    Are you making the case that this is an attack on the free press? I mean, the press is normally the outlet for whistleblowers, so I guess the case can be made.

    But it seems okay with Obama to use DoJ, FBI, and CIA to spy on the incoming president-elect. Apparently, that whole "rule of law" is only valid for the Left. At least, that seems to be what they believe.

    Alright, I'd never heard of that case. Can you at least bring yourself to say that Trump was no worse than
    Obama with the press? I'm guessing that would be EXTREMELY difficult for you to admit! So I shall not hold my breath!

    Do you think that Trump was mocking the reporter specifically FOR the reporter's disability?

    Are you saying that a political group doesn't even need to bother applying for tax exempt status because they will be denied?

    I think that was okay. As everybody knows now, Trump was an absolute failure. America better should have skipped the 4 years of Trump chaos.

    In a constitutional state, however, you can only fight dangers like Trump with legal means. Unfortunately, they weren't enough in this case.

    Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Information, Freedom of Speech .. further .. a person does not have to be employed by "The Press" to have freedom of the Press. .. its basically freedom to publish -

    Both - and they are one in the same really .. We are talking at the Top - not the average agent. The head of the FBI is a political appointee.

    That's not the only thing. He was bad in many ways.

    The worst thing is that he fooled his voters. He made them believe he's a true patriot who does everything for America. But the truth is, he did everything for Trump and Trump only.

    He even tried to overturn the election and incited his mob to raid the capitol. Trump is un-American to the maximum extend. :(

    A nice read: https://www.amazon.com/American-Fake-Patriotism-Donald-Trump/dp/1538129256

    I think Trump used the reporter's disability to mock him as Trump is a snowflake and doesn't like to be questioned, Trump only wants to be praised

    do you think it was ok for Trump to mock this reporter like this? is that Presidential in your mind?

    I am saying if being political disqualifies you for that tax status, prob be best not to name your group after something political, or it may get you more scrutiny

    if one wants to be political, sign up for a tax status that allows it
