Trump: When you have a network and you have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump
Theyre licensed. Theyre not allowed to do that.

Trump is in on his way back to the USA--

I am glad had lots of protesters---but I am sure Trump did not see them.
Everything Trump did while in England was behind the gates of Windsor Castle!!

(11 posts)He will have a state run media, that's what he wants and what we're going to get. Everyone is folding. Are we really surprised by this? I'm not. I'm less surprised every day.

(45,678 posts)Individual stations are. Some are owned by the networks, the vast majority are not. ABC isn't going to sue. Their biggest affiliates aren't going to sue. Might an individual station, or a commonly owned group of stations that didn't want to lose the show have standing? Closer call, but I don't see anyone stepping up.

(8,103 posts)Raised on Disney, part of the culture, and they caved. They have money to fight. I don't. You don't. They do.
Eff Trump, et al. Him and his fucking ballroom. Him and his gold leaf. Him and and his Ice Queen.
I recall a newspaper cartoon when Walt Disney died. It was the Mouse, a world globe, and the Mouse was crying. The globe was his head, and tears were flowing.
That's the way I feel. Trump is taking everything from us. I refuse to be like him. If I have to give up the enjoyment of fantasy in order to get rid of this cancer, I guess I will. I'm going to miss Disney, the Mouse, and everything sweet they gave us. But, we're done until the Orange Pedophile is gone.
Fight is on.
