Wow I really cannot believe that happened. I really don't know what the administration is thinking sometimes but when in doubt I think about il Principe (Macchiaveli, The Prince) and The Art of War (Sun Tzu) and realize to Trump loyalty to him is most important. I am having a hard time dealing with all the emboldened Republican Senators and Congressmen however and how they act like they can lord over the citizenry. I think we need to remind them in 2018 and 2020 that we are keeping track of what they are doing, what they are saying and who they are working for because far too often these are career politicians who are all about themselves and will sacrifice people to get ahead in government. But where I draw the line personally is when rights are not upheld. No journalist should ever be arrested, period. Free speech should be protected at all costs because that is the most fundamental of all rights. Without the ability to express your beliefs than you have no way of holding anyone accountable or demanding action from your elected representatives. I think the best think we as Americans can do is next two election cycles do not keep in the old guard. If you will only vote R than primary hard to get new blood in there. We need to get a lot of these overzealous overpowerful 30+ year politicians out because their business and lobbyist connections run too deep that we will never be able to influence the way they vote. They will always do what is best for them. And ai suppose that includes jailing people for asking a question about healthcare in 2017 USA. That can and should not stand. They should be charged with false imprisonment and be held acccountable. People need to demand resignations and stop allowing this corruption to continue. And our leaders need to stop acting like spoiled kids who are the teachers pet or we could end up in a very Dictatorial Republic if we are not careful and aware. With so many distractions in life it's important not to forget that the Bill of Rights is not given to us by the government but are inalienable rights given to us by our Creator, God, and the government is merely here to ensure those rights are never infringed. #nomorepatriotact

W.Va Reporter arrested for simply questioning Tom Price about American Health Care Act
Agree 100%
We must pay close attention in 2018 and vote for everyone that respects these values. Do not just take their word for it, look at their track record as far back as you can. We need to take this process into our own hands and be involved more than ever as a collective. I think we might see some of that type of thing, 2018 is at least a chance to get some honorable people in there..whatever of them are left in this awful political landscape. I do hope they are sued for false arrest and imprisonment. This man had to wait in a holding area until his bail was set. That could have taken 12+ hours. With all that being said, the internet is our greatest asset to protecting our freedom as it is how we can get together and discuss these issues. With the looming FCC changes, we need to do everything we can to stop them. It is one small step toward completely shutting out the voice of freedom that is the internet. First the media, then the journalists, then comes the internet on the hit list and last abolition of free speech as we know it. We must protect our internet.
