None of that surprises me. That just business as usual for those crooks. They're untouchable and it's our fault.

Republicans love corporate socialism

And the corporate mainstream media refuses to expose this BS

HOUSTON — Hundreds of Houston-area churches received tens of millions of dollars in forgivable government loans during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an analysis of federal records.

As churches shuttered their doors and pivoted from in-person to online-only services, weekly offerings often steadily declined.

It’s why so many places of worship, of many different faiths and denominations, have asked the government for help. KHOU 11 Investigates analyzed CARES Act Payment Protection Program (PPP) data released by the Small Business Administration. We found 233 Houston-area churches received forgivable federal loans of $150,000 or more. The collective total is at least $67 million, but exact figures are unclear since the data only provides a range of the loan, not the actual amount.

Both parties are the same. Only thing they are good at is convincing their minions that the other side is really the problem and they are the solution. Democrats scream the GOP is controlled by Russia. GOP scream Democrats are controlled by communists. So nothing changes or gets better. The same corrupt politicians keep getting reelected even after robbing us blind with PPP. The partisan hacks are so consumed with what they see the other side doing they don't notice that their side is doing the same exact thing.

That is why I listed PPP bailouts from both parties. And those are just obvious bailouts. I am sure most if not all those in Washington cashed in. But connecting the PPP loans to those people is more complicated. And I don't see the motivation by anyone to connect all the dots.

Some people say I am wrong for always voting 3rd party. How can I in good conscience support the corrupt 2 party system?
