  1. If you think Bill Buckley would consider Donald Trump “right”, you are dumber than I thought. And I already thought you’re really fucking stupid.
  2. Buckley would piss all over you and your orange god
  3. The new budget that was passed just gave the top 10 richest Americans on estimated $3 trillion over the next 10 years and not a peep from these fucksticks about it.
  4. You’re a moron. Like really fucking stupid. The entire federal outlay for all public media at every level was projected at 535 million for this year. That is out of a budget of 7 trillion. That’s not even a fraction of a penny out of every thousand dollars the government spends. Please tell me you are sterilized.
  5. OK, how about this? I’ll pick my tax dollars going to pay for healthcare for people that can’t afford it and public media you can elect to send your tax dollars to ice agents to terrorize brown people and pay for a pedophiles golf Excursions deal?
  6. Even if you are super selfish and a total piece of shit realize it’s riot insurance
  7. I mean, I gave him two well thought out responses and look at how he responded. He does not deserve any serious consideration
  8. And yet you voted for him for president
  9. Ever heard of the library of Congress? Read up on its inception and evolution. A federal government was a brand new concept, and ours was in significant debt from fighting a war against the greatest power on the planet at that time. There wasn’t much money available for government subsidies for anything. Look up the Federal Depository Library Program (1813) and Smithsonian Institution Publications (1846) As our country grew, monetary support for the arts and sciences has grown along with it (at least until now).There are examples everywhere, from the Lewis and Clark expedition through the land grant university programs and federally backed research in agriculture and industry. Government leaders beginning in the 20th century have consistently have felt an obligation to promote the arts as well. It is mind-boggling that in the last 30 years or so such concepts have become partisan issues. Even the Robber Barons knew the importance of private patronage in partnership with government money. What we have today is pathetic and we are on the verge of the biggest brain in history
  10. I’m confused. Is your argument that the founding fathers, who put so much emphasis on knowledge, science, and the arts, and who encouraged their development both on a personal level as well as with government patronage, would not take advantage of the technology of television, radio waves, and now the Internet to foster and promote those ideals, and disseminate them to our citizens? Go ahead and flesh this out for us a bit
  11. Washington, from the very first State of the Union Jefferson, in a letter to Edward Tiffin, a physician who became the first governor of Ohio, on the importance of the arts and sciences to developing and maintaining a free society (especially relevant to what is happening in America currently) And finally Madison who, along with Jefferson, is the founding father who aligns most closely with “borderline libertarian,” in Federalist 62 CPB and PBS / NPR embody one of the core aspirations of the founders of our country, and provide infrastructure critical for carrying it out. Gutting and dismantling them are direct attacks on our way of life
  12. Remember when Covid numbers were up because we were testing too much?
  13. This American Life episode on lies this is a fantastic episode and one of the acts focuses on how this type of lie is becoming pervasive among government officials They interview Masha Gessen who wrote a book called Surviving Autocracy Everyone there knows it’s a lie. “Now what are you going to do about it punk?”
  14. Post their maps fucknut
  15. @immamac looks like gruhorn is back
  16. If I’m ever on a jury for something like that bullshit the defendant is definitely going to walk
  17. If you’ve been around that long then you should know that everyone with a car that shitty has a cousin or buddy in the hood that will pass their car for an extra $20 (maybe 50 these days, I haven’t been a poor in quite some time)
  18. So who is brave enough to start the John Mateer Seems Like He Sucks thread?
  19. This guy is 44 years old
  20. Goddamn you are stupid. I mean I’m surprised you earn enough money to have internet access.
  21. They could’ve arrested David Koresh at the grocery store or on his routine run through the neighborhood outside the compound
  22. In America? Shit I would say about 30%.
  23. Hope you didn’t need that water East Texas I drink your milkshake!
  24. No just bullets in the heads and chests of little kids. By IDF snipers
