Good luck claiming that to be "f**e news".

Are you kidding The Pumpkinfuhrer is outraged that he is subject to criticism from the press and poked fun at by comedians. If this happened to the despotic dictators he admires they have the culprits thrown in gulags or murdered. The poor Pumpkinfuhrer longs for such power and the false sense of respect it provides.

I love how the right will cry crocodile tears whenever they think the left is infringing on their h**e speech but they are totally mute when they are shown doing the same. SAD...

I love how the right will cry crocodile tears if they think the left is infringing on their h**e speech but they are mute when their disregard of the first amendment is shown to be worse...

They think the Bill of Rights is only meant to protect them, I suppose they expect the left to make their own Bill of Lefts, pun intended.

You probably don’t see the irony of you using the h**e speech label for others.

You and many others on the left are silent on censorship by Facebook, Google, Youtube and Twitter and you want to control language under the guise of political correctness. So do tell again how much you value the 1st.

If Trump is serious he’s being stupid.
