Holy Shit: FCC chair REFUSES TO ANSWER IF PRESS IS AN ENEMY.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai on Wednesday dodged questions about whether he agrees with President Trump’s views of the media.

During an oversight hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee, Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) asked Pai if he shares Trump’s belief that the press is an “enemy of the American people.”

Pai responded by saying that he didn’t want to “wade into the larger political debates,” but that he believes “every American enjoys the First Amendment protections guaranteed by the Constitution.”[/b]

Trump has repeatedly gone after the press as "fake news" and called the media "the enemy of the American people."

They will do the maximum damage because

That is their actual stated goal.

What is interesting is do they realize when they destroy our institutions that this includes the fed, Wall Street, etc. That their wealth and power relies entirely on these institutions?

Bannon and Trump will be crying and whining and begging forgiveness before the first 24 hours are over after doing this. They cant be this fucking stupid, can they?
