Discussion: Advocates Raise The Alarm Over Ripple Effects Of Eliminating NEH, NEA

Trump: Guys, I am trying to crash the entire system so I can buy expensive stuff for pennies on the dollar. Imagine how rich we all be when the moochers file bankruptcy. This is what I call is Draining The Swamp. Weak must die and give me their stuff.

The ā€˜Rippleā€™ effect may be POTUS Trounceā€™s main problem. I think he has mental deficiencies due to past and surely current stimulus abuse.
Champagne and Ripple make Champipple and that is a braggarts Don Perignon.

Wash down a few pills with some cheap wine and allā€™s good except for the constantly deteriorating brain cells that is.

Judging by Trounceā€™s love for cheesy gold plated crap, felt cats and bad pictures of himself, itā€™s very likely that he has no appreciation for the arts or the finer things in life but as POTUS he might just realize that everyone isnā€™t like him. We are a very diverse nation and have a wide range of interests from Cowboy poetry to opera and it all makes us the US. The libraries that Trounce wants to cut would give him all of this information for free and someday, there will be a Trounce library but Dumbo is too hellbent on wrecking to realize that when that day comes heā€™ll have to pretend to care about such things.

I guess a nice anti-tank launcher lithograph framed with barbed wire hanging in the halls of congress and our living rooms ainā€™t all bad. Ugh!

The irony of course is that Trumpā€™s biggest supporters place a premium on ā€œWesternā€ culture and the NEA is one of the few outlets the federal government has to shape what that means.

Hey, hey, youā€™re giving away the big Trump Prezzie Library surprisesā€¦

If he doesnā€™t bronze his daughters plastic boobs, Iā€™ll be real surprised.

And the latest iteration of wife figurine in wax. Ahh-perfection!

There was a study done about the NEA some years back which needs to be remembered now. What the study found was that for every dollar the NEA distributes in grants it returns nearly $20 to the communities where the groups receiving funding are locatedā€¦ Thatā€™s a pretty good economic return. The budgets for these agencies are approximately 0.02% of the entire federal government. But this isnā€™t about money. This is about starving the arts which encourage people to think.

Trumpā€™s BUGET is fit for a KING.
A vindictive, spiteful, hateful, uncaring ONE at that.

The KINGā€™S court serves him well, in deed. Paul Ryan and his POSSE are cut from the clay.

DOWN WITH THE KING and his COURT.

Let them cake, he said. And by virtue of his deeds, he meant it.

The ā€˜BOYS IN BLUEā€™ who swore their allegiance to the KING, gets first nibble at the crumbs. Seniors who depend on meals on wheels for their one meal a day, may soon meet their maker much sooner than anticipated. And some Hospitals may have to close their doors because of cuts to Medicaid.

Mick? I thought he was a Mac.

Mulvaney? Thatā€™s an Irish name. Btw, I have a brother-in-law, who I adore, that is 100% Irish on both sides of his family.

Trump: Fuck you, Meryl Streep!

Exactly. Not sure I ever thought Iā€™d agree with Churchill on a whole lot but on that, heā€™s spot on.

ā€œTheses agencies would be abolished," Suzanne Nossel, the executive director of PEN America, an advocate for the NEA and NEH, told TPM.

And yet, Mar A Lago, at an expense of over 3 million bucks of taxpayer dollars per trip, beckons to Donnie on a regular basis.

Titling this disgrace of a budget ā€œAmerica Firstā€ is 100% pure bizarro world. This man proposes to destroy all the things that truly make us great, and admired throughout the world ā€“ foreign aid, culture and the arts, our leading roles in space, health, science in general, you name it. If itā€™s something that the U.S.A. does for the betterment of the world, it gets the shaft here.

F-35s are not what makes America great ā€¦ but I can see why an ignorant cowardly chickenhawk who dodged the draft (but thinks his time at a ā€œmilitaryā€ school kinda-sorta counts, except for those nasty parts where you have to get muddy, and/or shot at) would believe that. Over and over again, this man treats our servicemen and -women with contempt, and still millions of idiots wave flags and chant slogans and get a half-boner when the jets roar overhead.

There is nothing patriotic about any of this.

Just think how many times over we could fund the NEA and NEH on the shit heā€™s wasting. Apparently a house built by human chattel, in a nice part of town in DC, isnā€™t good enough for a fuckwad like him.
