Ok so I want to know. WTF is up with the okay hand gesture. I know some people are saying some white supremacists have hijacked it for covert signaling or something? Is this an actual thing? I don't understand how that would have started. p1: *Gives okay symbol* p2: Cool so everything is ok. p3: No, no, no. It really means white power.  It seems somehow both absurd and a thing. I am unironically dumbfounded. How did this even start? It honestly looks like a lot of people playing the circle game. syntaxrigger fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Mar 18, 2019 |

CAPS LOCK BROKEN posted:Given that NPR is a koch funded joke that puts out disingenuous hitpieces on good things like SSDI it should probably be defunded and left to fend for itself. A traditional public broadcaster charges all radio and TV havers a license fee to fund programming. NPR is charity radio that begs its listeners for money while relying on huge grants from billionaire foundations. You realize that the reason NPR turned to outside funding is because the Republicans have been doing this poo poo for decades? The correct answer is to restore their funding so that they are not reliant on billionaires to pay the bills. Good fact based media serving the public's interest is a good thing.

This is such a vague statement that it is essentially meaningless, NPR has been reliant on billionaire foundations for decades even before the GOP threatened to cut them off entirely. Take a look at their 2001 list of annual and new initiative funders: almost all of them are corporations or private foundations The correct answer is to assess an annual license fee for every TV and radio you own and use that to pay for public media, not funneling a token public subsidy to the corporation for public broadcasting that then doles it out in grant form. Other than a brief period during the Reagan administration, funding for the CPB has gone up over time too.

Why is it always "I'm suing for a Eleventy Billion Kajillion dollars". Come on people, make your claim vaguely credible. All these ludicrously inflated claims do is signal your an idiot with no case. I mean even if Nunes is just doing this whole thing just for publicity or as part of some grift he needs attention for, show some goddamn restraint.

[url]https://www.adl.org/education-and-resources/resource-knowledge-base/hate-symbols?cat_id[153]=153[/url] If you look at these there are a few that are similar to the "OK" hand gesture. Lots of them use two hands but I've seen skinheads and neo nazis use the one-handed OK symbol before or something extremely close to it. It's total speculation but I'd guess that some actual Neo Nazis or people associated with Nazis who had seen the gesture before got other people to do it, telling them it was a "joke" and "just a regular OK hand gesture to trigger the libs" but racists actually do use it as signal. Since they're white, racist shitbags joking that you're doing "white power" hand gestures when you're advocating for some variation of a white ethnostate (or backing people who do) then it isn't really much of a joke. e:the stupid brackets are messing with the link and i dunno how to fix it thin blue whine fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Mar 19, 2019 |

There is no "going back" because this what the GOP is and has been for more than a decade now. The Reagan Republicans and Neo-Cons are long gone. All that's left is a handful of dyed-in-the-wool ideologues, surrounded by an army of grifters.

quote:and even falsely stated that Nunes has "herp face" quote:4. Nunes’ career as a United States Congressman is distinguished by his honor, dedication and service to his constituents and his country, his honesty, integrity, ethics, and reputation for truthfulness and veracity.  quote:5. In 2018, during his last re-election for the 22nd Congressional District, Nunes endured an orchestrated defamation campaign of stunning breadth and scope, one that no human being should ever have to bear and suffer in their whole life. Unlike prior elections, where Nunes won by sweeping majorities, Nunes won on November 6, 2018 by a much narrower margin, receiving 52.7% of the 222,379 votes. [https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/california-house-district-22]. The malicious, false and defamatory statements and relentless attacks on Nunes’ reputation did not stop after he won the Congressional election in 2018. The defamation continues. It must be stopped.

Take a look at their 2001 list of annual and new initiative funders: almost all of them are corporations or private foundations The link you provided talks specifically about how the Republicans started going after CPB immediately after it's creation starting with the Nixon administration. I suggest you actually read the stuff you link, Also something of significance happened in 2000 and again in 2001 that affected the outlook of the organization and that's the period that really corresponds with NPRs decline as a objective source operating in the public's good. Also even if it's public funding has increased the question is has it increased apace with inflation of content costs? Just because it's funding was going up doesn't mean that it was going up enough to alleviate the temptation to go for other revenue sources. Road to hell being paved with good intentions and all. What needs to happen is that the CPB and it's affiliated organizations needs to be banned from accepting large donations from wealthy benefactors and required to operate on federal and small dollar individual donations with sufficient revenue allocated for them to be able to offer programming that is of competitive quality of the corporate offerings. You can be as big an edgelord as you want but the world would be a much darker place if it wasn't for Sesame Street, Mr Rogers and the quality children's programming that came out of public television.

Oh yeah it’s been a 50 year road from the Southern Strategy to steadily dropping dogwhistles into the naked fascism we have now. I’m saying that it’ll be a full generation before they can shift away from the full throttle bullhorn hatred, stupidity, and trolling. The old guard is quickly dying off and has been replaced by too many true believers. They’re stuck with the rage and outrageous partisanship for the foreseeable future. The 2020 election is only going to see a doubling down on it from Republicans, and probably through 2024. All with increasingly rabid primaries decided by an increasingly radicalized base.

The size of the Supreme Court is set by statute (specifically the Judiciary Act of 1869) so any Supreme Court-packing plan requires both the House and the Senate to agree to amend/repeal that law, so it's not going to happen. As to packing lower federal courts, however, he's already doing it. See: the record number of judicial appointments being made in Trump's first term.
