A special “go fuck yourself” to Virginia Foxx and Mike Johnson.

As an Australian I am constantly amazed that no matter how racist, homophobic, greedy, stupid, selfish and blatantly self-serving America’s government representatives are, you continue to vote for them.
We arent so committed to the red vs blue ideology. If I vote for blue one term and they don’t perform I’ll vote red or green or independent next term.
Unfortunately, the way things are going, your vote might not make a difference for much longer.
Doesn’t the coal industry control your government? And remind me where Rupert Murdoch came from.
If I vote for blue one term and they don’t perform I’ll vote red or green or independent next term.
uh, I’m pretty sure that’s a factor to how America got to the way it is.
To be clear, Australia is not perfect by a long stretch, but our politicians are much more discrete in their desire for enrichment, we also have a lot more guard rails in place to prevent it, while they are in office.
While there is obviously big business trying to influence government decisions, that will always happen regardless of who we vote in. My point is, if the person you vote for isn’t clearly concerned with improving the lives of their constituents you should absolutely fuck them off and not continually vote for them for decades.
I’ve seen sky news clips from Australia, y’all are on your way soon enough to look like America, unfortunately
Look up “gerrymandering” and then come back.
Interesting, learnt something new. Thanks.
America is like the beta version of liberal democracy that launched far too soon with a constitution full of bugs and the developers decided to make it nearly impossible to patch.
Yyyyeah. Unfortunately we’re not actually a democratic nation- land and especially money count for more than actual people when it comes to voting. Gerrymandering just reinforces it, and ensures an undemocratic result.
the original version of USA was more explicit about land mattering, because you couldn’t vote without it.
That’s no excuse… everybody knows the Republicans kept on cheating with gerrymandering and still Americans voted them in over and over.
Why? Do you think those voters aren’t racist, homophobic, greedy, stupid, selfish, and blatantly self-serving?
Sad part is.? I can’t even make a dark job more depressing than that statement.
One of the parties is blatantly racist, homophobic, greedy, stupid, and selfish, and they celebrate it, they are proud of it. The other party is not. The other party has issues, but they are worlds apart. There is no excuse not to aggressively vote blue at every opportunity.
We’re flooded with disinformation. Even smart, left leaning people in my circle are spouting crazy lies as if it’s truth. It takes hours to dispell a single lie if they’re patient enough to listen, seconds to form it. It started maybe in 2016. 99% of our news and Internet search results are like Cold War propaganda. Don’t think it won’t happen to you either, I’m very sorry if it does.
And they are probably aware of that. The suffering is the point.
More suffering -> more crime and more unrest.
More crime and more unrest -> more they can justify future power grabs, increased surveillance, and use of military power on domestic soil.
That’s what happens when you put people in leadership positions who earnestly believe that empathy is a ‘fundamental weakness’. Ya know, ignoring that empathy is precisely what’s made us successful as a species in the first place.
Can anyone specifically point out which pieces on the bill will remove healthcare from Medicaid. I was reading through and haven’t found those parts yet. I was focusing on the rescinding for green energy tax credits.
If you want to read it yourself, there’s an entire section. Table of contents ….

Work requirements. Other states have done this before. They all canned it because they found out, work requirements don’t increase work. It decrease the use of those that qualify. It increases paperwork which can be rejected by errors.
You also have the SSDI part. Most people that are disabled don’t qualify for SSDI.
I personally know someone that had double kidney failure. This is from a direct issue the U.S. government caused acknowledged. However, they don’t what to make it easy and hope the people just die. Which is a very strong possibility. They DO NOT qualify for SSDI.
Next time they get sick, they will die. Point Blank.
The killer collective.
they’re pointing to the direction your money is going to go with this bill.
Congrats on making more than $1.1 mil a year.
lol what does this have to do with me
I think he thought you meant they were pointing up, instead of towards themselves. And from his reply I assume the bill provides benefits for incomes over 1.1 million dollars
i did mean they’re pointing up, it’s gonna funnel lots of money from the bottom to the top. i don’t see how this means I’m benefitting from it though.
It will be funny if someone paint all the thumbs brown and then we make sure it’s the brown thumbs version that goes around the web and not the original version.
get names and start to hold them to account; find ways to get them voted out
And held accountable. We keep voting them out and no one is charged for their crimes.
that’d be splendid - too much appointed judges and judge shopping as well
Virginia spontaneously collapsed into a pile of dust after this photo was taken
is she the old ass lady in pink? the same necromancer that turned mcconnel into a lich, also is keeping her alive.
You guys vote for this people
Fucking excuse me? I what?
Miss me with that " you guys."
Some did, but they won by cheating, and we ALL know it.
We’re one dusty fart from hell, this is why
Can anyone see the token person of color or did they not even bother this time?
Hey now, there’s 6 token women who pretend to be buffoons. That’s good progress for the Nazi party.
nope, no aa guy in the back this time, they arnt hiding it anymore. thier current token is a racist old granny in the front.
At least MAGAts will die disproportionately.
Migrants will die disproportionately. MAGAS will be happy when they die painfully because immigrants will have it worse
didn’t the migrant population vote for trump too though
some did.
what are you implying? that all immigrants deserve it because some immigrants voted for trump?
some Jews voted for Hitler, does that mean the holocaust was deserved?
not at all? the comment thread started with saying magats will get the brunt of it. then someone said no, migrants would. so i said the migrants voted for Trump anyways. nowhere is there any implication anyone deserves it, unless that’s just what you’re looking to see
Now everyone put your thumb up if you are a facist.
There is nothing mild about this.
It’s a bunch of murderous ghouls celebrating the death of poor people.
The big beautiful bill…I can’t even comprehend how maggots can believe this stuff. Congrats, your healthcare is now even worse than before, happy 4th oh July.
