You slightly misunderstood what I said about the media. Yes, they are currently an enemy of the people and the entrenched deep state media has to be destroyed in my opinion in order to save the Republic. They can publish their garbage without restraint but there's no reason to grant them an audience...they can go to Starbucks, download the bills that are signed and report on them.
Are there any other amendments you dislike or is it just the First?

I also remember Obama telling us what Networks we should be watching instead of Fox.
Ridiculing the handicapped is okay but ridiculing FOX is bad? They`ve earned their ridicule fair and square. 2 university studies have found that my German shepherd is better informed than FOX viewers not to mention she`s better looking. FOX makes dumb people dumber.

Others are equally unhinged after the events of the week. They insist there is a cover-up taking place, even though, after nine months of 'investigation' they have not found one shred of evidence of Russian interference or collusion with the Russians by the President, a charge that was made by Hillary Clinton, without evidence, and conveniently lent credence when Obama ordered an investigation into the charge.

This is not a "Constitutional crisis." The President acted within his purview. It is the President who nominates the FBI director and the Director serves at his pleasure. That's the simple fact of the matter.

Comey was a grandstander, full of himself, to the point that he wasn't able to do his job in a way that elicited confidence. He was full of contradictions. He was the law unto himself, in the words of one observer. He bent the law to suit his own purpose, even inferring (in the Clinton email probe) that the law required that intent be proven in order to obtain a conviction. It does not.

So now, the liberal press, obsessed with their hatred of Trump and unable to contain it, is even claiming this has cinched Trump's fate, seeming to intend that to mean "he is done." Ridiculous!

The monopoly the liberal Press once had has been broken (Charles Krauthammer), and the liberal media can't stand it. So they go over the top. They make outrageous claims ("Constitutional Crisis") and "Trump is finished."

No, the Constitutional crisis we have is the Democrats not accepting the results of a Constitutionally held election, becoming the "Resistance Party," in effect advocating a coup-d' état like some third world nation with an unstable government. This is unprecedented in the United States.

The Constitutional crisis is Democrats' constituents rioting in the streets, breaking glass, overturning cars and setting fires, because of their dissatisfaction with the election results, silencing any speakers who supported Trump, or are conservative.

The Constitutional crisis is the Democrats actively seeking reasons to remove the Constitutionally elected President simply on the basis that they do not like him.

It's time to get over the hate and act like adults, and work with the President to move this country forward. The spectacle they are creating, in view of the entire world, is not helpful to a country that is the leader of the free world. Without American leadership there would be no 'free world' at all. The world would be plunged back into the dark ages.
"Your" president is an embarrassment who has single-handedly made our country a bit of a laughing stock. There is no amount of facts that can persuade you or anyone like you of that or the reality of his ignorance and abusiveness. We all will suffer the consequences.

No, the embarrassment was the last guy, Barack H. Obama. Most of the world was relieved when Trump was elected. Obama screwed our allies. His "Iran Deal," making "nice" with the Muslim Brotherhood (the "Father" of Al Qaeda and Hamas) was just plain stupid!

You are living in a fantasy world if you think "most of the world was relieved"...what IS true is that most of the world is laughing/rolling their eyes at our embarrassment who calls himself president...continue to go partisan with all your opinions, it won't matter...those of you who drank the koolaid would, indeed, continue to support Trump if he stood in the streets and mowed down innocents with a machine gun...you'd find some way to rationalize it...he was definitely correct about that.

I don't think folks are over the edge about Comey being fired but I do think that there is a big concern about the timing and true reasons for his firing.

But some of y'all like the dramatic approach to your political rants.

I'm merely saying your ignorance on this topic is blindingly on display with the statement you made in the previous post.
