Can it truly be a betrayal when everyone knew it was going to happen

downthehobbithole.bsky.social•10 days ago

What are you doing to make sure this monstrosity doesn’t make it past the senate? What’s the plan?

grammacappy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes. I hope people are listening. That’s the problem with shock and awe. People get sick of listening to this shit. Overwhelmed.

It's all eugenics: remove supports for those with any health problems, allow illnesses preventable with common vaccines to run rampant. Billionaires get bunkers.

cmaiytt.bsky.social•9 days ago

We are running out of time. What are you going to do about this?

hillz8.bsky.social•9 days ago

Remember when trump said he would build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it, remember when he said that he would have a a fabulous healthcare plan in 2 weeks?
The only promises he ever comes good with are tax cuts for himself and his rich friends and he doesn’t even pay taxes!

Hi Staff person writing his posts - TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY SLIPPED IN TO NEUTER THE COURTS

trueblue2024.bsky.social•9 days ago

THIS. They want to silence the lower Court Judges because they are our last defense. They are trying to remove our last check and balance

They are a bunch of gutless cowards. May they never have a moment of peace while their own conscience wears on them for the rest of their lives.

beachbard.bsky.social•9 days ago

Republican Members of Congress act as if they will never face another election.
Pushing through a bill that will harm many of the people they supposedly represent in service of an ultra wealthy few who have too much & already benefit disproportionately from our government.
Of, by, & for the people?

judyds.bsky.social•9 days ago

Get ready for the biggest protest in American history. Find a protest near you! They are in all 50 States. The people know what's going on and are sick and disgusted with the bs. Get the word out, Copy the memes and paste in every comment section of every post on every platform.

jnshaumeyer.bsky.social•9 days ago

Please continue to use the word "betrayal" frequently.

I'm glad we still have some folks in D.C. that give a shit about us. Thank you, and keep fighting!

hyenagirl64.bsky.social•9 days ago

They are taking away transition card for transgender adults on Medicaid. For no reason. This will drive thousands of trans people to suicide and force others to get their care via the black or grey markets.

Will they ever stop hurting us?

openthewindows.bsky.social•10 days ago

Income inequality.

The richest want to starve the poorest and suck everything they can from middle class.

openthewindows.bsky.social•9 days ago

The working class and middle class are being fucked over by billionaires whether it’s R’s or D’s.

Trump or Musk
Zuckerberg, Bezos or Pichai
Dalio or Gates or Buffett

It’s never enough.
They think their better/smarter/more worthy.

But its just greed

Just take and take and take.

jmansuy.bsky.social•9 days ago

You guys need to fix this because I fear what happens if the American people finally stand up.

They have made it so laws no longer matter.

It will be a blood bath, and some of us will not see the end.

Hopefully, when we rebuild, we decide to take care of everyone, not just the rich.

It would be a betrayal if he wasn't expected to do what he is doing. That's not the case we knew he was going to do this.

America is in its Trump Era.

vols71.bsky.social•9 days ago

In their budget bill they give also give Trump the power to designate any non profits he fears as “terrorist-supporting organization” that then loses their tax-exempt status, effectively putting them out of business like Harvard, ACLU, Planned Parenthood.

mdavey10.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trump's Bill gives a trillion dollars in tax benefits to millionaires, kicks 10 million people off health care. It's the biggest wealth transfer from the poor to the rich in U.S. History. At least it does other 'important things' like give a billion dollars in tax breaks for buying gun silencers.

texaspleen.bsky.social•9 days ago

What's the betrayal? Trump is delivering what he promised, it is not his fault Americans lack the intelligence to process spoken and written speech

The Great Trump Betrayal?

This is standard US politics turned up a notch.

Look how long the rich have been robbing Americans.

Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, Trump again...it just gets worse every year...doesn't matter who gets to the WH.

demokrator.bsky.social•10 days ago

Just compare the months of debate over Obamacare. They’re trying to do this in the middle of the night because they know it won’t be popular.

amazing how they have so much energy. i recall when we were in power, proposals of moderate protections for the working class were derided as a "green dream," before the leadership went to sleep to dream corporate dreams. just imagine having representatives working around the clock, but for families

glennstorm.bsky.social•10 days ago

* now with all new cuts to MediCARE, according to the CBO *

tubeamphum.bsky.social•9 days ago

Idk that I can ‘like’ this but I get what you mean

glennstorm.bsky.social•9 days ago

ikr?

glennstorm.bsky.social•10 days ago

(psst. Trump administration, your disinformation is showing)

even Republican Congress is divided on it

Dems have been fighting in Congress
GOP would love folks to fight Dems instead

we can all agree

those with too much should help
and those with less can be helped

eileenhstuff.bsky.social•9 days ago

Please tell everyone if they take food shelter or insurance from our families We The People will work tirelessly to get them fired.

Do what is right and stop these cuts.

mattjg76.bsky.social•9 days ago

And since Dems just post comments while waiting for the midterms the MAGA GOP will continue. Why won't you fight back forcefully now like you said you would instead of sitting by waiting 18 months? Your words are empty because you won't act like you said you would. We deserve better.

notoriousyim.bsky.social•9 days ago

What do you mean by fight back "forcefully" having Democrats throw fist at GOP? Or grabbing a gun and shoot them?

mattjg76.bsky.social•9 days ago

Sen van hollen said we must 'fight back forcefully' in his press release in March so I remind him of his words.

dottiesun.bsky.social•9 days ago

@vanhollen.senate.gov Please do everything you can to prevent this bill from passing.

They have money for a stupid border wall but not to feed hungry kids or help the elderly or working poor w/Medicaid? BS All greedy mf’ers. Vote them tf out.
