Blame Nixon for that

These guys are getting more pathetic by the minute.

I wonder where this will end.

I bet Putin and Erdoghan are ecstatic about that.

Just saw this reported over here too Oberon! And Trump is just adding fuel to the fire with his war with the media doing this childish tantrum! But what else would you expect from this spoiled brat in the White House!

beat me to it oberon, Trump needs to step carefully here, If he plays it right, he can get the press to be a bit less critical, and might even get some positive press down the road.

Personally I think it is great. Keep having tantrums. The media has been stepping way out of bounds for decades. Report the news. Real news That's it.

Trump could cure cancer today and tomorrow the news would tell the world he does not care for kittens. Constantly critical of all he does. Constantly critical of Obama(but not as much).

eddie · 02-24-17, 05:18 PM

He will keep having tantrums,lol If you don't kiss his butt on everything like they do in his business dealings, he will have a tantrum.

eddie · 02-24-17, 05:43 PM

Here is a line from Trumps speech to CPAC,lol

"If it means I get bad press, if it means people speak badly of me, it's OK, doesn't bother me."

He was speaking about a massive military build up, BTW. Still...........

Oberon · 02-24-17, 05:43 PM

And the more tantrums he throws, the more ammunition the media will have to use against him. So indeed...keep having tantrums.

A prime example of the fake news koolaid you continue to drink. Trump hasn't silenced anyone yet you gleefully pretend that he has. Just because I don't want to talk to you doesn't mean I'm preventing you from speaking and neither is he.

These organizations promote and engage in over the top hysterics and biased reporting then whine just because he doesn't want to talk to them. Well good. Maybe if they ever regain their objectivity he'll be more willing to deal with the poisonous snakes.

When you can point to a news paper office getting raided or a TV network being shut down then you might have a point. Until then you're just drinking the democrats koolaid.

Nah, I'm immune to it now. All that's left is the sheer thrill of the game.

I'm absolutely sure that this won't be abused to crack down on protests:

No, they are not craking down on protests. What they are cracking down on is RIOT which according to the State Bill means: Riot; classification
A. A person commits riot if, with two or more other persons acting together, such person recklessly uses force or violence or threatens to use force or violence, if such threat is accompanied by immediate power of execution, which EITHER disturbs the public peace OR RESULTS IN DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY OF ANOTHER PERSON.
B. Riot is a class 5 felony.

Of course if you think the destruction of others hard work and property or causeing bodily injury to another is your god given right then I see why you would be upset over such a bill.
