NPR/PBS will get more than 4 billion dollars in a welfare check from the taxpayers over the next ten years. Yet, not much of a discussion about that massive theft from the taxpayers.

If it wasn't for government money Trump would be out of business.

Most business deals are done on a golf course. It's not like President Trump neglecting his job. There are thousands of cogs in the machine that are implementing his policies.

So the recent report that Pompeo on Mulvaney were desperately trying to contact Trump to discuss Ukranian aid but were unable to do so because he was golfing with John Daly qualifies as "dealmaking" and "doing his job," yes?

Not according to a Clinton appointed judge:

That ruling had nothing to do with the merits of the claim or whether they were impeachable offenses. It was based on lack of standing of the Plaintiffs.

Just to get back to the OPs topic for a second...I am only old enough to remember Eisenhower, but I can't think of one president since then that hasn't been criticized about where, and how expensive his vacations were. And if I remember correctly, it is pretty much those from the opposite party that are doing the criticizing. Are we all just always looking for rocks we can throw over the fence at the other side?

In fairness, do you remember any other President attacking other Presidents for the expense/numerosity of vacations before Trump? Did any other President promise the voters he wouldn't have time to golf at all?

This is the difference.

And when Romney said that he was laughed off at the debate. IMHO that was more high-energy than "binders full of women" because he tried to save it with "I love Big Bird." Also mind you that all goes directly to 100+ PBS stations around the country and hundreds more NPR affiliates. We might send 4billion but the stations might get tens of millions each over several years.
