Acosta and Sessions - please tell me this is NOT fascism/authoritarianism writ large

[jpak]

I'm waiting...

1. Well... It's authoritarianism writ small, which is bad, but

We took the House, so all is not lost. The next most important election of your lifetime is 2020. You didn't think this was a one-and-done deal did you?

2. We knew Sessions would be fired after the midterms

Presidents can fire cabinet members.

Acosta isn't so much fascism as really childish. Basically, he'd prefer to deal only with FAUX & BannonNews.

3. It's an overt attempt to silence their critics

We can only hope their are enough sane people in the media left to expose this for what it truly is.

4. Correct!

What it shows to other reportts is, If you go against me, this is what will happen to you.

[Docreed2003]

6. Exactly...

That's why we should push back now, otherwise actions like this will be accepted and ignored.

5. It is fascism

No question. They are looking to continue to make the abnormal normal. This is just the next small step that no patriotic German (I mean American) would object to. The real question is what and when the next steps will occur and whether people will take this creeping authoritarianism seriously.
