    Finally!! -- A New Political Book That Doesn't Coddle Racist Rural White Trump Voters

    Even when he kicked them in the gut with his tariffs they continued to support him. Most of the Trumpers I've talked to actually believe that Trump loves America. Their hearts bleed for this magnificent generous man who is targeted so mercilessly by people who hate America. (You know ... by...

    Findings of Politifacts 1000th tRump "fact check"..

    The crazy thing is that a large portion of his base will say that one thing they love Trump for is his honesty.

    NPR isn't what it used to be.

    On the way to the Post Office I turned on one of my Wisconsin public radio stations. The guest was a dermatologist, talking about dermatological things. The next program was going to be a book reading called Chapter-a-Day. I didn't even care to stay with that long enough to find out what the...

    NPR isn't what it used to be.

    That is one point of view. I don't think it is the majority point of view. It is a public service. America needs to do more investment in infrastructure, not less. I don't think the majority are happy with watching your faction's attempts to pull our institutions down plank by plank so...

    NPR isn't what it used to be.

    Oh yeah, one of Wisconsin's public radio networks plays the BBC overnight. Major service. In Wisconsin, we have have so much public radio that it fills three networks. Some overlap. Our "Ideas Network" is more talk, less music. That's the one with the BBC.

    NPR isn't what it used to be.

    NPR _would_ survive without federal funding. It already receives about 40% of its funding from individuals. Another 20 or so from corporations. Another 10 from foundations. My understanding is that less than 15% comes from various forms of federal, state and local government sources. If...

    NPR isn't what it used to be.

    NPR is biased, but not rabid. However, hyperbole sure is satisfying, isn't it. Enjoy the rush.

    NPR isn't what it used to be.

    I went a long time without listening to NPR. When I was a Republican I was pissed off because they had such a small pool of Republican contributors. I'm thinking of the early 2000s, maybe up into the time of Obama's presidency. For a Republican to get a seat at the table they needed to be...

    LouC here!

    3.3 posts per day for me since my registration date 9 years ago. And this is the political forum that I'm most active on. It's less than one a day on the other forum I post to. There was a third forum where I posted more during those 9 years, but I don't post there at all now. I had great...

    [W;332] What do you think of Canada?

    I easily picked that it's a society we could wish for down here. I hovered over kind, gentle and generous before finally picking that. That's definitely the Canadian dream for me yet I know it's not always the reality. So I also chose "other", and this is my explanation. One eye-opener I...

    Invite Trump for dinner?

    There is fear involved for me. I find it quite frightening that millions of Americans consider the coup-inciting traitor the best president we have ever had and want him back in office to continue his desecration of the America. With drastically fewer restraints to stop him from destroying the...
