      the Hague is the Kangaroo clown court reserved for countries the US doesn’t like.
      Even Bush was prepared to bomb it.
      And now it’s much worse, even the EU bootlicker leaders have openly and shamelessly said international law doesn’t matter anymore.
      And this after their master bombed 160 girl’s to pieces.

      Fuck the Hague, Piazzala Loreto for all of them Image

  Remember that trumps fcc chair is very trippable. It’d be a real shame if people just communally decided on a new form of protesting called “oops my bad.”

  After all. Accidents happen.

  We’ve already established these threats as toothless.

    Only if a) you have enough money to pay lawyers to defend your rights, and b) the judge happens to not be a Trump follower.

    They don’t have to be legitimate, just saying it is enough for some to comply regardless

    Didn’t NPR lose its funding?

    Fortunately for Trump, American corporations are so spineless and amoral that any type of threat, no matter how toothless or unconstitutional, will induce immediate pre-emptive compliance.

  “Gulf of America” was a sign of things to come. I truly hope nobody over there is surprised now.

  These fake threats will be used by the fascist Trump donors that own and run the stations as an excuse to violate the 1st amendment.

  We must cut funding to national radio stations. NPR pbs and (I forget the name of the am radio stations that broadcast all over the world to spread information to countries with heavily censored media). This is being done because it is state funded media and must not be supported.

  The media that is still going out must be positive or else we will come for you because you are telling lies. For all we do is great and anything that says otherwise is a lie.

  Real factual coverage is negative. It’s an illegal war that Trump is losing. Of course that is negative. There is no way to report it positively without resorting to complete fantasy. Although I believe there is precedent for that in war coverage in the US.
