or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

2. Gawd damn right we are.....and how do we handle this shit???

3. They are trying to get ahead of something very bad that happened in the war

This isn't about supposedly fixable damage to five tankers. Everybody knows Iran is targeting Saudi airbases. This is about something else that has not been reported yet.

That's my guess anyway.

7. I think you're onto something. You know we aren't getting the full story as it is now.

It's how they operate, always massaging and manipulating the facts, hoping to bury anything unfavorable.

This president can't make a good decision or do the right thing -- no matter the circumstances. He is wired to fuck up. Every action he takes will make things worse. Until someone can get his hands off the steering wheel, the hurt will continue.

4. This threat is not just about reporting on the war.

This is also a threat about reporting on the Epstein Files and Trump's involvement with underage girls.

5. Yes, they're trying to control it.

8. The firehose of lies isn't working for them anymore. ...

It's a sign that they are going into panic mode that these threats are being made.* More proof that they're hiding something and their control of the narrative is slipping away. Hallelujah!
