Would Orwell be proud?

In 2013, Trump said the Washington Post was a fine paper and Jeff Bezos' acquisition was taking it to a new level.(In a good way)

Today he proclaims it all fake news..


Fun fact..Politico has conducted a poll and 43% of Republicans believe Trump should be able to decide what is and isn't in the press...

Now constitutionally he can't, but that is where we are with Trumpers. a sizable minority really treat him like a god.

Scary.😞

@Pikachu All of those Republicans should be deported to Russia, so they can enjoy living in the country of their dreams under a leader even stronger than Trump. MRGA--Making Russia Great Again.
@windinhishair


Yeah might as well. If they want a dictator, go let them live with a dictator

@windinhishair Better yet, NK.. That way they will have added incentive to cheer, and clap at anything their dear leader says or does...Death if they don't.

@HerKing We can send some to both countries. We've got plenty of right-wing white supremacist traitors to go around.

@jackjjackson Groovy eh? How do you come to the conclusion I'm an elitist? Do you look down on intelligence? Trump does.

Feel free to continue frothing behind your keyboard spewing hate. It appears you are convinced you know what’s best for everyone and are smartest than everyone. Your parents, cats and birds must be so proud. At one point you seemed to be a person capable of rational discussion however you’ve reduced yourself to a know it all hypocrite zealot. @HerKing

@jackjjackson LOL.. You're almost funnier when you start with this crap. I don't 'know it all'. I don't even pretend to know it all. But we have a POTUS who seems to revel in not knowing anything of any value. The only thing he knows is he needs to be adored. He knows in his mind that he's the most important person in the world. That was proven a few days ago when he threw his own son under the bus and effectively admitted that Jr had perjured himself to the Senate. Which father would do that? Even Flynn who was a foreign agent didn't do that.

@jackjjackson Who is an elitist? I'm just someone with common sense--something you lack. Republicans want to live in a country with an authoritarian leader who controls the press. They've said so themselves. North Korea and Russia are two such countries.

Why don’t you simply worry about yourself. You don’t know what others think.

@jackjjackson [quote]are in charge of nothing[/quote]

Is this a veiled acceptance that Trump is making progress in being a supreme leader? Unfettered by constraints, checks and balances? Never held to account for his actions or intentions? Is that what you want? Stephen Miller ( Unelected architect of several of Trump's 'policies'said very early on that Trump's authority would not be questioned. Does that sit easy with you?

No. It’s a direct reference to you Mr Know It All. You’re mistaken. At most you speak for yourself. [image deleted]@HerKing

@jackjjackson I know what 43% of Republicans think because they copped to believing in control of a free press by the President.

What a ridiculous thing to say. Worrying about ourselves is great and the ideal, apart from OUR lives are being fucked by the twat in the WH.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Your opinion. Nothing more. You’re cat must be so proud. Award yourself this::

@HerKing

@jackjjackson I don't like cats you ignorant troll.. So between the two of us yep, I AM the smartest person in the room.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
There is it. More name calling. At one point I thought you were capable of reasoned civil discourse. Now it’s clear you’re an angry zealot [image deleted]@HerKing

Isn't that your dear leader with all the best words and the best schools and shit?

Hey I'm sorry, I thought you'd have toughened up since Trump took office and been a bit more inured to insults. My bad...
