    Partly. But when bookers call the White House and get the answer, "here's who we got," they never say no. John McCain and Bernie Sanders are on the Sunday shows so often because they always say yes when the bookers call.

    No, they have parents' garages to store stuff. It's not that members of that generation don't want things, they just move around too much to have set storage space for stuff. My son's moving from Boston to New York. The armoire he bought for cheap at a garage sale must wait next to the lawnmower until he has a fixed address.

    You expected a reasonable discussion of issues from a representative of this White House? All Miller wanted was the same free blow job they get from Faux.

    I wouldn't ask Miller for the time of day.
    None of these people, Conway, Lewandowski and Scaramucci included, should be granted equal platforms after their records of habitual lying.
    You interview a clown you're going to get a clown interview. Everybody here knows that.

    Miller is particularly slimy.

    I find Miller fascinating. He's like a combination of the Will Patton character in No Way Out and Veep's Gary Walsh.

    When it was allowable that your children were exemptions on your taxes you had to wait until they were born. Those rules existed under Reagan and both Bushes, that’s 20 years of republican rule and yet they never recognized a person until born. People aren’t alive until they are born. Can’t get a social security until birth. No state has passed a law calling abortion murder. No mother has been prosecuted for murdering her baby. Bet you think it’s a death penalty offense.

    And just in case you haven’t heard, abortion is none of your fucking business. Not your body, not your fetus
    , not your baby. So if it bothers you, offends your bullshit moral compass, millions of babies are murdered every year and you haven’t done shit about it.

    Until you give a shit about post birth children your opinion on abortion is just evidence of your incredible ignorance, stupidity and hatred.

    You guys are funny. Claiming Trump is "shitting on the First Amendment" because he sent a cease and desist letter, or because he mocks the #FakeNews put out by the media.

    Hillary Clinton literally wanted to nominate a SCOTUS Justice who would reverse a First Amendment ruling she didn't like, because someone made a movie about her that she didn't like.

    And, the Obama Justice Department argued, in a losing cause, that the government should be able to ban books.

    Hillary Clinton endorsed a constitutional amendment today to reverse the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. FEC. Clinton said that the Citizens United ruling should be reversed “once and for all, even if it takes a constitutional amendment,” according to MSNBC’s Ari Melber.

    In Citizens United, the Court ruled that the First Amendment protects unlimited independent political expenditures by nonprofit groups. The case famously arose when Citizens United, a conservative nonprofit corporation that produces documentaries, made a movie attacking Clinton and released advertisements promoting the movie during her presidential campaign in 2008. A federal court ruled that the regnant campaign laws banned the airing of those ads and the movie in the 30 days prior to the Democratic primaries.

    When the Supreme Court heard the case in 2009, President Obama’s attorneys argued that the ban was constitutional — even going to far as to say that the government could ban certain books that were to be published close to an election.

    “Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. asked, for instance, whether a campaign biography in book form could be banned,” the New York Times reported at the time. “[The government's lawyer] said yes, so long as it was paid for with a corporation’s general treasury money, as opposed to its political action committee.”

    Instead, the court ruled that the government cannot deprive people of the right to engage in political speech simply because they have formed a corporation.


    Hillary Says We Should Rewrite the First Amendment, If That's What It Takes to Reverse Citizens United

    Or you can think Hillary and Obama made mistakes in that regard, but that Trump is a doddering old moron who wants to change 1A so people can’t say truthful things about him.
