Sen. Josh Hawley wants to exclude ‘Biden voters’ from $600 Trump tariff rebate checks
Ran for his life during the attack on the Capitol.
He's such a forking whack job.
Biden voters ? I didn’t know Biden was on the docket in the last election? When is blue states gonna stop assisting red states with funding ? That’s the REAL QUESTION?
hahaha, you're right!
Has anyone seen the price of meat lately? Or gas? ⛽️ They are through the roof!
How about we fuck off with the tariffs in the first place and have some responsible and intelligent adults managing the economy and trade agreements?
This is incredible. They essentially put a huge tax on goods via the tariffs and are now re-distributing it to households that make less than $150,000 per year. This is socialism, pure and simple. It's great, don't get me wrong. But they don't even realize it.
Not quite, but also going to point out a tariff is a regressive tax, so it's the worst way to try and redistribute money.
They don't care if it's socialism or not. They care about punishing enemies and rewarding friends.
So what, we use that money to help buy stuff that is more expensive now? That makes zero sense.
Well the theory of redistribution is that you tax everybody and only give it back to the lower income folks. Since higher income folks tend to spend more, you are somewhat taking more from the rich and giving a portion of it back to the poor. Imperfect? Yes. Socialist? Definitely.
You don't understand how tarriffs work. This isn't a tax rebate.
Please, genius, explain to me how tariffs work.
Next they’ll suggest excluding you from your SS payments.
Wow what a dumb piece of dogshit
They think so little of their base it’s astonishing.
If you want to play that game: To be fair, MAGAs voted for the tariffs so they shouldn’t get a rebate. We didn’t vote for tariffs or Trump so we should get some money back.
Let me start by saying that I can't stand Hawley or Trump, but this is misleading... Yes he says 'Biden voters' but goes on to classify them as rich dems and hedge fund managers. He is not suggesting that a Republican making $50K a year gets the rebates and a Democrat making the same doesn't.
Right. He's just saying that Biden voters are all rich hedge fund managers, to try to whip up class fury on false grounds. The party base is Black wo.en, not hedge fund managers. Hedge fund managers vote Republican.
It's his assumption that hedge fund guys are more likely to be Democrats that I find laughable.
Not sure if he was saying hedge fund mgrs are Dems or just lumping them together as people who don't like tariffs... “I mean, you know, the rich people don’t need it … what I mean by that is all those Democrat donors of Wall Street, all these hedge fund guys, who all hate the tariffs, by the way.”
Keep your blood money, Hawley
He would only send money to Trump voters??? It's their fault this is even happening! This is like if an additive causes cancer you wouldn't send checks to the people who got cancer but the people who added the cancer-causing chemical. #GOPlogic 🙄
there better be a fucking Zero missing from that number If I get anything less than $6,000 I'm spending it on getting a fucking Third Party candidate elected
These guys are so fucking funny, man. Every single time they accuse Dems of doing something it's just them telling you what they want to do. They insist ActBkue pays voters or something and now they're just gonna try to do the same thing. Predictable, pathetic, but so funny in a morbid way
Fuck that little douchebag..
What an ass..
Fuck Josh Hawley all day, every day.
Go to hell.
Hawley is a joke!
Remember when the GOP said Biden bought his voters... Good times... Its astounding to me that GOP blatantly lying & contradictions of themselves as a routine basis is a third rail in media political coverage. They deserve their own weekly special segments...
He also wants to deny blue states fema help. So blue states pay more for less.
Another distraction from the Epstein files!!
Do we officially have to say we don't want Trumps fucking bribe?
Well I want him excluded from his Microsoft Live subscription for treason then, but nobodys reporting on that...
So you have to show proof of who you voted for to get your money cool I don’t want your $600 anyway so no thanks
Capping it at $150k for joint filers already rules out most in blue states
Absolutely love the idea of my Maryland tax dollars to no longer subsidize red states.
Dividing the country for power, hate, stupidity again. He’s not Americsn, he’s something else
I thought other countries paid the tariffs 🙄🙄🙄
How about giving Biden voters the rebates since they didn't vote for tariffs and none to the trump voters since they wanted them.
So he wants every person in California and New York to give $600 to every racist piece of shit idiot in trump states.
If you vote for the wrong person the winner will take your money and give it to his own voters seems like a reason to just fucking end this country and split up.
Sen Josh Hawley really wants his ass kicked! Stealing from Democrats to give to Republicans is asking for trouble .
Those money is from the country’s taxpayers not just Republicans.
Illegal and disgusting.
This obviously won't go anywhere but what a piece of shit. Imagine a world where unproductive rural communities pulled their fair share. Yeah yeah farmers, but those farmers wouldn't be around if it wasn't for massive BIG GOVERNMENT subsidies
Plus, all American farmers grow is soy and corn. If anyone if feeding America it's fucking Mexico and California
and we will put chocolate milk in all the drinking fountains... but only for the trump voters.
Let me start by apologizing for the salty language that I'm about to use, but only because it's technically the polite thing to do. That said, Josh Hawley can eat a bag of dicks.
Why? Aren’t they paying for it in the form of increased prices?
Where's the money coming from?
as long as blue states get to stop subsidizing red states sure
Thought it was supposed to be $5K?
Not going to happen anyway, also why would people need rebates on the tariffs if we don’t pay for them?
Josh Hawley knows this is dead on arrival, if not in Congress then in the courts. He's only doing performative assholery for MAGA.
If rich people liked Democrats, Republicans wouldn't control all three branches.
wow that's really fucking dumb
This is enraging. But not enough to make me forget about the Epstein-Trump files Nice try Hawley
Great job continuing to try "bipartisan" stuff, Dems. Fucking idiots
Score, I voted third party.
I’m all about inclusion, not exclusion, so I’m including Josh hawley in the group of people who can lick my taint
Like, voted for him ever? Or, as a write-in in the last election in which he did not run?
Since he knows this cannot stand, this is like most of the shit the GOP pulls, purely performative to get noticed by being stupid. And there's no cure for s t u p i d. Actually I am wrong. Voting his stupid ass out of office will cure it.
Simply insane
Fuck you hawley
Guy needs a slap in the face. I volunteer to provide.
Fine. California can just stop halt federal income tax payments. And so will other states.
In short: Sen. Josh Hawley is a cowardly idiot. Don't forget his scamper to his safe space after he encouraged the January 6th attackers at the Capitol.
The guy who just voted for huge tax cuts for the very wealthy says what now?
How are they gonna know I thought votes were secret ?
He’s such an asshole
Everyone pays the tariffs; it’s a tax on consumers.
The article says this is just an income cap on the rebate. Hawley says rich people are all "Biden voters". He's just throwing chum to the base.
Is this to make up for cutting so many of his constituents off Medicaid/Medicare by voting yes on the disgusting, abomination of a bill. After he swore he wouldn't.
‘The rich people don’t need it ... all those Democrat donors of Wall Street, all these hedge fund guys, who all hate the tariffs,’ Republican lawmaker tells Steve Bannon Oh, but they need a massive tax cut??
F hawley
How about my state quits subsidizing Missouri.
And every other red state.
Saying out loud what we already know: Republican politicians consider less than half of electorate their actual constituency. The rest of you can go fuck yourselves.
Sounds like a great precedent for the future given that Republicans states are mostly federal funds takers.
Please do better Missouri.
He seems to think only the rich voted for Joe Biden. He is absolutely wrong. He is also admitting that there is inflation due to the tariffs. Go suck yourself, Josh.
Only if Biden voters can be exempted from tariffs.
This strikes me as a distraction from trump and Epstein.
I think we should exclude “having a head” from Josh Hawley
#Repbulicans are all about cruelty. I've never inmy six decades of living seen anything like it.
Don’t care. Release everything the government knows about Epstein.
Hawley is always the unAmerican partisan
I thought other countries paid for the tariffs what do I need a rebate for
I knew this was coming. bsky.app/profile/dave...
what if i voted for my dog?
FJH
Whatever happened to those DOGE Checks?
Just like we exclude Josh from the list of actual men who are what they seem while not being a closeted homosexual dumb fuck. Because that’s Josh.
Who fucking cares anymore? $600 is nothing. Are people so stupid they can be placated with $600 while the cost of everything continues to rise?
Yes they are that stupid, but he knows it won’t pass and it doesn’t actually exclude Dems. That Hawley continues to pretend rich people are Dems is hilarious. He’s so obviously lying about everything all of the time.
Everyone’s vote in the US is supposed to be by secret ballot
It’s none of Hawley’s effing business who I voted for, or his reprobate party’s.
Oh boy, light that candle and see how it works out, republicans. Really test the waters there and see how quickly dem states stop subsidizing republicans
Purple like a bruise.
Can’t miss ish.. you never had 🙄
This whole thing is a joke, it won't help anyone
Also, Harris was more popular with rich voters. Biden was more popular with poor ones.
Petty
by calling it a "rebate", i can't tell if they're laughing at us or if they're just that stupid.
good thing i didnt vote for biden
He's so fucking slimy. A tax credit isn't necessarily a refund or even a check at all.
I voted for Harris in the last election cycle. Also Hawley can 🤬-off with that unAmerican 🤡💩.
Wait- so how does this work? Companies are selling higher priced items -because they’re paying tariffs- which can now be afforded by the blue collars because of the $600 checks- so what’s the impact of tariffs? Is it just a pass through game? Isnt the goal to make imported goods too expensive?
I need to not have keyboards because I'm going to wind up on a list
$600? I've spent triple that on tariff related increases since April. What a fucking joke.
We don’t live in a republic anymore. The Republicans have no moral or ethical center…
