The president snapped after watching a TV show he didn’t like and said CBS should lose its license.
Donald Trump on Sunday called for “maximum fines and punishment” against CBS and its corporate parent, Paramount, over Sunday night’s “60 Minutes” broadcast.
In two separate posts on his Truth Social website, Trump complained about the show’s interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris last year ― which he is suing the company over ― and railed against Sunday night’s reports on Greenland and the war in Ukraine.
Trump: 60 Minutes is all lies and hate!
Faux News: Yeah, that’s our thing!
His tweets read like Donald Trump putting his own words into an LLM that edits text to sound like Donald Trump. Like he typed his normal nonsense into ChatGPT and said “make it sound smart but still like Donald Trump.”
Endless reports of Trump melting down. Nothing about real news or change.
So sick of seeing that cheetoh-face dim-wit puppet. Dreaming of times when we never see it again.
What could this guy do that could be illegal and punishable? What?
“Truth, Justice and the American Way!” Changed to “Money, Easy Money and Stolen Money…but only for all my friends!”.
Free means all. Rise or fall.
Blatant threats of government retaliation against private citizens.
Clear violation of the First Amendment.
And nothing will happen.
Fuck Trump.
Well, technically the first amendment only affects Congress. Should be a slam dunk case for Trump with this Supreme Court.
I feel like something you said is inaccurate. I feel like the Bill of Rights protects all people from all branches of the government.
Here is the text for your own interpretation:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Damn, the Framers were really confident we wouldn’t bork up this badly, weren’t they?
They were pretty optimistic, I’d say.
The more I read through the Federalist Papers and others, I am forced to agree. A lot of ideology, not a lot of logical follow-through.
“This is why we can’t elect women to power! They are too emotionally unstable and we’ll be in WW3 within a month!”
-Sexist chuds
Yeah, about that…
That’s because, for some reason, people don’t treat anger like an emotion
*male anger. Angry women are still emotional and hysterical.
Or rather they consider anger to be an emotion of strength, rather than one of fear
Yep, thank God A WOMAN doesn’t have the nuclear codes. Just imagine how scary that would be.
Hitler was notorious for his temper tantrums. He is confirmed to have watched Charlie Chaplin’s iconic 1940 film ‘Thr Great Dictator’ but never said or wrote what he thought of it. Charlie Chaplin said that he would have given anything to know what he thought of it.
Trump is born almost exactly 1 year later after hitlers death coincidence? Reincarnation baby, no quick saves.
Something must have happened in the process though, at least Hitler was halfway competent.
The allied forces explicitly decided not to try assassinating Hitler. They were worried someone more competent would take his place.
Not really, he wasn’t. The myth of Nazi/fascist competence comes from a combination of propaganda and “right time, right place” in terms of when they took the reins of the German economy. A kind of funny example that isn’t Nazis, but their contemporary fascists, Mussolini’s Italian regime damaged the on-time performance of trains in Italy, but the regime kept saying the trains were running on time to the point where it’s become a whole saying about excusing fascism because of its competence/results (“at least the trains run on time”).
Oh, so it’s like “at least eggs are cheaper”? Neat
Straight up, the dude has been the beneficiary of the most dick-riding post-humous propaganda ever, second maybe only to Robert E. Lee or Jeff Davis.
Well when you respond missing half your brain
The CIA must have operation paper clipped Hitler’s soul.
Maybe they just showed him the same cut as in Iron Sky (2012). It would be amazin if that joke was that deep.
Does anyone else remember when “senile old man yells at the TV” wasn’t relevant political news*? I do. Can we please go back to those times?
Oh, pre-2016, how I miss you.
(It’s relevant because he has toadies in place to enforce his insane whims).
I remember when hearing from the president was special and they would prepare a statement or speech. It made news because it was important and rare.
Now it’s a multiple times a day occurrence of verbal diarrhea.
“But his tan suit!!!1”
She wore a tan suit too
When people stop electing them into positions of massive power then yes, we can stop talking about them.
Except trump admitted the election was rigged.
Yeah, quit with the “fair & square” bullshit, it was rigged and we ALL know it.
We need to protect these 60 minutes people. They’re very brave and patriotic. We owe them protection for their service to America right now
I hate this man so much.
“Man”? “Ogre”, or “Demon” or “Beast” or “AntiChrist” or many other epithets for evil beings are far more appropriate to refer to HitlerBeast.
Nice, Ive been calling him HitlerPig, ever since I read that was the favored name by younger staffers in the Biden White House. I found it simulateously vicious, hilarious, and accurate, so it’s become my go-to name in print.
Softest President of all time. Like wet paper.
He’s 10 ply. Soft AF.
I’d call him President Wetwipe, but those are actually useful.
and wet wipes don’t dissolve
They can both clog a toilet.
Or build up in the sewer with shit and grease. President Fatberg.
He’s as strong and resilient as a fart in the wind!
Fun Fact:
In British English, “Trump” means the same as “fart” (and has done for over 100 years):“(intransitive) British slang to expel intestinal gas through the anus” Collins English Dictionary
“to release gas from the bowels through the bottom”
Cambridge English Dictionary“slang or colloquial. The act of breaking wind audibly”
Oxford English DictionaryThat time Taskmaster was trying to figure out who’d done a little trump on camera upon seeing a taxidermy chicken
I’d not seen that outtake! Thank you, it was hilarious :)
President Shart.
Wait! Lemme take a pictu- awwww… It’s gone…
He’s so moist.
He urged FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who was named to the position by Trump, to deliver “substantial” penalties to the network for what he called “unlawful and illegal behavior.”
“CBS is out of control, at levels never seen before, and they should pay a big price for this,” he wrote.
In Trump’s mind, saying something he doesn’t want you to say is “unlawful and illegal”. And since both Congress and the Supreme Court have decided that he is never wrong, and law enforcement now operates by kidnapping people and trafficking them into life imprisonment and slavery without trial, that is the de facto reality.

This is fucked up and it’s terrifying that’s the new reality
We really need him to produce a chart of these levels he’s talking about, for the sake of comedy.
But the levels can never be seen.
Touché
I assume the levels fall within an energy frequency not detectable by the normal human retina, thus making any such visual representation meaningless to us mere mortals.
Many such levels.
“…at levels never seen before”
its over 9000!
or...
8000 if you’re og. so tired of the maga dumbz.
60 minutes: “…this one goes up to 11.”
and law enforcement now operates by kidnapping people and trafficking them into life imprisonment and slavery without trial
Oh, honey. You don’t think those people are still alive, do you?
Realistically, we don’t know, because the point is for them to disappear. Historically this has tended to mean people get killed.
How would you know if they’re dead or alive if they disappeared? They’re Schroedinger’s Political Prisoners, perfect for plausible deniablity.
“We don’t know if they’re dead. They could be living wonderful lives in a tropical paradise, and they just dont want to share, you don’t know.”
They could be living wonderful lives in a tropical paradise, and they just dont want to share, you don’t know."
Like Whitman, Price, and Hadad. You remember them‽
They’re saying that Maryland guy is still alive.
Ahem, “Pics or it didn’t happen.”
“They are not a ‘News Show,’ but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as ‘News’”
Shocked pikachu used “projecting”
“They are not a ‘News Show,’ but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as ‘News,’ and must be responsible for what they have done, and are doing,” the president wrote.
Isn’t this clown being sued by the same firm that sued Fox “News” and won?
