richseav-ftl.bsky.social•1 day ago

NYT …. It “MAY” .. c’mon press stop bending over for GOP / tRump. DO YOUR JOB. Dig deep and deep up some journalistic integrity! You are shameful.

karenball.bsky.social•2 days ago

"May"? "May greatly benefit the wealthy"? Fuck you #NYT.

harry-flaxseed.bsky.social•2 days ago

mrpaulymac.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm sorry. May hurt?

Thanks for reaffirming why I stopped paying garbage like this.

jbush213.bsky.social•2 days ago

No shit? That’s like stating that ocean water is salty…

oneserenitynow.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wow. Shocking that Shitler only cares about the wealthy.

tienlung.bsky.social•2 days ago

He doesn't care about them either. He's just transactional and rich folks are more useful to him more often than not.

oneserenitynow.bsky.social•1 day ago

True. He needed the KoolAid drinkers to vote him into office and the wealthy to fill his offshore bank accounts.

americangigaohm.bsky.social•1 day ago

Shocked, I tell you…

Is this some sort of surprise? If you haven’t seen this coming you would have to be in a coma!

"May"

And the @nytimes.com continues in its refusal to say it. They just can't bring themselves to actually say what is happening.

As in Germany, the press slowly but surely ends up on the wrong side of history.

"G.O.P. Tax Bill May Hurt the Lowest Earners and Help the Richest" if it works as planned.

They are hurting the lower income Americans so Trump can give his Billionaire Donors tax breaks! Our government is not for the people! It's for the Billionaire Donors!

mgroy.bsky.social•2 days ago

May?

infintecycle.bsky.social•1 day ago

if the new bill doesn't hurt the poor and help the rich, they did it wrong.

No shit, Sherlock…and it will, not “may”..

shurao.bsky.social•2 days ago

Everyone already knew this 🤷🏻‍♀️

winglander.bsky.social•2 days ago

"may" is doing an hell of a lot of underselling that headline

instaminta.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yet, the Times continues to carry water for these fascist scumbags. Go figure.

jtwryly.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why should anyone be surprised by this? People don't enter politics to craft legislation that benefits low income families. They enter politics to avail them selves of opportunities for personal enrichment which come only from pandering to wealthy people.

fortheloveofgod.bsky.social•2 days ago

Jfc. Ya think? Holy cats.

velmam.bsky.social•2 days ago

That’s the whole enchilada- tax the poor and give a big ass tax credit to the wealthy. Duh!

waheid.bsky.social•2 days ago

It shouldn't be a surprise that a Republican tax bill would be crafted to penalize the middle class for the benefit of the rich. Most, if not all, senators can be considered to be rich, so of course, they would write the bill to further enrich themselves.

Main stream media are also the rich and elite, they don't show or report what's happening then they don't have to feel any guilt 💔😞

notetherapy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Israel forced Palestinians to strip naked and nobody knows where they’ve been taken to. All the clothes are on the ground that they were wearing. This is exactly what the Nazis use to do. This is a Holocaust.

Well, duh. Isn’t that what they’ve been telling people since before we voted?

chambersaurusrx.bsky.social•2 days ago

y'all needed a deep data analysis to come to that conclusion?? Starting to worry the Times isn't sending their best, anyone who can read knew that

realbenisons.bsky.social•1 day ago

Re the related NYT story by Carl Hulse, have the supposed hard-line single-minded anti-deficit “fundamentalists” proposed a balanced budget in detail?

NYT shouldn’t wait until 8 paragraphs in to begin explaining the fraudulent pretense, that should be clearer up front imo
