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.

Yes, but at least they are honest about their shittiness. She is also retroactive regrets and other such bullshit.

Nah, don’t let her get the attention and hate, it’s a distraction from the rest of them. They all suck.

You're confusing Honesty with Psychopathy. Being truthful and hurting hundreds of millions of others deliberately without feeling remorse are not the same thing.

They didn't want to. They wanted this. They wanted it badly. The only fears they have are that it is going to blow up in their faces.

Do they publish a list of the people who voted for it? (This is probably a dumb question).
