The core of those provisions were proposed in the Senate in July by Amy Klobuchar, Democrat of Minnesota, and John Cornyn, Republican of Texas.

What a complete waste of money. If the cash was dumped in a fire, at least it would provide a little heat.

>>The money, part of a $900 billion coronavirus relief package, is designed to help the culture sector — from dive-bar rock clubs to Broadway theaters and museums — survive.

How many of the so-called dive bar rock clubs are actually discos? How much of the money is actually going to crooked LiveNation chains and civic venues?

Obviously enjoys DC cocktail parties more than being in Texas. The epitome of a worthless politician but I guess slighter better than his democrat opponent.

Allegedly John Cornyn got more votes in Texas than did Donald Trump.

There is no one who believes any Democrats voted for Cornyn.

It’s clear that some (former?) Democrats voted for Donald Trump.

How many Trump votes ended up getting counted for Joe Biden in Texas?

“Doesn’t matter, it wouldn’t affect the outcome of the election. Hrumph!!”

We need to storm Washington, grab them by the scruffs of their necks and escort them out of government. Every one of them.

Cornyn is now raising money with Bushword for a George P Bush primary challenge against Texas AG Ken Paxton in 2022.

Every cent will go to grease the pockets of bureaucrats with some left over for millionaires.

Right, the feral government should bail out businesses damaged by local policies.

I am embarrassed to say that this POS is my senator from Texas.

Pathetic.

“He has shown his true colors. Needed Trump to get elected and now.....”

Cornyn’s true colors have been known for decades. He is 68 years old and was just elected (rewarded by the people) for another 6 year term. Keep electing the lesser of two evils and you still get evil self serving career politicians who look after themselves.

The US Senate is a club, and Senators are club members first, not representatives of the people. As long as Cornyn stays in the Senate he will take care of Schumer (theaters in NY) and Schumer will take care of him. Expect Cornyn to give the shaft to conservatives in Texas next year when the Dem amnesty program comes up for a vote. After all the conservative voters of Texas will have 6 years to forget the treachery. Plus, in the end they’ll vote for the RINO over another Beto.

>>John Cornyn, Republican of Texas.<<

I did not know Sen. Cornyn helped concoct this crap.

I wrote him a letter a few dayz ago to express my displeasure over the amount of pork and foreign $$$ being slung around with lil regard for American citizens.

Told him he lost my future support...now I know for certain I made the right decision.

All businesses are equal. Some are more equal than others. Depends who they give the kickbacks to.

Not much difference between Democrats and Republicans. Need a new party now, and Trump is the one to lead it.

From the headline I take it that Cornyn has decided to run for president.

Trust me on this. Cornyn wants to be president.

At No time should any part of the entertainment industry ever receive any taxpayer funding, tax credits or any other subsidy.

HOLLYWOOD HATES AMERICA!
