They’ve sent them a ton of $$$ with other ‘relief’ bills pre-covid. How about sending them money that is more direct and transparent vs jammed in some relief bill or keeping the gov’t open bill or etc ? It does get private donor $&& too, but tons if gov’T donations and sends huge $$$ to DNC as donations. I know you know the deal, your just battling to battle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to hear their fucking answers why they wanted this. "People are going hungry and need money for rent and utilities" That is all you will hear from them. I guarenfuckingtee no one here is for the foreign pork and any other bullshit that isn't for Covid relief.

Not everything has to make money. It’s like USPS - it’s a service and doesn’t need to make money. Same with the arts. Most of these fucks would prefer to live in an environment made entirely of right angles and straight lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Also in the bill, larger penalties for violations of copyright for streaming content. Super important that the entertainment lobby get their shitty agenda smuggled into the relief package. I'm with Ben. Burn it down and start over with a constitutional amendment limiting bills to one agenda item only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
