Security beefed up at Globe's downtown headquarters after threats

...and the lemmings are following.

One thing to remember in all this is the great group of people who work the desk at 53 State. They are a really great security crew who are most of the time upbeat and always are professional.

They are the ones who have to be on enforced OT today, possibly missing a family dinner or game because of the musings of the collection of frass in corporeal form at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue today.

The Globe isn't on Morrissey Blvd. anymore?????

Daddy didn't tell me!!!!!

There's the basics like not letting CNN reporters even ask questions during the WH press briefing. There's purposeful obfuscation of facts and details. There was the attempt to end the WH press briefing outright. They're are the verbal attacks, that have led to physical attacks at some of his rallies. News organizations around the country have needed more security. Yes legally he has not, and cannot, silence the press, but he's doing everything else in his power to diminish and taint everything they stand for.

I think you are missing the point. Let us remove the words "Nazi" and "Soviet" style attacks and replace them with fascist-style attacks. You can google the definition of fascist and/or fascism at your leisure.

The fact is Little Donny has repeatedly attacked (bullied is a better word) through his tweet stylings, the mainstream news outlets, newspapers, magazines, journalists, you name it, anything that is not FOX news, as "fake". While we do not have brown shirted thugs marching down our streets, his words are meant to stir up the lowest common element of his base, many who are indeed thugs without the shirts. It is not hard to understand that Little Donny's attacks on said media outlets is a direct attack at our Constitution as well as being totally ignorant of the role that the freedom of the press served in our country's history. I see nothing wrong with those outlets, and now an unanimous vote by our Senate, basically telling Trump to shut his pie hole.

Despite your slanderous observations, he's the President, he'll be swearing in a new SC Justice (and many other appointments) and life goes on.
November will be an interesting month. There are races that could go either way.
I'm a lifelong Democrat. As Ronald Reagan (who used to be a democrat) said, "I didn't leave the party, the party left me."

I read an observation recently that went like this, "If President Kennedy was alive today, you'd hit him in the head with a bicycle lock."
