"This White House doesn't value an independent press," Tapper said. "There's a word for that line of thinking: The word is Un-American."


After the Trump White House banned media outlets that reported on its attempt to silence the FBI about its investigations into Trump’s Russia connections, CNN’s Jake Tapper had had enough.

get the 10,000 nukes away from the child in chief.

He acts, thinks, reads, comprehends like a 12 yr old child who has been scolded.

His followers are identical to him in regard to their level of maturity and intellect.

They are almost half the county, too. So they win, America is over, but those nukes...jesus christ

Several times. Sustained.

Trump isn't the only malignancy peddling this crap. He's got an army of fools doing his bidding.

One day, I bet they disassociate themselves from him as if he never existed.

But today, they're enablers of the most viperous nature.
