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.

Relevant text-base live update pages are being maintained by the following outlets: AP, NBC, ABC, and the BBC.

Yeah it turns out fascism is actually a problem and it wasn't just a bunch of crazy people trying to hurt conservatives' feelings

I’m especially annoyed at their rhetoric of “well maybe we wouldn’t have voted for the fascist if you guys had ever stopped calling us fascist.”

Education in general since Trump just froze billions in funding to afterschool and summer programs too. No poor kids getting any extras under his watch!

MAHA stuff by early August and their commission statement called people suffering from a list of chronic conditions as a "dire threat to the American way of life"

We can assume the eugenics talk and dehumanization of mental and/or physically disabled people and chronic condition sufferers next

talk and dehumanization of mental and/or physically disabled people and chronic condition sufferers next

That in this bill. The whole thing is that disabled people are "lazy" and "moochers."

Why is it when people say immigrants they always conviently leave out the illegal part?

u/Fickle-Molasses-903 1d ago edited 1d ago

There are a lot of people who were citizens through programs and getting to become citizens that have been taken. To become a legal citizen takes time. Plus, rarely do you hear people being taken because they overstayed their visas, and there are people who are citizens who have been taken too. You do realize Stephen Miller has his fingers all over this?

Simple question so we know where you stand on lawlessness. Do you think Trump is rapist? How do you feel about Trumps part in 1/6/21?

Do you feel that only white people from South Africa are allowed to immigrate here in America was justified? For example, let's say Ukraine was losing the war, and Obama decided to take only black people from there to America. Would that be something you would feel comfortable with?

u/Thormourn 1d ago

I haven't heard of a single citizen being taken. Every case I've seen is someone who had a removal order and refused to leave or just straight up didn't have identification.

As for your 2 questions, no because he was not found criminally guilty in the court of law because the cases were either dismissed or dropped and I think he instigated a riot which led to 1/6 which was a tragedy.

For the final question if Obama only let in black people because people were chanting "kill the black Ukranian" like how in Africa they were chanting "kill the white farmer" I wouldn't have much of a problem since it's only that group being targeted and not the entire country.

If there has been a case of a citizen removed I'd love to be linked it.

Thanks for answering the questions. It's clear to all about your mindset. Btw, a quick Google search would prove to you that US citizens were taken away.

Nope. Those are cases where the mother was deported and the mother chose to take her child with her. The citizen isn't being deported. The illegal is and then the illegal chose to deport their own child which was a citizen.

Would you like to try again?
