Those Bitches: GOP

It seems that House Republicans are passing around a “menu” of more than $5 trillion in cuts they could use to bankroll The Felon’s top priorities this year—not the price of eggs and not the price of gas—like tax cuts for Elon and Bezos and Zuckerberg and deporting 11 million immigrants.

So, what is the GOP going to cut to pay to keep the rich getting rich and the brown people over the border?

They want to make changes to Medicare and end the Biden administration climate programs, along with slashing welfare and “reimagining” the Affordable Care Act.

Yup; they are coming for your healthcare and welfare and climate change policies that make help as hurricanes get stronger, tornadoes become more common and droughts and winds spawn massive wildfires.

But it’s okay, right, if Elon can build another rocket to explode and Bezos can buy another yacht and Zuckerberg can have more money that most countries could spend in hundreds of years.

To be fair, with the extremely narrow margins the GOP has in the House and Senate these cuts to the ACA and any anti-hunger program would spark opposition from Democrats and also face some GOP resistance. House Speaker Mike Johnson can’t afford any Republican defections if he wants to pass a package on party lines.

Even proposed cuts to green energy tax credits, worth as much as $500 billion, could be tricky  as 18 House Republicans—14 of whom won reelection in November—warned Johnson against prematurely repealing some of the Inflation Reduction Act’s energy tax credits, which are funding multiple manufacturing projects in GOP districts.

So, it’s not a done deal, but keep in mind, These Bitches, AKA the GOP, will come for programs that benefits many Americans in order to satisfy a few billionaires and corporations.

  1. And so it starts!!!! And the dump has said those that do not follow his instruction to support his vote, bills and agenda will find themselves primaried in the next elections.

    Can you say dictatorship? I also read that Vance broke with the dump on something over the weekend. I see those two butting heads....if it hasn't already started.

      Vance is Trump’s puppet, just as Trump is Musk’s puppet. A lot of entangled strings attached with that motley group, a true professional puppeteer could never untangle that mess of puppets. :)

  3. They are stupid. Just wait until an army of senior citizens shows up armed with AR-15s and see how fast these Senators and Congressmen change their tunes.

  4. You can be sure that President Musk will NOT allow the solar tax credits to go away. He makes too much money with his solar company.

      Funny how the private sector is so dependent on tax breaks and government contracts. You would think they would pull up their bootstraps like they tell struggling working people and the poor. :\

  6. Being a citizen should mean looking out for ALL of your fellow citizens and not just the billionaires who happened to get lucky. We are all in this together.

    Be vigilant folks! There are Dem bitches popping up! The biggest (literally) right now is Sen. Fetterman...this weekend, he bent his knee (hard for such a big Lurch look-alike) at Mar-a-Lago!! His explanation was "come on, when the President invites you to a meeting, you go." JFC!! He ain't the President yet, you giant dick!! And, if you're going to be the loyal opposition, you either say "NO!" or offer to bring a group of other Dem lawmakers with you for a confab on where you stand!! Little by little, this will keep happening...be vigilant!! 🤬🤬🤬

      Like Manchin of Virginia or the Dixiecrats of the 1960’s. The Dixiecrats that became Republicans because of their racism and fear of change of any kind. Strange how they flocked to the party of Lincoln, a man they despise. Then again by that time it was no longer the party of Lincoln, as Republicans were busy shedding his legacy of equality and tolerance, to become the intolerant political mess of today.
      They think they are a monolith, they forget that monoliths fall.

    As expected, they would just luv to get hold of Social Security, you know privatize it so Wall Street jackals can use it as a bankroll. And when they fuck it up they’ll for cry taxpayers to bail them out of their shit. A prime example is Chile, they privatized their social security system (on the advise of American conservative economists)and it collapsed, the government had to bail them out and put controls in place after public outrage.
    It should be noted their private system had wage requirements and did not pool risks across the population. As a result some received a full pension and others received nothing, despite their contributions ! Also the administrators were allowed to charge as much as 30% of what the recipients put in for their “fees”.
