Don't worry everyone, Trump only has 1296 days left in the office.

I never ever want to hear another conservative whine at me about the budget as long as I live. FiScAl ReSpOnSiBiLiTy my ass.

TBH, I'm increasingly convinced that this is yet another in a series of moves overtly intended to destroy the federal government's legitimacy.

Was it Susan Colin’s or Murkowski that was saying she voted in favor of the bill knowing it was terrible only because she thought the house would fix it? She knew full well the house wouldn’t do shit but approve it. These people are monsters.

MSNBC had murkowski saying something like that

You will hear it from them again and the intended audience will believe it again.

This has been the Republican game since Reagan

I don't want either party to say it. They have failed

Frustrating that there is not a single word in this article about the massive ICE budget increase.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 12 points 10 hours ago

There's no way they need a budget that big for just dealing with illegal immigrants. They must be planning on going after other groups too.

LGBT? Democrats? People of Colour? Scientists? Anyone who disagrees with Trump?

We know where this is headed. I'm waiting for the Americans to figure it out before it's too late.

Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' to give ICE a larger budget than most of the world's militaries

In all, the version of the bill that passed the Senate earlier this week would see the agency receive around $100billion by 2029, $45billion for detention facilities, the same for border wall operations and a further $14billion to fund mass deportations.

This would put ICE’s budget above that of Israel, Italy, Brazil and the Netherlands.

I have no idea who this source is, but it's an interesting headline. https://www.lbc.co.uk/usa/politics/ice-budget-big-beautiful-bill-donald-trump/

It was bound to happen, but I'm still sad it did

I didn't know my disgust could get bigger, but it grew three sizes today.

[–] subignition@fedia.io 20 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It's almost surprising that Democrats unanimously voted against

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 24 points 12 hours ago

It was perfectly safe for them to vote against it knowing it would pass anyway. They get to appear on the right side of things without actually making any sacrifices or hard decisions. If it would have been 50/50, I guarantee we would have seen at least one defection.

Now they have the funding for the Holocaust 2: El Holocausto (seriously its not funny tho and now is the time to prepare for a fully funded police state)

[–] liverbe@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

The answer to the immigration question seems eerily leading to the final solution.

President of death is coming to america again. Brace for impact.
