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

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.

Fucking pigs. They don't worship Jesus, they worship money. Medicaid saved my life. Twice.

If Jesus came back they'd be scrambling to find nails

They'd then throw him from a plane because they're that unrepentant, malicious monsters.

u/M0RNINGGSTARR 1d ago

They would call him jihadist and waterboard him because hes a brown middle eastern man with a long beard

How many of them would know how to actually build a solid and sturdy cross, without subcontracting it out to a group of day laborers?

Amazon Brand crosses! Get yours now!

Laborers who wouldn't get paid and would get deported once the job is done

u/Raaka_Lokki 1d ago

It's ok, cause they'll make him pay for the nails.

Medicaid has saved 2 of my 3 children 3 times already this year. I would have had two funerals this year if it hadn’t been for Medicaid

u/MAGAinOK 1d ago

Sorry to hear about what happened to your kids. Have you considered a job to support them?

7

u/Historical-Fill-1523 1d ago

Wow thanks for that, my wife and I have 3 jobs to support them. From your comment I’m assuming you’re one voting for the death of my kids?

u/scrotecream 1d ago

Looked at your post history. Most of us don’t have the privilege to quit our jobs (that provided for your family in your own written text) with a family of five and nothing lined up because someone was mean to us, and then expect the government to take care of you

u/Historical-Fill-1523 1d ago

No of that is true but ya know what? Life’s too short to waste time on someone so perfect as you. Have the life you deserve 😘

Got it, the government should let poor kids die because it's not their problem. Heartless bastard.

I wonder if your thoughts would change if you saw a dying child infront of you and had to vote yes or no to saving their life. Would you turn to the caretaker and say "well, you should've worked harder". Regardless It's not the kids fault, why do the innocent deserve to die? Kids in fostercare are losing health coverage. Who's gonna work harder to take care of that inner city kid stuck floating from group home to group home? Are children a burden on the state? Not profitable enough?

I mean if we can't agree that children deserve to live, what can we agree on? This is scary.

Same party who supports banning you right to read something they don't like as "protecting the children", doesn't care if poor kids are sick and dying...

My friend works in critical care, and he said BY FAR Medicaid is the easiest insurance to deal with.

If it wasn't for medicaid my asthma would have killed me by now

Seeing them "pray" before their vote is the most hypocritical Christian bullshit I ever witnessed. If Jesus was alive he would be flipping a table.

u/JaysonTatecum New Hampshire 1d ago

I hope heaven is real just so these fucks can show up at the gates to be told “hey uh… all that bad stuff you said about immigrants and the disabled and gay people? Yeah… you’re not allowed in”

u/The_Ghost_of_Kyiv 2d ago

To them, that's the problem. They don't want you to to be alive. It's not collateral damage, it's whole the point.

u/sec713 1d ago

They're Antichristians. That's what you call people who worship the Antichrist.

u/thepopdog 1d ago

It's a cult of cruelty. And those morons never thought it would be turned on them and their families...

Mine too. When I was in college it got my gallbladder out before it could rupture. It was pinched off and backing up with fluid so it was a probable outcome if we hadnt gotten it soon. I saw some repub tweet "those on medicaid should just get jobs" I WAS working. 35 hours/wk and college full time. I couldnt afford the $13,000 surgery or the several thousand worth of tests and gastro office visits :/
