Is ANYONE Concerned About Trump Threatening The FIRST AMENDMENT????

First, the NFL or NBA (if they choose) Players Right of Express Their Speech During The National Anthem. Cheeto Turns An Issue of Free Speech And Protesting Police Brutality To The Players Are Against The Flag.

EVEN IF THEY WERE --- WHICH THEY ARE NOT -- The Action Itself Is FREE SPEECH as well as burning the flag is protected speech.

Next, the Idiot Child In The White House Is Now Threatening NBC's Broadcasting License. KID YOU NOT. Here's The Tweet:

He's Stating he would prefer to remove a News Station off the air. The License Issue is BS. The thought/tweet itself is the concern. Get it?

It's no surprise that he thinks he is a dictator.

Yes, he is a monumentally stupid person, and this one goes on the big pile of stupid things he's said.

thanks for clarifying.

I have some friends who tried to stop the renewal of a Sinclair TV station about a decade ago - something that could be done once upon a time. Their claim was lack of local coverage and distorted news. In these days of the post card renewal form they did even get to first base.

And that's all he's doing (is shit-talking) because he doesn't control NBC's licensing nor does he control the NFL rules.

Now if he issues some sort of executive order or something trying ro regulate those things... then maybe you've got a 1st Amendment case.
