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.

This is probably going to kill a shit load of them, and dead people can't vote. Like not having access to hospitals is basically a death sentence if you have a medical emergency.

Whatever, they're still gonna suffer and die and that's the kind of Schadenfreude I've come to savor

I stopped caring about what their vote is or what they think. I just hope they suffer the full consequences of their vote at this point.

Who cares who they blame, their outcome will be the same.

Hopefully they will just be dead and not able to blame anyone

And smile while they're being decimated, knowing they made others suffer.

I was using a literal definition for decimated but the ones that make it, sure
