Trump 47

Yep
Reality check: We've heard this before, only for House Republicans to turn around and vote for the bill under pressure from Trump.
- "There are concerns with the changes that they have made [in the Senate] ... I don't think we're just going to roll-over," Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas), a staunch Trump ally, told Axios.
- But, asked if calls from Trump may change minds, he said: "If Trump calls me and says you've got to pass the big, beautiful bill, we've got to do it."
Trump falsely questions Zohran Mamdani's citizenship, threatens to arrest him over ICE operations
As he departed the White House earlier Tuesday, Trump continued to attack Mamdani, calling him a "total nut job" and "bad news."
Guess this is how we treat political opponents now.
Im sure people will say its just the way Trump talks or find ways to justify this.

Q: You spent a lot of time with Noem today. Did you discuss this report about an $80k dark money payment she received in 2023 and appears to have kept off her federal disclosure?
TRUMP: No. You're telling me this for the first time. I think she's done an amazing job. Who are you with?
Q: The Washington Examiner
TRUMP: Good paper, actually

This is so weird and could have been easily avoided if the Democrats ran primaries in 2016 and 2024. They can't seem to get out of their own way. They have lost focus and their removal of David Hogg recently underscores their problems.
Trump outscores the average GOP politician, but he is easily beatable with a decent politician that can speak without getting donor approval for EVERY piece of messaging.

If you are even remotely ok with this new concentration camp, I hope somebody you know and love gets sent there.
How on earth can we forget that these are actual human beings? It's almost hurricane season, it's hot as ever living get out in Florida. People are going to die there. But Fox won't show you, so you won't care.

Ironically enough I'd argue the biggest travesty was 2020.
2016-yeah we know but it was an established very experienced candidate against someone who wasn't even officially in the party. Can you blame party insiders for supporting a fellow party insider.
2024-should have been made clear that Biden would be a one term president but IMO any vote for him was a vote for Harris as no one really expected him to make it through a 2nd term. Once he bowed out, there wasn't time to do a full primary (although the convention would have been a blast).
2020-every candidate not named Biden who had a chance to challenge Biden dropped out before Super Tuesday. There wasn't even the illusion of choice that cycle.

Tell me you’re a little bitch without telling me you’re a little bitch…
Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., acknowledged he doesn’t love everything about the bill but said he thinks overall it’s a good product.
“Am I happy about everything? No, but there’s a difference between compromise and capitulation. We’re not capitulating. We’re compromising,” he told reporters.
Van Orden then pushed back against a reporter’s suggestion that Republicans will just do whatever Trump asks of them.
“The president of the United States didn’t give us an assignment. We’re not a bunch of little b----es around here, OK? I’m a member of Congress. I represent almost 800,000 Wisconsinites,” he said.

MSNBC: Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) reportedly dropped a surprise NO vote on moving Trump’s bill forward and then “BOLTED out of the chamber”.
Speaker Mike Johnson and the GOP leadership were “desperately trying to locate him on the floor to flip his vote to YES.”
They apparently can’t find him and he won’t answer their texts or calls.

One of the more normal Republicans in congress had a moment of clarity and had to go hide so the powers that be couldn't beat it out of him.
Honestly good for him. Its unfortunate that hes not allowed to speak his mind on it though

Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ passes Senate: What’s in it, who voted how?
The measure was approved after almost 48 hours of reading, debate and voting on various amendments.
Who benefits most?
According to Yale University’s Budget Lab, wealthier taxpayers are likely to gain more from this bill than lower-income Americans.They estimate that people in the lowest income bracket will see their incomes drop by 2.5 percent, mainly because of cuts to SNAP and Medicaid, while the highest earners will see their incomes rise by 2.2 percent.

Fact-checking three key claims about Trump's mega-bill
Trump insists that the new bill will save the US billions, but it has been criticised by his old ally Elon Musk.
www.bbc.com
"Most analysis finds that the bill will produce a small, temporary, short-lived boost – but that over time the bill will actually be a drag on the economy," says Bobby Kogan, a federal budget expert at the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning policy institute.
The CBO estimates that nearly 12 million Americans would lose health insurance by 2034 under the terms of the Senate bill - with just 1.4 million of these being people "without verified citizenship, nationality, or satisfactory immigration status".
Overall, the tax changes in the bill would benefit wealthier Americans more than those on lower incomes, according to the Tax Policy Center analysis. About 60% of the benefits would go to those making above $217,000 (£158,000), it found.
WTF?
