How do you defund something that runs on charity from the people who watch it (and also a large contribution from the Koch brothers)? Do these dumbfucks think PBS is paid for by tax money? Every single program I've ever seen on PBS explicitly states it's paid for by viewers (and again, the Koch brothers).
I also just sent them a 100 just to be sure. 🤘
PBS is also funded by a grant from the government.
It’s a small portion of their funding at this point but still essential.
They've been after PBS pretty hard. It's probably the one thing that stands between them owning all media in this country.
Musk denied the claim
Did he? Can anyone find exactly what he said in this denial?
Interviewer: "Did you really do a Nazi Seig Heil?!"
Elon Musk: "Nein"
Now, i want to check them out and support them.
And Wikipedia. Lol they'll throw anything they don't like in as a seed to further their fuck face agenda.
What a Nazi bitch move out of the I'm a little Nazi bitch playbook.
It's not a "salute", it's a Nazi salute, from a Nazi, to tell the world, "I'm a powerful Nazi and there's nothing you can do about it."
It's time we did something about it.
Sometimes violence IS the answer
It’s time we did something about it.
We had that chance, just over two months ago.
We elected one of them to office.
It's never too late to fight fascism.
And never too early, neither.
yeah nothing new. they don't like the post office, libraries, public media, public schools, public healthcare, public fire departments, pretty much anything public
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Orwell thought The Party would be directing it all, but this is all sufficiently self-directing, much more akin to what Huxley/Bradbury predicted. People are paying for the privilege of being lied to and running interference for The Party without needing to be coerced with fear of The Party. They only fear The Other.
Oh but they'll still take direction from the party and alter their reality again. "That wasn't a Nazi Salute! The left are all morons and liars!" "Oh Trump says we're taking it back from the Nazis... so it was a Nazi Salute, but in a patriotic way!" "Oh, Trump says Hitler was a historical hero... SEIG HEIL!"
Exactly, just like Jan 6thers were antifa trying to make Trump look bad, but he just pardoned all of them and the followers celebrated..
It's that Sartre quote about anti-semites and how they don't actually have any real arguments or principles and will always say whatever to win.
It’s official, trump fans are nazis
Official-er.
Er-er-er-er....
Just remember that every accusation is still a confession with nazis, even after they hijack the plane.
"pure propaganda"
As in: "We want pure propaganda! We don't want any media whatsoever to ever say anything that we don't like or already agree with! You say Trump is God or you get defunded!!"
Fascists never gonna shut down the imperial voice of fascism.
Conservatives have had a hard on for shutting down PBS for years. It's one of the really mainstream liberal talking points to be like "why do you hate big bird?!"
Trump fans can't even spell PBS
They are stuck at PBR
hums the Q-R-S segment of the alphabet
Hey, nice......
That reminds me of a trip to Vegas with some friends.
Outside our hotel was the PBR bar.
So we thought, hell yeah, drink some shitty cheap beer in the sun before we walk down the strip to.... whatever.
Nope, Professional Bull Riding bar.
I don't recall what I ate (that would a trend for the trip, I was hung over for a week after I got home) but I remember it was pretty tasty.

Whose the collage granulate now?
Have you seen the new show? It's on Tubu. It's literally on Heebee. It's on Poodee with ads. It's literally on Dippy. You can probably find it on Weeno. Dude it's on Gumpy. It's a Pheebo original. It's on Poob. You can watch it on Poob. You can go to Poob and watch it. Log onto Poob right now. Go to Poob. Dive into Poob. You can Poob it. It's on Poob. Poob has it for you. Poob has it for you.
The evidence is tweets coming from a platform that literally cannot be trusted. This is a click bait article.

From FOX News talking about how Trump wants to defund PBS.
And yet, it's not whatsoever difficult to imagine the dictator in chief pulling their funding for this, and I won't be surprised if it happens. I hope there's something left of the country I grew up in four years from now. I think we're at the start of a long, rough road.
