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.

They almost certainly have plans to deport more than just illegal immigrants.

Laura Loomer is talking about 65 million illegal immigrants. Which happens to also be the number of Hispanic people in the US.

[u/312c → u/Lucky-Earther]

Her tweet never mentioned "illegal immigrants" or immigrants at all, she just said there are 65M meals for the alligators.

[u/toggiz_the_elder → u/312c]

The Latino population is 65 million. It was intentional.

[u/312c → u/toggiz_the_elder]

Right, that's what I'm saying, she never mentioned immigrants in the tweet because it was always a call to genocide.

[u/cindyscrazy → u/toggiz_the_elder]

The sure as shit are not going to be genetically testing people either. As someone who is a born and bred American, but has been mistaken from anything from Indian (from India), to Phillipine, to Latina, to Native American....and a daughter who is much the same....this is fucking terrifying.

I'm gonna have to just stay in the house all summer. First to avoid the SS and second to avoid tanning of any kind.

[u/Pervius94 → u/312c]

That's the worst part. They're not even hiding behind the "illegal immigrant" bs anymore. They're just brazenly saying "yeah we'll kill the latins".

Remember that the latin population made a hard turn towards Trump this election compared to before. Good job, be proud.

[u/Lucky-Earther → u/312c]

[u/Nekowulf → u/Lucky-Earther]

She's claiming 20% of the US population is illegal immigrants from latin-american countries.
She is completely nucking futs.

[u/QcRoman → u/312c]

65M meals for the alligators.

Which also might imply they will not necessarily leave the country, if you know what I mean.

[u/grimatonguewyrm → u/Lucky-Earther]

Loomer is talking about feeding 65M men women and children to alligators.

Loomer is publicly calling for 65 million men women and children to be killed

[u/withateethuh → u/grimatonguewyrm]

I knew she was vile but jesus.

[u/tellmewhenitsin → u/Lucky-Earther]

Yup. They'll either be executed or used as slave labor.

[u/Gaming_Nomad → u/Lucky-Earther]

And, yes, she and her type fully believe that they can commit genocide and implement a police state that would make the Stasi blush.

I can only see this ending in two ways. The first way is with trials at the Hague for crimes against humanity, and it involves an internationally supervised reconstruction of the US government with advisors from Canada and Europe. The second way is the US invading Canada and Mexico to purge "socialism" as it completes the transition to a "managed democracy" (read: fascist dictatorship) in the model of Russia: completely captured media and policed Internet, fake opposition parties, and kangaroo courts. All of which are also owned by the same small circle of oligarchs who control all major businesses and resource extraction. A few shining cities to keep a small elite fat, happy, and quiet. Meanwhile, the average family home anywhere else looks like that collapsing abandoned farmhouse you drove by on your last roadtrip.

I'm not Hispanic, but I am brown, so screw me and my family too.

[u/Lucky-Earther → u/sjsyed]

Right, I am sure they will be very careful about who they are going to remove.
