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.

    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.

      When people stop electing them into positions of massive power then yes, we can stop talking about them.

          And we’ve never really seen that go anywhere.

          • with lack of well known evidence, I assume that there is no evidence of widespread direct fraud
          • but we know there was voter suppression in many states. Why haven’t I seen anything about the impact of that?
          • and we know there was vote buying, in any sane world, someone would be in jail already
