And still increase the deficit by nearly $4 trillion.
I just read about what they’re doing to the student loans as well, and I’m not paying a damn red cent until he’s either in jail or in a body bag. Keep em dumb Keep em hungry Keep em sick Keep em fighting Keep em pumping out a child workforce. That is them in a nutshell.
But ….. but ….. Hunter’s laptop ….. and ….. um …… the birth certificate ….. and ….. uh ….. Benghazi ….. and ….. and ….. the tan suit …. and ….. um ….. OH MY GOD WHAT ABOUT THE EMAILS
Trickle down economics. Reagan's signature piece that is at the root of Americas wealth gap today.
...and to kneecap justice by removing charges of contempt... That's what is the true danger. We are now 110% within full-blown Facism.
👎🤬🤬👿👿
They are throwing back to the states all responsibilities. So now we won’t need to pay federal taxes, we’ll only a fraction of what we used to pay then, just for the military and government expenses.
Such bullshit, but who didn’t see it coming……oh that’s right…..the MAGA cultists. Those are the ones with shit for brains….
Tax the billionaires into millionaires, break up the billionaires price gouging monopolies & destroy the billionaires ultimate weapon against We the People … Citizens United ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿
We better start writing our SENATORS and let them know we cannot live with Medicare cuts either...for some it's our ONLY medical insurance when we face the most health obstacles!
And they will spin it in a way that those specific groups will believe that they actually benefited.
It is time to eat the rich.
Amen !!! Let us begin.....
I haven't heard a better idea yet.
That is just too damn much!
This GOP administration never fails to inform us of their priorities in life.
This budget bill passes, you don't have a plan to do anything, it's already done. When sequestration kicks in, there is not enough money in all those programs to cover what sequestration will demand. This bill ends our entire social safety net and Republicans don't have to lift a finger.
And they voted for it; including the members (12) who wrote a letter opposing the Medicaid cuts. All 12. Ignored their constituents. Betrayed them instead of #47. Remember them in November next year. We will remind everyone, to be sure!
Watch SNAP food prices skyrocket.
I've seen plenty of reporting on the Medicaid and SNAP cuts but virtually nothing about the $500 billion this budget cuts from Medicare. Wonder why that is?
The exact opposite of Robin Hood. Maybe call him Robin Grinch?
Or Robin Hoodlum
Ty for including Medicare. I have been feeling like I was living in my own little reality here.
👇Last time tRump was POTUS we got this shit. Now he wants to RAISE the DEBT ceiling and give MORE TAX BREAKS TO THE RICH and spend more on the military too.
Sounds fair 🙁
I think "grifters" is far too mild a word. Pillagers would be more appropriate.
The GQP is always trying to do that! Their motto is “Let them eat cake!”, which was attributed to Marie-Antoinette.
When there’s enough rage the people will take it back. Until then, wallow in self pity.
@papst-ny.bsky.social
Yeah, this makes a lot of sense. This is all sure discouraging!
So far the plan is proceeding.
$500B taken out of Medicare $500B taken out of Medicaid and SS
The GOP budget bill also strips courts of power to hold Trump and officials in contempt for defying court orders. This is how democracy dies—by design, and buried in fine print.
Yup, Jess, it's time to March. They are going to kill the poor. Project 25
They are not planning it they are doing it. Dangerous times.
Yes 😪
That's for you to learn then you vote for 💩 they make 💩. You voted now eat your 🍰 🤔💩
Arrest all Republicans
Does Fox want this crap to pass?
Republicans are just mean and rotten people who hate everyone who isn't rich. Soulless zombies need to be voted out!
A revolution is required
Hope I don't lose my health care. Probably die without medication.
And a plane for Frump that will cost 1B (which will take a couple of years to refurbish as Frump's Air Force Scam) and 165 million/year in maintenance. Plus the cherry on top is the 96 million vanity parade. They have no shame. Shame on the American people for wanting food and healthcare.
Sociopathic cosplayers
Raise those SALT deductions so Blue State's that pay all the bills simply pay what the Federal Government used to return to them. Red States simply collapse.
GREEDY ASSHOLES .
I guess they know how to get elected. That points an accusing finger at the system more than the players. The system needs to change and complaining about billionaires will not solve the problem.
Been doing since Reagan.
And your Children are no longer considered "dependents" past age SEVEN! Good thing they're doing away with child labor laws, and schools because your 8 yr old is going to have to get a job! MF!! 🤬
Done now it goes to the senate!
I am less and less surprised and shocked
No, they're playing good cop bad cop .... The Senate will water this down and tell everyone how bad it coulda been 😉👌
No, they WILL.
Wait! They lied?
I hope voters see why Congressional Republicans call the bill BEAUTIFUL. Gutting Medicare & Medicaid BEAUTIFUL Cutting VET benefits. BEAUTIFUL No SNAP for kids. BEAUTIFUL Historic cuts to health insurance. BEAUTIFUL More money for billionaires. SO BEAUTIFUL Pleasing Trump & not you. BEAUTIFUL
They get the private airplane trips, tickets to sporting events, grift of all kinds...stuff that costs the billionaires essentially nothing because it's like half a percent of their income which is 100 times more than ours, and we get sick and die.
I'm curious to learn the number of Republican voters who are on Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP. How many will get kicked in the teeth by the effects?
🤬
We paid for Medicare out of our paychecks. I expect a whopper of a refund
😡
I’m so ashamed of my country right now. I just keep thinking, surely they don’t want the embarrassment of killing off our sick, elderly, have our elderly begging for food in the streets, the shame of sending our most vulnerable away to countries they’ve never been to… But apparently, our place…
…on the world stage is of little concern to them. Shame is an emotion they don’t have. Nothing but greed, corruption, robbery, thieving, and deception. They’re robbing us blind, taking away protections, and putting America last on the world stage. With 47, the US will be a 3rd world country.
Comes a day, you chickenshit GOP grifters, haters of ordinary Americans, and Felon Trump/GOP butt kissers, you will roast your sorry asses in Hell. I ain't no evangelical bastard, just an old man, a veteran, who has been down the road man times. And survived. You will not survive, Pendejos y Caca!
2026, we must 86 47s agenda!
You know when the police state is feeling its confidence when they say 'fy to the least of us' and 'hell yes' to those who already have nearly all of it.
CAGOP California GOP prison industry passed the bill.
You did it again America ... Congratulations.
How morally bankrupt do you have to be to willfully cause the suffering and death to swaths of people, just so those who already have so much can have even more? It's obscene.
It’s🤬’g criminal!!!👀🙆🏼♂️😖🤬
Yes. It is.
🙆🏼♂️😖🤬
The CBO found it would reduce income for the poorest 10% of US households and boost income for the top 10%.
they are no -planning- they are doing it - and - because there is no coverage -general public is unaware of the -tax scam- that these bunch of Maga traitors are doing- --I so please be informed and act accordingly-Protest-
Honestly, Medicaid wouldn't be needed if we had a national universal healthcare system. So we need more support for Medicare for All to end this broken system!
Not going to happen as long as one republican or Fox News viewer is on the planet.
We have universal health care in Canada and whenever people complain about it I'm like STFU. They have no idea what life would be like without it and only need to look to the south. You should have it already, but I fear you never will :(
Damn I wish my family came to Canada instead. They cut off immigrant’s healthcare and food stamps. We can’t work jobs. Can’t go to school. I don’t even know how I’m surviving. I’ve been living out my car this entire year.
private insurance companies are nothing more than expensive middle men.
Yes—health care should be a human right. So should housing, food, education, and safety. These aren’t luxuries. They’re the foundation of dignity. A just society doesn’t ration survival. It ensures it—for everyone. Anything less is systemic violence. #Endtimesfascism
People keep saying they would welcome the old Republican Party back. Well, the "old" Republican Party, just like the current one, considered the necessities of life as commodities to be priced and sold to those who with money. The "old" Republican Party still wanted to kill the safety net.
The "old" Republican Party didn't agree anyone but the most visibly obvious cases was disabled and unable to work. The "old" Republican Party wanted everyone to "get a job." The "old" Republican was just as racist. The only real difference is the "old" Republican was more eloquent and better masked.
Yeah, the same republican party that is only in session for 120 days are telling disabled people to get a job..
Exactly. The “old” Republican Party didn’t oppose the cruelty— it just spoke it with polish. Same hierarchy. Same worship of greed. Same disdain for care. The only difference now? The mask is gone. And the death logic is proudly on display. #EndTimesFascism #Greed
The old Republican Party also sent my friends overseas to die for oil and privatized vendettas. The old party is getting what they’ve always championed for? I don’t understand why we think MAGA is any different. It’s just more blatant.
History shows that the poor tend to fritter away their money on food, clothes, shelter, healthcare, & education while the rich spend money on necessities like golden toilet seats, space rides, 100 foot yachts, & social media where they can lie nonstop. See?
110% correct . What type of society has Thatcherism and the Free Market economy created . One devoid of the every day essentials to have a secure existence.
Exactly. Thatcherism, Reaganomics, austerity— they didn’t fail. They succeeded in building a society where scarcity is policy and suffering is priced in. Naomi Klein calls it what it is: End Times Fascism— a death cult wrapped in market logic. 📖 Read the blueprint #NaomiKlein #Necropolitics
How to get there; yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/sor...
100%. That’s why we’re building Caelora, a network where care isn’t conditional. Housing, food, mobility, and safety aren’t rewards. They’re the baseline. We don’t reform the system. We replace it with memory, design, and shared stewardship.
That's a jump. How about beginning with voting for Democrats in Congress? That would be a one small step for voters but a giant step for mankind.
In a newspaper, there would be a list of billionaires, & all the people who benefit from this heinous bill, instead of paying their share. I miss newspapers.
😡
Isn’t that what the Americans who usually vote against their own interests voted for? It’s time to stop blaming low information Americans for voting the way they do ‘cos no one is an island and locked up in the basement of their homes. We all should take the blame of what is happening to our country
And they're slipping in a couple of clauses to give the president dictatorial power. Why the mainstream press isn't commenting on this I have no idea.
88% of current Congress identify as Christian.I would ask each one of them publicly”what would Jesus say?”about this fucking budget you just voted for?Jesus had a lot to say re: compassion,loving your neighbors AND GREED in fact these are core beliefs.Are they Christians or not?Reconcile this for us
We need to start looking at our state statutes and recalling representatives who stand in the gap for greed and corruption opposed to their constituents.
Don't have a problem with Christians but I do with Christian Nationalists.
So much winning
😡
The Deficit Building Billionaire Budget Bill. Another step by Radical Right Republicans to destroy America. Explode the deficit. Cut services to regular Americans. Punish the poor. Codify corruption. This is disgusting and the entire GOP should be fired and held accountable. #impeachtrump
And the House passed the big pile of streaming shit bill in the wee hours of the morning.
Yeah ... I think their answer is going to be : KILL THEM OFF.
I wonder how much was earmarked for security services for those billionaires?
Too much I'm sure
OUT f-ing RAGEOUS!!!
But they pay zero taxes already! How can something be reduced from zero? This is just out and out theft.
#MAGAMurderBudget
Cuts to the social safety net so that the wealthiest can receive a Tax Cut. Robber Barons. Class warfare never ends well for either side of the divide...
They're killing babies. Cannot forget that we have to vote them out
They plan 😂😂 they already have done it. 99% of America is just too fucking dumb to see it.
It is just more "Welfare For The Rich."
GOP WANTS people too hungry & sick & dumb to fight! Price me wrong.....I'll wait.
GOP Haters!
I bet every senator is being promised a flight on Espionage One as a reward for passing this.
Thanks a lot, MAGGOTS!
Congressmen can represent their constituents if we make our voices loud and call every day so they know we’re not lazy and complacent. Tell them you do not accept cuts for the majority to pay more for the already obscenely wealthy!!
Well, now we need to call the Senators specificaly.
Yes! I just looked up mine for my state.
This is what happens when you vote republican.
Yet Fox News spins it so half the voting population has no clue. I was out over the weekend, in a venue with mostly GenZ as well...they are not aware. Not at all.
Yes, they are actually thinking that the GOP is helping them. It is so sad
TRUMP is still running ads on YouTube and streaming channels about how he's the "protector and defender" of Medicaid. What fucking Alternate Universe are we living in?
It blows my fucking mind how ANYONE is ok with this shit.
GOP-MAGA is a death cult. They are the most sadistic, godless zombies. Giving the ultra rich money to buy islands and letting Americans not have Medicare or Medicaid. Letting children starve. May they all go to the hell they deserve.
There is a provision in the bill that makes silencers tax-exempt, and you don't have to register them. Check out Republicans Crumble at live hearing as scam exposed. Medias Touch
And take power away from the courts. If passed, we will have a king
www.tiktok.com/@nickmuller7...
It seems obvious now, that the GOP doesn't plan on having to compete in another election. At least not one in which everyone affected by this insane bill will be allowed to vote.
Jess, I wrote to our Rep late last week about cuts to Medicare and Social Security and he responded with assurances that they would not be cut. Lying again!
Its being planned yes. It hasn't gone through yet. The senate has to approve it.
This reverse Robin Hood budgeting has been slowly eroding us toward a feudal society since the Reagan administration. Using race and religion to pit “half the working class against the other half” is a conservative theme I believe dating back to the last robber baron age.
Sad but true
30% of the voters voted for them, 30% didn't even bother to go out to vote, see where is the problem? I hope those MAGAmorons and those who didn't bother to vote learn the lesson when they lose their benefits.
How about the little thingy they buried in there about "You can't charge the president with anything if he refuses to follow court orders"? (Bet you a donut most people reading this don't even know about that one!)
I definitely read that: it’s why I’m even more anxious about these courts blocking things: if that goes through, it will mean he has fused two branches into one. We’re already a fledgling autocracy…that will be the push over the edge.
Exactly. They are banking on it being obscured by all the hyperventilating this morning.
So be a mensch then, and repost the fuck outta THIS if you would, and ask others to do so as well, please:
I will explain it to them: the Supreme Court established former presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for acts performed during their core constitutional powers and duties. A Free- Get- Out- Of- Jail- Card.
But it wasn't as much of a blanket immunity as that. Roberts slyly left the door open for activities that would not be considered "presidential business"; the idea being that Trump could just call everything "presidential business" and TRY to get away with it. This closes that loophole.
" Absolute immunity pretty much means blanket immunity. Yes, anything the person does in his personal life can be criminally prosecuted. If he murders his wife, or bludgeons his caddy he can be prosecuted after he is out if office.
Oh. You really think he intends to leave? You ain't seen nothin' yet. Caveat though: My beer money is on Trump's going to vege-out or die before 2028 and if that happens, there won't be a charismatic clown to lead his cult anymore. Whoever replaces him will be vulnerable as hell UNLESS... (contd)
... his replacement understands that, decides "We ain't playin' anymore" and simply flips the board over He declares martial law, calls out the Proud Boys and ICE, disappears white folks with bad attitudes and the United States becomes a full-blown police state with no mind to how we feel about it.
I agree. But I do see hope in Democrats taking the majority in the House. I also see a glimmer of hope with Barrett and Kavanagh in matters unrelated to Christianity. Gorsuch even surprised me in the last two affirmative decisions. Roberts may be considering his legacy more than his wife's bonuses?
Our concern in the midterms should be convincing the Red State Stupids not to vote mindlessly for any rabid rodent with an "-R" after his name. Good luck! Our concern AFTER winning the midterms is if the electorate once again gets to see the Democrats effecting no substantial change in their lives.
You don't really don't want me to list the Democratic legislative reforms which have improved the daily lives of working American famiies, do you?🤣🤣🤣🤣
Legislative change is incredibly slow especially now with the abuse of appealing every change ( except for Trump, SCOTUS has paved a speed ramp to their court room.) If people just watched their local gov they 'd know how hard it is to change a simple ordinance or approve a truck load of gravel.
Never strategize on converting MAGAs to win an election. Regardless of the pain & suffering inflicted by MAGA politicians. The strategy is to convince new voters and voters who didn't vote to elect democrats in the midterms. Concentrate on Congressional districts' new voters & unregistered voters.
Based upon the breakneck speed at changing our democratic Constitutional government & serving the causes of his shadow presidency, they need to get as much done as fast as possible in case he only stays in power for 4 yrs. Especially, to finish up before the midterms in case he loses Congress.
I'm sorry but I believe at this juncture if you're not cynical as hell (like me!) you're destined to be dog food. And that there will be another president installed before 2028 who will not worry his pretty little head about "voters". He won't have to pretend everyone loves him. He'll just RULE.
We're talking newsrooms invaded, politicians arrested along with more judges, the whole "totalitarian" schmear. You may remember this attitude from when they did a dry run on dictatorship during Bush II: (contd)
"... we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do"
I'm guessing this quote is Breyers?
Who are you quoting?
You are speaking to a person who has been said to have Diogenes Syndrome. I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't cynical. It's my reflective defense system.
No "presidential business" in the Decision. In fact it says presumptive immunity in the "broader scope of duties", which is a way to say presidential business.
" this act includes presumptive immunity for official acts within the broader scope of their duties." " PRESUMPTIVE " pretty much closes any loopeholes. Presidents don't have immunity for unofficial acts. I guess that covers anything be does with his pants off or a golf club in his hands?
Nope, you weren't paying attention! "Presumptive" BY WHOM? Trump? Like he's gonna say "Oh I took that $400M jet and the courts decided it wasn't an official act so I guess I have to return it"? Everything he wants to do is presumptively an official act to Trump! But now if the courts say No, tough!
Let me be even more silly and reductive: If Trump really does shoot a man on 5th AV, before this a court could, of course, step in and say "Nice try big fella. You're under arrest!" Now, Trump calls shooting a man on 5th AV an "official act" and no court is allowed to speak. It IS that bad.
Yes, it is that bad to give absolute immunity from criminal prosecution to a convicted felon and a legally confirmed business fraud to a man living behind a presidential seal of approval. SCOTUS annointed organized corruption in federal government.
Absolutely the word, presumptive, in the text is assigned to the actor, who in the overall context is a president. If a president acts on the basis of a probability the conduct is performed within the Constitutional power and/or presidential duty, he/ she has immunity from criminal prosecution.
"If a president acts on the basis of a probability the conduct is performed within the Constitutional power and/or presidential duty..." You have still not specified WHO DETERMINES the situational probability nor have you indicated whether all situations fall under an assumption about probability.
"To presume" is to act on the basis of a probability. It is the very definition of the word. It was used purposefully as a loophole for a presidential defense not a loophole for a prosecution against a president.
I still want a constitutional lawyer like Marc Elias or somebody to weigh in on this. I still think any presidential defense of anything was stealthily rendered moot by Sec. 70302. Even if we don't see it in lights yet.
Pick a quarterback who has actually played in the NFL to win a Superbowl.
I can't find a case Marc Elias has argued before SCOTUS. Neal Kaytal is also an excellent constitional lawyer. He has appeared before SCOTUS 52 times.
And you get a tax credit if you own a tanning bed.
And no tax on silencers.
Well at least the tanning bed in the guest house on my estate is getting that tax break! Come by some time! We'll drink mimosas and discuss how we can pressure our congresscritters to eliminate the Estate Tax by one vote!😎
No, so that we have no choice but to offer our lives to them. The tax cuts are just the means to the end of owning us.
They can cut their payroll for their jobs. Trump said he would fix things with his money so hold him to it
YOU GOT TO BE SH*TTING M8
And add a "I am King" clause for Trump...
🤬🤬🤬🤬
It seems as if Medicare is something workers and self-employed paid into at the same time as Social Security. Medicare is my money too. DO NOT STEAL FROM THE POOR AND GIVE TO THE RICH.
If those who are representing red states go along with this crap they had better find a new home as the red states rely on health care .
Why are they giving tax breaks to the wealthy when they already don't pay federal taxes?
Take from the needy and give to the greedy= The GOP’s slogan
Not a plan anymore! Just become reality! Take from the poor and give to the rich! How can the R’s expect people to assemble cell phones for them, if there sick, starving & have to walk to the factory??🧐
If it’s Thursday, it must be the One-Minute Political Update Podcast! Episode 90: GOP Says Rich Need More $$$, DOJ Says Racist Cops Don’t Need Oversight Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Mortify, the platform for fans of comedian Sahl. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... #Trump #Budget
Vote all republicans out of office. End of story.
They know that losing an election now means prison. They have broken more laws than we can count. They won't allow themselves to lose power that way. The only way we will get rid of these fascists is if we drag them into the streets and get rid of them ourselves. Get ready. Fascism is here now.
Aren’t MAGAts using these programs?
Yup...and we are going to let them do it! Ugh!!
Oh how kind of them.🖕🏻
Tried to tell the folks that Felon 47 couldn't be trusted.
Filibuster is the only hope but Schumer is a tRump agent
Maga please explain to me why 1 person who makes your yearly salary every hour needs more of your money.
And Missouri Republican politicians just repealed paid sick leave and minimum wage increase that was passed overwhelmingly by voters in November. I expect Rep. Sam Graves newsletter will be crowing about how “America is great again” like Mike Johnson did.
Do I understand this correctly that whatever Missourians actually vote for or against doesn’t matter since it seems that their state legislature can just repeal it & do whatever they want? So 1)is voting is just a meaningless ritual in that state and 2)why are the good folks in MO ok with that?
Yep. And, congressional DEMs are lame for not being able to stop not one of the items in Trump's billionaire$ Wealth-Fare.
I can’t understand how this situation has continued to evolve. FFS, this is not how it should be. Why isn’t anyone stopping this? This will completely destroy the lives of people who are not wealthy. It makes zero sense to me.
Agreed! It is astounding to me how many are such pitifully poor judges of character!
They told you they were doing this and you didn’t listen
Those billionaires must stink and fiscal finance if they need to much welfare
Shameful
They are going to run the deficit so high that all government will collapse
Yes. The ripple effect on the Treasury Bond interest rates is one factor which will crater the federal bank account.
We need 4 gop senators to stop this. Are there 4 that can withstand the threats from the #trumpcrimefamily?
I suppose now they’ll have a prayer breakfast to celebrate.
Joe Six-Pack is too blinded by migrant rage to realize he just got scammed by his own party. What little tax savings will trickle down to his income level will barely pay for all his Trump flags. And now his beer is more expensive from tariffs.
Missouri Republicans kicked 200,000 Kiddies off Medicaid because ending tax on Capital Gains is more important.
That has been their plan all along. Next, they will be coming after social security.
Why the FUCK do Billionaires need tax cuts? They have more money than they can spend in 10 lifetimes. Instead of giving them a tax cut, how about we tax their asses off and make them pay their fair share? It's not like they're actually going to miss it...
They also plan to strip all judges from ruling against the Hair Hitler. Only he can decide what is legal and illegal if this passes the Senate.
All for the almighty dollar.
This is criminal stuff… they will end up in a nick, all of the fascist GOPs. It’s a matter of time folks. Patience.
the fact that any regular American thinks they have ever been on their side is hilarious and sad. ~<3
Fucking scumbags @housegop.bsky.social
There is a special place in hell for them.
We The People need to make deeper, more meaningful cuts. Anyone for greasy wealthy GOPher guts?
We need to make some heads roll. It needs to get messy, we need Madame Guillotine ASAP!
This is all such bullshit. But I gotta ask, what are they cutting if they don’t ever pay taxes? Are we just paying them now?
#Shame !!!!!!!!!
Their voters have to reach a tipping point where their families are worth more than their bigotry and hate
Its just the start Project 2025 is rolling forward We the People Will lose more every day
REVERSE ROBINHOOD MAGA STYLE!!!!!!!
Such assholes
Saving all this money with DOGE but need to raise the debt ceiling how many trillion?
Because.
And that's the smoke & mirrors to keep you blind to the truly horrific neutering of the judges/courts - removing the guardrails to further atrocities.
