Rugian Member	Tue Aug 07 17:11:27 Executive Order—Arrest and Imprisonment of Irresponsible Newspaper Reporters and Editors May 18, 1864 Major-General John A. Drx, Commanding at New York: Whereas there has been wickedly and traitorously printed and published this morning in the New York World and New York Journal of Commerce, newspapers printed and published in the city of New York, a false and spurious proclamation purporting to be signed by the President and to be countersigned by the Secretary of State, which publication is of a treasonable nature, designed to give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States and to the rebels now at war against the Government and their aiders and abettors, you are therefore hereby commanded forthwith to arrest and imprison in any fort or military prison in your command the editors, proprietors, and publishers of the aforesaid newspapers, and all such persons as, after public notice has been given of the falsehood of said publication, print and publish the same with intent to give aid and comfort to the enemy; and you will hold the persons so arrested in close custody until they can be brought to trial before a military commission for their offense. You will also take possession by military force of the printing establishments of the New York World and Journal of Commerce, and hold the same until further orders, and prohibit any further publication therefrom. A. LINCOLN. ---- Do it, Mr. President. Become our second Lincoln (who you are already more popular than, btw). Dispatch these traitors once and for all. #InfowarsShallBeAvenged
murder Member	Tue Aug 07 17:16:02 The same people that were outraged at Obama governing by executive order, think the Constitution shouldn't apply to Donald Trump. I'm sure that everyone is surprised.
Rugian Member	Tue Aug 07 17:19:17 Trump isn't a Muslim.
murder Member	Tue Aug 07 17:28:58 No, Trump is a disgusting retard.
Forwyn Member	Tue Aug 07 21:27:16 "Muslim" "disgusting retard" Why are you repeating what he said?
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Aug 07 21:41:47 are we going to stop finding it funny yet that this imbecile child is destroying the country?
Rugian Member	Tue Aug 07 21:44:00 *destroying the corrupt media establishment FTFY. For the record, we're just looking for a few good waterboardings of Jim Acosta until he learns how to not be such a drama queen at press briefings. Nothing of value is being lost.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Aug 08 00:22:15 you realize that 43% think Fox & Friends & Hannity are quality news programs, right? those are the shows their idiot hero promotes as real news
Pillz Member	Wed Aug 08 01:51:54 It's depressing but even hot rod is more informed than 90% of minorities.
Pillz Member	Wed Aug 08 01:52:21 Meaning democratic voters, ofc
Hot Rod Revved Up	Wed Aug 08 02:17:48 I'm on the verge of saying, why not. facebook and friends are rewriting their algorithms to take away 40% to 50% of Conservative volumes.
Cold Rod Member	Wed Aug 08 03:37:11 "It's depressing but even hot rod is more informed than 90% of minorities." Well this means obviously you don't pay attention to what hot rod posts and attempts to discuss. Because if you did....this wouldn't have been uttered but you.
hood Member	Wed Aug 08 07:55:29 "It's depressing but even hot rod is more informed than 90% of minorities." I guess if you remove a requirement to have accurate information, hot rod is "more informed". But then again, retards don't exactly push standards of accuracy so I'm unsurprised by this opinion of yours.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Aug 08 11:08:17 people attending Trump rallies probably receive more false information than any rally attender of any politician in history
