Total savings from eviscerating the last remaining bits of publicly-funded culture in Americans’ lives: .0000001% of federal budget.

Excellent.

The Trump team is also looking to make major budget cuts at the Transportation, Justice, and State departments, The Hill reported.

Oh, I’m sure Justice Roberts will be thrilled with that idea since he’s been pestering Congress to increase their budget so they can serve Americans better. Damn, why do Republicans hate America so fucking much?

I they gut PBS I will be sad, but will try to appreciate the rich irony of the fact that PBS news has bent over backwards to be “fair to” (i.e., “easy on”) Trump and this is what they are getting in return.

I know all summer long on NPR, the first two words in their newscast that I would awake to every morning were “Donald Trump.” Followed up, of course, by a Clinton email story…usually with commentary by Cokie Roberts.

Too intellectual and elitist for a Made Great America.

Agreed. I was just listening to one of my local public stations and NPR’s news blurb about “the peaceful transition of power” was on again. Made me want to vomit, they’ve turned into a Republican-lite organization since GWBush’s administration. Still, they’re a good source of news and tend to be better than the four major networks and CNN.

Can’t the Senate Democrats filibuster all these cuts?

This is one reason no artist of any stature wants to be within a mile of your big day, Donald. You’re a lifelong vulgarian, and your new buddies have never had a bit of appreciation for this country’s achievements in the arts. The Clintons did. The Obamas did. You know, the popular Presidents. The ones the A-listers are delighted to hang with.

Under Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, whether fully funded or not, the Department of Justice won’t really exist.

Well God already reduced the Justice Dept. on Supreme Court Justice, you can’t expect God to do all the work for Republicans.

Military parades cost money. What do you suggest - taxing the richest 1%?

“Privatize NPR” = Control or kill the messenger.

That’s exactly what I think. I know it’s way too low a bar but it is still far better than TV/cable outlets and no single day passes without NPR for me, it’s my friend on my way work/home. I wish they just stopped inviting nutjob hacks and that would be an instant, significant improvement – and no additional investment needed, even! If they did just that I’d add a little more to my current monthly donation to them. Oh well.

Yes, sir…No real difference between Trump and Clinton! Both crooked, so I either won’t vote, or vote for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson. That’ll show 'em!
