Our president thinks he's some kind of political strongman

[bigtree]

...when he's no more than a petty tyrant.

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!

...trampling all over our very first constitutional amendment like he's wiping mud off his feet.

1. He can't do anything else, but mindless hate filled commentary and goofy threats

None of which are his actual job he was elected to do.

[BootinUp]

2. He's either Moe, Curly, or Larry.

I haven't decided which.

4. Come on

Why insult three men, who had more intelligence in the tip of their little finger, then Trump has in his entire body???

[Kleveland]

7. That is an insult to the Stooges, who always arguably meant well.

He is more like the law firm Dewey, Cheatum & Howe.

I. Fleecum

12. I feel like we are stuck in one of their

Episodes. But I take your point.

[SHRED]

3. Can he unilaterally pull broadcast licenses?

[atreides1]

6. No!

Violation of the terms of a license (due to technical fault or illegal content) may result in fines or revocation of the license. Licenses have also been jeopardized by misrepresentation on the part of the holder or failure to keep a public file (in the U.S. and Canada).

The FCC is responsible for revoking broadcast licenses, and even they are constrained by the current government rules and regulations!

8. It's the FCC - chaired by Ajit Pai

[Kleveland]

9. Yeah, that gives me no comfort.

Ajit Pai is just another scumbag in a what could be construed as a very dangerous position of power.

Part of the propaganda ministry in my mind.

His activities so far are damaging our personal freedoms and privacy.

[bigtree]

13. I think he'd have to prove, in court, that their stories are false

...that would be a hoot.

[sellitman]

5. Time to pull his licence

Way past time

[mopinko]

10. he has officially crossed the threshold from fucking moron

to megalomaniac. or is it magalomaniac?

[bigtree]

11. magalomaniac

...perfect.
