He could meet with them, and on every occasion mock and heap scorn on them publicly for the shills that they are, then go over their heads and address the American people directly, the networks would broadcast it all anyway.

That great champion of the Constitution, the guy who wants to "make American great again," will fight hard to remove one of the very tenets that made this country great to begin with.

And his cult, represented here by the OP, will cheer as he attempts to dismantle the First Amendment.
They only care about one amendment, JAMS, and it isn't the First.

Absolutely not! Press should keep the same access they always
had to the presidency. He needs to man up and pay back all the free media exposure
he got thru his carnival barking and low brow insults that the world was forced to endure
during the election campaign.
As far as not reporting the news the way Trump likes it? too bad, he
nor any of you on this forum should get to decide .
I swear it feels like we have all landed in a really bad B movie with Trump as the star.

Lastly , I don't understand the request for us to go away ?
How could there be a discussion with half of us gone?

Is there a place to report real, honest-to-goodness fascists? People who advocate for things like revoking the First amendment? Just asking for a friend.

I would like to agree, but don't think you are on the dime.

The era of great fundamental change in the U.S. which first came forward in 1980, has had an inevitable direction and culmination. Mr. Trump is it.

And the I think we ain't seen nuthin' yet, baby.

This President Elect is a dirty, sneaky, slimy bas tard. Those of us in New York who know him best gave him just ten percent of the votes.


Trump would love nothing more than to have the Press go away, or only be available when he has something about which he wants to sway public opinion. His use of the Press to incite, manipulate, race bait and deliver a series of hollow promises (and threats) to the masses during the campaign was truly remarkable.


So was Mussolini's.


Be careful for what you wish. This guy is only interested in three things: Himself. Self aggrandizement. And Your money to fund it all.

Sounds a lot like Bill Clinton's wife.

One had a better hair day than the other on a certain Tuesday in November.

I hope the MSM go into overdrive and bury Trump and his band of neo-fascists in 2020.
They need to bury Hillary. It is quite clear she is the dirtiest, opportunistic piece of work that ever came down the pike....
