I think I'm right on this, but FCC doesn't have the same power over CNN, MSNBC, podcasters, etc. So communications

aren't as likely to be shutdown. I'm sure trump admin will apply pressure and make threats, but they don't have the "We can do this the hard way" leverage.

As to 2016, if you cut through Comey, trump lies, emails, etc., we still would have won if Democrats didn't sabotage Clinton. They friggin gave us trump.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
