Brendan Carr said the ads are “normal-course public service announcements” and nothing that would “merit any sort of” review by the Federal Communications Commission.

Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr said Wednesday that new pro-Trump TV ads paid for with government funds don’t “merit any sort of FCC review.”

“It doesn’t strike me as anything at all out of the ordinary,” Carr said of the ads, which have aired across the country in recent weeks.

Asked about allegations that the ads are “propaganda,” Carr laughed.

The White House has “explained that these are just normal-course public service announcements, PSAs, that you see all the time. I don’t think there’s anything unique or different about it,” he said at a news conference.

We have investigated ourselves and found that we've done nothing wrong. - Trump Admin and his cronies. Fucking losers are so stupid, they think we're gonna fall for this. Because they would. Fucking morons.

    They're less worried about you "falling for it" more-so "who's gonna do something about it"

    Yeah whatever. They all think of themselves as former high school bullies but in reality, they're neither smart enough nor creative enough to bully anyone. They were just the doofuses in the back going "har har yeah, what he said!" Fucking losers.

    I'd say they're pretty good at the "I'm not touching you" bullying strategy. That's the strategy where the bully pokes the target with a stick, and then the target loses it eventually, causing the bully to say the target flipped out for absolutely no reason. Trump's pretty good at that.

    Didn’t they have to not air that segment on broadcast tv, but rather told people they had to go to YouTube to watch it?

    No, they didn't "have to" not air that segment. They chose to comply in advance like the little fascist bitches they are.

    (Talking about the network owners, not Kimmel himself, BTW.)

    They aren't worried about the frog boiling slowly anymore. The gas has been cranked to 11 and if you point that out they shrug and laugh at you. The US is probably worse than Soviet Russia was at this point.

    These are the reasons everyone thinking that voting is going to get rid of these pedophilic and traitorous parasites.

    There is no mechanism for transferring leadership.

    It just says at noon, on January 20th, the new president will be in charge.

    So let's say Kamala or Newsome become president (I hope not but it is an example), do you think that Kash Patel, Todd blanche, Pete Hegseth, Russel Voght and Steven Miller are going to turn against Trump and arrest him for not leaving? You think Tom Homan and ICE are going to arrest him?

    What are you taking about? Any new president in 2028 would immediately fire those people and appoint competent people to go after them and Trump

    This is what must happen

    Any democrat running for office needs to be fully LAW AND ORDER bringing down the hammer on everyone in this admin

    Is firing someone a magical spell or something? What is the ENFORCEMENT mechanism? That's the point I am making. When we tell him to leave, and he says, "no", then what?

    Also,

    Hakeem Jeffries is secretly meeting with Jared Kushner

    Schumer is cutting off funding to DSA and non corporate dem candidates (which helps MAGA)

    AIPAC Dems are funding AIPAC Republicans over DSA and non corporate Democrats

    Tammy duckworth is saying that we shouldn't impeach anybody and we should work with the regime.

    They aren't going to go after anyone because most of them are all paid by the same SUPERPAC.
