Lol bull****. The Democrats wanted to give hundreds of millions to the Kennedy Center, National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, and Corporation for Public Broadcasting with no oversight. How does any of that help "the people that will actually struggle"? At least the hotel industry and airlines have large enough workforces to justify "bailouts" to some extent.

If you want to talk about context, at least get all of the facts straight. I personally think a lot more money should have just gone to individual checks and Unemployment. But both the Republicans and Democrats agreed that certain industries need the bailouts and that a lot of small businesses need the money too.

Pelosi wanted to spend money on a lot of stupid **** that had nothing to do with the people, but IDK how many democrats are involved in that. But she did at least try to give the people more and expand who gets what.

They all can suck my balls. I'm team Bernie. I'm his toilet paper just as you're Trump's toilet paper but Bernie's ******* is cleaner which is miraculous because he's an old old man.

Sesame Street had celebrities on all the time. The best one was Mel Gibson.

It's been longer than that. The right wing talk radio people have always been super jelly of PBS and NPR.

Which reminds me. Does anyone know a free online crossword site that doesn’t run music or anything? My chess game also plays stupid music so with just one device I can’t keep Spotify running and play chess either.

You can just mute the tab. Or if you're using an app often there's a settings for the sounds; the chess app I use has an option to turn the sound off.

I cut the sound but I still can’t run Spotify on my 5s. I could listen to a record though...
