These liberals stated that we Conservatives NEED TO FEAR DEATH so we stop saying what we say and voting for who we want in office.
How is that not terrorism?

This IS the Democrat Party now!
Think that's over the top?
Post anything that supports the claim that whatever non-psychopaths there still are in that festering sewer of treason, hate and destruction called the Democrat Party, are trying to take their party back to humanity - are fighting to make it more "centrist", to back away from supporting the illegal invasion of their country, to back away from LGBQT-Two-Spirit-Furry-Inverted-Wiener-Worship of the Great Bunghole+? - to back away from the most extreme misogyny in human history - to whit, there are no females except those as designated by homosexual males, i.e. the complete erasure of womankind.
It cannot be found, because such a movement does not exist inside that hellscape.
Reverse the poles - what if so called "conservatives" were preaching genocide against, well anyone, would there be crickets?
What if someone put a hole through Multi-Millionaire ($15MM) Socialist Bernie Sanders when he was out preaching violence and Communism - would millions of us post ghoulish celebrations of that act?
Hell no!
Every single one of them who still calls themselves a Democrat owns this.

Why hasn’t Antifa been declared a terrorist organization yet?
Are we giving them a couple weeks to destroy evidence first?
Could it be there is a data trail that connects them with a certain pariah state that specializes in assassinations?

On January 9, 2025, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced
House Resolution 26 (H.Res. 26), seeking to designate Antifa and its
affiliates as a domestic terrorist organization under section 2331 of title 18,
United States Code. The resolution points to a series of violent incidents
linked to Antifa-affiliated individuals and demonstrations, arguing that such
conduct constitutes domestic terrorism. Proponents view the resolution as
a step toward combating political violence, while critics raise significant
concerns about enforceability, civil liberties, and the potential for government
overreach.

She introduced a House Resolution 202 in 2023.
It died in committee (never made it to the full House for consideration).
This one revives that Resolution in Jan this year, but seems to have even less support, likely because ANTIFA hasn't been as active as they were before Trump's first term.

How is doxing and attacking ICE agents not considered active?
Apparently House Republicans are more than happy to allow Democrat goon squads to run rampant for some reason.
If I was a federal agent dealing with the same monsters over and over again I would be furious.

Trump was inaugurated in January.
The new resolution was submitted in January.
When did ANTIFA start doxing and attacking ICE agents?
The only total i found was from Portland:
With the addition of these four individuals, the number of federal defendants
charged in Portland in connection to protests and attacks at the ICE facility
since June 13, 2025, now stands at 22.
https://www.rvmnews.com/2025/07/four-more-antifa-extremists-charged-after-attacking-portland-ice-facility-watch/
So, i'm going with early June for the start of ANTIFA attacks on ICE this year.
In Aug, both the House and Senate took off every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and almost all weekends.
In Sep so far, they worked Tue - Thur the first week, and Mon - Thur this week.
If think Congress will get off their collective duff and do something besides campaign for reelection and attend parties, you haven't been paying attention.

Maybe MTG can push the resolution though now that the Summer's arrests of ANTIFA members are a matter of record? We'll see.

Antifa has been active the whole time. Andy Ngo has been tracking them ever since they gave him permanent brain damage,
Lots of murder and mayhem. Seattle and Portland are their incubators and the police have been instructed not to touch them.
Clearly a significant faction within our government finds them useful, otherwise they would not be allowed to exist.
The feds could roll them up in an afternoon. If they don’t do it soon then someone on the freshly radicalized right is going to step up and do it for them.
Maybe that’s the whole point. Sow chaos. We just haven’t taken the bait yet and the deep state is getting frustrated.

Separately, looks like firing squad really IS a possibility if found guilty in Utah;
“Bondi said she expects prosecutors to seek the death penalty, which she described as “very real in Utah,” noting that the state is allowed to use firing squads to carry out executions.”
That’d be a super sweet bookend just for all the demonic slime celebrating the shooting of Charlie Kirk by this satanic POS!

Utah law stopped allowing a sentence of death by firing squad in 2004. Anyone sentenced before 2004 and who opted for a firing squad is still able to have that option. All death sentences after 2004 must be by lethal injection.
Exception: If within 30 days of the execution date the state is unable to obtain the necessary chemicals to properly perform a lethal injection, then a firing squad will be the fallback method.
A ffiring squad won't apply to the Charlie Kirk shooter unless that exception kicks in.
The average time an inmate now spends on Utah’s death row is nearly 34 years,
a sign of how drawn-out and complex the process has become.

Charlie Kirk’s strong stance on death penalty
resurfaces after Utah assassination
Late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk advocated for the death penalty
on several occasions, arguing it should apply broadly in murder cases rather
than only in the most extreme circumstances.
: :
: :
Earlier this year, Kirk discussed his stance on capital punishment during an
exchange with a student captured in a video posted to Turning Point USA’s
YouTube channel. Kirk was asked about how he could support a "limited
government" while also believing it should have the power to execute people.
"I believe in a small but strong government and, for the record, I believe
that someone who took a life should have their life taken," Kirk told the student.
"Under every circumstance?" the student asks Kirk.
"Under most, yeah," Kirk responds.
The student countered that the death penalty should be reserved for extreme
instances, such as school shootings, mass murders and crimes against humanity,
but not for what she described as "eye-for-an-eye nonsense."

Charlie Kirk’s strong stance on death penalty
resurfaces after Utah assassination
"Earlier this year..."
It should be obvious to everyone by now that his stances had changed on a great number of topics in the past six months, and Catholic doctrine is against the death penalty as long as long term confinement is feasable and the community can be kept safe.
They believe every soul deserves the possibility of redemption.

If lethal injection is the only form of capital punishment I'd rather these monsters get thrown in prison for life with no parole with an anal rapist as a roommate and the key thrown away.

The shooter is 22. If he confesses or is convicted while he's 22, and the average time spent on death row in Utah is 34 years, he'd be 56 when sentence is carried out.
That's much more time spent incarcerated than he''s already been alive, all while having to anticipate his own death and the reason for his sentence.
So, you're basically getting the benefits of both: a long incarceration AND his unwilling participation in the room temperature challenge.

How the Left Programmed Young People to Hate
BY DAVID BETZ AND MICHAEL RAINSBOROUGH 16 SEPTEMBER 2025 11:45 AM
“Diversity’, ‘equity’ and ‘inclusion’ became less articles of faith than a set of tactics — no longer instruments of compromise but of humiliation, tools by which resentment was stoked and sustained. Generations of students have since been trained to denounce rather than to reason, to persecute rather than to persuade. This is Mao’s Red Guards reconstituted for a digital age: armies of accusation, armed less with AK-47s than with hashtags and HR manuals.
Those who dismiss the ‘culture wars’ as a distraction misunderstand the nature of conflict in our time. The sociologist James Davison Hunter, who coined the phrase three decades ago, cautioned that when disputes cease to be arguments within a shared reality and instead become clashes over what reality itself is, rapprochement is no longer possible. At that point, the logic of civic debate and constitutional politics gives way to the logic of force.
To see all this as a tragic misfortune is deeply mistaken. What has emerged is not spontaneous disorder but a carefully tended culture of antipathy — fertilized by theory, irrigated by resentful passions and sustained by bureaucracies whose survival depends on perpetual conflict.”

Do you assume that every person who adopts a Christian faith must 100% agree with all the opinions of their new faith no matter what?
Or, just like voting, you choose that denomination/church that most closely aligns with your own beliefs and values and accept there are areas in which you may still disagree?
Just because he was in the process of converting doesn't mean he'd actually converted, nor does it mean he changed his long-held opinions in order to conform to the church's.
The Catholic Church's stance on the death penatly has evolved over the past few decades. it's a moving target that's continually narrowing the cases in which states can morally apply a death sentence.
Many Catholic leaders argue that the church has not changed it's stance on capital punishment generally. it has only better defined the application of it using concrete historical examples.
it is important to show, and we do show, that a Catholic may legitimately
support capital punishment. But we go beyond that. We argue that there
really are no good reasons at all to abolish capital punishment, and that
there are compelling reasons to preserve it. Catholics not only may but
ought to support it.

He did have a major shift on his opinions regarding Israel, mostly because he was tired of being threatened for questioning their influence on our government.
It's not that big a jump from opposing genocide to opposing capital punishment.

Did you take a class in Extreme Rhetorical Nonsense? Nothing is ever slight, minor, reasonable or gradual with you.
Charlie never opposed capitol punishment, nor was there any genocide occurring in Palestine other than Hamas attacking and killing innocent civilians without provocation.
Kirk always openly supported Israel. He described this country as the
“front line of Western civilization”. When the US opened its embassy in
Jerusalem in 2018, Kirk was present there and called that visit “eye-opening”.
He also said that his organization would always stand with Israel.

Expert? seems like you're the one trying to pass yourself off as the SME of anti-US-Emperialism and a hundred other catch phrases.
In your opinion, if I start believing you, then I would be someone "who believes whatever they are told to believe," only it would be what YOU are telling me and not a source you disagree with. How is that not the same?
And don't say you are getting me to think for myself. Why can't I think for myself AND have opinions that oppose yours? The two are NOT mutually exclusice.

I never said ANTIFA has not been active until now. What I said was a comparison between different moments in time.
Everything is relative.

Charlie was turning against Israel and they perceived it as a major threat because they are losing the propaganda war.
The genocide has become too grotesque and one-sided to ignore. Most of the world has turned on them.
Their influence on our government has been decidedly anti-constitutional. Patriots don't like pedo protection rackets.
Their economy is falling apart. If we stopped funding them they would soon be overrun by all the enemies they made.
They specialize in political assassinations and are quite proud of it, regularly showing off their ingenuity.

Don’t worry. This won’t go on indefinitely since Israel probably won’t be around much longer.
Trying to intimidate Charlie was a giant screw up on their part, regardless of who actually sent the hit squad.
It’s eerily similar to the libs who thought they could say all those horrible things and were surprised when they got fired.
Israel thought they could do whatever they wanted without consequences, and now pretty much the entire planet hates them.

That's a lie. For example, all G7 nations support Israel. That alone shoots down the lie that "pretty much the entire planet hates them."
The G7 nations are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, along with the European Union as a non-enumerated member.

They g7 countries benefit from having a military base in the Middle East that destabilizes the region in order to control the flow of energy.
When Israel falls our gas prices will go through the roof, and that will wipe out whatever is left of our fake economy.
That’s probably why Trump is trying to protect them until we can invade Venezuela or the arctic. At some point Israel will be cut loose once they no longer serve a purpose, and I genuinely do feel bad for the people who live there and have no idea what’s going on. Hopefully most of them get out in time.
Somehow our nation moved away from Christian values and decided that it’s okay to allow genocide and pedophilia if that’s the cost of holding on to our wealth. Then Charlie came along and reminded everyone what having principles actually looks like and they killed him for it.

Charlie Kirk said something along the lines when asked about Israel and why he supports them over Palestine: "they aren't' the most righteous, but in the region they are". With regard that they aren't perfect, as no nation is. Even the US killed innocents in various wars.

Fragile ego? LOL!!! You still haven't addressed my questions. Seems like your ego is too fragile for an honest discussion.
The United Nations independent international commission of inquiry (COI),
which does not speak on behalf of the UN, found that “genocide is occurring
in Gaza and is continuing to occur”, said its head, Navi Pillay.
. .
. .
The COI, set up by the UN in 2021 and staffed by three independent experts,
cited the killing of civilians and children in a “scorched-earth military strategy”,
starvation and deaths caused by restrictions on food and medicines, mistreatment
of detainees, forced displacement and the physical devastation of much of the
territory to support its finding.
. .
. .
The independent COI’s analysis is the strongest finding by a UN body to date but
its conclusions do not represent the UN’s official position. The world body itself
has not yet used the term genocide, but is under growing pressure to do so.
If the UN hasn't adopted the report created by 3 so-called experts, then why do you think it carries any weight with anyone else?
This is the definition of grasping at straws. The 3 experts have demonstrated a clear anti-Israel bias in the past. No surprise they were selected for this commission.

I think the preemptions are a stepping stone toward cancellation. They have a contract that needs to be considered. if the lawyers can find cause for termination, he may be in big trouble. Not only can his show be cancelled, the network can sue him for breach of contract. That could put a huge dent in Kimmel's bank account through lawyers, penalties and settlements.
Looking forward to see if he gets everything he deserves.

Jimmy's ratings were awful. The cable companies revolted after his comments and this was just a good excuse for Disney to cut their losses while playing the victim card.

If you were going to equate the Democrat Party and Antifa I think you should attempt to show that before asking me to prove the negative of that.
The left has their extreme faction just as does the right (proud boys for example). They say and do the most provocative things and they get the most attention.
How would the Democrat party even get rid of Antifa? Does Antifa have a seat at the DNC? Lefty extremists are still going to vote left and are still going to protest the things they believe in.
If democrats were really one and the same as Antifa you wouldn't have dozens or even hundreds clashing with cops, you would have millions.

Jimmy's ratings were awful. The cable companies revolted after his comments and this was just a good excuse for Disney to cut their losses while playing the victim card.
Agree with you there but the bigger problem is the FCC threatening companies over their public speech. Not only should the government not be doing that it just creates more problems. It turns Kimmel into a martyr, opens up the door for a lawsuit against the government, and creates a precedent which can later turn around and bite the right when the left comes to power.

Wrong.
You're parroting what the MSM talking heads are trying to gaslight the public with.
There are about 160 ABC affiliates who decided to implement the preemptive programming and take Kimmel off. Their reasons had nothing to do with the FCC. It was because they didn't want to lose their advertisers and because their key market demographic didn't like what Kimmel was spouting off. It was purely about trying to protect their revenue before the Bud Light Effect took hold.
Yes, the FCC said they were going to investigate, but that doesn't require the networks to stop airing Kimmel in the meatime.
The fact that Kimmel refused to apologize also helped his handlers make the decision. Again, not an FCC issue.
This video explains it much more thoroughly and provides facts to back up the conclusions.
https://youtu.be/MAsmzL7DLjM
Colbert's show is already cancelled, so whatever he has to say is irrelevant. He can say whatever, and all the network will do is preempt him too, but they can't fire him twice.
Kimmel's contract is up in a year, so he's probably looking at the same writing on the wall as Colbert: cancelation.
The country is tired of unfunny political smear shows masquerading as late night comedy. That's why their ratings are in the sewer.

Wrong.
Nope

Were you in the boardrooms listening to their reasons?
If ABC aaffiliates felt it was that bad then let them take action on their own. If they decide to remove him for fear of loss of advertisers then great but once the government steps in you cannot separate that threat from the calculus.
Furthermore, I don't care if ABC decided to axe Kimmel, I care that the government is making threats over speech the administration doesn't like even if ABC didn't care about the threats one bit.

This is all accusations with no proof. What we do have proof of is Zuck saying in congress that the Brandon admin urged him strongly to censor people.
I guess the FCC changed directions since they reinstated Kimmel. Again showing EEF is wrong.

Yes, the government going after Facebook and Google and the Tea Party are all terrible abuses of power. This one just adds to the list.

Yes, that's what the thread is about. Why don't you post the threat that sounds something like "if you don't fire Kimmel, we will shut you down". "Investigating" isn't a threat. Or are you saying you've threatened people who you were "investigating", if you think an investigation is a threat?

Nexstar and Sinclair together own around 70 ABC affiliates and are both in the process of mergers which require approval from the FCC. What a coincidence that the 70 stations that dropped Kimmel's show were also the ones owned by Nexstar and Sinclair.

True. By definition, stuff you make up are just lies. Yet, you present them as if they are viable facts.
I didn't read a single threat by the FCC in this article. Only the writer asserting that one was "implied." That's an opinion based on an interpretation without direct evidence.
The FCC didn’t respond to requests for comment this week, however,
Carr took to social media platform X to weigh in earlier on Tuesday.
“On Kimmel, the Democrats are engaged in nothing more than Projection
and Distortion,” Carr said in his post on Tuesday, adding, “Distortion
because Democrats want to blame anything other than Disney and
their local TV stations for Kimmel’s suspension. Those businesses
decided that, in their view, a suspension made sense. The reporting
on this is clear.”
“Notably, this is the first time recently that any local TV stations have
pushed back on a national programmer like Disney. And that is a good
thing because we want empowered local TV stations. After all, local
TV stations—not the national programmers—have public interest
obligations, and they should be making decisions that in their view
meets the needs of their local communities,” Carr posted.

Man faces hate crime charges over 'hundred plus' explosives,
threats outside cathedral ahead of SCOTUS event
Louis Geri allegedly carried manifesto targeting Catholics, Jews, Supreme Court justices and ICE
Washington, D.C., police say they arrested a New Jersey man with hundreds
of homemade explosives and a manifesto containing "significant animosity"
toward Catholics, Jews, the U.S. Supreme Court and Immigration and Customs
Enforcement outside a cathedral hours before it was supposed to host an
annual event that some justices were expected to attend.
A Metropolitan Police Department officer found Louis D. Geri, 41, camped out
in a green tent in front of the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington,
D.C. around 5 a.m. on Sunday.
Police were securing the area ahead of the event, called Red Mass, and they
asked Geri to move his tent, according to an affidavit.
"You might want to stay back and call the federales," Geri is alleged to have told
an officer, according to the document filed in Washington's criminal court. "I have
explosives..."

As I said earlier, smart people don't make threats directly, they wrap them in plausible deniability. But for the sake of argument, lets say you are right, the FCC chairman's weren't an actual threat, it is still an abuse of power, the federal government flexing its muscle for the sake of the president's authoritarian tendencies.
I can give you the pieces of the puzzle, I can't force you to put them together to see the picture they make. Ted Cruz clearly sees it and no way he's some whiny liberal

So, your evidence that the FCC chair made a threat is there is none, because the FCC chair is smart?
There are no pieces to the puzzle that demonstrate a threat of any sort on the part of the FCC toward ABC or its affiliates.

stop being obstinate, I know you are not dumb. You know very well threats can be made without wording it in a way that is a clear threat.
It is an abuse of power because the power is being levied in a way that it never was and is being done for the interest of the president. Ted Cruz can see it, why can't you?

How is the FCC holding ABC's feet to the fire about LIES and DEMONIZING ACCUSATIONS made by Jimmy Kimmel being done in the interest off the President? He's not the only person about whom Kimmel lied and made accusations regarding Charlie Kirk's assassination. if the post office lowered stamp prices tomorrow by 25 cents, you'd swear it was done to benefit Trump, even though everyone who mails a letter is also benefitting.

7 of the Biggest FCC Fines of All Time
In 1934, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was established
to “regulate interstate and international communications by radio, television,
wire, satellite, and cable. The FCC’s jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions.”
In the early days of radio, the FCC’s major weapon for deterring indecency
was to revoke broadcast licenses. This meant that radio stations and their a
dvertisers had to create their own censorship standards to ensure they didn’t
ruffle the FCC’s feathers and get their station pulled from the airwaves.
That was then, and this is now. Today, the FCC levies fines against broadcasters
who air indecent content over the air. In fact, the FCC first started using fines
as a deterrent in 1975 when they fined radio broadcaster Pacifica Foundation
for airing comedian George Carlin’s “Seven words you can’t say on
television” routine.
But the FCC doesn’t just dole out fines for airing offensive content. They have
a whole set of rules that affect everyone from TV broadcasters to phone companies,
and they’re willing to fine anyone who steps out of line.
Check out these 7 super-sized FCC fines.
1. Univision is fined $24 million for lack of children’s shows
2. Qwest gets slapped with $9 million fine for thwarting competition
3. Univision pays another $1 million for accepting payment to play recording artists
4. Without a Trace’s teen orgy scene prompts $3.6 million fine for CBS
5. Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction earns CBS a $550,000 fine
6. Bubba the Love Sponge’s shows draw $755,000 fine against Clear Channel
7. FCC fines lead Howard Stern to satellite radio—In 1995, Infinity Broadcasting paid $1.7 million for various violations by Stern. Nearly 10 years later, the broadcast company was paying hundreds of thousands more for other indecency fines from Howard Stern’s broadcasts. All of these fines led to Stern’s departure from Clear Channel, causing him to join uncensored satellite radio.
Howard Stern iand George Carlin are direct proof that the FCC has gone after broadcasters for the things comedians said on their stations.

Back to the original theme of this thread - this leading Communist just fled to Europe. The clip seems to be a great look into this terrorist movement within our borders - especially for those who don’t yet get that they openly contemplate armed insurgency - they do, and this guy makes it explicit:
For years, Rutgers professor Mark Bray, author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, has openly defended political violence as part of “anti-fascist resistance.” In a recent interview, he even admitted that violence is “one of the tools in the toolbox.”
https://x.com/thestustustudio/status/1976288827250442438?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1976288827250442438%7Ctwgr%5E6eb415ac7b7c8745eb6092bc35fc8045aaff6cc3%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fpolitical%2Fantifas-mask-slips-trumps-roundtable-sends-shadow-ngo-network-behind-riot-inc-panic

So it turns out Antifa is supported by taxpayer money laundered through the homeless industrial complex.
Liberal cities create policies to promote homelessness and then divert federal funding designated to fix the problem to the Democratic Party Brownshirt Brigades.

Whether or not their words are made public with actual evidence, the party of slavery and systemic racism thinks political violence is not only justified, but more of it would go a long way toward solving the nation's problems.
Jay Jones -- running for Virginia Attorney General
Member of the Virginia House of Delegates from the 89th district,
In office January 10, 2018 – January 2, 2022
Texts from 2022 have been made public where Jones says his GOP opponent and his kids should die.
“Three people, two bullets,” Jones wrote in a text to
House Delegate Carrie Coyner (R) about Gilbert.
“Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot,” Jones wrote. “Gilbert gets
two bullets to the head.”
“Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst
people you know and he receives both bullets every
time,” Jones told Coyner.
Coyner, in response, told Jones, who at the time did
not hold an elected office, to stop.
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5541374-jay-jones-text-scandal/
Then, the Democrat candidate for Governor, Abigail Spanberger, refused during a live debate to withdraw her endorsement of Jones for AG after multiple attempts to get an answer.
The Democrats as a party are evil and will do anything for power. The people who support them may be moral and good in their own lives, but when they keep these people in power in spite of evidence against them, they are no better than the evil politicians themselves.
That's why political violence is not off the table for Dems. They will almost always lose in the arena of ideas and fair dialogue, so they have a backup plan -- violence against the opposition. They are no different than Communist and Socialist leaders we've seen for a century. In their world, if you can't beat them, eliminate them.

Absolutely true, and every non-comatose Dem knows it too. They are absolutely complicit. It’s a grave mistake to give them a free pass. The ones that seem nice are just the passive/aggressive ones.

No threat = no abuse of power.
I disagree.
How is the FCC holding ABC's feet to the fire about LIES and DEMONIZING ACCUSATIONS made by Jimmy Kimmel being done in the interest off the President?
Authoritarians tend to not like being criticized. He sued CBS, now he is in a position to wield power through law, not just a lawsuit. This is a clear message to be careful about what you say about that side. It's not like he went after a news source either, he went after a comedian. Here is way to test whether this really is about some interest of Trump to have accurate news: If Trump starts going after right leaning broadcast news for lies as he does the left then we can see it is fair and about the truth.
Aside from that, it's a huge irony that Trump cares about truth telling when he tells more lies than hairs on his head.
He's not the only person about whom Kimmel lied and made accusations regarding Charlie Kirk's assassination. if the post office lowered stamp prices tomorrow by 25 cents, you'd swear it was done to benefit Trump, even though everyone who mails a letter is also benefitting.
Who said the FCC has never done this before?

Kimmel is the one who chose to lie about a political topic. don't blame the FCC for that. If he'd lied about COVID vaccine data or transgender reassignment surgery success rates, they would still be lies that can harm the public.
In your world, if I run a red light and get stopped, the cop should not issue me a ticket if I argue that the only reason he stopped me was political -- like the bumper and window stickers I have on the vehicle, or the political apparel I have on.
To you, the broadcaster is somehow insulated from consequences because the lies had to do with a political party and MAGA. That's insane.

Obama’s legacy: The trashing of free speech
Also that year the Committee to Protect Journalists released a report titled “The Obama Administration and the Press,” which began with this paragraph:
“U.S. President Barack Obama came into office pledging open government, but he has fallen short of his promise. Journalists and transparency advocates say the White House curbs routine disclosure of information and deploys its own media to evade scrutiny by the press. Aggressive prosecution of leakers of classified information and broad electronic surveillance programs deter government sources from speaking to journalists.”

Do you have any evidence the Trump FCC only targets liberals? You know, the same way the Obama IRS almost only approved liberal applications for 401 status while sitting on Conservative organizations' applications so they were hamstrung in their fundraising just ahead of a national election?
