Mr Payne, your utter lack of a moral compass is flagrantly on display. The Senate Republicans included an obscure provision giving a $170 EFFING BILLION TAX BREAK to real estate developers — a retroactive break that has nothing whatever to do with the coronavirus. Even worse, this tax break had been repealed in the first round of Trumpy tax cuts as a trade-off for expanding other tax breaks. And who are major beneficiaries of this well-hidden but of sleaze? The Trump Organization. Kushner Inc. And Henry Payne is bothered by aid to American cultural organizations. Have you no decency, sir?
Using the question expressed by the staff of the Washington National Cathedral back in 2019, "Have We No Decency? A Response to President Trump, " Henry Payne certainly has no sense of decency!

“The Kennedy Center, they do a beautiful job, an incredible job,” Trump.
“I’m a fan of that,” Trump said of the $25 million funding to the Kennedy center. “I haven’t spent time there because I’m far too busy. I’d love to go there evenings, but I’m too busy doing things.”
$2.2 up to 6 TRILLION in the future, 90% will go to corporates or friends in the end, and the taxpayers take it in the rear, thank the Turtle and Bonespurs.
In 2017, the White House’s National Security Council Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense survived the transition intact. Its mission was the same as when the Obama administration established it after the Ebola epidemic of 2014: to do everything possible within the vast powers and resources of the U.S. government to prepare for the next disease outbreak and prevent it from becoming an epidemic or pandemic.One year later, the White House dissolved the office, leaving the country less prepared for pandemics like covid-19.The U.S. government’s slow and inadequate response to the new coronavirus underscores the need for organized, accountable leadership to prepare for and respond to pandemic threats.In a health security crisis, speed is essential. When this new coronavirus emerged, there was no clear White House-led structure to oversee our response, and we lost valuable time. Health systems are struggling to test patients and keep pace with growing caseloads. The specter of rapid community transmission and exponential growth is real and daunting. The job of a White House pandemics office would have been to get ahead: to accelerate the response, empower experts, anticipate failures, and act quickly and transparently to solve problems. It’s impossible to assess the full impact of the 2018 decision to disband the White House office responsible for this work, but it is clear that eliminating the office has contributed to the federal government’s sluggish domestic response. What’s especially concerning about the absence of this office today is that it was originally set up because a previous epidemic made the need for it quite clear.When asked about the slow roll-out of coronavirus tests in the U.S. on March 13, President Trump responded, “I don’t take responsibility at all.” Trump is not just responsible for it. He owns it The Trump Plague is not just his responsibility. It’s his fault.
Last Friday, I looked up a map of my state to find a county that had no reported cases of the Trump Plague. I had been self isolated for three weeks, so I felt like it was safe that I wouldn’t infect anyone, then drove 40 miles to the grocery store in that county. I’m 75 and have type A blood, so if you think that’s overreacting, I hope you’re right, but I doubt it. I got $200 worth of groceries, should last at least until the end of July.
Then, I noticed a pharmacy tech and asked her " Are there any cases reported here yet?" Her answer: “We wouldn’t know, we have some people we’d like to test, but we have to get the tests from either St Louis or Chicago, and they don’t have enough to test their own people.” So, if you think you are in a Trump Plague free zone, that may be just another one of his lies.

Payne, Trump said that he supported the money for the Kennedy Center. Might have something to do with Melania being on the board.

First glance at this cartoonist. Not subscribing. Very bad drawings overall. Not sure how this got here or who wants this.

Of course, that this bill includes a major tax break for real estate tycoons – like Trump himself – is totally overlooked by the self-righteous Right…
