RE: to apply for asylum

I don't blame  any of them for taking advantage of a law so asinine it beggars belief. 

Ditto so-called, Birthright Citizenship.

Truly - am I correct? 

 

Yes.

Explain how the state censored this. 

It was self censorship, in the face of fears that Trump might pull their broadcast licence or prosecute and wage lawfare against them.

They've been intimidated into silence by precedent.

Speech is not free and the price is going up.

Just more made up BS. Trump has no power to just pull broadcast licenses like that. So WTF are you talking about? What lawfare would be waged against them?

You people have no integrity. You just spout whatever BS you can.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to revoke the broadcast licenses of major U.S. media networks—specifically ABC, CBS, and NBC—citing biased or "fake" news coverage. You're unaware of this or is it just more take news?

He's suing BBC for $10 billion.

Sure, the most powerful man in the world is powerless.

I can threaten to lock you up in prison every day on this forum. So what?

There is no ability to execute on that threat. 

You didn't actually answer my question, as to what power or ability Trump actually has to do here. Why? Because you know you are full of shit. 

Also, no, Trump has not made that many direct threats that often at all.

I find it very curious that someone whose constant refrain is "You're lying" so readily supports Trump, who is a pathological liar. How do you account for this inconsistency?

Nothing curious about it. "Support" for Trump is not 100% or nothing. I routinely criticize him, and as I have pointed out to you and others, even recently, there is plenty of legitimate stuff to criticize him for, but you guys always have to go further and make up your own lies about him.

Another lie. You have already run away from like half a dozen threads in the last week where I have called you out for pushing lies about him. Just the other day you were pushing a lie about his so-called "con" on the warrior dividends when he clearly called out the One Big Beautiful Bill and you presented an argument as if he did not, doubled down, then ran away when called out.

The FCC has the authority to decide media mergers - currently it is reviewing its media ownership regulations. 

The Chairman of the FCC is appointed by POTUS. Carr was nominated by both Biden and Trump - and was confirmed by the Senate. 

 

Tremendous power - it is legit tho.

CBS has said they will be taking legal action against anyone sharing their story. So watch it whole you still can (not that you will as the facts conflict with your false reality)

 

Trump was very clear in yesterday’s random hate-tweet:
 

“If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Negative to President Donald J. Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party, shouldn’t their very valuable Broadcast Licenses be terminated? I say, YES!”

 

The Orange Dictator strikes again.

So you share the misgivings everyone else has you just think they're taking them further than you and turning them into lies -  the baselessness of the assertions aren't in question just how far people take them.

At what point do their assertions cross that line where yours stop?

I said nothing about "sharing" any "misgivings" with anyone here to say that it was some kind of scale they took too far. No, very specific lies are made, that makes them lies. I will call that out. There are many other legitimate honest things to criticize Trump for. 

There is no point where their assertions cross a line other than when they make up crap, that is a lie, I will call that out.

You're not calling anything out by simply calling them lies without evidence that explains why they're lies.

You're being presented with clear examples of Trump threatening broadcasters licences and you're like...

................ many have condemned the U.S. , particularly the President ........ going  so far as to say the country, it's ideology and the  source of inspiration is in decline. They go on with their rhetoric uttering the warning  that the 4 Horses of the apocalypse are saddling up? 

All this might be completely true, somewhat true or chicken little?

I for one, whatever the outcome, will find the journey fascinating. ........... I find Trump's strategies masterful and effective. 

One thing is for sure, Trump has ripped the facade OFF U.S. politics and exposed it for the corrupt cesspool that it is. 

Buckle up, gentlemen ............... it's  going  to get far more interesting.

Just more of your baseless assertions for you to run away from. 

Well for one the false claim that the people sent to the Salvadorian torture camp were criminals and terrorists. Some of them weren’t even in the US illegally. 
 

For another the false claim that peasants making a couple extra bucks transporting cocaine are combattats no different than soldiers fuelling a tank that’s killing Americans 

For a third, the suggestion that bringing additional cans of fuel to a gas power plant somehow makes it generate more electricity. 
 

For a fourth, your suggestion that Al Gore exercising his explicit legal option to request a manual recount is the exact same as Trump’s attempt to steal and sabotage the 2020 election by forging false electoral certificates, threatening election officials to falsify their vote counts, threatening congressmen and the vice president not to certify the election results,  filing dozens of bogus lie-filled lawsuits to de-legitimize the election and sending a horde to disrupt the election certification. 
 

So there’s that. 

[John Stone]

................ whether it's the white cat or the black, people don't believe anything coming out of Congress, the Executive or the apolitical rulings of SCOTUS. 

When the trust is gone and it IS gone  - everything  else follows. 

Rumor is some A$$HOLE provided Trump's campaign with 300 million?

Don't blame Trump  for that tho, it was legit. 

IT WAS LEGIT???

Well, for starters, that is not my claim. 

They were sent to CECOT with assurances from El Salvador they would be treated according to international human rights standards. Their claim was that there was enough evidence they were members of a violent gang, not that they all were definitely criminals and terrorists, but either way, they were here illegally. There were a handful of administrative errors made.

Lets get to the real truth here, which is that you support this open borders madness and have no interest in America enforcing its immigration laws. So why doesn't Canada open its borders up to the millions here unlawfully, we will ship them all to you!

See, if you would stop running away from these discussions, instead of bringing it up later out of context like this... 

The argument is not "no different" in any absolute sense of the word, but it was with your absurd logic for what defines "combat" or a "combatant" that I provided that example of to show you how obtuse and wrong you were. 

According to your logic, it is wrong for the US in WWII to blow up unarmed people delivering fuel to tanks... because they were unarmed! That fuel was not killing anyone!

Well, this is an outright lie or you are too stupid to remember the discussion (yet another you ran away from like the coward you are). That was never my suggestion, or anything close to what I said. You were the one making ignorant and stupid comments about how energy is stored and I was correcting your stupidity, along with a few other ignorant comments you made about things like LNG.

Well, "exact same" is your absurd generalization, as of course there are differences, but the point I was making was the concept of trying to steal an election was the same. 

Also, another discussion you have run away from like a coward several times in several different threads. 

Trump was not forging false electoral certificates. Trump was not threatening election officials to falsify their vote counts. It is completely lawful (like you said, to excercise what Trump believed to be and was advised by legal counsel to be) a legal option to context the election vote counts through the lawful methods in Congress to do just that.

Filing "bogus" lawsuits is no more "bogus" than Al Gore's lawsuit ended up being in the end... 

Trump did not send a horde, he was at a peaceful protest and advised his supporters to also march peacefully to protest. 

So, once again, here you are having to push a laundry list of lies, all things from many discusssions had on this forum that have already been pointed out to you that you ran away from like the coward you are.

Which lie are you talking about then? Be specific. It is lazy and dishonest to generalize about it now. 

I made the distinct point to you on this already. Remember I am just some random internet guy who can't carry out his threats against you? I asked you what specific and explicit power Trump has or has threatened here to do... you can't name it, because it is just Trump being stupid Trump like always with his hyperbole. 

So what?

The FCC Commissioner is hiring a CBS “bias monitor" who will report directly to Trump.

This is how state-run media begins.
