What accounts for phrasing like this?
If any other president in modern times had signed an executive order libelling a DC law firm as an enemy of the state, the headlines would be about how he’s a fucking lunatic, the courts were sure to slap him down, and his cabinet was reacting with horror.

President Donald Trump targeted another elite law firm that has represented clients he considers his political enemies, sending a forceful message that he is willing to punish firms who work for people or groups that oppose his administration’s agenda.

Does this mean they can't appear in court?
Such a sad state that Felon Trump is a weak, pathetic loser. Targeting a single firm. That will lower prices….
They're trying to report the truth, but make it so bland sounding that he and his allies don't target them.
He's not a president, he's a dictator, all these things you're outraged aren't happening aren't happening, because the United States is no longer a constitutional democracy.
Failure to keep up with reality is not going to go well, for those who fail to.
Creepy bald millionaire with a private island, a rocket shaped like a dick, and a hard-on for James Bond.
If you see something they publish, look up alternate sources in a search. @theguardian.com @us.theguardian.com likely has something.
I’m astonished by his inability to understand that these are private entities.
There’s also a lot of entities that will TAKE their business to these firms bc they stand up to him.
His fundamental #miscomprehension of the #ruleoflaw
Capitulation to fascism is what accounts for it.
Trump will destroy the law
Trump is busy to destroy America at a lightning speed
Wake up and fight for your own survival 🤷🏻♀️
But Nixon did sign it.
Imagine Trump as president during the term of any past president, and he'd do a worse job.
What a f&cking joke. Wish I could cancel #WaPo a second time. 🤨

Since it's happening in a Russian client state, no consequences at all will ensue.
Pure authoritarianism.
I'm assuming that's rhetorical.
To my US friends: Do you really accept someone like this dangerous clown or shouldn't you go out in the streets and let this crime organization, aka administration, know what you think of it?
We will see when the Americans wake up from their shock and start to stop the tyrant...
Or shilling for the FOTUS.
Bezos likes being in business.

What are the excuses of these media’s, judges.. etc? They are not all owned by billionaires friends. Sorry, I needed to scream…
They would have zero trouble calling this what it is if it happened in a different country.
This sounds a bit like those similarly suppressive “anti-BDS” laws many US states cooked up a few years back.
why do you hate messages, pup?
He’s sitting in the Oval Office.
Nothing close to normal fits with the First Criminal.
No one questioned his election at all.
I honestly feel that a large part of Democrat messaging problems are them "how the f*** do you deal with the news media when they're like this?"
I don't have answers
Trump sees himself as a dictator
He believes he has the power to do anything he wants and that existing laws don't apply to him
I'm concerned about him declaring Martial law
Under martial law military takes control and can establish/enforce their own (ie Trump's) laws
AKA - #Blackmail
Trump does something nuts. And then the immediate reaction is “Why doesn’t the media say anything? Why don’t the courts do anything?”
Meanwhile, Democrats continue with their “if only we moved to the right on trans issues” navel-gazing.
Let me know how that strategy works out.
So why don't you tell me how ignoring how the media reports things is a good idea when trying to pursuade more of the public to turn against Trump.
Reporters are not supposed to interject their opinions into a straight news story.
Show me a quote from a Democrat denouncing Trump’s attack on a law firm that WaPo refused to report.
There's a reason I replied to the post reorienting away from the media narrative.
They came for the DOJ, the FBI, and the IGs, and I did not speak out—because I wasn’t one of them.
Then they came for Covington & Burling, and I did not speak out...
Then they came for Perkins Coie, and I did not speak out…
And that always works out A-OK, right?
