The Only Official News

Republican Rep. Lamar Smith saluted President Donald Trump from the floor of the House on Tuesday evening..."Better to get your news directly from the President. In fact, it might be the only way to get the unvarnished truth."

http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/25/politics/lamar-smith-donald-trump-news/index.html

We are being told by a sitting member of congress, chairperson of the science committee, from the house floor, to only trust what trump tells you and to not trust the news media.

Now, close your eyes and imagine for 60 whole seconds, if a Democrat had stood on the house floor at any point in the previous 8 years and said the same thing about Obama. How do you think the news media and republicans would have reacted to such a declaration?

This is serious dystopian-level stuff here. Seriously, pull all the levers and ring all the bells.
The days of joking around and being keyboard warriors has passed. We must take this as seriously as it's being stated.

We must be united in our fight against trump's agenda because we will all be victims of it.
