1. Once this is all over these bastards that did this need to go to jail

[EdmondDantes_]

13. While this is stupid and nonsensical, it's not illegal

It would be dangerous to start arresting people just because you disagree with them. Trump calls for the arrest of people he disagrees with.

[Blues Heron]

14. Do you think Trump should go to jail? I do.

Are you kidding?

[EdmondDantes_]

23. For ending the funding of public broadcasting? Absolutely not

[Blues Heron]

28. Whatever gets him there I don't give a shit

As long that fucking pig goes to jail

[AverageOldGuy]

15. Put the entire Trump administration in AlligatorAlcatraz

Fuck a bunch of due process. He will have set the precedent and the Not Very Supreme Court has ruled that the President can do any damn thing he pleases.

[EdmondDantes_]

25. And the way we show that's reprehensible is do it ourselves?

I'm astounded that people think that's okay. Morals and values apparently are conditional I guess. Due process should never be discarded. A tyrant is a tyrant and a danger to everyone even if I nominally agree with their politics (although I would have expected politics and values to coincide more). No one should have that power because it absolutely corrupts.

[orangecrush]

31. Due process has already been discarded

And it's only ok when they do it.

Fuck that.

[hadEnuf]

18. We'll make sure the Republicans are okay with our reactions first, then?

[HeartsCanHope]

21. Trump does that to deflect from his crimes.

Trump DESERVES to go to jail. He should be there now. He has broken so many laws. Damaged so many lives. He deserves massive jail time. We deserve justice!

[Bengus81]

24. It's exactly what Trump will be doing to US citizens on a large basis as time rolls on. His ICE thugs are arresting

anyone who's skin color they disagree with. Most are innocent,many are US citizens.

[Ping Tung]

2. Trump & Cult continue their war on education and knowledge.

[jls4561]

3. I hope some rehabilitation agency straps Fat Donnie from Queens down, jams his eyeballs open, and

forces him to watch nonstop reruns of select PBS shows (maybe just The Joy of Painting).

Though he’s not a young droog and rehab is doubtful, it sure would be satisfying.

[Abolishinist]

10. Like this?

[jls4561]

11. Yup. That scene scared me more than anything else in the movie.

[bif]

4. Un-fucking-real

Take away EVERYTHING that makes this country great. How pathetic are these assholes?

[no_hypocrisy]

5. More television channels and radio stations for moguls to gobble up.

[womanofthehills]

30. The young get all their news on their phones

Look at Tucker - Fox fired him - he had the most viewers on cable tv - 2 to 3 million while many channels had half a million. His podcast is now second to Rogan - getting 10 to 40 million.

Dems really need someone to have a top podcast!

Tv and radio are slipping away.

[BoRaGard]

6. Cue the Corporation for Kristian Propaganda, Inc. (R)

[IzzaNuDay]

7. Today's letters

This tragic news brought to you by the letters
F D J T

[LR3]

8. Can't risk having people hear actual unbiased information

That would bring down the entire Republicon charade.

[generalbetrayus]

9. Orange Julius Caesar is going to roast Big Bird for Thanksgiving dinner at Merde-a-Lardo.

Big Turd gets the first bite of Big Bird.

[DFW]

12. This is the definition of public perversity.

Take something that has served the public for fifty years and eliminate it for no other reason that it was doing a lot of people a lot of good.

That's good old European-American perversity at its purest.

[RockCreek]

16. Alternative Headline "Trump kills Big Bird"

I'd like to see that spladhed all over the world. Higher empathy for that from many MAGOTs than for real people.

[ShazzieB]

17. This will kill my husband.

He is addicted to all the British murder mysteries they show on PBS, as well as the concert shows of baby boomer pop, rock, and folk faves. (I am, too, but as not as much as he is.)

[sueh]

20. Me too, Shazzie.

[AllyCat]

19. I really hate Project 2025

[Bengus81]

22. PBS can survive but it will have to be 100% donation run. Don't know how long they can last.

That fucking NAZI wants to burn it all down to the ground. Ask Trump...nothing says woke,commie,liberal programming like Big bird,This old House,The Joy of Painting etc...etc...

[a kennedy]

29. I wish our billionaires would step up.

I donate, a pittance tho, but I do listen and watch.

[Bengus81]

39. Our PBS station went on the air in 1970. I can't believe it could have the plug pulled

in the coming months but it might all because of Trump and his lemmings in Congress. My gawd..........

[TnDem]

40. Donations

The Ford Foundation used to give PBS billions.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

35. Exactly

We live in NOVA, so our PBS station will be fine, federal funding was only a small part of their budget.

The smaller, rural stations are the ones that will suffer, so that’s where we’re looking to put our donations.

[wcmagumba]

26. Guess I'll be watching more Australian and Euro public tv...UK and Ireland too...

They do some good stuff, I've been watching for a few years...

Edit: You will need a VPN service. I use one called SurfShark...

[Jilly_in_VA]

27. As Emmylou said last night

"NPR, that great bastion of liberal propaganda...the truth!" It brought the house down. Then she said, "Don't let them take it away!"

But he did. The bastard.

Graham Nash said worse about him than that, but not about NPR.

[womanofthehills]

32. Many on NPR have podcasts now
