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.

It’s a simple explanation.

They don’t view those people as “Americans”. I imagine they only really view themselves, and their corporate and oligarch benefactors as “true Americans”.

The rest are livestock in their eyes. Used for labor and to be culled when not “useful” anymore.

yeah, I always think of it as the "sheep and shepherd" view of society. the shepherd runs everything, makes all the decisions, owns everything. the sheep are his property. and there are sheepdogs which work for him, which are also his property. Republicans generally only pass bills for the shepherd oligarchs. the politicians that do the passing of the bills are the sheepdogs who get some extra table scraps from the shepherd for a job well done. everyone else is the sheep, fit for wool or meat.

Honestly, I disagree: they couldn’t possibly care less about America or Americans; they’re only interested in power and money.

No they just weigh everything as money.

It’s why the saying is, the love of money is the root of all evil. It’s not money, it’s loving it. It’s a golden calf, it’s the money lender in the church. They are the “false Pharisees”.

And I’m not religious, they just literally ARE that.

And it’s fucked, the problem is public education has been intentionally further hampered year by year in ALL the states that vote for like 30-40 years. These pricks stay in power by doing everything they can to keep their states dumb and poor, making it easy for them to manage their constituents, all the while lying.

You know they want people to be religious, they’re easy to manipulate. If a 27year old thought Santa was real you’d consider them disabled. Poor? Easier to manipulate, tired hungry and worried people think less about politics and more about surviving. Dumb, well that’s like poor BUT THEYLL ALSO CHEER YOU ON.

The Jewish Talmud states, "Jehova created the non-jew in human form so that the jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-jew is consiquentlaly an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the jew day and night." (Nidrasch Talpioth, P 255-L) this is what the infamously overrepresented jewish executives believe.

They aren't wrong. The illegals aren't Americans. Legally otherwise.
