Trump continues to attack the Constitution.

First the 14th Amendment.

Now the First Amendment.

Government taking action against the press. Clear violation.

I don't care what dbag is sitting in the press room. I just don't want the Constitution amended with a red ink pen.

Sets a dangerous precedent.

What happens when the next lib is elected president and draws a line through 2A?

Yes they can. The freedom of speech and the press does not mean freedom of access. The first amendment simply means they can say or write whatever they want and not be thrown in jail for it.

Oh contraire, Tee myth. They can not allow someone in because their mustache is too long, because they had too much salt on their eggs, or because it is Tuesday. They graciously stated why they let the AP only into the normal press conference but denied special privileges. They did not have to give a reason.

They could have just said

Why does this board melt when they change a street name but applaud this? They are both filled with the same empty symbolism.


Or conversely, why does the left cheer when street names are changed but are crying over this?

Tons of streets, forts, etc. have had a name change. We change the name of one thing and suddenly name changes are an issue.

Trump owes the AP nothing.

They’ve taken money to publish propaganda, treated him in a hostile and non objective way and now they can reap the whirlwind.

Trump can ignore the WH press corps and invite select members to the Oval Office and no one would be able to say the legacy press wasn’t getting what they deserved.

I just reread the first amendment and it looks like you are correct.

quote:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances…
…oh and also, the AP must be granted full and unfettered access to whatever they want

Not protected in the Constitution. They know this, but will write lies to drum up anger from the dummies and give ammo to the intellectually dishonest.

i think most MSM outlets should get banned or in the least not acknowledged when they ask questions. They didn't complain or really acknowledge the lack of questions and press conferences Biden had, bc they were protecting him, so why should they be allowed to ask Trump questions AND still try to make him out to be Hitler and never give him credit for anything, frick them all.

I wonder if they called all the military bases by their original names so their audience could easily recognize where they were referencing?

I know you’re a troll but you’re really bad at it so I’m going to give you some advice.

Have a more meticulous point because you points are stupid, empty and very easily shut down. If you do this you will get better and possibly more responses.

If you’re going to troll, do better and take some damn pride in your trollness.

Bunch of pansy sissies in here. If he banned them for refusing to change the name of the gulf, then that is both petty and forcing language on the AP . I thought we didn't like it when the government forces language on us. You guys need to stop being pussies when someone doesn't agree with 100% of what Trump does. Quit getting your panties in a wad and grow a pair.
