    Normally I would say this against the 1st Amendment and will be easily shut down, but then again the SCROTUM SCOTUS did allow violations of the 14th amendment.

    During the first weeks of 1933, the Nazi regime deployed the radio, press, and newsreels to stoke fears (…)

    SA (Storm Troopers) and members of the Nazi elite paramilitary formation, the SS, took to the streets to brutalize or arrest political opponents and incarcerate them in hastily established detention centers and concentration camps. Nazi thugs broke into opposing political party offices, destroying printing presses and newspapers.

    “Yeah, we’re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that. Because what they’re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities, operations, and we’re going to actually go after them and prosecute with the partnership of Pam [Bondi] if we can, because what they are doing we believe is illegal.”

    Trump jumped in, “And they may very well be prosecuted also for having given false reports on the attack in Iran. They were given totally false reports. It was totally obliterated.

    What a couple of complete brain dead responses. It’s illegal to avoid law enforcement activities? Isn’t it also illegal to interfere with law enforcement activities?

    And Trump is claiming that CNN was given a false report on the Iran strike and that is also a crime?

    I’m not surprised these trash human beings are trying to spin things, but I’m surprised that people can’t see these absolutely glaring holes in their bullshit responses.

      Ah, you must not know any MAGAts. Their boundless capacity for cognitive dissonance is a fundamental trait.

    Trump jumped in, “And they may very well be prosecuted also for having given false reports on the attack in Iran. They were given totally false reports. It was totally obliterated. And our people have to be celebrated, not come home and say, “What do you mean we didn’t hit the target?” We hit the target quickly. You know, the pilots came home, they said we hit the target quickly. So they may very well be prosecuted for that. What they did there, we think, is totally illegal.”

    JFC… Trump saw somebody give a stupid answer and said “hold my beer”.
