The five networks later issued a joint statement, writing: "The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting."

Trumpy will obviously lose this fight.

So my question is what is Trumpy trying to distract us from?

There are so many catastrophes facing this administration it's hard to tell which one he is deflecting us from today.

The 300 foot-long gash in the side of the RMS MAGAtanic.

For MAGAts it's time to run for the lifeboats; women and children first- but only if they agree to be abused and raped during and forever afterwards.

That's just a small part of the reasoning.

Thank god.

May he shut up forever.

But it won't last.

Trump lives the attention.

He can't abide being ignored.

It was good to see Fox News standing in solidarity with CNN, MSNow and Politico against censorship of the press.

Sad that the russian bought stations did not join in. They don't realize that allowing him to do this would allow a democrat to ban them.

It is either freedom of the press for all or freedom for none.

With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

Operating under the premise that "what goes around comes around", a phrase that the vast number of Americans are likely to be very familiar with, I can't help but believe that these capitulators think that he is not going away and are willing to bet their future well being and that of their company. While the first tasks of the next democratic president must be to get the economy working for all Americans, the next task has to be rebuilding international relationships; starting with getting rid of the tariffs. Somewhere in that vast list of things to undo must be to make capitulators pay. Start anti-trust investigations on some of these shady mergers and acquisitions. Put through tax increases on the wealthy. Examine all of the "no bid" contracts with a fine tooth comb. Finally, but still high in priority, is tearing down the monuments he built to himself.

Pools that haven't been good to Trump:
- press
- reflecting
- gene
