Trump's Next Move Towards a Fascist State: Take Away Licensing of T.V. Networks

[Issa]

I lived under a dictatorship and I know a dictator when I see one. Trump is trying so hard to be one, and his extreme minority is pushing the envelope.

 

[Dale Smith]

All he has to prove is NBC's malice towards him

It has already been proven.

It's already been proven that Trump didn't ask for the nuclear program to be increased 10 fold?

No, he is saying the malice has already been proven.

Every President has been criticized. That's the purpose of the press. You have to take everything on a case by case basis. Trump's tweet has to do with the reporting of his meeting with his national security council, Tillerson calling him a moron, and Trump asking for the nuclear arsenal to be increased 10 fold.

"very President has been criticized. That's the purpose of the press."

I couldn't agree more. Malice? How about, Trump calling Obama a criminal? No, the only problem here is that Trump and his 30 million mommies have to provide cover for what amounts to a thin-skinned babyman. mean media! All fake news! the leaks are real! But it's all fake!.... complete dissonance...

Girl, please.........anyone that criticized the Barrypuppet was declared a "RACIST!!!!!" and they circled the wagons around that jug-eared clown no matter what. It's not the skin tint of the Barrypuppet but rather the thin skin of his supporters that that he could do no wrong.

 

[Ame®icano]

How can people continue to support this guy? Can you think of any other historical figures that wanted to silence anyone that talked ill of them...?

""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!" Mr Trump wrote in a tweet."

Donald Trump threatens to shut down NBC and other TV news networks that criticise him

James Madison and Thomas Jefferson said that the free press was a key element in having a true democracy.

"I am... for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents." --Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry, 1799. ME 10:78

What was your reaction when Barry's admin suggested the same thing against conservative outlets?

Link?

Google "fairness doctrine". Plenty of links.

Can you show me where Obama supported it? Because from everything I'm reading, he was against it.

In June 2008, Barack Obama's press secretary wrote that Obama (then a Democratic U.S. Senator from Illinois and candidate for President):

“ Does not support reimposing the Fairness Doctrine on broadcasters ... [and] considers this debate to be a distraction from the conversation we should be having about opening up the airwaves and modern communications to as many diverse viewpoints as possible. That is why Sen. Obama supports media-ownership caps, network neutrality, public broadcasting, as well as increasing minority ownership of broadcasting and print outlets.[50] ”

Riiiight. Barry never said one thing and did opposite.

June 2008? That was before he was elected. Right after he was sworn in, sometimes in February 2009, Democrats (Hinchey, Stabenow and Harkin), with Barry's blessing pushed for reinstating the "fairness doctrine" and he put Rivera to lead the transition.

You don't know about that? Oh, you were still in diapers...

 

[Dale Smith]

Trump doesn't have to prove a negative, dipstick.

Yes, he does. You can't just SAY someone is telling a lie, you have to prove it is a lie.

No you don't. Not when the claim has absolutely no evidence to support it.

Yes, yes he does, especially when he is trying to deny them renewing their license.

So you think you can punish people without proving them guilty?

Trump has the power to revoke a license to broadcast? Hardly........the leftists threatened to use that same tactic to go after radio stations that broadcast shows like Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, etc,etc until they realized that the same media conglomerates that own 90 percent of all media also own the very stations that put these programs on....get it now????

I've already answered you on this.

Only the FCC can revoke a license, moron......capiche'?

 

[TemplarKormac]

So, if you're not part of a cookie cutter press, you're not "free".

Do you really want to say that rw press is "objective, independent" and not a "mouthpiece for the gop?

No, they're not free, they're biased. They lie freely and are freely biased. If lying is wrong, why do we tolerate either side doing it? I thought news was supposed to be accurate, not tainted by political views?

And just because I'm a conservative does not allow me to exempt the press organizations that are closer to my points of view.

Hence, why I said one "one party or the other." Do you even read the whole post or do you simply cherry pick?

Now. People like Trump, who make the comments he makes, find ways to usurp the process. Take for example the inability of Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare... so what is Trump going to try and do? Write EO's to undermine it.

Lol really? America is nothing like the Muslim theocracies of the Middle East. Nothing. Like.

I mean hey, he could have sent troops to suppress protesters (killing them in the streets like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did in 2011) after his inauguration, but he didn't. No, you don't know a dictator when you see one, you truly don't.

Barrypuppetcare was a joke from it's very inception. 2,700 plus pages of pork-filled legislation with 50,000 rules and regulations most of which were not made known to the politicians much less the public. Mandatory participation while those that didn't qualify for a subsidy got fucked royally. How many times did the Barrypuppet stall parts of it because it wasn't politically expedient for the leftard clown posse party? How many big time donors to the DNC were given exceptions to complying? Illegals still got free care when we were told that they wouldn't be? You want to talk about usurping the process? Look no further than the Barrypuppet.

Look kid, you are trying to prove something, but for that you need to know the subject(s). You've been proven wrong every time, over and over, and you're still dicking around like you're boss here. So far, you show nothing, because you know nothing. Grow up.

I've never used it about any other president, nor did I imply anything about living under a dictatorship. In fact, I explicitly said we were not, and that our institutions prevent such a thing. Pay attention!

yes, I think he is a spoiled little manbaby dictator, who throws little tantrums and came into office thinking the government was "the President's cabal". And his little delusion still gets smacked down on almost a daily basis. It's like whack-a-mole with his authoritarian tendencies.
