(4,423 posts)Trump has been trying to get rid of that since he began campaigning. That's what the "lock her up" chants are all about.

(8,200 posts)They have a commanding army of 30% of the citizens who have been transformed into mindless creatures. They literally feast on a daily helping of vicious propaganda that has so destroyed their common sense that they accept the most outrageous nonsense as glorious truth. Absolute lies spread like a wild fire through their friends, family and faith communities without any question as to their validity.
I have no idea how or if this contagion that has infected such a large section of the population can be stopped. Reagan and his oligarchy of billionaires' coup in which they repealed the Fairness Doctrine and allowed multiple ownership of the broadcast networks is the crucial key that must be overturned if saneness and balance it to be restored. They effective accomplished what every dictator is fully aware of if they are to maintain power. That is that is the absolute control of the media. Their war on truth is being intensified by the present administration that is attempting to discredit any voice that challenges their propaganda campaign. If they succeed the war is over and they have won and truth dies and the fascist state is established.

It scares me that the reich wing media continues on.

Prince is on Fox and Friends this morning fellating The Asset through the tv, pitching a private army to take over Afghanistan.
Related - yesterday I read that top military leaders are to be replaced.
All of this has been in the works for awhile, probably at Putins direction.

(7,142 posts)are in fact retiring at a record pace. I imagine that Prince has given Trump a list of his cronies to replace them.
Congress must stop this, now.

How come I never heard about this before?
How do we know this is not already happening? It is not like it is something he would announce publicly.
