Treating the Federal Communications Commission like his own personal enforcer, Donald Trump said on social media Sunday that NBC’s Kristen Welker would be “reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment” over a TV segment he didn’t like.

In a separate post, Trump complained in all caps about “fake polls” and said “something must be done about it,” adding, “FCC to the rescue!”

The posts were Trump’s most explicit efforts yet to direct the FCC to carry out his wishes. FCC Chair Brendan Carr, a Trump appointee and close ally, did not respond to CNN’s request for comment on the matter.

    For the giant douche or the turd sandwich?

    We already knew nominating these democrats was doomed to fail, yet you blame voters and not the ones that force these bad candidates on us.

    The lesser of two evils arguments don't work, not the least when the better party gets worse every fucking cycle. Look at biden, the old cunt.

    Stop blaming voters. It's ironic because you will follow us, presuming you live in the west, in all liklihood. This doesn't end in America. You need to wake up.

    Better candidates and parties would be great however the fact remains, if people don’t vote then they voted for the winner. Fairly simple but there appears to be a cultural issue about choosing only to vote for someone they like rather than not getting someone they hate. If voting is the only tool available for change and people don’t use it…..

    Be that as it may. We knew we had a losing strategy, and kept to it, because people that suck told us it was the safe choice.

    And I'm the asshole for questioning this leadership.

    Find a fucking spine, a backbone and fight for your freedom.

    I’m fucking tired of the strongest people on the planet asking everyone what they should do.

    Drown him in your newly named Lake America for all I fucking care.

    Canadians and the rest of the world are pretty much done giving a shit about you all and your apologies for your government.

    Fuck off. Grow up. Fight.

    Downvote me all you want. It won’t change a thing about what’s coming your way.

    Just some ideas:

    • try deprogramming one of your MAGA relatives
    • boycott the big evil corporations
    • eat less meat, drive your car less
    • VOTE in every election
    • involve yourself in your community
    • help in local election campains
    • maybe even involve yourself with a new local chapter of DSA? (I don't know how it works in the US on a local level)
    • complain
    • If you're up to it, throw your sabot
