can one really rant AND rave? doesnt one rant if one raves???
We must be precise as well as concise
Economy in word usage is admired if its correct.
Wasn't Trump raving about himself and his "unquestionable" success and ranting about everyone and everything else?
Here's one of his recent "successes": Signing a bill eliminating a "job killing" regulation that blocked coal mining debris from being dumped into nearby streams.

@Olivier5,
I think Blatham has most of those who don't agree with him on ignore. He doesn't seem to respond to anyone but those who enter the echo chamber.
The DNC is not a govt agency, they are a private group, so no way for treason to apply.

“Obama has laid all the groundwork Trump needs for an unprecedented crackdown on the press,” said Trevor Timm, executive director of the nonprofit Freedom of the Press Foundation.
He got that right. "Unprecedented crackdown on the press" comin up, sho nuff. CNN journalists are starting to flee en masse, in what will be an unsuccessful attempt to avoid prosecution. And they can't just go to some other like-minded criminal organization--they will all be shut down, too. They will head for Canada, the world's biggest sanctuary for criminals, but they'll never make it.
The day of the unrestrained cheese-eater is over. They're a dying breed.

The entire population of the US, or at least a good portion of it has "done been played".
You are aware that the press is protected in its job by the US constitution. You are familiar with that document, aren't you?
The Press certainly has the protection under the Constitution too freely report as they see fit. Hence the term yellow journalism. If I were president I wouldn't allow any reporters access to press briefings who demonstrate a proclivity for lies and fake news, political opinion when they should be only reporting the facts instead of left-wing political agendas. And if they have questions they can submit those questions by email and if as president I found them unworthy of response they wouldn't get any. That's not restricting their right to report, they are still free to do so. It's time somebody took a stand against a clearly biased and slanted mainstream media. Restricting or violating their constitutional right would be sending in troops to confiscate their printing press or there broadcast station.

White House Considering Mobilizing National Guard To Round Up Unauthorized Immigrants: Report
Huffington Post - 1 hour ago
President Donald Trump's administration is considering mobilizing as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants, according to a draft copy of an order obtained by The Associated Press.
what scares me most about der Herr, is his attempts at undermining every basis of trust that we Americans are used to. Qe are falling for the Joe Goebels crap that asserted
"If you repeat a lie often enough and with enough passion, it soon becomes a FACT"
Trump hqs got that from the Reich cookbook's chief chef.
So I guess that make the MSM a bunch of jack-booted storm troopers.

So what's so bad about traditional politics? All I see since the beginning of the 20th Century is waves and waves of immigrants who come to America, most of them with no papers except their birth certificate, and in a couple of generations they are middle class people and fully accepted into society. Traditional politics was a big part of that.
Traditional politics also stopped the relegation of black people to second class status. The guy behind Trump's attacks on Traditional Politics is Steve Bannon, who ran a pro-Russian website. I'll take American Traditional Politics over Russian politics any day of the week.
Here is a perfect example of Russian politics-how they handle dissenters and demonstrators:
