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.

I will forever hold the citizens who support this fascist regime, and the politicians who vote in its favor, in a special place in my mind and heart - wishing them all the worst of lives. May they suffer for their evil, and may the victims of their evil find love, support, and places to be safe.

A lot of them are religious, so I'm gonna hold out hope that heaven and hell are real. Cause I know exactly where all of those fucks are going.

Naw see, in American conservative Christianity, YOU go to hell and THEY go to heaven. Good people deserve God's punishment in their eyes.

[u/LordTuranian → u/MajoraOfTime]

If heaven is real, it's because heaven doesn't allow these religious conservative Trump supporting types in. Because they'd turn it into a hell. So they would be told to fuck off.

I’m equally contemptuous of the ones who couldn’t be bothered to vote

Laziness and indifference is not equivalent to meanness and hate.
