Their non-existent broadcast license.
But now that Carr has his marching orders don’t be surprised when a handful of CBS affiliates that totally coincidently happen to be in lucrative regions start having problems with their licenses.
Either (a) he is under the misapprehension that the CBS network is licensed by the FCC (and this isn’t the first time that he’s made this sort of demand), and/or (b) he’s saying this crap to rile up his base.
The obvious answer is that this is Trump talking and he has no idea what the reality of the situation is.
A deeper answer is that if the Trump administration decides to target CBS, they will go after the licenses of the individual stations that broadcast CBS programming.
With Trump, usually the answer is (c) both.
This is the same man who “revoked” Adam Schiff’s non-existent security clearance 4 times, right?
Somebody is going to dangle something shiny (i.e. some token ‘punishment’) in front of him to placate him. At least until the next time he gets pissed at something on “60 Minutes” and makes the same threat again.
I think that was Kinzinger who had his security clearance revoked 4 times.
Ah, quite right.
Either way, I imagine the White House custodial staff is now thoroughly sick of cleaning ketchup (catsup?) stains off the walls.
Isn’t he the first to replace his lapel flag pin with a lapel bust o’ Trump pin? Which may be the single most nauseating display of sycophancy I’ve ever seen outside North Korea.
Soon to come; all his aides will be carrying notebooks and scribbling down all the crazed ramblings.
What the fuck was wrong with KNXT? Those assholes.
Speaking of nonexistent status…
And here’s the fun part!
I also like her evaluation of the caliber of the email she received.
Didn’t some of us here predict basically all of this?
Yes, but predicting fascists will do fascist things is like predicting the sun will rise the next day.
You just reminded me of one of the fascist things done in Germany back in the 1930s. Native born Germans were stripped of citizenship.
I must be mistaken. Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship is nothing like that. Nothing at all.
Didn’t we fight a war against fascism?
We did. But remember that we had the German-American Bund, and sympathisers like Charles Lindbergh.
I am - no joke - waiting for an explicit equivalent of the paper bag test to be the subject of an executive order. It would not even mildly surprise me at this point.
The Trump administration is incable of… Nah, that’s too many words.
The Trump administration is incapable.
Let’s not pretend this is a mistake. It’s deliberate and it’s harassment of lawyers for immigrants and, therefore, harassment of immigrants.
Let’s also not pretend what’s happening to Abrego Garcia is an error either. This is a warning to all and sundry that you can and will be sent to a foreign dungeon if felon47 and his flacks decide you will.
The only thing I’m left wonding now is how soon it will be before judges, representatives, and senators start getting disappeared to overseas prisons.
“Lock her up!” sounds better in the original German Salvadoran Spanish.
I swear I read an article that some hackers had, well, hacked the department and sent out fake letters like this.
Did anyone else read that?
I recall that but can’t find the story.
Maybe he will slap a 88% tariff on CBS.
