Do you want to know why they call it Drumpf's "Big, Beautiful bill," folks? It's because there is absolutely nothing beautiful about it.
You have to remember that these MAGA Republicans are masters at slinging fear-infused bullshit propaganda and lowbrow sloganeering. The words that come out of their mouths rarely if ever match their actual deeds and actions.
Just like when the say they want to, Make America Great Again." They don't really mean it. These people could not give less of a flying shit about America's image and reputation in the world. If they did, they wouldn't be sucking up to a guy who has alienated America's traditional allies and is openly and embarrassingly fellating Valdimir Putin and the Arab oil sheiks.
And the same goes for when they call themselves the "Freedom Caucus," lol, so fucking fake. Freedom is a double-edge sword word to MAGA Republicans. They love to toss that word around and claim that they are all for "freedom," as long as that freedom only applies to those who look like them, think like them, vote like them, and worship a convicted felon and rapist like them. Otherwise, freedom is just a throwaway word in their actual world and lives.
Link: Trump's big GOP tax bill helps billionaires, not us | Opinion
"America’s status as an aristocratic oligarchy arrived in the form of a dumbly-named piece of legislation – the “Big, Beautiful Bill” – that was passed in the early morning hours by House Republicans who wouldn’t spit on poor people if they were on fire.
President Donald Trump, architect of the bill’s embarrassingly stupid name, and his billionaire donors and cabinet members, along with the whole of the GOP, fully showed their tuchuses with this massive domestic-policy bill. It helps the rich. It balloons the deficit Republicans claim to care so deeply about, to the tune of $3.3 trillion over the next decade. And it hurts the poor, cutting billions from Medicaid, Medicare and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that many rely on as a lifeline.
It’s the clearest expression yet from this administration that it cares only about adding comfort to the comfortable while further afflicting the afflicted, pulling the curtain back on the faux-populism of Trump’s MAGA con."
This bill is going to drastically complicate and make more miserable the lives of millions of Americans if it is signed into law in its present, execrable form. That is not an exaggeration.
Let's start with the least human harming aspect. This bill literally explodes the nation's debt, adding trillions to it, which gives the lie to Republican's fake concern-trolling about the country's debt.
This bill literally takes away food from poor communities and poor kids.
This bill will increase health care costs and will throw tens of millions off of their current ACA healthcare plans, with ABSOLUTELY NO safety net planned for them. They are essentially on their own.
This bill takes money away from the VA.
This bill takes money away from Medicaid, and thanks to last minute, middle of the night ratfucking by Republicans it now looks like it would also blow a $500 billion dollar hole through Medicare as well, the program that the vast majority of elderly Americans rely on for their healthcare.
This bill will make it harder for Americans to collect social security and forces us to work more years of our lives to get it.
You know, I often hear these conservative Republicans, because of their abortion stance, refer to themselves as "pro-life" and it just flabbergasts me to no end how phony it is. Apparently that is the only fucking area where they truly give a shit about human life, is when it's a microscopic zygote in a woman's womb.
It sure as shit doesn't seem to bother these "pro-life" folks that more living, breathing kids will go hungry because of this bill. It doesn't seem to bother them that more Americans will die prematurely because of lack of access to affordable medical care. There doesn't appear to be much concern on their part about the elderly being treated like garbage after working their entire lives and expecting a little bit of dignity in retirement and being shit upon with attempts to take away social security, their financial lifeline, and make them work more years for it. The pro-lifers certainly don't seem to mind that Elmo and the Saudi's orange piss bucket boy are trying to destroy the social security administration and of course Social Security, the most successful earned benefit program in US history, along with it, which has been a longtime right-wing conservative wet dream btw.
And it goes without saying that they don't seem to mind that their orange god has sold his rotten, decrepit, charcoal soul to a coven of Mid-East oil sheiks, including the ones where fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers and mass murderers of Americans came from, in exchange for giving them more influence over the governing affairs of America and it's people.
If they get their way with this anti-human, anti-American bill, the United States of America will indeed very likely become Drumpf's kleptogarchy. And like George Carlin once wisely noted about kleptogarchies, it's a very special club, and it's a special club that you and I, and yes, even you dumbasses in MAGAville are not invited to.
Wise up before it's too late folks.
