Republicans just decided to kill their base to give tax cuts to Musk and the broligarchy. You think those townhalls this week were bad? They're about to go supernova with the House passing this budget.

Swastikkkars for Afrikaaners. Tax Cuts for billionaire welfare junkies. Russian Oligarchs paying 5 million for citizenship. What the fuck bizarro world are we in.
In fairness since the top 10% pays 76% of all personal income taxes (50% pays zero) extending the current tax structure maintains that but since the top 10 are effectively the only ones paying any tax increase or decrease will fall on them it’s just math (but not sexy grievance stuff)
Sure (and I understand sales taxes are regressive) but this is an income tax conversation-it’s both accurate and misleading to say tax cuts benefit the wealthy bc they’re the ones paying most income tax-keeping more of the $ you earn isn’t stealing-we need to tax more/spend less to reduce the debt
Well in the rest of our daily lives we pay for what we get not what we can afford-Big Macs cost the same for everyone regardless of what they earn-it’s easy for the wealthy to move & avoid income taxes so the trick is convincing them why paying more & staying is in their best interest
This is beyond discouraging. In other words these COWARDS put Musk and Trump over their constituents. Apparently the town-halls did nothing to phase any one of them. Party over country and wellbeing of citizens. This is as bad as it gets.
Republicans voters are so STUPID. Cutting $1 TRILLION from Medicaid is going to hurt a lot of poor ass white people in poor ass red states. I guess they are happy give 10 year tax cuts to Trump snd Elon. I guess they happy to starve their children. I guess they are happy food and rent going sky high
You want to think so, but I just got off X. They think that bill is full of tax cuts for them and the Democrats are trying to take it away from them. So they are loving the cuts....until they feel the results.
My understanding is that Trump directly contacted the hold outs, they caved, and the bill passed. Another dark day for the American people as the Republicans do a reverse Robin Hood.
Greedy fascist hidden mastermind Koch🐙 does not need voters or elections anymore…they just have to keep the public believing gop lies, brainwashed, pacified, & suppress any dissent patiently making the 99% disarmed broke jobless sick hungry depressed desperate vulnerable apathetic and hopeless.🩸💰
I wonder how fast the reconciliation bill will be pulled together and passed? Speed is crucial if they want to get this done before people realize it is happening.
Meanwhile, on X, members of said Republican base are saying the Democrats hate Americans because they voted against no tax on tips & overtime. Don’t assume they know what’s really in this bill
Don’t care how red these special election districts are, DNC needs to treat them like the presidential. Trump has already hurt his own people and Dems need to be on ground in force explaining how this budget impacts all people and that the house flipping will help serve them better now.
These Representatives have to choose between fearing Trump’s mean tweets or a violent mob of desperate Americans with nothing left to lose. The choice seems clear to me, let’s see how this plays out. Didn’t work out so well for the United Healthcare exec. JS
Rumor is that Johnson is advising they skip town halls. Bad idea....we know what they look like....You are not going out to dinner or to the airport? Or think that we won't camp outside your house? And before you think "Zoom"...did that last time and not doing those again. Time to hold town halls.
Every time - at least since that piece of shit, ronald reagan - the christian fascists have power: the poor, the sick, the disabled, women, children, veterans, and especially the non-whites, suffer.
And always, the christian fascists' excuse is: "god will help you."
Fuck them & fuck their god!
Dems have to be out there and in your face truth tellers because you know Rs will spin this to disastrous Biden policies made them do it. They have already done so with inflation
This really sucks but if Trump lost in 2024, his base would have started a civil war. This is the only way for them to realize how much they've been conned. It's just terrible so many innocent victims are going to get hurt so maga morons can wake up from their hypnotic trance.
If they’re brave enough to have any, you mean. And if they mess with Social Security or Medicare, old people like me WILL choose violence, and not metaphorically.
They don’t seem bothered that they might lose votes in the next election. Probably because they have been told there aren’t going to be any more elections. President 🤡 and Emperor 💩are doing their best to prevent it!
I said this earlier but...It won't matter. The Republicans will just lie and say they didn't cut benefits and the media will report it without questioning it. We saw it with Project 2025
I'm not sure they will. They are so brainwashed. When they lose their jobs, homes and security they'll blame Biden. Listening to the Senate Republicans today, so many of them talked about the world caving in during Bidens term. MAGA'S HAVE CREATIVE MEMORIES.
it’s as tho the republicans aren’t worried about their pissed off voters, like they aren’t worried they could be voted out in future elections. hmmm…i wonder why?

Apropos of nothing,
TP makes a great yard decoration,
dog shit is great under the car door handles, and
roofing nails sparkle in the moonlight when tossed on a driveway.

True.
But if you are wealthy, at best it is avoiding citizen responsibilities, through to dodgy tax minimisation, outright tax evasion.
Criminal neglect of the society.
And campaigning for tax cuts is perhaps worse.
Where does "explaining" stand?
Bring on the French Revolution encore!
Oh wait ... 😥😥😥😭

Will we STILL have that ?!
Everyone gets an angry townhaaaallll!!
If #Felon47 & Nole are following Yarvin's "plan," t/dissolution of Congress is next, followed by the dissolution of the States.
Perhaps they should be worrying about that instead of threats to their person and career?

People won’t be able to do anything about it. They are very quickly insulating themselves.
Also, keep your eyes open. Many distractions going on with padding their rich billionaire buddies.
The added bonus will also be to gut OBAMA CARE via MEDICAID. Red areas will SUFFER!!
