The worst part:
It greatly expands ICE detentions and enforcement: […] more than $100 billion in new funding for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement through 2029. […] It would ramp up mass deportations to an unprecedented scale; create hastily built, sordid detention centers across the country; and all but ensure that millions of people who haven’t been accused of crimes are disappeared.”
Fucking ABC Australia is treating this like a good thing as i sit in the work canteen.
I hate the Yankee dicksucking of the media so much.
And they didn't even really try to hide it - the tax cuts for the top 1% are pretty much exactly equal to the Medicaid cuts.
So millions of Americans are losing their healthcare so that a few thousand can afford bigger yachts and more mansions, and not just in a sort of roundabout sense, but in an officially mandated transfer directly from the poor to the rich.
If the world was just, every single Congressperson who voted in favor of this bill would face criminal charges for every single avoidable death that it will cause.
If the world was just:
The worst bill so far.
This.
I wonder when they're going to push through the Enabling Act
Did you see that Gestapo budget? This is it.
Fortunately the dems can filibuster that in the senate indefinitely
Dems don't filibuster, don't be delusional. This bill included so much funding for Trump's Gestapo is basically this act. ICE is already a completely unaccountable, militarized force, directly at his command. Now they basically have a blank check.
they made sure its omnibus conciliation bill so it cant be filibustered.
Of course, only Republicans exploit a government majority trifecta so skillfully. Democrats just get Chuck Schumer's stern looks and strongly worded letters, instead.
No, they can't. It passed the senate before this house vote.
I was talking about The Enabling Act.
The reason almost everything in the MAGA agenda is in this one bill is because it's the senate-filibuster-proof yearly budget bill. Any other bill the MAGAts try to shove through can be blocked by the dems.
Ah, misunderstood. You're right then, as far as it goes. The Democrats could theoretically filibuster any other bills, but I'll believe it when I see it. So far they've demonstrated the spine of a flatworm.
Republicans: "Hold my beer."
Think this will induce enough death and suffering to wake some of the magats up? Yeah, me neither.
The death and suffering is what magats want to see
They'll just blame immigrants
and Biden and Obama. It's always the previous Dem prez's fault.
They are just like the progressives because they will still blame the democrats.

worst, more likely predictable bill.
😭
The GOP threat was to primary anyone who voted no. They did it to be yes men and not get primaried.

That's the only thing that matters. The rest is neither justification nor excuse.
Ofc not. But it’s an abject showing of what you can count on them for going forward.
and the token susan collins and muroswki votes against were just perfomative, they were going to vote for it anyways, they know they have the safety numbers to vote against it.
Not for them. Ghouls
