Europe stood up to Trump over Greenland—and he backed down. Appeasement emboldens bullies. Confrontation constrains them. There’s a lesson here for Europe and for America.

The DOJ will not investigate the murders of Americans on the street in broad daylight, but they will indict a journalist! Wake up America! This is fascism! This is everything the Constitution of the United States was meant to protect being dismantled in front of our eyes!

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
