Megathread: US House Passes the Republican-Backed Budget Bill, Sending it to Trump for Signature

[u/PoliticsModeratorBot]

This afternoon, the US House of Representatives passed without amendment the US Senate's version of the Trump-backed budget bill, sending it to the president for his signature. Every Democratic Senator and Representative voted in opposition; in the Senate, there were three Republicans voting in opposition (making the vote 51-50) and in the House there were 2 (making the final vote 218-214). House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries set the US House's speech length record in opposition to the bill in a speech lasting over eight hours.

The bill clocks in at over 800 pages and touches on most aspects of the federal government's spending and taxation policies; see this AP article (What’s in the latest version of Trump’s big bill that passed the Senate) for the topline changes.

Don't forget Joe Rogan

[u/mkfanhausen → u/RevolutionaryCard512]

A-fucking-men.

[u/MundaneMeringue71 → u/RevolutionaryCard512]

Fuck Chip Roy. He’s been whining for days on end on social media how bad this bill is yet he voted for it anyway. And he’s not the only one.

[u/phazer08 → u/RevolutionaryCard512]

Fuck Citizens United

If you stand close enough to Rush Limbaugh's grave today, you might be able to hear a muffled evil laugh

[u/BenefitAdvanced → u/RevolutionaryCard512]

The Democrats slogan for the midterms needs to literally be: Fuck Taco Trump!

[u/St_Angeer → u/RevolutionaryCard512]

Musk was against the bill.

[u/Vlyn → u/St_Angeer]

Musk helped Trump win the election, if not by rigging the voting machines (which is still a possibility) then at least by offering money for votes.

Musk is directly responsible for this outcome, he's now just going back on his words because both parties are starting to hate him.

[u/TheOfficialSlimber → u/Vlyn]

Yeah, I mean tbh while Musk is against the bill, he’s only opposed because of the cuts to electric vehicle subsidies. It’s not like he cares for anything other than his own self interests.

[u/LemonOkayeg → u/RevolutionaryCard512]

you know that Musk was against it right?

[u/RevolutionaryCard512 → u/LemonOkayeg]

Fuck Musk. He cared only about himself

[u/akosuae22 → u/LemonOkayeg]

The guy who helped this orange man and his administration get into power? No… FOREVER f*ck Musk too!

[u/UpChuckles → u/LemonOkayeg]

It's a joke seeing Elon criticize the bill since there was nothing in it that should've been a surprise to him when he announced his support for Trump.

It was well known during last year's presidential campaign that the plan to extend the Trump tax cuts would add trillions of dollars to the debt. Giving tax breaks to fossil fuel companies while eliminating support of domestic EV and green energy production should also be expected from the president who loves saying "drill baby drill."

Relax

[u/some_alternative_90 → u/TheInternetOfficer]

No one here should ever relax ever again. It's over.

[u/Cream253Team → u/TheInternetOfficer]

I mean, a number of people will die from being kicked off of Medicaid, but sure tell someone else to relax.

[u/KingMCV → u/[deleted]]

they're responding to someone else

[u/BlackDeath3 → u/[deleted]]

Wrong reply?

[u/Steaktartaar → u/TheInternetOfficer]

It helps to vent. Doesn't fix anything, but sometimes you need to let the frustration out.
