Americans must suffer That’s what Trump & Musk say. But who really suffers? Not billionaires, it's working families. Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) backs policies that make life harder while the rich thrive. How much more struggle before leaders prioritize people over profits? Sound off. #EnoughIsEnough - ThreadSky

Similar, though less painful, things were said about ACA but not Republican supported it.

They are giving away their power to president musk and first buddy Trump.

How much is he going to sacrifice? Will he take a pay cut? Give up his health insurance? Decline his pension? I doubt it.

majt.bsky.social•130 days ago

Mike WILL NOT suffer. His constituents, many in rural NE, will.

It’s all about money and influence. If you contact your Rep or Senator, how many invite you to a personal mtg? Would that be different if you were an oligarch billionaire? I certainly think so.

OR, this might be crazy, we could go back to tax rates of the 90’s — when we had our best economy EVER. Add a 2% wealth tax on estates over $100M.

ericmiller.us•130 days ago

How much more do billionaires really want?

charitylummel.bsky.social•130 days ago

Dude, we can shout it, and no one listens. They don't care about people. They aren't going to care about people anytime soon. You can't reason with corruption, and that is the gop. They care about money, and that's all. You will never change their minds or the minds of their voters.

zen1924.bsky.social•130 days ago

Who made them God? We Americans must suffer? No, Republicans must suffer the consequences of deliberately making all our lives worse to benefit a few oligarchs. We deserve a liveable wage, with clean air and water, and freedom to live and live in peace.

grayestjedi.bsky.social•130 days ago

What he’s really saying is that if “we” don’t sacrifice, the oligarchs will have a few less billions of dollars and Fascism can’t take root. To me, we all need to come together and “sacrifice” a few of these oligarchs in a public square on global television

syoak.bsky.social•130 days ago

I hate what is happening in our country , I hate it even more that I live in NE where all the Nebraska congress , senators , governor and attorney General have their allegiance to Trump and not Nebraskans ! They do not stand for All Nebraskans and surely not their values !!

ponybirdknits.bsky.social•130 days ago

lol…for the last few years republicans were complaining and campaigning on the economy, price of eggs, gas , blah, blah, blah…,. Now they are telling the working poor to Sacrifice for the rich tax cuts!! We are paying federal taxes supporting these welfare a$$holes salary and healthcare!!

ericmiller.us•130 days ago

It’s an addiction to power and the search for happiness they won’t be able to find.

yanygal.bsky.social•130 days ago

Are these Republicans being threatened with death if they don’t bend the knee? Inquiring minds want to know.

ccpeters.bsky.social•130 days ago

They're willing and want to kiss the ring. Too bad they don't realize the MAGAt felon won't associate with them.

plutoniary.bsky.social•130 days ago

Get to know the audience that elects people like Mike Flood and you will then understand that these people have absolutely NO factual knowledge of any bill that is brought forth in state or fed govt and no knowledge of how the people they elect vote on any bill.

ericmiller.us•130 days ago

Many of the MAGA voters are low information people. Trump knew that as well as down ballot

plutoniary.bsky.social•130 days ago

Red state voters are asleep at the wheel and pay no attention to anything. They will vote in their own interests on individual ballot measures while simultaneously voting back in every single Republican that voted for the harmful bills in the first place. CLUELESS.

jans-red.bsky.social•130 days ago

They're (GOP) all hoping for a little trickle and to keep their sinecure jobs.

sharonzettle.bsky.social•130 days ago

Why? In a nation with 34% of the planet's wealth and 4% of the population, why does anyone need to suffer?

jkamrath.bsky.social•130 days ago

I hope he suffers from unemployment soon.

jkamrath.bsky.social•130 days ago

That’s not what they campaigned on. They said our suffering would be less not more.

bookishpoodle.bsky.social•130 days ago

They always lie to get votes. Never believe anything they say while campaigning. The one exception is what the Felon said in October. “You don’t even need to vote. We have enough votes.” The fix was in.

gbotwick.bsky.social•130 days ago

Trump even told us so on inauguration day, but it was never checked out. He told the crowd “He was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. So it was pretty good…. Thank you to Elon.”

ericmiller.us•130 days ago

I’m hearing that the goal of layoffs is to install AI that will replace people. Truly hope that is wrong.

What an absolute douche canoe this guy is!

experimental22.bsky.social•130 days ago

That Mike Flood bowl of vanilla pudding believes that he is the master race and the master gender. Remarkable.

cornysunflower.bsky.social•130 days ago

My brother lives in Nebraska and he has bought that rhetoric hook line and sinker.

donnchristianson.bsky.social•130 days ago

Some of us will suffer, many will die, but that's a sacrifice that representative Mike Flood is willing to make.

daves211.bsky.social•125 days ago

Trump flew several republicans to the Super Bowl last weekend. The people who trump and his chicken shit ass kissers say must suffer are the ones who paid for their several million dollar evening.

lrogers.bsky.social•129 days ago

You can wait a life time if you think Mike Flood will ever give a damn about all of us in Nebraska.

kristihugs.bsky.social•130 days ago

This dick head is a joke. They make me so angry! and THAT is the message. We have heard it from Trump, from Musk, from Voight ....americans must suffer. The masses must suffer while they build their bank accounts. Makes me sick.

onegirlarmy.bsky.social•130 days ago

Ides of March? How interesting.

drmagee.bsky.social•130 days ago

Rep. Flood tell us about how you are going to sacrifice. What sacrifices are billionaires going to make.

allitalia.bsky.social•130 days ago

When is Elon going to hit Congress next and start removing waste? Flood should lose his health insurance for sure, maybe cut salaries as well. Maybe then they will pay attention.

ztap.bsky.social•130 days ago

SACRIFICE FOR THE BILLIONAIRES??

ericmiller.us•130 days ago

Hardly. We the people

mysticlee123.bsky.social•130 days ago

Musk made a tactical error and didn't go after the guns first. And using his kid as a human shield won't make any difference.

In Scott Bessent's confirmation hearing he said that extending tax cuts for the wealthy is his #1 priority. He declined to bite at Bernie's suggestion that we reconsider the 15-year-old federal minimum wage of $7.25/hr. Billionaires have no idea how real people live.

jenderson.bsky.social•130 days ago

I’m so glad that these people are looking out for their constituents. 🙄

ghostymcghost.bsky.social•130 days ago

hipgramar.bsky.social•130 days ago

Perhaps republican congress members should cut their salaries and benefits to suffer along with their constituents. Less than one-half of the country asked for this

ztap.bsky.social•130 days ago

Way less than half! So many do not vote.

eastslope.bsky.social•130 days ago

Is Mikey gonna suffer, too?

Objectively the answer is yes as he has rolled over like a nursing sow of a Congressional representative, but in his own mind? I'm still undecided if the GOP reps are truly this stupid, or are they this mendacious?

plutoniary.bsky.social•130 days ago

They are COMPROMISED
Think Russian style
and have been for years

plutoniary.bsky.social•130 days ago

And they are also stupid and they are also selected to run for office by the national party for having certain characteristics: money, not very smart, no internal moral compass, follows orders. These R members of Congress are the result of a long game by the national party.

k9martian.bsky.social•130 days ago

He’s my rep. A pos who kisses ass and doesn’t care who gets hurt

ericmiller.us•130 days ago

Is there a coalition that is forming to speak up against his policies and views.
Do you know about this?

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/5-calls-contact-your-congress/id1202558609

k9martian.bsky.social•130 days ago

Going to start calling. They won’t listen though. It’s a neon red state. Even the farmers who were hurt with his tariffs last time voted him back in. And the pols in DC just don’t care what happens to us. They know they’ll get reelected no matter what they do

polychlorinated.bsky.social•130 days ago

When do billionaires start to sacrifice? Are the 1% willing to wait until they’re pathetically alone and useless?

soblue2024.bsky.social•130 days ago

Looking at you, @joshhawleymo.bsky.social Eric Schmitt, Ann Wagner

lasimon65.bsky.social•129 days ago

But hey, we’ve got to suffer a bit? No big deal right?

ericmiller.us•129 days ago

Yeah, thanks MAGA
