I'm out of here as work looms. I will leave FR with this last one from the "others".

If Trump does not retweet that by morning I will be sorely disappointed. When you have them on the ropes keep punching.

It’s a matter, a very blatant matter, of CNN actively threatening to curtail someone else’s free speech. And you know that full well.

Find another forum. You’re woefully inadequate here.

I hope he does and maybe CNN will out JimRob.

Threaten to expose him. I want a free trip to Costa Rica if they do.

Good Night

Breitbart has a different take on CNN’s behavior. They call it blackmail. And this article reveals a hornet’s nest of angry reaction. It shows tweets from Stephen Miller, Jullian Assange, and Philip DeFranco. Tomorrow morning will show the aftermath more clearly. Here is the Breitbart story:

“If, say, someone hacked FR and all the identities of the users here and their nicknames were made public, you’d be okay with that?”

‘Hacking a website is a crime.’

Cool, it won’t happen then. /sarc

I cannot sleep.

Even though Ted Turner doesn’t own the network what dies he think? Especially if CNN signs off for good.

I cannot wait until tomorrow. Too much anticipation.

Wonder how other media outlets will play this.

Too many thoughts running in my head.

I cannot see how CNN survives this. They probably will.
