I’d like to see this happen.

Consistently. At every press conference.

A good way to destroy this administration and their attack on American democracy is to put a wedge between Trump and Musk.

We’ve got to get Musk out at all costs. And then Trump.

lunalf.bsky.social•89 days ago

I like to send this to the turd. And say, “how do you like our new president?”

ladyjay5025.bsky.social•89 days ago

That is all really fucked up

Indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists you need to worry about, not someone from another country, they're right in your backyard, running multi-billion dollar corporations, and holding office.
Your oppression is their profession

When maga finally wakes up to what it means for them, we'll see how the cookie crumbles...

Psycho musk says we have to cut government waste like helping Americans, but we have the money for this government waste. Arrest him now!

donellgmab.bsky.social•89 days ago

And when he writes an executive order to eliminate the senate and house?

The thing you aren't realizing is that egg prices are affected directly by the number of human beings we treat with dignity

ianrobo.bsky.social•89 days ago

one thing to remeber they are doing all the illegal shit as unlikely to get it through the house ? so how many GOP house members could rebel ?

cecilypersephone.bsky.social•89 days ago

They only get away with this shit because Republican/Nazi voters are dumber than turds. Their ignorance is the ruination of America. Patriots, my ass.

mykel11.bsky.social•89 days ago

Good to see the GOP lowering the deficit 🙄

rebeccablood.bsky.social•89 days ago

They are always after Medicaid, literally the most vulnerable people in the country.

This is seniors in assisted living, BTW, after they've spent down their entire life savings.

joekatz45.bsky.social•89 days ago

It's disgusting

rebeccablood.bsky.social•89 days ago

I don't quite understand it, except that they think these people are unable to fight back?

joekatz45.bsky.social•89 days ago

Well. That plus the Other Thing (Medicaid is associated with Them)

robinkgood.bsky.social•89 days ago

medicaid is associated with who?

robinkgood.bsky.social•89 days ago

yes. plus, the cruelty is the point with these cretins. they believe the myth that the majority of the ppl who receive medicaid are freeloaders when in fact that is a very small % of those who receive benefits.

gingerloubrown.bsky.social•89 days ago

My sister is in hospice and is on Medicaid
I'm so angry!

robinkgood.bsky.social•89 days ago

it's not just seniors who receive medicaid. ppl who are unable to work due to a disability or chronic illness do too. plus ppl recovering from addiction often receive medicaid to pay for their their housing, therapy & treatment costs. all of them (in addition to seniors) could end up on the streets.

I’m so glad I got my to see my dentist and eye doctor today.

melindamazoue.bsky.social•89 days ago

That’s a lot of deportations! With Elon cutting costs and actual Departments, should we all be getting huge tax cuts?

kathy78.bsky.social•89 days ago

11 trillion dollars OMG we all need to get W4 form from employer and change withholding status to EXEMPT for the entire 2025 year but save money and pay bill in April 2026 when it's due

bebesbirdhouse.bsky.social•89 days ago

Pretty sure none of these ppl can do math and none of them understand how any of this works. It's a sorry tale and I'm ashamed.

curvygreek.bsky.social•89 days ago

yes! these are all "concepts of plans" and none of them have even been worked out on the back of of a diner menu first

joekatz45.bsky.social•89 days ago

Not one fucking cent for mass deportations btw

Congress members have had time to buy up shares in transport and lodging of said illegals. Troops are removing their ID from their uniforms during handling wonder why?

curvygreek.bsky.social•89 days ago

I was going to say "we don't need to spend $350B" on mass deportations but "not one fucking cent" is better messaging

lunalf.bsky.social•89 days ago

Holy crap. I can envision the lightbulbs beginning to flicker in MAGA LAND soon.

Luke 6:20-21

“Then he looked up at his disciples and said: ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.’ “

Where are they getting that deportation money?

Massive cuts

metalmomma13.bsky.social•89 days ago

Medicaid, SS, Medicare cuts

joekatz45.bsky.social•89 days ago

Medicaid

1tony.bsky.social•89 days ago

Gutting or deleting these programs equates to deleting Americans and that is their ultimate plan. 🤔

Give me three examples that show the GOP doesn’t understand the economy…

jimmy2loaves.bsky.social•89 days ago

He's just trying to grab the biggest bag possible before he gets run out of this country on a rail. Him and all his oligarch buddies. If this power grab fails, which it will, they will flee the country and leave us all as penniless as possible. That's all this is. It's a heist.

if you voted for the orange headed minutes, you will not have resources from our government, that you deserve it.

Yep he’s cutting spending alright & we the taxpayers will pay for all of this.

vicbastard.bsky.social•89 days ago

This is what Musk is working on. They'll announce they have magically created $2T in federal cuts so they can pass the tax bill.

tpaineweneedyou.bsky.social•88 days ago

Trumplicans and their policies are going to get people killed. Alive and not yet with these policies people will die.

How can the population accept cuts to medical care for the less fortunate and huge tax cuts to the wealthy???

Are they THAT masochists??

twocanoes.bsky.social•89 days ago

We need ranked choice voting (RCV). Ranked choice voting reduces the liklihood of electing radical candidates.

“WaPo: Senate Republicans Propose $350 Billion for Mass Deportations”
This quadruples ICE’s budget. They’ll “deport” more than immigrants.

joekatz45.bsky.social•89 days ago

American Immigration Council estimates full mass deportation will cost almost a trillion over ten years

extinctionbeliever.bsky.social•88 days ago

Whole economy would collapse long before they got close to full mass deportation. My understanding is that AG and Construction sectors are seeing negative result just from the fear being generated.

Too late, we just screwed ourselves by sitting out 2024.

The conclusion from what they are doing is harm America and harm its citizens but enrich its billionaires and spend the rest of its money getting rid of brown people.

minoastrauss.bsky.social•89 days ago

$350 billion could solve so muuuuuuccchhhhh
