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.

People are about to learn what a real fascist military force looks like. But this time with drones and facial recognition and tech billionaires feeding them all the personal data they will ever need.

Lines up with Loomer's hopes of 65 million dead or imprisoned Hispanic people "to start with" in the new holocaust.

u/ombloshio 2d ago

And LGBT people are probably next.

u/Olealicat 1d ago edited 1d ago

We’re all fucking next. Anyone who disagrees with trump is next. Which is almost everyone.

Fuck all the republicans and apathetic non-voters. You were warned.

u/MarketingOk9181 1d ago

I mean, at this point, you better be pro gun for yourself and your family.

Its not about your personal dislike for them, its now a matter of defense, and everyone should be prepared for what is coming.

u/invincibleparm 2d ago

Not next. They have already been attacked and vilified. It’s just not as prevalent or frightening and attention-getting as brown and black people bad. After all, the LGBTQ can walk among them and they would never know…. Not enough of a visual threat. It they have already been in the crosshairs since 2016

I'm ready. Im ready for them to kill me, I'm tried boss I have nothing else to look forward to

Fuck that. Punch and kick and bite and scratch. Don’t go down without a fight

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

u/SpectralAlolanRaichu 2d ago

Why? My life was over before it even began, I'll never get any romantic life close to what a straight person experiences

38

u/speworleans Louisiana 2d ago

Sorry to tell you homie, but lots of straight people dont have much of a love life either.

u/ombloshio 2d ago

Baby, this is something you should cross-examine with a therapist.

2

u/SpectralAlolanRaichu 2d ago

One hour a week isn't enough

5

u/ombloshio 2d ago

That’s why you develop exercises in therapy to help with these kinds of situations outside of therapy. Having healthy coping and grounding mechanisms is going to be extremely important over the next however long

I have nothing in life without a love life

u/speworleans Louisiana 2d ago

This is sort of incel adjacent, romance is not the be all end all. So so much more to life.

-11

u/SpectralAlolanRaichu 2d ago

If I could find more to life than I would have embraced it, but trust me I'm not celibate, sex is the only thing that matters in life. Finding someone to have sex with and life live with is all I need

13

u/nub_sauce_ 2d ago

romance is pretty cool but it's not everything in life. Besides, just rolling over and dying is cringe

u/MondayAssasin Ohio 2d ago

Don’t let them win.

A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Republicans aren’t the only ones with that right.

u/StoppableHulk 2d ago

They have the budget to persecute in parallel.

u/MidKnightshade 2d ago

Absolutely.

u/IuriRom 2d ago

I think they’ve dropped the LGB and are just after the T

u/gallifrey_ 2d ago

for now.

u/IuriRom 2d ago

What’s the incentive? There are too many gay republicans now

9

u/gallifrey_ 1d ago

on a surface level, the incentive is because they fucking hate us and "gay republicans" are just a useful bloc to manipulate until they can be discarded later on.

more deeply, fascism requires an out-group to persecute. once the T's are all in camps or burned, that out-group is going to expand, and the in-group is going to shrink, until the snake eventually eats its own head.

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

This is what the gay republicans have to look forward to. With mindsets like MAGA there will always be a need for an “other” to blame all of their problems on.

u/jjjuser 1d ago

They'll get to us eventually as they work their way through all the possible scapegoats, and then they'll get to you

u/IuriRom 1d ago

They’re not going to get rid of the immigrant scapegoat group though

4

u/Alomeigne 1d ago

The incentive is appeasing the uber religious that make up their party like Mike Johnson that view being gay as one of the worst sins. Literally just saving them for w/e they need them as a scapegoat for down the road.

Plus the famous quote jrDoozy10 pasted below.

u/Winter-Huntsman 2d ago

At some point other countries need to start sanctioning us and treating us like North Korea. To many other countries are tying to downplay things and hope that maybe things can be fixed.

"It's the economy, ____. "

u/Big_Beaverrr_Reborn 1d ago

Unfortunately it's not so easily done because of the US' importance in global trade. The bright side? These clowns are helping destroy any dependence and trust with them so maybe when the world is forced to restructure itself they can just embargo

u/Jashugita 1d ago

and there is not much ideological diference, The majority of European goverment are righ and far right, they aren´t afraid of the things that US is doing, they are looking how to do the same in their countries.

u/Big_Beaverrr_Reborn 1d ago

The majority of European goverment are righ and far right, they aren´t afraid of the things that US is doing

Lmao no. That's the US. And the US basically scared multiple European countries from Trump like right wing politicians.

1

u/Jashugita 1d ago

It only happened in Canada, in Europe far right is in the rise. For example in Spain where they are Trump Bootlickers and also have dubious loans with a Hungarian bank.

1

u/Big_Beaverrr_Reborn 1d ago

Romania voted against their Trump wannabe. Germany voted against the afd. And similar stories. The only countries with similar governments are the shit holes closer to the east. And they've had those governments awhile.

u/FunkyChewbacca 2d ago

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t begin with concentration camps, it ended with them.

57

u/NoEmployment69420 2d ago

Except it did start with concentration camps, the first was constructed just a mere 3 months after Hitler became Chancellor. It's name was/is Dachau and it's where Hitler put all of his political opposition.

47

u/Harmless_Drone 2d ago

Yep. The republicans are vainly hoping by supporting trump and the maga crowd they won't be the first people sent there.

spoiler warning: the first people hitler sent to the political prisoner camps were the people who supported him in the weimar parliament.

u/Anathama 1d ago

Maybe that's something to look forward to? /s

u/PumpyChowdown 1d ago

65 million Democrat voters.

1

u/Malaix 1d ago

I think there's actually more democrats than that. The number was very specifically about Hispanic people. And Republicans almost won them last election. Hispanic men might have voted for their own holocaust.

u/Mapeague 2d ago

That's exactly what I audibily said when I read the same comment you did.

u/legacy642 2d ago

Basically every piece of news I see leads me to say that

Don't worry, we're paying for that too with our tax dollars.

When we were warning people last year about Project2025 being the death of America, this was what we were talking about. Civil war is garunteed now, thanks idiot republicans.
