Trump signs executive order directing federal funding cuts to PBS and NPR
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order aiming to slash public subsidies to PBS and NPR as he alleged “bias” in the broadcasters’ reporting.
apnews.com
This Executive Order came 56 years to the DAY that Fred Rogers plead his case for continued PBS funding to a senate subcommittee containing politicians that contained some empathy, decency, and integrity. They listened as Mr. Rogers made it clear that PBS was important, and also how much he cared about children, their feelings, their lives and their education the world over.
Today's cadre of politicians would not hesitate to interrupt, deride, decry, and ultimately deny him the funding he was pleading for, all while FOX and Newsmax mocked and insulted him on-air (FOX once called Mr. Rogers "evil", after all). Meanwhile, the POTUS and other politicians and pundits would absolutely torch him on social-media. They'd absolutely call him a far-left wing lunatic and probably a groomer. Unlike the people sitting on that subcommittee 56 years ago, they have no decency, or integrity, or empathy, nor do they have any shame.
Fred Rogers has been dead for 22 years now, and it shames me to say that I'm glad he's not alive to see what this country has become.

What does he want to change it to, "Suckers and Losers Day"?
Victory Day. Because all we do here in Trump's America is win.
Victory Day is already a holiday, although only Rhode Island still recognizes it. (Because it was originally Victory Over Japan Day and everyone else realized it was probably in bad taste to celebrate nuking two cities.)
I don't see this reported in many places yet. It's worth keeping an eye on:

It is a little strange that neither D Day, V-E Day, nor V-J Day are recognized as national holidays in the US. I've said before that World War II was literally the only war the US has ever fought were they were unambiguously the good guys. Maybe the issue is that there are too many dates to choose from as the one that matters enough to be the holiday's actual date.
Do any European countries observe V-E Day or D Day as national holidays? I feel like they would.

We were both guys in the Civil War; that's why it was a civil war.
And World War I was just a huge dick-waving contest between rulers who were hopelessly out of touch about the realities of modern warfare, and who adopted a good-guy-bad-guy narrative after the fact. We would have stayed out of it if one of those rulers hadn't made the dumb mistake of waving their dick at us. The narrative that there were good guys and bad guys was made up after the fact by the side that happened to win, as is often the case.

I get that take. Still, didn't the US enter to help our better friends?
We entered because we caught Germany sending a telegram to Mexico saying "Hey, come fight on our side and if we win, we'll do a victory lap around the US and win you back the land they just took from you." I don't think we particularly cared about anyone on the other side of the pond at that point.
