  1. Been seeing this news spreading online and it’s just…depressing 

     

    while this doesn’t mean the end of PBS entirely.  It does mean local radio stations and tv stations in smaller towns will be struggling to stay on the air 

     

    I already threw $5 at my local PBS station earlier this month but I’m hoping more consider donating in the near future 

    A small  monthly donation gives you access to the pbs passport service which allows you to watch a plethora of content from music artwork politics and nature 

    Losing that would be incredibly disappointing as it means one step closer to stuff like Fox News having an even stronger grip on this country

  2.  Barely support the disabled and expect you to live off 2K per month 

     

    can’t believe we jumped through hoops with them for seven years just for that…

    guess that’s the lone star state for you…..feel like I gotta do a lot of stupid crap just to stay afloat 

    GoFundMe…..I’m ashamed to say I’ll be needing that again for the 4K property taxes on the house 

    $2K for the disabled but $4K to pay the taxes on your house 

    This is humiliating…

    you even think about asking them for assistance here and they treat you like you are crazy 

    no joke they once assumed we must be rich because we live on the lake

    here’s the link for my GoFundMe.   Sorry if this seems pathetic.  I posted on Facebook/Twitter but I only get bot responses on there

  3.  maga have led so many folks to think politics are inherently troublesome to discuss and it’s better to avoid talking political discussions entirely 

     

    the problem is politics dictate our lives our society  we can’t ignore them and avoid talking about them 

    Im tired of people thinking you can just pretend politics don’t exist and it won’t bother you

    To be fair, it's hard to get participation for any extra curricular activities here. People say they'll participate then ghost the board indefinitely. 

    Very few hang our here daily like some of us

    Very few hang out here at all….but we got fantasy football going two years in a row 

     

    I thought baseball would be easy.  Guess not

  5. We’re in this situation because politics became such a no no word that people actively started to ignore them…

     

    you can ignore politics but politics won’t ignore you 

    Politics affect everything so the idea you can just turn off political news and avoid it completely is insane

    Yeah, it really pisses me off.

    Democrats are the squeaky clean party that has to play by the rules and expects the justice system to serve the country with honesty 

    meanwhile the republicans break the rules and democrats just let them do it

    as a democrat myself it’s annoying to see the party commonly play the position of push over

    I mean, he didn't exactly say that, but it's pretty disappointing that's all he's got to say about what's going on when it comes to politics right now. I get that he's trying to be apolitical in advance of the big movie he's in coming out, but saying something like that doesn't come off as apolitical really; it just comes off as gutless honestly because there really is no equating the way the left and the right operate anymore at all.

    When his Stance is both sides are corrupt  that’s the same as saying voting for anyone is a vote for a dictatorship so why bother voting at all?

    This isn't Russia and if Trump tries to pull that shit then he's going to trigger a coup

    People keep saying trump can’t possibly get away with what he wants to do 

    whose gonna tell him no? He’s surrounding himself with yes men and so far he’s been able to escape facing any consequences for his actions 

    I doubt that’s gonna change anytime soon 

    trump gets what he wants we’re seeing that as we speak

  9. Putin can make anyone he doesn’t like vanish off the face of the earth and that’s who trump wants to imitate 

    I don’t think we should so easily ignore the fact he wants to imprison and possibly kill those who don’t like him 

    Kill those he Doesn’t like 

    If anyone thinks he can’t touch them  think again.

    Won't affect celebrities either way

    You say that but with trumps presence there’s an increased desire from his party and supporters to commit acts of terrorism against anyone who isn’t a straight white dude

    you think they’ll give celebrities a pass?  I have my doubts
