It’s population control.
These same people who screeched for years about fiscal responsibility.
OMG, they didn’t listen to Murkowski when she implored them not to vote the same way she did?
I do hope that companies that have no choice but to lay people off fire the Trump supporters first. That is fair.
Well if you want to cull everybody who is not contributing enough to oligarch capitalism it appears rational.
Treat it as a hostile attack done with malicious intent. Because that is exactly what it is.
Well, they *promised* us.
As a quadriplegic of 3 years who relies on Medicaid, after surviving 3 near-death experiences in 3 years, one being the injury that left me paralyzed, I just want to know HOW they plan to thin the herd. Not vague talking points, the actual process. What criteria is applied exactly? What investigations? HOW are the so-called eliminations applied?
Democrats call it nuclear but never explain who exactly will be impacted and HOW. Republicans tell us to relax, saying it only targets illegals and fraudsters, but again, no details. They don’t say HOW they will thin the herd. Meanwhile, people like me, whose lives literally depend on this system, are left in limbo no matter which side we listen to.
The HOW matters. DETAILS matter. LIVES depend on them.
I don’t understand the point they keep making about how tax cuts are so amazing. It amounts to maybe a couple hundred dollars if that for most people. But what does it matter when the currency is expected to tank nearly 20 percent this year and there is a deterioration of infrastructure and healthcare around us
It’s a good thing you all believe in Jesus cause you sure are gonna need him now
NO, Americans voted to do Immoral and Irreparable Harm to the United States in November last year.
Republicans are doing what voters elected them to do.
70% of American eligible voters either voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all (and tacitly supported Trump).
It’s not the first time, nor is it the last.
Don’t worry, the brain dead MAGA fucks will claim it was a Democrat who caused it when this finally starts to kick in. There’s no memory past 1 week. You think they are going to remember this in 2027? They will be told “it’s the liberals and Biden” and line up to vote Republican. And it will work again and again because they are empty headed dumb fucks.
And Americans voted for it let’s not forget that.
The death toll will be larger than covid. You get what you voted for. I guess the blackmailed ot tax cuts were worth poor people dying
Republicans morals are hate, make money and cruelty. It’s perfect for them. They are hate filled people. You know, Nazis.
what a disgusting image. cheering clapping and all smiles as millions lose healthcare, only so a few can have more of what they already have too much of…
It goes to show that right-wing populism was always a grift. That being said, with the delays baked into the bill, the working classes might not immediately revolt, if at all.
Fuck…and I mean this respectfully…this evil bitch. 👋
I’m pretty sure immoral and irreparable harm was on the ballot 8 months ago and folks said yes sir, may I have some more.
This is what the voters wanted otherwise we wouldn’t be here. Fully expected this to pass.
Just a normal day for them.
As a Canadian, I am so sad for the people of the U.S. This seems to be nothing but a vengeful, cruel bill. Is Trump deliberately try to destroy your country?
How can any human being with a conscience agree to such inhumane legislature? It feels like we are part a some b flick movie where people are living in fear of a government gone mad
we will now live in a police state with the ICE budget increasing by billions. america as we once knew it is dead. welcome to a neo christian fascist hellscape.
How much more proof do you need that democracy and voting are over? These politicians are not concerned with being reelected.
It’s an absolute shit show. We are freaking doomed
Ice now has a larger budget than the Marines and most of the world’s militaries.
Has anyone checked to see if they included a few thousand boxcars in the budget?
Let’s put a big beautiful deaths tally up in Times Square. I have additional things to say about Lisa Murkowski, but would definitely get banned.
Let’s stick together, fam, we’re gonna undo this eventually. Peace.
I would say the point of no return for Republicans was quite a while ago, but this is the definitive point of no forgiveness. At this point, if you’re a Republican who supported this, there’s no redeeming that can be done.
Average voters in the midterms and 2028: “Why would the Democrats do this to us?”
Get out while you still can. The US is in for a rough few decades at least.
Do you know what’s a really good way to create home grown citizen terrorists? Pull one or both of their parents away from them and lock them up in inhumane detention and deport them forever to some foreign country that they may not have any connection to. Child grows up poorer, emotionally damaged, educationally diminished, angry. Really stupid plan.
I’m pretty sure this is gonna be what breaks the country.
I just received a propaganda email from the Social Security administration. I’m gobsmacked.
It starts:
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.
The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation’s economy.
“This is a historic step forward for America’s seniors,” said Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. “For nearly 90 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for older Americans. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they’ve earned.”
I hope California is thinking of withholding funds to the federal government. How is any of this representation?
America is deporting all the poor immigrants, so now they need a whole new set of people to be poor to do those jobs.
Meanwhile the Democratic party is too busy shitting on Mamdani and fighting to make sure the real left doesn’t take over the party. They would rather doom us to oblivion than fight for the people first instead of oligarchs and corpos.
If history has taught me anything, it’s that there is only one legitimate counter to fascism and that’s a strong left wing working class centered movement.
And before anyone says it, Republicans obviously get no pass for this bullshit but they’re open about their hate for the people.
Morality aside. Ethics aside. They giggled about, voted for, and gloated over irreparable financial harm to those least able to suffer yet more of it.
Because the last thing on earth “Conservatism” is interested in “conserving” is money. And the last thing on earth the “personal responsibility party” is interested in shouldering the financial responsibility for is the damage they are personally, individually responsible for irreparably inflicting.
The US is actually fucked.
As a Canadian, I legitimately feel bad for the United States citizens who did not vote for this, yet are facing the consequences of other people’s choices.
I hope, not just for the US sake, that things turn around and get back to normal soon.
Every single person who voted Republican in 2024 is a murderer. Period.
Time to protest. No kings got it started.
>America’s racism is unlike any racism I’ve ever seen before. It is willing to destroy everything including its own people just to hurt people on the basis of their skin tone.
One reason for the hate of “others” incl. racism is that lots of Americans are utterly miserable. They are obsessed with the idea that “others” are getting “handouts” and whatnot, while themselves they feel they are at a disadvantage.
They don’t realize that their misery doesn’t come because of Jose from Tijuana – but because of a perverted wealth gap in the US where the low and low-middle class is getting fucked over by the ultra-rich.
The entire system is set up like this. Many get shit pay, very little free time, and much less rights/protections compared to other countries. They’re literally enslaved into shitty, miserable worker lives by a tiny number of ultra-rich.
The task of the Republican scam party is to lie to their voters this is not so, that, no no, the ultra-rich and they themselves are “totally in for the average man” to make them believe they’re on their side.
The amazing thing is that this works, that these voters are so fucking dumb to believe this.
Its almost like the authoritarians and Theocrats did exactly what they said they were going to do.
Never. Vote. Republican.
So happy that those poor Billionaires get another taxcut. They are really struggling the top 1%. And Americans are still waiting for the wealth to trickle down since the 80’s. But patience, perhaps with this round of taxcuts it will finally happen and you will cash your checks in a casino in Monte Carlo.
