I love how when Obama called Fox News right wing propaganda that everyone came after him and said it was an attack on free speech. Then you have all the alt-right losers talk about how the right wing is the branch of free speech for years. Then you have these issues and the right wing just sit on the wayside waiting for a left wing social issue to come up to pounce on that while they ignore this.

Fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

I'm 56. I feel like, even if Trump dies this week, I'll still spend the rest of my life, no matter how long I may live, hearing about this fuckwit and the effects he's had on the world. There will never be an end to headlines like this as long as I may live. This depresses me.

Reagan stopped being president 36 years ago, and died 21 years ago, and we are still feeling the after effects of his policies. Unfortunately, I think Trump's will likely be felt for longer.

He has spoken about this before, but as a reminder and clarification:

Trump is talking about ending freedom of the press.

That uneducated piece of shit they call a president has already done that. It’s just a question of scale.

They've already got the three branches of the federal government, now it's time to go for the fourth estate.

I really wish he would just pull all those broadcast licenses. And then those networks could sue him, and he would find out that freedom of speech means we get to say the most unfavorable things about him whenever we want to. He has no authority over it. So FUCK YOU trump, you whiny little bitch!

His face is really drooping. He had (a) stroke(s). This might be his last xmas, God, Allah, Buddha, The Dalai Lama, Muhammed and Jesus permitting.

I think that lot have been asleep at the wheel for a long time...

I feel like I actually got a little more stupid, as I read that article. How old is he again? I know that the hate will not go away with his passing, but at least some of this stupidity will. The hell watches late night shows?

None may criticise the beloved leader!
