We would be going through NONE of this waste of time and tax payer $$ if the already wealthy would simply be grateful for what they already have.... and then pay their fair share of taxes, period. They wouldn't miss it, and the programs so many need would be intact.
OF COURSE. There are no "rational" people on the committee. That doesn't mean we can't take advantage of the dissention. We only need a few righteous Congressional Republicans. Hold Don Bacon and the others to their oaths of office, to their duties to their constituents.
There are other groups of Republican dissidents, i.e. those who call out Trump on Ukraine. 26 Republican senatorts, dozens of House members voted to =fund Ukraine.
In the senate, 7 Republicans cosponsored a bill to eliminate Trump tariff authority.
Lucy. Football. We've seen this movie a hundred times since the republicans took over the house majority. A little chest-thumping 'independence' and 'principled stands' before each and every one of them cave to Trump's social media attacks and fall in line behind Johnson. Get a grip, Charlie Brown.
This has NOT been a good week for the president, no matter the issue. musk seems to be fading away from the main fray. johnson is a simple puppet and failing. NOW might be a good time for the aforementioned gop (and MORE) to grow some spines and act TOGETHER to push totally back on this ridiculous, monumentally damaging bill. If they succeeded, they might surprise themselves and even go on to push back on other things as well. But are they smart enough to see the possibilities???
If they were smart they would but Trump and his billionaire friends are what keeps some of them back…They need a wake up call and tell themselves they can do it it’s themselves that have the power over Trump and his phonies…Hoping for a realization to actually happen🤞🏻
That’s encouraging. Hopefully, as more come out against MAGAs policies and bills , others will start thinking about where their loyalty lies. And we might end up with a true bipartisan Congress. Hah!
Won't work. Their constituents, with Walmart's announcement of why prices are rising, are beginning to wake up. If they stupidly think that by burning the midnight oil, they can push this through? And the Democrats won't be there to raise hell? They are as cognizantly impaired as that felon squatting in the White House.
And you don't think that the orange clown won't be pressuring them? I don't think there are many MAGA who will stand up against Trump. I hope the Democrats show up to raise some hell. And I wish I could be there to help protest.
Pressure them with what? The fear of being primaried? They are going to be primaried no matter what. And if they are not? They'll still have a fight and a half to even make a decent showing. As people come face to face with the party of greed and privilege - especially in the rural areas, Nothing the adjudicated rapist can say or do will help. In fact, it will hinder.......let's start with the flying bordello and take it from there.
"Cognizantly" means in a way that demonstrates awareness or knowledge of something. It suggests a conscious understanding or recognition of a situation, fact, or feeling. Someone acting cognizantly is showing they are aware and informed about something.
I heard the same thing. I wonder why don't they cut some of their staff, office and travel expenses, instead of cutting everything from the American people.
I'm certainly NOT saying that they aren't wolves in sheep's clothing, but many if not most of the Republican congresscritters are facing unhappy and even angry constituents in their California districts in the upcoming midterms. This vote definitely reflects that fear. Most agriculture workers, whether farmers or fieldhands rely on MediCal (Medicaid) for any health insurance. The farmers rely on the Gov. (USDA) to push programs like SNAP (food stamps) to purchase (and also subsidise) great amounts of the food they grow - these help low income families all over Calif..
Yes. The bottom line will be how they vote in the very end --- which reminds me: susan collins is being challenged for her senate seat in 2026 by a very impressive young (early 30'sish?) man, Jordan Hood, who just announced. Pls check him out; to me he's the type of fresh air & good sense we need in DC . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV312GDpC4w
I thought those five conservatives voted against the bill because it didn’t cut enough out. I still think they are wolves in sheep‘s clothing.
That’s absolutely right they wanted more cuts.
We would be going through NONE of this waste of time and tax payer $$ if the already wealthy would simply be grateful for what they already have.... and then pay their fair share of taxes, period. They wouldn't miss it, and the programs so many need would be intact.
Power is a bigger magnet than humility! We could hand them a Bible, right-side up!!:)

Peppermint Patty approves this message.

Right! And the new administration gets stuck with much like Joe Biden got stuck with Orangeman's first term!!
It only takes a few of them as all Dems will vote no!
That’s encouraging. Hopefully, as more come out against MAGAs policies and bills , others will start thinking about where their loyalty lies. And we might end up with a true bipartisan Congress. Hah!
You are correct. They wanted deeper cuts. They are all apparently meeting tonight at 10 p.m. so Mikey boy can whip them into submission.

Right on Caril-Ann! Their for sale sales signs will go up months before the mid-terms!!
I hope you are correct because right now I don't know of many Republicans who will stand against Trump.
The pain hasn't begun. As of last night? It has. As we move one step closer to people being aware of how they've been suckered
And I really have no hope that this bill will be stopped.
"They are as cognizantly impaired as that felon squatting in the White House".
Great comment.
Cognitively

I stand by what I wrote. Congnizantly.
The party with no clothes!!
Yes, it didn’t cut enough and comes too late. The horrific parts don’t kick in til 2029, chip roy wants them now, ie deeper cuts sooner
I heard the same thing. I wonder why don't they cut some of their staff, office and travel expenses, instead of cutting everything from the American people.
Its all about greed people
That's correct.
