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.
This week on The Americans, they discover that they elected the old man who yells at the TV! Hilarity ensues when he chucks the remote and breaks the screen then goes on a wacky adventure to buy another TV under the new tariffs!
This guy has himself surrounded by yes men and is locked into his own disinformation bubble for most of the time. Getting a glimpse of what people who aren’t kissing his ass really are thinking about him must have been quite the whiplash for his tiny sick mind to take.
I watch 60 Minutes regularly. Mostly the mainstream media is way too easy on this administration. While this wasn’t some crushing indictment, I can see why Trump was unhappy about it. And Zelenskyy was being super diplomatic. I know deep down he just wants to tell Trump to go fuck himself.
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.
“…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.”
law enforcement now operates by kidnapping people and trafficking them into life imprisonment and slavery without trial
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.

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.”
Don’t worry I’m sure we’ll get them soon, their top prompt writers are all over it.
Just need ai image generation to advance enough that the Live Photo doesn’t have 6 fingers
I thought this was the onion for a good 2 seconds.
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.
Maybe they just showed him the same cut as in Iron Sky (2012). It would be amazin if that joke was that deep.
Trump is born almost exactly 1 year later after hitlers death coincidence? Reincarnation baby, no quick saves.
The CIA must have operation paper clipped Hitler’s soul.
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”).
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.
Oh, so it’s like “at least eggs are cheaper”? Neat
It’s effective. If you listen to interviews where people give reasons they voted for mango Mussolini, it’s invariably something he declared regardless of reality or evidence.
It shouldn’t take much listening to the guy to realize everything he says is BS but apparently some people only hear what they want to, and take that as fact
Well when you respond missing half your brain

“maximum fines and punishment”
Sure. Those are both 0, jackass.
He should just go ahead and have that stroke he’s been foreshadowing for years.
Science will later tell us he was having a 60-year-long stroke. Ironically, the “greatest” stroke of all time.
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?
“They are not a ‘News Show,’ but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as ‘News’”
Shocked pikachu used “projecting”
“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.
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
