  1. Of course. It’s just a problem for the little people now.

  2. “They’ll get over it” – Mitch McConnell 

    “Everybody dies” – Joni Ernst

    “Minutiae” – JD Vance

    They dont care about the working class and they never did, they dont care if you die due to their actions

  3. Remember to these monsters, empathy is a sin. They really don’t care that the sickest and neediest among us die. In fact, I think they enjoy it. I really do. It makes them feel like winners.

  4. Medicaid and social wellness programs are what kept this pudgy fuck fed while his mom was off stealing fentanyl from her workplace.

  5. As long as the rich get theirs, what does it matter if Medicare recipients can’t pay for their care? They. Don’t. Care. About. You.

  6. They get airplanes, billions of dollars, real estate deals, and gold plaited ceilings.

    We get to contract the measles and die because there’s no healthcare.

    Great work MAGAs.

  7. ***From Rolling Stone’s Nikki McCann Ramirez:***

    President Donald Trump and the GOP’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is far from beautiful and deeply unpopular with the public. Battling concerns from voters about increased barriers to accessing programs like Medicaid and food assistance; massive transfers of wealth from less fortunate Americans to corporations and the rich; and the mass deregulation of industries like crypto and AI, Vice President J.D. Vance is attempting a new tactic to persuade the hesitant: ignore all of that and focus on how much money the bill is giving to ICE.

  8. I absolutely fucking hate this ghoul. Being a disabled person in this country has me feeling absolutely hopeless.

  9. I Love How in Shillbilly Elegy JD Vance had the audacity to show his grandmother sharing her Meals on Wheels meal with him as a boy and now he works for a guy who slashed the funding for that program and others like it.

    It’s like he’s trying to make sure that any kid who had the same modest start as him.. just dies

  10. What’s apparent is that the Republican voters have been steadily convinced that government institutions are proportionally benefitting the Left.

    Reducing the “handouts”, as they like to call them, will put a ‘face to the name’ of each and every person that actually benefits from government assistance programs. They may recognize some of them.

    The conservative voters wanted to see these cuts and when they’re personally affected, a percentage of them may see clearer for it. Though, most will just complain that’s being implemented “incorrectly”. 

  11. Not only is Vance’s statement absurd as he claims that actively harming the poorest among us is not important, but his statement is also false.

    The nonpartisan CBO has [said](https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60165) immigrants actually help *lower* budget deficits.

    “People are rightly noting that kicking millions off of Medicaid is not ‘minutiae,’ but the premise is wrong here too. Of the reasons to deport undocumented immigrants, federal fiscal health is one of the worst ones. CBO found they *lower* deficits by ~$1T over the next 10 years,” Ernie Tedeschi, director of the Budget Lab at Yale, [wrote](https://x.com/ernietedeschi/status/1940020724128739606) in a post on X. “That’s because undocumented immigrants tend to pay taxes funding programs like Medicare & Social Security (despite the stereotype, most undocumented immigrants who work are above the table) but are often ineligible to receive benefits.”

  12. It is kind of impressive the USA could get even worse for healthcare.

  13. >The version of the legislation passed by the House would give Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) [over $100 billion](https://www.nilc.org/articles/9-things-to-know-about-the-reconciliation-bill/) for the construction of new immigration detention centers, increasing arrest and deportation efforts, militarization of the border and the hiring of new agents. 

    Or, it could give $1000 to every family in the country.

    Or, an infrastructure repair grant of $30 million per 100,000 people to every town and city in the country.

    Or, a $1 million grant to each and every public school in the country.

    Or, $130,000 for each homeless person in the country to get them un-homeless.

    But hey, funny-looking (i.e. non-white) foreigners are the *real* problem here, so J.D., you be you.

  14. JD is not a hillbilly. Hillbillies take care of their own. This snake is only into himself and sofas.

  16. One look at him and you can see why the pope carked it.

  17. Funny that they have no issue catering to the minutia of billionaires and by funny I mean so fucking infuriating

  18. I remember right after the election, my friend group was stating how it’s so strange Republicans became the working class party.

    I just remember shaking my head thinking, you all have no idea what you’ve just done. We’re about to enter the *Find Out* stage of FAFO.

  20. This MAGA party is basically five sheep and one wolf voting on what’s for dinner.

  21. Take away his health insurance and see if he changes his mind.

  22. How is this any different than personally sentencing these people to death?

    They’re all so flippant saying “People die, grow up” but there is a difference between dying of natural causes and what these people are doing. They are making intentional choices that take things away from people who rely on them to live.

    This is the banality of evil, these soulless ghouls are no different than the nazi bureaucrats who sentenced millions to die from their desks.

  23. There’s that good USCCB-influenced Catholic catechesis at work. No hate like “Christian” love.

  24. They don’t just hate the American people, they’re actively trying to kill us.

  26. I live on the dark red NY/PA boarder. The number of people who still think that this will only affect “others” is mind numbing. It’s very disheartening to see the absolute brain rot that is infesting this country.

  27. Absolutely vile piece of human scum.

    Imagine agreeing with this eyeliner wearing couch fucker.

  28. Can’t wait to lose access to my meds and die when I get kicked off Medicaid, all so some rich fucks can buy another yacht…

  30. As absolutely horrible as Trump is, he’s just ignorant and stupid. *This* motherfucker is evil incarnate.

  31. Fuck him and every Republican along with him. Anti American pieces of shit, the lot of them.

  33. j.d. Vance is trump biatch. he and the whole administration needs to be arrested for international crimes with their concentration camps.

  34. The DNC should be running ads on this 24/7, now. But crickets.

  35. This will

    Increase the debt by an estimated $4 trillion.

    Increase annual mortgage interest by an average of $1,060.

    Give an average tax cut of nearly $390,000 for those with incomes exceeding $4,325,000.

    Cut more than $900 billion from Medicaid.

    Strip 16 million Americans of their healthcare.

    Increase annual small business loan interest by an average of $860.

    Cause the closure of 300 rural hospitals.

    Cause the closure of 500 nursing homes.

    End food assistance for 2.9 million Americans.

    Will end clean energy tax credits.

    Raise energy bills by up to $400 per year for families and 10% for businesses and put nearly 400,000 jobs at risk.

  36. Fuck the GOP. Fuck the uneducated, the uninformed, the imbeciles who voted for this. We are all going to be hurting, and we’re all gonna feel it.

  37. If it was minutiae, it wouldn’t be needed to offset the tax breaks.

  39. The ultra-wealthy don’t want to work anymore, they just want to fucking steal from us.

  41. My proposal for all of Congress (inc. the Senate)

    Medicaid insurance

    No stock trading

    Public schools for your kids (k – 12)

    Dormitories for living in Washington DC

    Our government should be working for us the whole time that they are in office. If it’s too hard to abide by this, then I don’t think that they are really working for us.

  42. I hate this asshole so much. The Pope should excommunicate him so he can’t hide behind a shield of being religious.
