Government Coup

This is VERY WORTHWHILE to watch IMO, especially the first 35 minutes. It brought me to tears at times. It talks about what is currently going on in our country. It was recorded a few weeks ago.

Thank you, rosa.

I appreciate everyone's support for my husband's medical situation.

Alan, I knew your comment was supporting my husband's political situation. In my family of 6 (10 including spouses) in which he is the only Republican, he needs all the support he can get!

LOL, I knew you'd understand. Loving and being loved by people with differing political views makes us all a little more tolerant of others and fosters an overall better sense of humor. Thank goodness for that!

I have to say this made me laugh. We need to add the “I don’t feel safe” report form.

Need to check out…. medicare cuts and higher prices AND talk of closing 400 “medicare” hospitals. Just heard a blurb….

ETA: Talked of diverting medicare funds to help fund Iran war?

Good news! Judge blocks trump’s attempt to block funding for PBS and NPR!

Does it violate your first amendment rights for the government to not finance your posts in public spaces on the internet, regardless of the reason it gives for failing to do so?

Congress cut funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting which was the major source of funding for individual components such as PBS and NPR. Does it make a difference if the Executive branch instructs departments under its purview such as the Department of Education to also stop using taxpayer dollars to fund some of those individual components?

From a first amendment perspective those broadcast components still have the right to broadcast anything they want so I'm dubious about the idea that public funds must be used to ensure their ability to do so.

wtf? I will have to read the judges reason for blocking this, but it seems ridiculous that we have to continue to give taxpayer money to these organizations. I had not realized that governmental departments were doing it. In addition to the congressional grants. good God.

Yes, it's silly that the government should financially back TV and radio shows. These should be the responsibility of big businesses like pharma, insurance companies, legal firms, and the oligarchs.
