Some of Pelosi’s Pork Ends Up in Final Coronavirus Stimulus Bill
What does the coronavirus have to do with the Kennedy Center!?
Why is it so freaking hard for politicians to pass a bill on one subject? Why must they stuff it with so much unnecessary spending? Oh yeah. It’s not their money.
It looks like Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s precious pork snuck back into the coronavirus stimulus bill.
Unfortunately, it’s also the Republicans.
Kennedy Center gets $25 million in the final coronavirus bill.

A lot of people are very interested in this Kennedy Center piece.
Republicans AND Democrats both had money for the Kennedy Center in their bills. https://t.co/0dUXVsHw3m

$75 million in the bill for Corporation for Public Broadcasting, that is PBS and NPR

Here's a gem for the union bosses on page 524. If a medium size business (500 to 10,000 employees) takes the Treasury loan, they can't oppose any union organizing effort. pic.twitter.com/XJyIfy2Jvl

The four hospitals that we (FEMA) are building in NYC at the Javits Convention Center are moving along very well, ahead of schedule. Many additional ventilators also delivered.
All you need to know about this genius is that she’s a senator from the Greens party (not one of the mainstream parties). Home of fruits and nuts. But then I saw whom she replaced; even for a Green, Rhiannon was something else. Compared to her, Faruqi seems sane.
With any luck, some kind arsonist will “accidentally” burn the Kennedy Center to the ground.
No. If that happens, the taxpayers will be compelled to pay for rebuilding it.
At least we could rename it the “Trump Center.”
Kennedy Center: taxpayer-funded facility most taxpayers couldn’t afford to enter for a concert, and likely would be tossed out as riff-raff anyway.
Don’t be a douche. Just because the Democrats supported something doesn’t mean it’s not worth supporting. Also, the Republicans did the same thing in their bill so it’s not even a Democratic Party issue.
Technically, no, but it’s a very good bet. Please explain why you think this is an exception.
You’re not helping your case.
Identify what specifically the GOP did in their bill that you’re objecting to.
How about Boeing’s duplicity with the 737 MAX avionics? Just asking.
Oh, how about cruise lines? A vital national treasure.
Wasn’t holding up funding in January IMPAEACHABLE?
and some people wonder why I said I hope the bills do not pass.
CPB should be zeroed out. But that would be too much like doing the right thing.
Not only should the CPB be zeroed out, but it and all of the local stations should become tax-paying entities that have to meet the terms of broadcast licenses. For far too long the left wing has had a free ride with this system.
If that’s the worst of it then good!!
My recollection is that back when the transcontinental railroads were being built, the one company farthest from government subsidies is the only one to not end in bankruptcies.
Medium sized companies won’t be able to fight union organizing. Boom. Better off folding company and starting over from scratch.
People don’t want unions in the private sector anymore
They are all public for most
Guess these workers were not unionized?

Any Pelosi Pork which ends up as law is a win for Dem obstructionism. Washington’s beloved “compromise” (now helpfully relabeled “bipartisanship”) is a loser for the rest of us.

The US government does not work for the US taxpayer and has not for decades. We need to figuratively burn it all down in November via the ballot box and rebuild it into a government of, by and for the people.
The same goes for all state and local governments.
Caroline Kennedy could have written a check for the $25m. She’s the sole survivor of the entire estate and has to be worth hundreds of millions. That the Kennedy Center wants federal funds is despicable. Where’s Teddy’s widow? She could have chipped in half. Ugh.
We should get back to work and stop this nonsense.
This is an economic suicide pact.
Wake up.
Probably the worst part is that Rep. Senator Carter snuck in the full text of the democrat “Butch Lewis Bill”. If passed, it will serve as a bailout of the Illinois pension system. Look it up; It’s in S.Amdt 1574 SEC. 2: PENSION REHABILITATION ADMINISTRATION
Apologies, down vote not intentional. “Stupid fat fingers…”
Who is Rep Senator carter?
Understatement of the century, today the house was briefly in session, yes three minutes does constitute briefly.
Long enough for them to blow their noses, cough, and then spit on the floor……..
the real question is did Pelosi and Schiff’s vote corruption act sneak back into the bill?
Remember, her original bill has:
1) A Federal ban on Voter ID
2) National Same Day voter registration
3) National vote by mail
4) Mandatory counting of Provisional ballots
5) Extended voting window
6) Nationwide legalization of ballot harvesting
7) A brand new Federal bureaucracy to ensure these rules were enacted and followed by the states.
I’m sure there were other things in there that I missed, but they had everything possible in there to ensure that the 2020 election would be determined by who committed the most voter fraud, and complete Federal level protection of anyone trying to commit mass vote fraud.
Absolutely corrupt.
And all of that can be challenged in the state courts…..?
all this yet I bet NONE of them thought about the ft mcclellan health act

this fked me up for life yet no action ever taken yet during all this virus crap kennedy center gets money and us vets screwed again.
I loved being permanently disabled (both knees) at age of 19 then having to deal with all the neuro/dental/vision/etc issues that hit every person I went through there with.
time to coat the streets red if you know what I mean.
Damn… that tree of liberty is a looking all dried up again.
It’s looking downright parched and thirsty……..
The business loan section is not only reprehensible (aimed at Boeing, I might add), but us patently unconstitutional.
As far as the voter fraud encouragement sections. McConnell sold out the nation.
Veto this pig.
I did not see any notice anywhere, including here, that DJT would have a press conf today. Would have watched had i known. I don’t see it being on the ‘net for replay, not that I know of at least.
Think they are every day about 4:00pm, 4:30pm, or 5:00pm Eastern Standard Time.
Here’s a link.
Go to about the middle of the “red timeline” at the bottom of the YouTube video.
