    Ironically enough, I'm reading Moby Dick. (Hitler is on the cusp of heading into Austria) I find far more similarities with how Maury Povich does business than anything Dave Grohl is doing. Frankly it's not even close.

    I know that doesn't fit your narrative, but it's true.

    Except for the small, annoying detail that Hitler killed millions of people while conducting his business, and Trump killed no one. I know that doesn't fit your narrative, but it's true.
    Is that all you know about Hitler? Do you know fascism is? Do you understand the systematic oppression of idea-exchange. You strike me as someone who would pretend to care about the first amendment so I'd hope so.

    Who is suppressing idea exchange? I hate anyone who tries to suppress free speech. That's why I fucking hate the left so strongly.

    You like your presidents to tell private businesses what to do and tweet arguments telling the media what they can and can't report on.

    Ok, so Trump wants his secret intelligence agency... literally what this thread is about... doesn't like having people reporting independent of him.

    Here is a short list of the ways he derides and calls for reduction of free speech from a few months ago to start...

    He can tell them these things and tweet all he wants to. It's not the same as a law forcing them to do what he wants them to do. HTH.

    If you want to talk about supression of free speech, you need look no further than California, which criminalizes certain speech now with fines or jail time. Just like Canada. The left did that.

    It's almost like you have no idea what you are talking about.
