Donald Trump has threatened to shut down NBC and other American networks, saying that they peddle fake news.
"With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!" Mr Trump wrote in a tweet.
Mr Trump's tweet came in response to a story written by NBC, which said that Mr Trump had sought to increase America's nuclear arsenal tenfold after taking a look at a briefing slide that showed stead reduction of the US nuclear arsenal since the 1960s. The story cited three officials who were reportedly in the room when Mr Trump made the comments.

Don"t you DARE criticize the effects of our perfect sacred constitution or otherwise heretically question the infinite wisdom of the Framers!
For there is no system better than our system, and no country better than our country, as illustrated by the failure of all others to achieve what we achieve, or handle the test of time, greed and corruption!
You, for one, should expect the DC inquisition!

Settle down, pinhead! No one is saying that you can't criticise the Constitution or "the infinite wisdom of the Framers". You can put that straw man back in the closet.
If you have a better idea for how the government should be run then, by all means, put it out there before a candid world. My guess is that you won't. My next guess is that if you should choose to respond, you will only embarrass yourself further.
Ummm...yeah. You can put your persecution complex in the closet right next to your favourite straw man.

He was being sarcastic. Sheesh.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
