Trump Threatens to Prosecute CNN for Imaginary Crimes Against Dear Leader"},"content":{"rendered":"

The determination of Donald Trump to exert tyrannical control over the media that he despises has taken another turn for the worse. He is now not only insulting them as “fake”<\/em> news, or demeaning them as “the enemy of the people,”<\/em> or suing them on preposterous charges of defamation. He has escalated his wrath to outright threats of prosecution.<\/p>\n

Bear in mind that Trump has not identified any actual crime that anyone in the press has committed. He has never needed any such trivialities as prosecutable offenses to backup his wild accusations. Trump merely babbles maniacally about some imagined illegality and expects his cult devotees to follow blindly.<\/p>\n

Trump participated in a staged photo-op in Florida to visit a new migrant detention facility that features alligator infested surrounding waters. Of course, the alligators have no impact whatsoever on the security of the facility. But the gruesome cruelty of the notion of migrants – including children – being ripped to shreds delights the sickly morbidity of the MAGA crowd.<\/p>\n

During the press conference Trump was asked questions about some of his other inhumane and unconstitutional mass deportation initiatives. One in particular addressed a news report by CNN about a publicly available app that advised people of where ICE agents were conducting operations. Which led to the following exchange…<\/p>\n

Question:<\/strong> CNN yesterday pushed an app that lets you track where ICE agents are. [Border czar] Tom Homan said that perhaps CNN should be prosecuted for that. Your Thoughts?
\nHomeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem:<\/strong> We’re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that. Because what they\u2019re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities, operations, and we\u2019re going to actually go after them and prosecute with the partnership of [Attorney General] Pam [Bondi] if we can, because what they are doing we believe is illegal.
\nTrump:<\/strong> And they may very well be prosecuted also for having given false reports on the attack in Iran. They were given totally false reports.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
