Trump calls for prison rape for journalists who won't give up their 1st Amendment rights.

[pknopp]

So he calls for imprisoning people who simply won't reveal their sources and suggests prison rapes may change their mind.

There is something dangerously wrong with this guy.

It's incredibly sad that people cheered this

Crowd Cheers and Laughs When Trump Threatens Journalists With Prison Rape

 

[basquebromance]

he was joking. kind of a weird joke though for a person in power to make. i don't like such bullying antics

 

[Anathema]

Trump is nicer than I am. I’d call for their execution. If you are going to to that end, your sources need to be clear and plain.report something as NEWS, it needs to be able to be corroborated by others. Your sources are a necessary part of thst corroboration.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Trump is too kind. Televised so we may all enjoy the guilty enjoying their circumstances.

There is NOTHING funny about what he said. Nothing. Joking about rape is never, ever funny.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Most of the time, there are no sources. The fake news story was fabricated.

What other Constitutional rights do you want to execute people over?

Quite a few. Then again I don’t really believe in Rights as much as I believe in Privileges.

Like Trump did with his claims of election fraud?

There is no constitutional right for reporters to conceal their sources. It's a practice that reporters have developed on their own, promising to go to jail to protect their sources. I can admire that, but they should be sent to jail for contempt when they refuse. The protections guaranteed to a free press are predicated on the press being independent and objective. That's not even usual anymore.

Privileges are a construct of government. Where rights are endowed by our creator. And are inalienable.

Interesting concept. Do you similarly believe that police have no right to conceal their sources either?

We do not have any sort of free press if they can go to jail for reporting what they have learned.

I’ve never been a supporter of Trump’s election denial claims.

Privileges are a construct of government. Where rights are endowed by our creator. And are inalienable.

Agreed. We believe in different Gods. Yours apparently gives a shit about people. Mine does not.

You've got absolutely no capacity for humor, do you?

Nice to see that you're so frightened of him, and that he consumes your thoughts...

Flashback to something similar: "When Trump tried to threaten Richard Ravitch of [Urban Development Corp], telling him, “If you don’t give me the tax abatement, I’m gonna have you fired,” Ravitch ordered him to get “out of here before I count to three or I’m going to have you arrested."

with the aid of Roy Cohn, in December 1973, Trump countersued the federal government for 100 million dollars
