    Sen. John McCain spoke out Saturday in defense of the free press after President Donald Trump lashed out against the news media several times over the past week, at one point declaring it "the enemy of the American People!"

    Such talk, McCain, R-Ariz., said on NBC News in an interview set to air Sunday, was "how dictators get started."

    McCain is an idiot.

    The press is definitely his enemy and ours. They have proven it time after time in the last year.

    they chose up sides in a presidential election and were made to look like fools. Now they are looking for redemption. Nothing they report about Trump can be trusted.

    Good point.

    None would be the correct answer. So much for McCain's idiotic statement and ITL's even dumber meme.

    I knew you would enjoy it so I posted it.

    It's undeniable that all four of these leaders used the phrase. I would hope with history as a guide that an American President would never use this phrase. Sadly, I must conclude it was intentional.

    Your conclusions are as suspect as those of the corrupt old media, and for the same reasons. Unbridled and illogical hatred.

    It is one thing to talk about dictators, another thing entirely to arm "moderates" all over the Middle East.

    McCain is worse than a flaming liberal. He is a turncoat, a do-nothing establishment has-been that is no friend of the people and is out of touch, whose only purpose seems to be to try to throw monkey wrenches into the gears which have finally been built to grind away his type of worthless establishment elitism ...

    More crying "Wolf!

    "Comedian Sarah Silverman is mocked by Twitter followers after confusing sidewalk construction markings for swastikas".

    • Silverman was on her way to get coffee when she thought she saw a pair of neon orange swastikas drawn on the sidewalk
    • The 46-year-old posted her find on Twitter
    • Her followers were quick to point out that the markings are used in construction to designate the location of pipes and wires underneath"

    For 8 years, the liberal media acted as the propaganda arm of the Obama administration. Now that Trump is president, they're engaged in endless hate speech against the president. Bravo for Trump for not groveling to the enemies, but rather calling them what they are.

    No, Senator McCain, that's NOT how dictator's get started. That's how politicians like you react when you don't get your way. Nothing's changed with you. You're the same old moderate Republican trying to score points with the left (aka, "We need to reach across the aisle", remember?).

    You need to resign.

    Hmmm, always thought Hitler lifted he term from that Ibsen play that Arthur Miller botched a century later, Hitler thought it was a blueprint for the rise of Nazism.

    As for McCain, well, this is McCain. Not calling on some CNN reporter is not a suppression of the press, neither is criticism of the press.

    Not to the treason level yet, in my opinion, but definitely trying to undermine the agenda of the president and doing it publicly in a foreign venue. Definitely kow class and in poor taste and may also be against the law.

    At least not officially, since Nixon and gave him a pardon from treason and collaboration with the enemy and his daddy was in charge of the reports which got buried. He and Jane Fonda sure made a good pair back in the day...
