The Washington Post's Dana Milbank Nails It -- Fiscal Conservatives Are Simply A Total, Pathetic Joke In The MAGA Republican Party

[struth]

Wrong again, lightweight.

Whatever you want to say about Biden....he didn't cripple 17 million Americans by taking their Medicaid and add at least $3 trillion to the national debt.

This is easily the worst bill in the history of the country.....and Trump is the worst thing to happen to this country since ******* slavery.

He crippled more

He made a majority of the country worse off

He really did

Not some projection of what could happen

Biden didn't kick 17 million Americans off of Medicaid, mentally ill MAGA Nazi.

This bill kills people....including imbecile MAGA voters such as yourself.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

you guys keep forgetting the constitution doesnt give feds authoritty to be involved in healthcare let alone stealing from one person and giving to another,,

everything I said is proven fact

More MAGA goober lies...."promote the general welfare".

 

[progressive hunter]

More MAGA goober lies...."promote the general welfare".

stealing from one and giving to another isnt general welfare,,

biden also oversaw the largest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich in american history,,

You're a hack !

The need to repletely say MAGA to stay calm has been named echomagalia the American Medical Association has announced.

It’s quite a common thing for liberals with Trump Deranged Syndrome to do. MAGA goes around in thier heads for various reasons they can't explain. For some it comes and goes, and even tho thier exposure to or knowledge of Trump is minimal; and repeating the word makes no difference in changing things...they still repeat it. It gets stuck in thier heads as politicians names / catch phrase do to the point they can't sleep. Fortunately for the country it goes away when the politician leaves office. EG: Remember when GWB / Mission Accomplished was 24-7 news on the satanic news ? Now you don't hear anything about the guy.

Back to echomagalia it is mostly found in people with aphasia, dementia, traumatic brain injury, schizophrenia, but is most often associated with just being ******* goofy. People with echomagalia think all Trump supporters had connections to white supremacist groups and secret handshakes. They think it is patriotic to hate Trump and his supporters. People with echomagalia think it is OK to attack Trump supporters or damage their property. It seems psychological factors from thier youth and not living up to their own expectations have taught them to be like this and deflect thier frustrations.

No matter what President Trump does people suffering from echomagalia try to turn everything into a negative event ! For example if OMB donated $100 MIL to a Veterans ORG...they would say he was doing as a tax write off and just to get more attention.

Medical studies have shown all levels of TDS suffers who experience intense, recurring urges to repeat MAGA commit suicide at a higher rate than the general population.

Who’s it kill?

Xiden killed a record amount of people from covid, not to mention. Millions of Ukrainians, and Jews…on top of making a majority of Americans worse off

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

This bill seals it.

Any Trumpster who claims they're a fountain of fiscal responsibility is either lying or delusional.

Republicans have been lying about that since 1980.

This bill is about a militarized Deep State.

 

[Mac1958]

Republicans have been lying about that since 1980.

The party and the right wing media have been lying to the rubes for that long, and they just keep buying it.

This was their big chance, they got fucked over AGAIN, and now they have to call it a "win" for their self esteem.

Meanwhile, wealth disparity and the debt continue to increase. At their expense. Some "win", huh?

 

[wamose]

If the Democrat party wasn't so inept and evil, the Republican party wouldn't look so good.

 

[EMH]

It is very sad but true, that the fiscal conservatism of the GOP in the 1990s vanished with Faux News, W, and the cause of Zionist Fascism.

A GOP with a base of math invalid Christian (non) "conservatives" doesn't care about numbers, since it doesn't understand basic math. If it did, it would realize stars are actually larger than figs, and "soon" does not mean "more than 2000 years from now."

If Pam Bondi prosecutes the 911 hate hoax, maybe the faux conservative LBJ supporters will go back to the party that has never cared about numbers, the Democrats... because as long as they vote in GOP primaries, we will get Mike Johnson not Newt Gingrich.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

stealing from one and giving to another isnt general welfare,,

And the Supreme Court said you were wrong, shit-for-brains.

The End.

All this lightweight MAGA gooberism....and I ain't reading any of it.

 

[BluesLegend]

Why does the Freedom Caucus even exist? Nobody takes these weaklings seriously....they fold like a wet blanket the minute Trump criticizes them.

Perhaps YOU should read the bill vs letting others tell you what to think.

For example, the ONE...BIG...BEAUTIFUL...BILL...ACT pours ROCKET FUEL on manufacturing and investment in starting/expanding manufacturing. That's breaking ground and building factories. Equipping those factories with all manner of machinery. And hiring workers WHO PAY TAXES hello!

The OBBBA lets people KEEP THEIR OWN MONEY and spend it wisely vs the stupid as F government pissing it away on stupid shit like f'ing drag queen shows in other countries or letting it get stolen or scammed.

Adding over $4 trillion to the national debt, shit-for-brains.

The End.

And the Supreme Court said you were wrong, shit-for-brains.

No the SCOTUS never said that was right.

In fact it took racist demklan folks like Woodrow Wilson to amend the constitution to allow the demklan to take part of my income

Dictators to get resources or to us the resources from the peasants use many ways to tax people to keep the system going. With deficits they need some capital. Inflation is a way to do it without real tax increases. That is what the Progs did the first two-years of Joe. Are the Progs playing dumb? Trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars printed up and we have little idea where it all went.

Dana Milbank criticizes these frauds much better thank I do. --

Texas Republican Keith Self, a putative deficit hawk affiliated with the hard-right House Freedom Caucus, was categorical in his opposition to the Senate-passed “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which will add about $4 trillion to the federal debt.

“The Senate’s version of the BBB is morally and fiscally bankrupt,” he proclaimed on X at 6:50 p.m. on Wednesday.

Three hours later, he posted again, saying he had voted to block the House from taking up the Senate legislation. “House leadership wants to cram this broken bill down our throats by rushing it to the floor,” he wrote. “Ultimately, this is an issue of morality,” he added, saying the House had a “rare opportunity” to “begin restoring fiscal sanity” by rejecting the Senate bill.

Then Donald Trump began threatening him and the other holdouts. “What are the Republicans waiting for??? What are you trying to prove??? MAGA IS NOT HAPPY, AND IT’S COSTING YOU VOTES,” the president posted on Truth Social after midnight Thursday. In another post, he wrote, “FOR REPUBLICANS, THIS SHOULD BE AN EASY YES VOTE. RIDICULOUS!!!”

Self, swallowing his “morality” and his dignity, went onto the floor and changed his vote to “yes” to advance the Senate bill — without securing a single change to it. So did every single member of the Freedom Caucus.

That feeble wheeze you heard on Capitol Hill this week was the last breath of small-government conservatism.

No one should be surprised that the so-called deficit hawks folded in the nation’s hour of need. Their unwillingness to stand up for their principles has become a standing joke. Members of the House Freedom Caucus squawk with outrage whenever House GOP leaders or Senate Republicans come up with a fiscally reckless plan, they swear they will vote “no” — and then they quietly retreat to their cages, usually after receiving some offer of future fiscal restraint that never materializes.

This time, there were at least 28 holdouts, according to Punchbowl News’s Haley Talbot, who maintains the “Big Mad Index” of potential defectors during key votes. (Some were moderates, but most were Freedom Caucus types.) To account for the holdouts’ past behavior, Talbot added a new category to her index: “Fiscal Hawks KTF.” Known To Fold.

All the sudden this clown is worried about deficits after sucking the shriveled peanuts of the guy who ran up more debt in the past 4 years than anyone.

 

[22lcidw]

More MAGA goober lies...."promote the general welfare".

Add all of the taxes, fees, authorities, charges, etc. and we are over 50% easily and perhaps at 60%.

Wow, silly dembot thinks having a work requirement for Medicaid will make a poster die younger

You really are a lazy bum

Studies have actually shown working and having a purpose in life instead of being a dembeat on welfare will make you live a longer, healthier life

Sorry trump has is forcing your lazy ass off the couch
