People who Trump doesn’t agree with are being fired. Networks who report on the war, for example, in ways that Trump doesn’t like, are told that they may lose their license.

During the online “Overtime” segment of Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that it has become toxic to support Israel among Democrats and Democrats who are starting to refuse AIPAC money are saying that “Israel is a monster country and it’s a dirty country and this is dirty money, and that gives permission to a lot of people who are actually antisemitic to say, well, you know what, if a Democratic senator won’t take their money, this must be a dirty country.” Maher read a viewer question on Democrats distancing themselves from AIPAC that asked, “Has…
