    You think that those organisations won’t suffer because of the Coronavirus?

    Funny how the past few days conservatives have been claiming the Pelosi and the Democrats were trying to force all manner of pork into the stimulus bill. With 5 Republican Senators out with the virus, the Democrats hold all the cards yet the emerging bill is nothing like what conservatives have been claiming. How does that egg feel, all over your face.

    What in the hell are you talking about?

    The reason the bill that emerged included very little of the progressive Christmas list is because Nancy caved, and she abandoned her massive, ridiculous pork barrel... for now.
    You are astonishingly misinformed.

    Where do you get your information from? Portland Antifa's twitter feed?

    It should be permanently illegal for the government to give planned parenthood anything.

    We can't afford anything in this bill the whole thing should be scrapped and never considered again. And this had better be a once and only event in our nations history.
    Trump could very well be right that the steps we are taking to stop this virus could be worse than the virus itself.

    With any kind of luck Trump will veto it. I realize Congress wants people to think they are helping the nation but they aren't rescuing anything. I doubt we will have the luck, however. Hysteria will win out.

    It should be illegal for federal government to make payments to any private sector organization unless they want to buy something from it.

    Isn't this a Senate Bill?

    Right. Chump change... Just like the tax cut for hard working Americans were crumbs according to the same dimwits.

    That money could have given 100,000 more workers $1,000.00. Do you really care that much about art or watching your party hold up American lives for it?

    Don't worry some Leftist will piss in a jar, toss a baby Jesus in the jar and call it "art".

    Exactly. Their demeanor is exactly like the demeanor of the parents who give their kids whatever they want so it'll shut them up, because they're too busy to teach their children responsibility, therefore the children never really mature.. Just take a look at how those still hanging around in the DNC act.

    Yes. It was the democrat members that demanded the pork. Shameless.

    I, along with one or two others I suppose, have always been okay with support of the arts. However,I have never supported democrat corruption of emergency legislation in a time of crisis or democrats' pathetically feeble attempts to co-opt out of context as their own the values of people who really can't stand them for their corruption of everything toward their horribly out of bounds agendas.

    I hope for dissolution of the democrat party for good.

    Pelosi can go program for Biden.

    Forgiving student debt is still a waste. Some posters only support it because it came from the ragwads in the DNC. They have no idea how to work money.

    Oh he disappeared for a few months... He'll do the same this time, too.

    They're already covered if they do. That's what this whole thing was about. But maybe they should be excluded now since they got their very own stimulus.

    Not me

    Arch Stantons post which I was responding to with my first reply.

    He would be vetoing a Senate Bill of the majority Republican Senate.

    I bet they have to close it down because of Corona.
    Closed museum is no income.

    And you know. Unless you like to see random people looting that museum.... it just needs security and building maintenance etc.


    I am aware that Americans don't have much culture,
    and even less interest in looking at culture.
    But still. Some people like it. Though.
