    A cartoonist, Rob Rogers, was fired by a pro-Trump newspaper whose editor boasted about flying on a private jet with Trump.

    The press is slowly being suborned to Trump as exemplified by the recent Sinclair press management following Trump's doctrines.

    The freedom of the press is vital to American democracy.

    Enraged that some editor didn't publish a certain set of cartoons, and published the cartoonist after a spat?

    ...who cares?

    Yeah, we're doomed. Be glad you're all the way over there, because we're about two years away from gulags.

    Get real people. A cartoonist was fired. The media is still free, and still predominately anti-Trump. Certainly more inclined to be critical of Trump than they were of Obama.

    Rob Rogers needn't worry, all he needs to do is step up the Trump bashing and one of the MSM outlets will quickly pick him up.

    LOL! Good one! :shocked: CNN, MSNBC, NYT, ABC, CBS, WSJ, WaPo, etc would beg to differ! I mean, surely you can't be serious?

    Vietnam wasn't about being "overly compassionate," it was about facing down the Soviet threat.

    It was a mixed affair.

    Saving people from dictators is a nice bonus.

    We were in it to stop the Soviets.

    Who knows? It's no doubt that American willingness to bleed over something so distant and inconsequential as Vietnam shaded Soviet planning.

    Lee Kuan Yew believed that the Americans had saved Southeast Asia. I think he's wrong, but what-ifs are hard to analyze.
