More WaPo Fake News

The Sedition Act, fortunately for all of us certainly including TJ, was inoperative at the end of WWI, and repealed in 1920. Opinion is it would be considered unconstitutional today.

It is the sort of thing fascists would look back on with longing, though, per TJ's wikipedia link:

It forbade the use of "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about the United States government, its flag, or its armed forces or that caused others to view the American government or its institutions with contempt.

I hope TJ's right, that nothing but more bad talk from Trump is in the offing.

I hate to have to keep hoping things like that. Seems to indicate something is really wrong.

In times of war when the nation is under dire threat what was unconstitutional can indeed become constitutional. It happened during the Civil War, WWI and WWII. Perception is everything in matters like this.

True observation, however one may view the claimed justification.

It's sort of like the reason I'm less worried than I might be about the claim that the IC so-called 'Deep State' is cooking up extra-constitutional action against Trump.

Of course that's all that will happen to them.

The MSM is safe under the protective wing of the ruling class and the Deep State that is using them as a tool to orchestrate a bloodless coup of a democratically elected President. That's what I am concerned about and it seems you should be too as that is fascist.

So are strikeouts.

I agree with your assessment and Trump may indeed become the first President to be impeach and convicted.

Haven't you heard of American Facism?

If that comes about I would not expect the Trump voters to take it lying down.
