Donald Trump argued that a GOP budget bill should help only Republican states instead of benefiting Democratic governors.
“We’re going to make a couple of tweaks,” Trump said of his “one big beautiful bill” during a Tuesday trip to Capitol Hill. “I mean, we don’t want to benefit Democrat governors, although I would do that if it made it better, but they don’t know what they’re doing.”
“We want to help all the states, but we have governors that are from the Democrat [sic] party, let’s say New York, Illinois, big ones, and let’s say Gavin ‘Newscum,’ who’s done a horrible job in California.”
Blue states cut off those wankers
They’ve been stupid and malicious for too damn long. Let them eat their own shit
… and cue the facial Equal Protection problems.

Time for articles of impeachment. Or secession.
Civil War 2: Revolution Boogaloo
Secession is what Russia is blackmailing him for. Secede MAGA instead.
Elect an alternate president. Reject Donald.
He’s a literal traitor.
Americans are just too stupid to see it in anything but hindsight.
Assuming the fascists don’t win and rewrite history, he will be considered a traitor in the history books.
I have been cursed with the foresight of this, sadly.
He is objectively the most prolific traitor in American history, and it isn’t even close. He’s literally worse than ALL other American traitors COMBINED. It’s not even a debate.
You want Boston to throw another tea party? They’re game.
No taxation without representation motherfucker.
He’s going by the books. Everyone should know his next move. Everyone keeps thinking someone else is going to do something about it.
That means I don’t have to pay federal taxes for it right?
What a fucking cunt.
I don’t think he realizes this isn’t the gotcha he thinks. That means the poverty line between the states that already exists is going to get even worse, because they are taxing the lower income brackets even worse.
That must be comforting to hear to republican citizens living in those blue states.
I live in an extremely blue city in an extremely red state so I’ll be sitting in the fabled catbird seat.
All those red districts in blue states, get ready to get screwed. Trump ain’t helping you.
Unless you’re in the top 1% of wealth, he isn’t helping you either.
Yesterday I drove into my home town, where I grew up. It’s been hard to go there since MAGA erupted. In a usually-blue state, my home town (and the surrounding area) goes deep red. I wish I could say it was inexplicable, but I grew up around these people - their current authoritarian boot-licking matches up with everything I always knew about them.
How wonderful this news could’ve been to hear on the TV 12 hours ago, when I was back in that town, sitting in a waiting room. There was only one other person in the room, a middle-aged white guy who kept loudly saying things in response to the news on the TV. I’m pretty sure he was just trying to chat with someone, but I know how easy it is to accidentally set some people off, and I’m not about to make small talk about the news with a stranger in that town.
So I ignored him. He kept making unsolicited commentary. I kept reading my phone. Thankfully, someone eventually entered the room with a dog, and that gave the man a chance to start a conversation about the good boi, which the dog’s owner happily obliged. But now I wonder what he would have said if this story had been on the news at that time. It might have actually been entertaining.
Every time he says words I wish I’d never been born.
Wrong perspective. Every time he says words, I wish HE were never born.
It’s true, though, I can’t watch any extended interview with him, my blood pressure can’t take it, and there simply isn’t enough liquor in the house to make it through a hour long interview.
True. But Trump is also an artifact of the times, not specific to the individual Trump. If it weren’t Trump, there’d likely be another Trump. Or maybe not. In any case, he’s a symptom.
President of the unusually selfish.
Time for blue states to stop paying federal tax, then.
Let’s fucking Balkanize already. My blue state has all the nukes and I would love to use them on Trump and his red-state dick sucks.
There isn’t one state that has all the nukes.
Terrible idea. That would kill millions and also kill a ton of people that hate Trump. Plus, cut off that area of land for 100s of years. If using nukes weren’t a big deal, they would be used in common skirmishes.
I agree with but every state has blue voters too
The red states don’t have enough blue voters but they do have plenty
And the opposite is also true.
I hate that we’re literally funding them to drag us all back to the dark ages since the blue states receive less than they pay in taxes and vice versa with the red.
So instead of one shitty country there are several shitty countries?
