FAFO

ITCHYP,

When you did your research, did you identify the chain of command for the AOC? Is that role independent of Congressional oversight? Does the AOC have control over the budget? Is the AOC simply refusing to put up the plaque in a silo, ignoring the allocated funds to do so?

It is ironic that the people who claim that the violent J6 rioters were all Deep State/Antifa are also opposed to a plaque, honoring the Capitol Hill Police who were fighting the Deep State/Antifa rioters all day ...

I can't wait for folks who are not understanding how this will cut Medicare (among other things, it's a brutal bill) to twist themselves into pretzels trying to argue that it's the Democrats' fault.

FDT was right. He could shoot an infant on Fifth Avenue, then mutilate its corpse, feed it to a few Repubican Congressmen on live TV, and not lose a single voter.

BILLJOHNSON,

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Read the CBO PDF (comments 19&20 upthread). If you still can't figure it out, there's no point in engaging you.

No, we can thank the Repubican Party for finding clever ways to ruin us all.

Bill Johnson:

#19, #20

Stop wasting other peoples's time feigning ignorance.

You wanted all of this. Congratulations, I hope it affects you as deeply as it does the victims of the felonious rapist you foisted on us all...

Where's the MRGA crowd on this thread to argue that the bill does not specifically say, in writing, "we're going to add $3 trillion in debt to the economy over the next 10 years," and then argue that it's a good thing to take health care away from millions of people because some grandma in Kansas defrauded Medicare by getting an extra mammogram a couple of years ago? They are cheering for billionaires being able to buy another super yacht by stripping food money from poor people ... just what Jesus would've done!

------- doesn't know the difference between the deficit and the debt. It feels like the tea bag days of "keep your government hands off my Medicare" arguments all over again.

Get some new talking points, you MRGA losers.

Another cultist who doesn't understand the difference between interest, debt and deficits. What a surprise.

Tell us you don't understand economics without telling us you don't understand economics ...

Someone is triggered, but it ain't me, LOL.

Haha, I was talking about GW Bush, who inherited a surplus and turned it into debt. Obama mostly righted the ship, until FDT blew it all up again ... then Biden dug us out and now here we are again.

That you used the word, "rationally," in your comment made me chuckle. Clearly, you have some unresolved issues surrounding your own sexuality, but I don't want to get into your hatred of people that make you uncomfortable. It's the Christofascist creep show of youth pastors and Repubican porn addicts that keep getting arrested for diddling minors, not drag queens.

I mean, the guy who bankrupted multiple casinos, was convicted of felony business fraud, is prohibited from operating charities because he stole from kids with cancer ... the list goes on endlessly ... THAT guy is the pinnacle of rational economic policy? Really? You don't sound rational at all.

You sound like a Libertarian. Easy to spot, because you open with a Socratic, reasonable argument and about 3 minutes in, the bat guano crazy comes out. Nobody can have a rational conversation with you because you are clearly not a serious person. Especially if you find merit in anything that the "bad orange man" is doing. That dude can't string two coherent sentences together due to his advanced dementia and malignant narcissism ...

You have fun creating new accounts, sock puppet. Defend your demented rapist cult leader if you must, but spare us all the laughable attempt to de-clownify Project 2025. It's better if you just own it. Go all-in with the crazy.

You are so wrong about so many things at once here I don't really want to bother, but:
1- I'm not a "Trumper" or a "fascist" - Sure, Jan.
2- I'm honest enough, please call me on a lie if you can, or dispense with your bad opinion - Intellectual dishonesty is a common trait of the don't-label-me/"Just asking qwestiuns" crowd.
3- I'm not "channeling" anyone, and for that matter have never seen a single 'podcast' to refer to - If you have never seen a single podcast', then how do you know you're not channeling them? You sound exactly like those guys.
4- Medicare is per se not impacted by the bill, as you noted any cuts would be due to Biden's PAYGO law - Obama was president when Congress implemented PAYGO in 2010. Deficits only matter when a Democrat is in the White House ... increasing the deficit isn't in the bill, per se ... it's just what happens when you stop collecting tax revenues and then spend like drunken sailors. Repubicans are bad for the economy.
5- None of my snips are from any "russian propaganda" sites. Hint, you can google any of my snips to discover their source, since I pick them up directly instead of rephrasing them per agenda like your OPies here. - Since your alias is only 3 months old, we don't have a lot of history. I'm sure your perspective is completely independent and the lockstep alignment with right wing media is purely coincidental.
6- You have no idea how I voted, presuming says more about you than about me. - You're right, I don't even know if you even vote. Looking at your comment history, however, I'm comfortable with my presumption.

Tornadoes are a hoax. I don't believe anyone was affected by the Deep State weather AI.

Nobody in Mississippi needs FEMA, they're all rich Repubicans.

Hopefully, he'll be broke in a couple of years, when those margin calls come in.

China pays the tariffs. All these companies need to eat the cost. That's what president dementia Donald says. Oh look, he thinks Bruce Springsteen, 3 years younger than him, has bad skin.

covfefe

The cuts amount to about $500 billion, automatically triggered by the statutory pay-as-you-go ... since none of you Trumper fascists are honest, you can check out the CBO. You can channel your inner Charlie Kirk or Ben Shapiro all you want, but nobody is going to do the work for you. How about you explain to us how Medicare is untouched by this budget bill instead?

You voted for this, hope you're happy.

You will see risk is low and doesn't become significant until 50+ years old.

Interesting that you would post this information in a post about denying vaccines to people under 65. I guess all those 50-64 year-olds are on their own. Good luck!

Kentucky should've elected someone other than Moscow Mitch and Ayn Rand Paul. Too bad for them, I hope they don't want any of my California tax dollars to bail them out. Let them beg for money from Qatar.

I can't wait to see the infrastructure under those tanks fall apart. Repubicans are stupid people, and they chose a remarkably stupid man to lead them.

Maybe the terrorist supporters from Qatar will pay to repair the roads, water mains and sewage drains when the Dear Leader parade is over.

God this is the stupidest timeline...

You think Trump is going to bankrupt China or something?

China is going to bankrupt the USA in short order, so maybe the comparison isn't entirely wrong.

The Ag embargo is going to decimate farmers, and our ports are now moving 30% less product here in SoCal.

In about 6 weeks, we'll all be here, going through this self-inflicted, pointless economic downturn together, while the MRGA maroons whine about imaginary boogeymen and a handful of trans athletes just trying to be recognized as human beings and left alone.

Total clown. Everyone who ever voted for him is a total clown, as well. Hopefully, he dies soon and the clown show won't have the head clown to lead them into armageddon.

Congratulations, MRGA losers! You destroyed the country in under 100 days.

We won't be recovering from most of this, and it's 100% ON YOU.
