I've had somebody try to rob me at gun point. I never felt I needed a gun afterwards.

But god damn guns are cool. You could blow somebody's brains all over the place with a gun.

(i) Lie to the press:
- as on inaugaration day, when he described rain as sunshine.
- as when he described chaos, confusión and protests over his ill-conceived travel ban as "going nicely"
(ii) Lie about the press:
- as when he says, "All negative polls are false."
- as when he accuses them of writing "fake news." For the record, "fake news" are deliberately fabricated stories to serve as click bait. Even if mainstream reporting is biased or inaccurate, it's not "fake news."
- describing the press as "the enemy of the people". A term like this is a red flag, haha, to anyone familiar with Stalin-era Russia. It's a very sinister, non-specific accusation, which, if unchallenged, allows for all manner of persecution.
(iii) Muzzle the press:
- White House blocks CNN, other news organizations from press briefing - Feb. 24, 2017

Dan Rather is such a famous US newsman that even I've heard of him. Here's what he posted yesterday about the Trump admin's treatment of his profession. For a guy who's been in the business for decades, it's a pretty damning condemnation:-

Quote:
The time for normalizing, dissembling, and explaining away Donald Trump has long since passed. The barring of respected journalistic outlets from the White House briefing is so far beyond the norms and traditions that have governed this republic for generations, that they must be seen as a real and present threat to our democracy. These are the dangers presidents are supposed to protect against, not create.

There has been a wall of unbending support from virtually every Republican in Congress, and even some Democrats. Do you maintain that an Administration that seeks to subvert the protections of our Constitution is fit to rule unchecked? Or fit to rule at all?

This is an emergency that can no longer be placed solely at the feet of President Trump, or even the Trump Administration. This is a moment of judgement for everyone who willingly remains silent. It is gut check time, for those in a position of power, and for the nation

Dan Rather is an icon and knows a thing or two about being politically suppressed.

I'm not a 2nd Amendment nut either. I don't even know that it needs to be an amendment at all. If it's there so people can arm themselves against the government then the time when that would be particularly helpful probably died with the advent of the tanks and bombers. And if it's just about self-defense then I don't think that is important enough to make it such an inviolate right. I probably wouldn't care that much if it became a state issue.

It is a state issue to many degrees.
