It’s not an Israel aid package. It’s a billionaire tax cheat reprieve bill mockingly draped in an Israeli flag.
If aiding someone means fucking ourselves irreversibly, then fuck the aid.
It’s a typical Republican agenda of (1) support those who look like us and pray like us, letting all others get blasted and smushed to bits and (2) make sure the tax man doesn’t have enough staff or funding to go after any tax cheats who can afford lawyers on retainer.
Have they not met them, I’m confused.
Solid business practice. “Let’s cut accounts receivable and continue to spend” what could go wrong.
Two major IRS programs would be directly affected by losing this IRA money:
* Hiring 3000+ highly educated accountants and CPAs to begin audits of complex partnerships and trusts
* The building of a free-file system owned by the IRS inside Individual Tax Account, ensuring most people can file easily and at no cost.
Wonder why Republicans are picking on the IRS…
Seems like an easy no vote then.
And that’s exactly what Johnson wants.
We need to get money out of politics so elected officials stop kowtowing to big businesses and billionaires that have bribed them. The problem is the people who could create laws that would get money out of politics are the people who benefit from money being in politics.
Israel seems to be doing just fine bombing the hell out of gaza without any $$ needed from America. Dems can easily say “fuck you johnson”.
Yeah, I’d say something smells to high Heaven…not his Heaven of course, I guess wherever political Heaven exists 🤷🏻♂️💰👑
It’s a non-starter. He knows it too. All his talk about “fiscal responsibility” is just a Republican rinse and repeat, after ballooning the deficit. It’s not an accident that they targeted the IRS almost immediately.
We are in for a bumpy ride for the next year, and if the Repugs hold their own or get more power, we are fucked.
I get tired of the hills partisan way of writing articles.
“one of President Biden’s pet programs”
Yup, the IRS is a pet program. Biden is trying to get the IRS funding to do its mission properly. It’s not like he is getting the IRS to build a Noah theme park.
“Look, if we are going to free up government money for Israel then we need to fuck up our revenue. It’s business 101. Why do you dumb libs not get this??”
Mike Johnson, Trump U. Valid-dick-tory-ann
Those idiots also voted to slash the EPA budget by 40%
Clowns are wasting time on legislation they KNOW won’t even be brought up for a vote in the senate
How about more money for the IRS and less money for dropping bombs on civilians in Israel?
Fuck the aid and the cut
Democrats rage isnt going to do much. We need to mobilize every single voter and volunteer we can over the next year.
There are elections as soon as Nov 7th in 3 days. We need to mobilize every voter and volunteer we can over the next year to kick Republicans out of office at every level.
Join r/VoteDEM to find out how to get involved to elect Dems across the country, phonebank, textbank, volunteer, knock on doors or donate. Make a plan to vote and take someone with you
Time to put a stop to everything this speaker wants. Time to play hardball and block everything.
GOP wants the irs to audit everyone but the actual extreme wealthy tax cheats.
It needs to be illegal to bundle bills together. It’s been this way forever, and both sides sneak garbage in with stuff they know will pass. It’s broken and makes no sense. They need to do their job and vote on everything individually.
Why the fuck does Israel need any money? Ukraine I understand because they’re less rich than Russia and undergoing a brutal occupation. Palestine doesn’t even have an actual army and Israel a a rich country
Reminder: Johnson and wife joined with Jordan and his wife on an all expense paid vacation in Israel, funded by 12 Tribe films Foundation. During the vaca the pair met up with far-right Kohelet , a policy foundation, and toured with host. Upon returning, he said he saw no Palestinian oppression.
The only reason to cut the irs is to help the billionaires. No other reason. When the democrats take control I propose every person who makes more then 20 million a year automatically gets audited. There’s too much money at stake to just take their word. Look at the bullshit trumps been pulling for the last 50 plus years. This country has a lot of problems that money can fix. Call me crazy, but the richest country in the world should be working for every citizen. Not just the 2000 super rich people in this country.
They know it’ll get vetoed obviously, just wanted to humiliate Joe. Ukraine aid will be the same deal
So how about do neither. Let Israel pay for its own genocide and let the IRS prosecute rich tax cheats.
What support does Israel freakin need? Are they running out of bombs?
Seriously, I’m completely for the destruction of Hamas, but this path is an atrocious attempt. On top of that, this aid is a joke as Israel has the absolute complete upper hand and can manage the minuscule Gaza strip without US assistance.
It is called a kill clause. Put simply they attached it to make sure it doesn’t pass. It is like installing a part that says Trump gets $1billion a year until he dies. They know the Dems won’t vote for it so it will be stopped on the floor.
How about instead of “take the money from the IRS”, they make it “tax the billionaires”.
Pairing Israel with IRS is stupid. Each should deserve its own bill.
Paring Israel with Ukraine is stupid. Each should deserve its own bill.
Only a hypocrite will criticize one, but keep quiet on the other.
I knew this was going to happen when they elected this goon.
Get ready for a government shutdown, get ready for nothing to get passed until the next Congress. Mike Johnson is an extremist who is unable to compromise. Even if he wanted to (he doesn’t), the last speaker was removed for compromising. He won’t put forward a single bill that has even a whisper of a chance to get past the senate, let alone the president. This bill included.
I hope everyone who would be affected by a government shutdown has spent the last month battening down the hatches. It’s going to be a cold winter.
The IRS is more important…nice try fascists!
> Rep. Erin Houchin (R-Ind.) said Friday when asked about the Democratic criticisms. “We are in a critical fiscal calamity right now with our spending. It is a matter of national security for the United States that our fiscal house is in such poor shape, you know, we must offset spending and that’s the mechanism we chose to use.”
Republicans don’t want the IRS to have the resources to make sure those who are very well off to affluent are not cheating on their taxes. These people that do this submit thousands of pages of docs.
> The Congressional Budget Office, however, predicted the legislation would add more than $26 billion to the deficit.
It should not take 25th paragraphs to note that.
[In fact the CBO estimates that Bidens plan which would include less audits for regular people would bring in as much as 200 billion dollars in revenue over a decade. So it would help reduce the deficit](https://www.cbo.gov/publication/57444)
The gross old party is diabolical
“Rage”? Oh, goody – sounds useful.
If all the politicians would simply Focus on giving America reason to hope rather than fear, they might find themselves a favorite among the voters. Obama was great at a million things that drove his success. He was an orator, a scholar, an empath, a spiritual person. And he always lead with hope and empathy. . Politicians take a beat, and refocus your campaign efforts to bringing back hope. Then you might find a few more of those votes coming your way.
He did this so when the bill dies in the Senate, they’ll blame it on Democrats.
That’s not raging. That’s just making sure the hole the GOP is digging for themselves is Nice and deep.

Just don’t vote for it, then. We’ve given them enough aid over the decades, seems like they have enough to take care of themselves and completely level Gaza like they’ve been doing.
This guy is dangerous. Pure evil cloaked in the pages of the bible; a demon parading around as a man; if the devil existed, this is he. He doesn’t care about Israel as much as he does corrupting the US political system so he and his idiots can say – “see?! Look! Democracy doesn’t work!…” so they can move forward with they’re consolidation of power.
Christian’s on this level are evil incarnate – they not here to save souls, but to collect them. Rest assured, this man believes he and his people have a special place in heaven just for them and is willing to burn the earth down to get there.
He believes the climate is within gods control therefore there is no reason to alter our behaviors. He believes healing the spirit will lead to less gun violence, therefore no need to alter our gun policies. He believes gay people are responsible for the downfall of civilizations without ever acknowledging the ruinous corruption perpetuated by the wealthy.
If this demon’s vision becomes policy we are certainly well on our way to a hellish future. I never wanted to be a freedom fighter, but this soulless creature they call “speaker” is just the kind of monster you were always warned never existed by the very same people who thrust him upon us – of course I’m going to fight them tooth n nail for trying to take our freedoms.
Fuck the Republican Party – this is all coming from a former republican. Reliable repub before 2012, but never again while they’re a party of sissy’s, liars, whiners, and anti-intellectuals. And certainly never while that moron Mike Johnson has any semblance of power.
