Borrowing a page? The Rats have gotten hold of the entire CCP playbook and they are going to jam it down the throats of every American.

The people in the brown shirts and jackboots in 1930s Germany are exactly the same kind of people who today are participating in and backing "mostly peaceful" protests and oppression of any opposition. You want to know how the German people could've been so stupid, so short sighted as to let that happen to them? Look around, we are seeing it play out again, wide screen and high-def right here, right now.

The people doing this(denial of press credentials for Epoch Times) should be immediately prosecuted but I fear the ones who could prosecute this are the very same bunch who are causing the problem.
Adding insult to injury is the fact that the Senate Daily Press Gallery credentials the People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.
