I've banished ALL the cable news from my house.. from both sides. They quit doing anything but chasing profits through division years (decades?) ago.

Trump and most republicans hate the first amendment.

Many have taken measures to violate several protections it provides.

Especially the right to protest.

Pres Trump: Agree with me or your access will be denied.

@#3 ... I've banished ALL the cable news from my house.. from both sides. ...

And that was your choice for yourself. I have no issue with that, indeed, kudos for doing what you want!

But Pres Trump is trying to prevent news organizations that do not echo his lies from using their Constitutional First Amendment Right.

He does not have the right to prevent Americans from knowing about what is occurring in The Peoples' House.

And he calls his admin the ~most transparent administration ever.~

The fact he's banning them tells me they are credible.

Hate speech is the only free speech worshipped in the US.

Getting put on Nixon's enemies list, historically speaking, was not a bad thing. The fact that some people and outlets are high on Trump's favorable list is pretty damning truth be told.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Accountability is coming so everyone look busy.

Round up the usual suspects!

It's either real ballsy or real stupid to take on the First Amendment just before a critical election.

I say go for it.

But I'll bet he TACOs before next Tuesday.

Trump will go down in flames, anyone thinking he's going to go his last two years quietly is in for a major surprise........but I should use a quote from one of my favorite movies, "The Untouchables":

Don't wait for it to happen. Don't even want it to happen. Just watch what does happen.

I'll wager that as of now (Saturday morning) suits have already been filed to block this petulant, childish outburst from the fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat. It will be a laff riot to see Der Dotard avoid all of the female reporters from CNN, MS and Politico from here until the day after the 2028 election ...

"Trump will go down in flames, anyone thinking he's going to go his last two years quietly is in for a major surprise"

The next logical step will be the mass arrests of the press and political opponents.

"Mass" because he's already been attempting this on a small scale.
