"I believe that CNN and MSNBC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me,

are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they are really corrupt and they are illegal. What they do is illegal."

Waaa... Waaa. The embarrassingly childish tone and vocabulary make it obvious who said this of course. No identification necessary.

But this wasn't on FAUX whining to Sean Hannity. It was an official speech at the Department of Justice.

Unfortunately, this crap is actually cowing the white house "press" corps as we speak.

And it's absolutely insane that Trump thinks he's just president of Fox News viewers. Like what the fuck. He's really crossing some lines that shouldn't be crossed.

How anyone views him as strong and manly is beyond my comprehension.

You will never see a bigger, useless, fucking crybaby.

Everything in the world was handed to that piece of shit.

He got away with all his crimes for decades.

Re-elected as president.

And still he whines.

They barely "write" anything, FFS. Such a fucking dolt.

If they're illegal, have your weaponized DOJ arrest them. For what? Libel?

In addition to trying to ban his former law firm, trump called out Marc

Trump name-checks Marc Elias and says he tried to turn American into a communist nation (big, if true)

Norm Eisen made this list

Trump at the DOJ: "There's a guy named Norm Eisen. I don't even know what he looks like. His name is Norm Eisen of CREW. He's been after me for 9 years. Now CREW is a charitable organization. These are bad people ... they're scum."

It works on his base, it works on a lot of the media and gets mgmt pressuring journalists and hiring more right-wing scum. It always worked.

Maybe our politicians should have whined about the media more. Or maybe building a huge propaganda network would have been useful.

Dems play by the rules, don't complain, and get nothing out of it. No credit for being adults at all. In fact, it works against them.
