Idiots.

Nobody is attacking the free press. Trump is only going after a-holes.

It’s like the Germans saying the Italians aren’t a part of the Axis Forces.

That resolution is knocking down a scarecrow. Nobody in the Trump administration is attacking freedom of speech or press — they’re just calling out the leftist bias of an increasingly concentrated media.

Are they seriously wasting their time on this?

Wow. Didn’t think I could have a lesser opinion of those pathetic, corrupt bunch of loser idiots.

And this is why we question the collective intelligence of the senate. President Trump never said they were the enemy of the people, he said the Fake News was the enemy of the people

Discernment is completely lacking in DC. They think an elephant and a mouse are exactly the same because they are both gray.

I’m beginning to think we need to get everyone out of DC and have someone perform an exorcism

The Senate: the highest paid bunch of essentially do-nothing bums on the entire planet.

Yea, where is TCruz to stand up for common sense? Maybe he’s home campaigning, for he could be defeated on Nov. 6 if he doesn’t get the base activated behind him again.

I find it truly amazing that one man has all the Senate and 99% of the journalists and newspapers scared of him....

“Most of the Senate is also an enemy of the People.”

Without a doubt...and I keep hearing that the Senate will never convict PJDT if the house impeaches. Morons all.

Yep. I will contact our Senators with a few examples of the lies and distortions being spewed by the MSM, and ask them to be sure to make public comments to correct the record in the future, when the MSM does this.

When they figure out the time of their office staff is being eaten up by all the time needed to refute the MSM, maybe they’ll get a clue about the widespread dishonesty we are subject to.

“What is the purpose of this other than to criticize President Trump? “

None. They unanimously voted for Hillary rotten Clinton, too.

Senate is just as dumb as the media. And their affirmation reflects that.

Criticism isn’t attack!!

Freedom of the press does not mean the press can be free from criticism
