How long till they really try to censor @wikipedia ?

The former #FoxNews - #Gigolo, now #Pentagon - #Gigolo, thinks he can flat-iron the #Truth to something , that fits for him. But there are thousands of fine #Networks, which will report about #America's #Blamage with this #War. He is so #narrowminded !

The #Interference of the #Kuklux #WhiteHouse with the free #American #Press and the steadfast #Right for #Information is very #unamerican and should lead to 4 or 5 Impeachments of the #President of the #United #States of #America !! Just saying... #Trump collects #Impeachments like others Candy...
