Rachel Maddow defends MSNBC for not airing Donald Trump's speech

As a long time independent democratic socialist I see the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization fading rapidly in "OUR democracy ". The likes of Rachel Maddow " protect " a feeble minded public ( ? ) from the superfluous lying of all capitalist politicians ? She and MSNBC set the gold standard for TRUTH in the mainstream news media ? I see the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party as a more immediate threat of fascism than the right wing populist Donald Trump and that always " deplorable " White Christian " working class ( of whom I include myself -minus " evangelical " ) . What does it say about the social base of the mainstream media if it is profoundly alienated from the Christian FAITH ?

Judge threatens to throw Trump out of courtroom

This shyster judge , Lewis Kaplan, was the legal champion for some Big Tobacco court room cases - if I read this report correctly . An honest fella ? No sane legal system would allow anybody to become filthy rich over real or imagined defamation . The LOSS OF PROFIT will not even be considered in a democratic socialist society - which will also CANCEL all lottery winnings .
