Local travel guru Rick Steves will host a fundraiser for the American Civil Liberties Union on Inauguration Day through his website, saying that the group will probably be busy during the coming Donald Trump administration.

All day Friday, for every dollar you spend at his online travel store, Steves will donate $1 to the ACLU ---SNIP--- Steves also said in the blog post that he canceled his planned trip to the inauguration after it became clear Trump would become president. He endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.

Cut PBS and he can donate part of his salary to that too.

Gingrich had the PBS cesspool in his sights for about a day in 1995, then he crumbled. I pray DJT recognizes the danger of their propaganda.

He’s recently produced a Middle East series. I wondered why he didn’t just tour the Muslim-ravaged streets of Europe, since he made his name as a European tour expert.

“Steves also said in the blog post that he canceled his planned trip to the inauguration after it became clear Trump would become president. He endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.”

Wouldn’t that have been clear on the night of Nov. 8 when she lost, or was he one of these snowflakes who actually thought the election results could be overturned and Hillary would be installed as president? LOL! Jerk!

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ricky gets beheaded by a jihadist some day.

Ricky thinks they are not a problem in Europe; he is kidding himself.

Also, Ricky lives in Seattle...he most feel right at home amongst his fellow liberals.

Rick Steves, a liberal Lutheran.

The liberal branch of Lutheranism has long done things like pay for abortions as part of their healthcare coverage for churchworkers & their family members.

George Tiller, Wichita abortionist, was an usher @ a liberal Lutheran church.

I used to watch PBS for the Britcoms and certain BBC dramas.But no more.And apart from my tax dollars that have gone to fund them (which,hopefully,DJT willstop by Executive order next Monday) I've never given them a dime.

Nah. Anybody who's still watching after his Nation ad and trip to Iran and all the rest won't stop because of this.

FWIW, all those PBS travel guys -- Steves, Rosendo, Maxa, Wolf -- are married (to women) and have children.

I know. It surprised me, too.

It's probably safer to assume that "gaydar" isn't very accurate than to believe that they're all secretly gay.

I hope Trump really can make PBS, NPR, and the rest go private. Big Bird makes plenty of money from merchandising, and Sesame Street has lost all its charm anyway. It’s like watching heavy-handed Soviet art now.

This is a man who travels Europe for a living and writes travel books. Am I supposed to give a damn what he thinks apart from choosing a decent hotel in Chelsea over Knightsbridge? What an ass.

Oh and get this. The actress on Big Bang who plays Amy is another melting snowflake. She pledges to take the oath right along with President Elect Trump tomorrow thinking somehow this will empower her to survive the next 4 years. EDUCATED DOLT!

Dollars to donuts Ricky boy goes the way of the Frugal Gourmet, aka Jeff Smith.
You remember, he used to open his cooking show with a cut from Handel’s Water Music.
He loved reminding his viewers he was a “Methodist minister” of Norwegian descent.

Another west coast lefty who took every opportunity to disparage white Southerns the way ole Ricky disparages Israelis.

Jeff Smith once said white Southerners wouldn’t eat black eye peas because they feared the peas would turn their skin black. Yeah, he said it, I heard it. My jaw hit the floor.

Well, it turns out ole Jeff Smith was busted because of his sex ring with underage boys.

BTW - W,W,WTF is Norwegian food? Reindeer stew? Bread/beer soup? Lichen salad?

same here. there isn’t muzzy he wouldn’t suck up to. He is the closest thing to a fag without being one. If the places he travels through think that he is a typical limp wristed, jelly soft American, they are wrong.
