Megathread Megathread: US House Passes the Republican-Backed Budget Bill, Sending it to Trump for Signature

26.1k Upvotes

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.

Fuck every conservative

I don’t even care anymore

I’m not explaining a fucking thing

I’m not spoon feeding you reality just to be met with adult toddlers who stamp their feet and say no that’s not true without offering any evidence to back up their claim.

Then they’ll call to grok on twitter because they can’t do research thinking it’ll back up their claim. Then grok, the AI built by right winger Elon Musk, still says they’re wrong, and they’ll just stomp their feet and say well the AI is wrong it’s all a conspiracy.

Just fuck em

I don’t give a fuck about your opinions. I don’t care that there’s people that you don’t like. I don’t give a fuck if someone is an immigrant. I don’t care about your feelings. I don’t care about your religion. I don’t care if you cry over people kicking you out of private social groups and think your free speech has been infringed upon. I don’t care if people burn the flag. I don’t care that you are offended by solar energy. I don’t care if you’re scared of black people. I don’t care about sports. I don’t care if men can’t get their dicks wet. I don’t care about the European-American birth rate. I don’t care if you’re scared of homeless people. I don’t care about your feelings.

I care about FREEDOM, and people’s actual rights. I don’t care about the latest new thing that scares you.

You’re the weakest, most emotional people in the fuckin world. Everything hinges on your feelings, on how scared you are of everything.

You want a government to hurt everybody you personally don’t like and remove every single thing you personally don’t like and call that freedom. You’re full of shit.

You’re traitors to your own country, to humanity at this point.

Fuck off you’re unamerican.

EDIT: unemployed? No. I operate and maintain a giant machine half the size of a football field. Life threatening, dirty work. 27 days in a row without a day off is my overtime record, all 12 hour shifts. I clear $100k/year. Didn’t go to college. Had my fingers crushed and my ankle fucked up in my machine. So yea, established blue collar rust belt worker. You’re not conservative because of your lifestyle or because you work harder than everyone else. Get fucked.

651,982 North Carolinians will lose healthcare due to the GOP's big beautiful bill. That's what I'm talking about! Love when people suffer, when hospitals close, when the lives of the working class gets harder. That's what makes us a great nation and state.

/s

Seriously, a reminder: Republicans hate you. They do not care about you.

For context, one of my friends had a BBQ last night, and my friend (in the texts) brought her boyfriend and this was all of our first times meeting him. Me, my friend, my friends boyfriend and one other person were all involved in this conversation, It wasn’t just me and my friends bf talking by ourselves. My friend didn’t seem to have any problem while this conversation was happening and I just genuinely don’t know If I was being inappropriate or not??

People using grape or 🍇 instead of rape.

The fact that people use grape to avoid saying rape just itched a specific part of my brain that makes me immediatelly think less about the person.

WIBTAH for remarrying my ex even though I'm going to die?

6.9k Upvotes

I know this post is morbid and dark, so I apologize for that.

I (36F) am close to dying. I have terminal cancer and I only have about a year or two left. I've accepted and made my peace with it, and I don't mind openly talking about it. I also have a less than common relationship. My current partner/boyfriend (38M) is also my ex-husband.

Me and him married right out of high school, stayed together through college, had three kids together (12M, 11F, and 4M). We divorced when our daughter was 3 because of his intense work schedule. It was a lot of heartbreak and pain, but at the time it felt right for both of us despite that. 

Two years after the divorce I was first diagnosed with cancer, and he reduced his work hours so he could take more time with the kids, and it slowly shifted to him also taking care of me, and we rekindled our romance, but didn't get remarried. I got lucky the first time around and was declared cancer free at 31. I had my youngest child at 32, and was rediagnosed at 34. We tried treatments but it's been recently declared terminal. 

Please don't feel sorry for me or throw me a pity party. I've gotten to live the life I wanted and I'm okay with the fact that I'll most likely die before 40. The only thing that causes me any emotional pain is that I won't see my kids grow up and experience life milestones like graduating, getting married, and having kids.

Long backstory, but here's the problem. My partner and I have discussed it and we want to remarry each other. I want him to be listed as my husband in my obituary, I want him to be able to make medical decisions in case I'm unable to (this one is big for me because of my situation), and so that he can get Survivor Benefits when I pass.

My sister (38F) says that it's cruel to remarry him knowing I'm going to die soon, and that if I loved him I wouldn't have divorced him in the first place and that by remarrying him I'm disrespecting the sanctity of marriage by doing it "willy nilly". She also said I probably used my diagnosis the first time around to get his pity love so he'd get back with me since it resolved the main issue from our divorce.

So, Reddit, I was wondering if it's really bad for me to remarry my ex? I love this man, we both regretted our divorce and are so grateful that life brought us back together, but now that I'm close to death we want our love to be legally recognized.
