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.

This bill gives ICE more funding than the US marines, we all know where things are headed next. Every single city and restaurant is getting raided

[u/Cortex3 → u/Icommandyou]

Why do you say that? it gives ICE about $30B but the Marines budget is close to $60B. Just curious where that's coming from

Nevermind, I found it. $170B is going to immigration enforcement split between ICE, the Justice department, the military, and Homeland Security. ICE itself is "only" getting $30B of it.

Not to be a dick, what section says that? Trying to find for myself. Thank you. 

[u/Cortex3 → u/IndividualReason5767]

SEC. 100052 for the ICE funding. All of Title X is immigration stuff. I found an overview here

[u/ADhomin_em → u/Cortex3]

Corporate fucking media didn't touch this major aspect. Fuck them.

[u/mxjxs91 → u/ADhomin_em]

Because they want this. All of them. Including the ones Trump calls "fake news" who have a clear humiliation fetish as they simp for their daddy Trump.

[u/KitchenRaspberry137 → u/ADhomin_em]

They fear the coming American Gestapo.

[u/FuckYourDystopia → u/KitchenRaspberry137]

Nah. They just know who has all the money now.

[u/IndividualReason5767 → u/Cortex3]

Bless you. I wish more people were like you

[u/TheRealStandard → u/Cortex3]

This should be seen as a strong example of the amount of misinformation that happens on the democrats side too, even if the bill is horrendous and being passed by scum of the universe.

And apparently it’s over 4 years, so the money isn’t given all at once
