Well, yeah. He's a thin-skinned bully who wants to be a dictator. Of course he hates reporters.

I'm bringing this up, and posting it here, so that I can point to the bloody thread everytime some klorbag complains about how divided this nation is, or the lack of civility in left-wing discourse, or say "well he's not THAT BAD". Because the alternative is normalizing this status quo. Comprende?

Side note: important words becoming buzzword dog-whistles really weakens our ability to have meaningful discourse.

Well, left-wingers can have buzzwords and dog-whistles too. Look at Sanders.

Well, I can't say I'm surprised it took him this long. Though I'm not that surprised that he eventually turned against SA. I doubt SA had won many points in conservative circles to begin with.

Re: Trump is pro violence against reporters
It always takes a couple of days for Mattis to shove the sycophants aside, get Trump in a room alone, and explain to him why he's being a damn idiot in a way that makes the orange fuckwit change his tune and pretend that Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. I guess we should be glad that Mattis is there to do that, but seriously, I'd rather have a halfway competent POTUS.
