Free press
Free press The U.S. democracy is based on a free press. Trump does not understand the role of the press. If politicians like the coverage, the press is not doing its job. They are supposed to report facts and opinions that the powerful do not like. That is the job. Trump is too egocentric and thin skinned to accept any criticism. He needs to grow up. The dossier may be false, but so what? Listing the issues will deny Russia the hold over Trump as the news is out. Mattis, Kelly and even Tillerson seem better than Trump and may calm his worst impulses. Good luck with that thankless task. Trump will need to exceed the very low expectations for this ignorant neophyte to avoid some major disasters. |

his dismissal of cnn was frightening to me. once you start down that road, you limit the ability fo the press to "check" the facts and the power of the autocrats. You cannot conceive the many without the one.

One president does not brand the U.S. forever as losing its democracy. We can survive and resist a tyrant in training. The courts, lawyers and the federal and state workers will restrain the worst impulses of Trump. California and New York will fight the drift, as will the Democrats in the US Senate. The crazier ideas of Trump will not happen. Many Republicans fear blowing up the healthcare system and getting damaged by the fallout. We will see in 2018 if Trump craters the GOP.

I am doing fine and find myself benefiting from Trump while I castigate him. The rich will get richer as the others suffer...
