So what?
Can you tell us why journalism-ing about ***** animals and doctor’s concerns about the frequency of rubbing one out are a worthy use of tax dollars? To use one of your go-to’s, please be specific.

His actions have direct effect on my daily life, same with any other American.
At least he could do something cool and whip his dick out like LBJ did.
What is today’s direct effect? Yesterday’s?

He is the President of the United States. The most powerful position on the planet. Typically one that comes with some form of decorum.
I would prefer a level of decorum. His behavior is not worthy of the office.
I would never let a dufus like him rule my every waking moment the way you do. All my best to you and your type. Only a little over 3.5 years to go.

Your mind is about to be blown when you figure out what field NOAA is involved in
We are both certain that your concerns about the arts and sciences as they relate to NPR/PBS are a different matter altogether. It’s ok that you are backtracking on your “best use” claims.

Why do you think it's so important for him to drive people into "hysteria*"
*Hysteria here defined as "rational criticism of insane, insipid policy decisions"
Why do you let him?

If, as a people, we are unwilling to fund all this, what are we willing to fund? So sad!
Highly recommend scrolling through. It’s fun!

EVERYONE knows what he is. It’s the hysteria from people like you and Redhawk (the future you) that make it all so entertaining.

That should be funded as well.
At the end of the day, it’s just another item on the list of stuff us Dems are going to have to reinstate once we’re back in power.
Arts and sciences are part of soft power. For example, we attract (or did attract) top musicians to schools like the Juilliard School. This benefits the nation and keeps us above other countries.
The arts and sciences will survive perfectly fine without government propping up NPR. You can take that off your long list of concerns. On your behalf I will rank funding arts and sciences ahead of politico pro subscriptions but throw another wrench in - where do you rank funding arts and sciences (THE BEST use of tax dollars) vs funding the 10% of NOAA that is on the chopping block?

Why is the President “trolling” people?Because he’s a dumbass. EVERYONE knows that. Can you believe your party lost to him TWICE? Incredible. If only they had unbridled Tim Walz…

Politico Pro is a tool for government workers to do their job better.
US soft power keeps us on top of the mountain.
A healthy nation funds the fine arts. Not military parades.
Just trying to understand your position because it seems to change frequently. Maybe it’s just your general need to make extreme statements. If you were to rank THE BEST USE of tax dollars (which moments ago was arts and sciences), how would you stack:
soft power
politico pro
arts and sciences

The arts and sciences are the best use for tax money.
Sounds hyperbolic. Better use than for hundreds of subscriptions to Politico Pro? You were a strong advocate for that expenditure. Better use than supporting American soft power around the world?
If you start a go fund me for your classical music needs, I will donate. Keep me posted.

I’m talking about over-the-air radio.
Fine arts require extra funding because there’s little to no profit incentive for it. But it still benefits people. Thus, the CPB.
Step into 2025. Over the air radio is dead. Nobody should be forced to pay for it. Classical music can be listened to for free 24/7.
Time to cue/queue up your next outrage. Probably something about farmers or factory workers.

“Some people have two dads, some have two moms”There you go!
Bills tickets can be purchased on the open market from a variety of sellers.
There are no other classical music radio stations.
It’s a market failure, and the CPB fills it.
Classical music can be purchased on the open market at iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify and several other platforms. It can also be listened to for free on YouTube. Why should your headbanging neighbor pay for your listening preferences?

Or, I could have my tax dollars pay for it to be available 24/7 over the air while providing jobs to radio hosts and tech staff and the like.
I would like others tax dollars to pay for my Bills tickets. Is that different? Think of the jobs that would be provided.

Just now, Roundybout said:
A shame there’s no profit incentive to do so on for-profit stations. Oh well. Guess you’re SOL.Oh dear! I might have to pay for my own classical music selections. Fortunately for me, and everyone else, they are available, on demand, for a very reasonable price. Maybe you shouldn’t have pretended to buy that second house and you could afford to pay for your own listening preferences. I guess you feel entitled to have others do it for you.

Can you show me where Big Bird hurt you? Perhaps you’re triggered by classical music, or Antiques Roadshow?I want to listen to classical music. Someone should pay for my ability to do so.

Another post that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Have you been screened for ADHD?Just highlighting your penchant for being over the top. It’s what leads you to say stupid things like “very pleased” and “hardworking husband and father”.

This will be struck down by a judge as usual, but it’s very sad that MAGAs openly hate arts and sciences that make America greatThe arts and sciences will cease to exist without government intervention is an interesting viewpoint. Not hysterical at all.
Did you follow along with the congressional testimony of Katherine Maher? She seems very artsy and sciencey.

It’s redundant, foolish, and embarrassing. There is absolutely no need to do this.
It’s also insane to claim we did “the most to win” WW1 when we didn’t even enter the war until it was nearly over.
Reminiscent of your “doesn’t anyone care about FLAG CODE?” bit. Good stuff.

If Trump has his way, our economy will resemble the USSR.
Yeah, we might have goods made in America, but they’ll be low-quality clones of good brands in the same was Optima was a clone of Olympia typewriters, or Zenit was a low-quality clone of Leica.
No innovation, no competition. There will be no incentive to make goods better for the consumer because firms are artificially propped up by the government.
What a terrible way to live.
To quote you from earlier this week;
“quit with the hysterics”.
