Start the clocks. Do you think they can get a Judge to declare this unconstitutional before the end of the week?

My theory is they'll say that NPR and PBS have the constitutionally protected right to speech and that includes forcing the government to pay for it (as long as they're saying leftist things).

The last non-Muslim population resisting conversion are the Nuristanis. Their genetically related neighbors, the Kalash, had the same religion as the Nuristanis, but were forced to convert to Islam. Here are some pictures of these peoples.

You have it the wrong way around. The Nuristanis converted, the Kalash remained pagans (and exceptionally weird ones at that, look into some of their rituals if you have time).

If someone didn't account for the possibility that line might go down, and keep going down for a long period of time, as it has done in the past. I have a hard time having sympathy for them.

The Boomers were promised unlimited prosperity, by god, and they will have it, no matter how much of their children's futures they have to sell to China and India to get it.

Granted, the Boomers are who promised the Boomers that prosperity, but a promise was made, and they'll see it through, no matter what.

Trump just defunded NPR and PBS

Good, NPR has been a fucking mouthpiece for the DNC for longer than I've been alive. A clearly partisan mouthpiece really doesn't need to receive government funding unless they are providing a public service of some kind, which they really aren't other than propagandizing to pump out more shitlibs. NPR has been funded to turn many American citizens into basically fucking Canadians and every single fucking time I have accidentally tuned my radio and stopped on that station, it's some motherfucker speaking softly through his nostrils about how the latest album from Kabwumpwee Djibouti [featuring baboon sounds and banging on bongos] is really quite genius and is a poignant commentary on the absurdity of being a Republican.

PBS is less bad but I could take 'em or leave 'em, only thing is they'll pull the same shit they did with Mitt back in 2012 and claim that Trump is personally shoving Big Bird against a brick wall and putting the gun barrel to the back of his neck. I like Big Bird but Sesame Street has been trash ever since Elmo arrived, I was glad when Larry David tried to strangle that little red bastard. Grover's okay too I guess.

As others have said this will probably be blocked due to some ruling or injunction that it's unconstitutional to make government-funded broadcasters do... SOMETHING that is in the aim of public good rather than just hosting a bunch of breathless retards talking through their nose about how bad the orange man is.

What exactly is impounding and how is what Trump is doing not that when he says "do what I want or I cut the gibs" to the states/universities?
 
CPB is separate from NPR and PBS. CPB funds local public station operations and programming. Getting rid of CPB won't do anything to larger city PBS and NPR affiliates, but it will likely result in a bunch of tiny rural stations going dark. Those rely much more on federal funding since they don't have the viewer/listener base to support operations and don't have the cash to produce their own programming for most of the day

heck yeah, what a crime. While we’re at it, the government should tax me to put these shits that people ALSO don’t use anymore back up on everyone’s roof

Good thing he didn't rid of the CPB then. He just told them not to give money to stations to buy programming from NPR and PBS. They can still buy programming from other sources.
