What will the press do without Trump?
By Bill Grueskin
November 12, 2020
 

In November 1962, the not-yet-infamous Richard Nixon famously gave what he claimed would be his last press conference, right after losing a gubernatorial race in California (and two years after losing a presidential bid to John Kennedy). This is what he told reporters:

“As I leave you, I want you to know—just think how much you’re going to be missing. You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.”

As we know, that wasn’t his last press conference, and reporters did have Nixon to kick around after 1962: a narrow presidential win in 1968, a massive victory in 1972, and then in 1974, a resignation in disgrace.

They will make it their life's work to target and destroy ANYONE on the right under the totalitarianist regime of Kumala Harris.  The 1st Amendment will be the first they destroy... and then they'll start working on destroying the 2nd.

My thoughts on what I hope happens to the MSM, probably can't be posted on a public forum.

One thing they're not bright enough to realize... and haven't figured out yet.....

Rumor has it that Trump may start his own news source.  A few years back Glenn Beck started "Mercury One", the Blaze TV, and has his own website.  I'm hoping that Carlson, Levin and Hannity will join him.  O'Reilly is already a regular guest on his radio talk show.  I don't know what will happen to the EIB networks once Limbaugh passes.

I doubt conservative websites will survive -- perhaps it will be prudent in the near future to share e-mail addresses of those in this forum who are willing to give out their personal e-mail so that we can all stay in touch? 

Again, the only solution that I see that conservatives have is to let the GOP crumble and start a viable conservative opposition party. Members would probably be under assault --- "underground" and forming the party quietly will be essential.  From experience it is very difficult to gather "underground" and expand membership.  It is very difficult to ensure "trust" of individuals.

As for the 2A I am sure most of us will NOT surrender that right.  Probably they will try confiscation -- through our own military?? Or with the help of UN troops.  If I recall Obammy signed without the consent of Congress the "Small Arms Treaty" -- so it is a distinct possibility that they will be involved.

With Big Tech supression, it will be a tall order for it to get any traction in this day and age.
