While making the case, he used as evidence Washington DC Metro Rail ridership, large crowds waiting to get through security magnetometers and fences around the perimeter of the Mall, and white plastic grass protection mats used for the first time because of threat of rain, which made empty spaces more visible...
All claims later debunked...kinda setting himself up for lack of credibility next time he issues a statement that is easily checked...Thumpher has to find a more accomplished spokesliar, like most previous POTUS have used...
whatever happens, happens. but my biggest concern (I have posted similar thoughts a few times lately) when in power whether being done by Dem. party, Rep. party, Commie party, Labour party, Likud party and on and on...is when the leaders and henchmen methodically attack The Press.
I don't give a fuque whether the Press is friendly, fawning, mean or nasty. Attacking is an established pattern done by despots-in-training. If the attack works as planned, there will be more to fear over loss of freedoms than anything that has been complained about here in most of our lifetimes.
First go after the press? Troubling, no matter who does it.
It Can't Here was written in 1935.
