And in Vladimir Putin's Russia it is.In any totalitarian society it is, but not where you've got the First Amendment. Um, you know, I love Jimmy Kimmel. I love Bruce Springsteen.Donald Trump hates them. We each have uh the ability to go see what we want to see and watch what we want to watch. But when he uses the power of the government to tr ...
