mstepczyk Wow that's just believable

Disgusting I hope theyre the only ones who did this. I hope someones checking on the funds

Sounds like some Kansas city council members need some time in the hoosegow.

So, any further aid packages better have much tighter controls so that nonsense like this doesn’t happen again.

Finally a 'goal' to 'kick' covid!

Huh?

Yep. That’s my county. Dumbasses.

This is outrageous

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s administration announced Tuesday that it is using federal coronavirus relief funds to pay for a $5 million tourism ad campaign aimed at drawing people to the state, even as it emerges as one of the nation’s top hot spots for COVID-19 infections.

MN spent $6m on a cold storage facility as a “temporary morgue” under governors emergency powers that sits empty. Believe the models that drive continued fear!!

tedcruz JohnCornyn marcorubio realDonaldTrump USTreasury you guys are doing a bang up job managing this program.

This is bad. I heard about from colleague. The vote was 10-2. Dang. This wasn’t the idea for Covid relief. How ‘bout using money to feed and shelter homeless, out of work families? Did you see this?

Talk about Bailing out blue States 🙄🙄🙄 realDonaldTrump

Everybody else scamming fuck it 🤷🏾‍♂️

Why would anyone in Kansas vote republican 😂🤡
