Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
ABC is a network that doesn't have an FCC license. Each individual local station is an FCC licensee. They're the ones that are responsible for the content they air.
Why should Trump be expected to understand how federal agencies work?
Mostly true. ABC network does own licenses in some markets.
Trump or any other political figure can’t just pull a license for no reason though. FCC is pretty good about that
List of O&Os
Trump has repeatedly shown he can and will ignore all the rules restricting him. Furthermore he'd have immunity for official acts. So firing everyone until someone agrees to just pull the licenses of any station named ABC is right up his alley and possible now.
He can't do any of that, as he is not in charge of any of that.
Yeah that's what we thought with the CFPB too.
Hell he can claim ABC is a terrorist organization and then sic the federal government on them. Since he identified them as terrorists dealing with them would be considered an "official act" covered by the immunity ruling...
I don't think he'd go that hard that quick. Last night reminded us that while he can be goaded, he isn't stupid.
Interesting take - he looked pretty stupid to me
Yeah but you aren't who he was talking to. He definitely successfully messaged to conservatives worried about immigration and security.
He's extremely stupid and completely driven by his narcissism.
Narcissism and stupidity aren't related like that. He can be goaded but he still kept returning to message. It's not a message that's going to convince Democrats to vote for him.
