In any reasonable country this should result in immediate removal from office.

Australia's One Nation Party, backed by Trump billionaire sycophant Gina Reinhart, has also done this, banning The Guardian and ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation akin to the UKs BBC) . The leader is an Australian Senator and she could be the nations leader at the next election.

CNN sells their soul and capitulates to the orange moron and then he bans them anyway, this is one of several thousand reasons you should never bend the knee.

Unconstitutional.

Can you imagine how many amendments will be created because of this asswad.

I'm 97% sure his second term is him giving a big fuck you to the American people by destroying american way of life and cost of living and tarnishing trust and goodwill on the world stage because he didn't win two consecutive terms. Something Barack Hussein Obama did...and did easily.

That and a chance to earn him and his family and parasites billions in profit.

To what end, he's got a couple years left not only in the white house but on this earth, unless they cracked immortality hes up there in age. And what legacy? That name trump will be likened to that of Hitler and it should be ended.

None. There are enough scumbags in government (i.e., Republicans) who like things just the way they are and would never support changing it. Fortunately it works both ways, there is enough opposition to prevent really crazy shit being added to the Constitution.

I don't think there's much patching to be done with these vulnerabilities. Time to git update-ref -d HEAD and start again. I'm personally highly favorable towards the worker-power, direct-democracy, and worker-assembly libraries

Politico? I feel like they try to be extremely kind to the right wing in general, but they don't lie, and that must be the problem.

a blantant 1st amendment violation. Using the office to curtail freedom of the press.

Psst, news people, stop following him around, he likes the attention and does nothing but lie to you on camera. Find other sources for your reporting and stop showing me videos of that guy talking forever.

I have all of Google blocked and my online traffic goes halfway across the planet so I rarely watch videos. But when I read even quotes of him talking I can’t make it all the way through. The level of patience needed to make it through that withering, meandering KFC coated throaty voice of his is something I’ll never have.

I truly feel for the translators who have to interpret his utterances. I read the English version and it's like hearing a book report from a kid who just skimmed the cover and is dropping nouns they recognized in between completely unrelated but extremely rude, false, or narcissistic statements.

I’m multilingual myself and I really couldn’t imagine translating half of his sentences. And imagine doing it in a language where the word order is different so you’re caught waiting for the sentence to end but it just never does.

I’ve heard (anecdote only) that this accounts for some foreign countries believing he’s more well-spoken than reality. Translators, for the sake of clarity, might clean up much of the meandering. It’s difficult to convey poor English in a translation.

Sure, why not? At this point, does it even matter anymore? The US is finished, there's no coming back from this. Trump has shown what's possible and that nothing can stop a fully committed criminal in the White House. Others will follow in his footsteps, only far more competent and effective.

In principal yes - but he's a very petty person, I think in this case it's just his personal vendetta against people who dare criticize him.

i mean CNN has been leaning right since his first term, at first bought out by Malone and installed litch, and then litche was ousted a while ago, and appearently still trying to appeal to the right, but not entirely so.
