Small ball concessions regarding the arts.

More idiotic is denying funds to restock our oil reserves at todays lower price. Their unbelievably petty demands that none of Trumps extended family can apply for loans to help keep their staff at their hotels.

Politicians, bureaucrats and the vast army of ideologues and cronies in DC realize that this is a once-in-a-lifetime, historical, golden opportunity to rob the country blind.

Evil is dumb. It's also a once-in-a-lifetime, historical, golden opportunity to expose the DC pigs at the trough.

Millions are now home with nothing better to do than to pay attention to the politicians, bureaucrats and the vast army of ideologues and cronies in DC, haha.

"...how much money is being given to Planned Parenthood..."

I think (hope) that would be a no-go zone for Trump.

You are exactly right. The Republicans are happy to be in the back seat letting the Dems do the driving.

And thus it will always be. Unless, of course, conservative voters finally decide they’ve had enough of the GOP and form a new party that actually represents them.

Thanks for this. There is something to be said for ultra-perceptive hotheadedness.

That was proposed by Pelosi, unless it is in the revised bill then this is not a true post

They don’t care! The republicans are very comfortable in the minority.

Truth. It's their preferred status.

Our government is vile. Many belong in prison. Many belong hanging. Most should be nowhere near making decisions in this country.

Why does the Kennedy Center need government subsidies? They have famous people performing there frequently and many DC elites are always in the audience. It the place can’t support itself it should be allowed to fail and close down.

This need never have happened if petulant Paul Ryan and 40 of his cronies hadn’t decided to “retire”.

Why does the Kennedy Center want more government money? So that it can continue to pay overblown salaries for mediocre performances that fewer and fewer people want to see. I used to have season tickets to the National Symphony Orchestra, and went often to the ballet and opera there. Finally I got tired of paying $25 for parking on top of inflated ticket prices for truly second rate performances. If it weren’t for tourists and visiting school groups, the place would close. The NSO have some of the highest paid musicians in the country, but they usually just play their notes and mail it in. The struggling Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is far better and gets my money these days. Sometimes, the BSO is so much better they make the NSO sound like a high school marching band.

They are like every other business. Kennedy Center was a profitable operation, I buy tickets to stuff there; they are now forced by government to be closed, so I don’t have a problem with them being compensated for this.

I had a concert in June to go to, I’m hoping it will be back open by then.

Veto it unless every penny of pork is stripped out of it. Trump should go on television and address each item of pork line by line to the American people to let them know what the democrats are doing while Americans suffer.
