Trump just engages in Big, Beautiful Bullshit

Carole Geronimo's avatar

That was meant as sarcasm. Everything Trump touches is destroyed, devalued, demoralized, ...Asylum for Afrikaners - who knew that was a thing - Not! But he eviscerates programs for the poor, elderly, pulls people off the streets & transports them to prisons in BS countries (I wonder if he is getting a kickback?). The worst type of predator.

The only way to stop this corrupt regime is to protest in huge numbers. June 14 is Trump’s birthday and his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. Join our nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than Trump’s authoritarian aspirations: https://www.nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

Thank you for doing this! Also, the Blimp deserves his birthday to be ruined. Sure hope it is.

My dream is that the entire military parade participants refuse to March. Thid guy is blowing through our tax money waaaaay too fast. It infuriates me when I think of all the people he has chosen to starve and die- just so he can feel powerful and important.

Those 7000 troops need to arrest Trump on his birthday and escort him to prison ~ preferably in El Salvador 🇸🇻 at CECOT💥‼️

Stupid question here: if all these Congresspeople see these scams for what they are, just vote NO!

And tell the truth???? The Trump Bible removed all listings of that word.

This is what we need -- short incisive information on what's going on.

I agree. I appreciate in-depth reporting in some things, like ALL the crap hidden in this big bullshit bill, but it's important to know exactly what is being done when it happens, not endless analysis after the fact.

He and his administration don't care. They delivered us to Russia which was all that mattered. Until Congress decides to do its job, we continue down the rabbit hole of autocracy.

How about we just tax the billionaires?!! How about rising the cap on Social Security?!! Anyone still supporting tRump and company are toadies and bootlickers.

Keep up the good work, Ben! Truth to power like shining a light on the cockroaches they are.

Isn't the looting the of Treasury by politicians and bureaucrats the last conventional act of a dying empire? Daddy government isn't coming to the rescue this time ladies and gentlemen. He's too busy raiding the cookie jar with a smirk on his face while we all watch with our mouths agape.

The solution:

The solution is to get local, get self-dependent, get the common unity back in community by building webs of resilience with your neighbors, get control of your school boards, mayors office, and town councils, get to know your sheriff, get a garden in your lawn no matter how small, a single tomato plant is better than nothing, get a well (water is your most important resource hands down), get ready, get moving, get doing, and, if so inclined, get God.

Some of us have a constitutional sheriff & much of that may be out of our reach ATM, but I'm totally going to try to get a tomato plant!

Thank you Kathy. Every avalanche starts with a single snowflake.

Start where you are

Use what you have

Do what you can

If enough of us do this, we will sail this nation-ship of ours out of the storms and back into the safe harbor where she belongs..

This clip needs to be replayed and highlighted on all news media! HAH, they won't and you do.... every House/Senate Representative need to get this out there, NOW! How do we do this?

Dennis W.'s avatar

This tax bill is nuts, right? Do you think enough Republicans will cross over to block it? I doubt it, but I hope I'm wrong.

Judy Player's avatar

Me too. Live with hope. Die in despair?

Thanks Ben for having Rep. Suozzi on to explain the fine print of DT’s “big, beautiful bill”. I’m appalled that the republicans are attempting to rush this bill through with a deadline of the end of May. DT wants this bill passed before Congress goes on their next hiatus. Why you ask, because the quicker it’s passed, the less the public will notice what’s in it & going to hit them.

It’s time for We the People to Call, & Email Congress to NOT SUPPORT this bill NOW!

Congress is planning on voting on this bill next week, so We need to flood the congressional switchboard with calls and email members to “Stop the Steal” and protect the lower & middle classes, instead of giving outrageously high tax cuts to the rich & corporations!

I recently read and want to share and something so true that GOP stands for "Grifters Over Principles".

The info on taxes on overtime and tips really needs to get out to the public. This is a non=starter for many working people who believed 47

Kathy H's avatar

You'd think! The fact, alone, that he lied!

“Watch the interview, share it, and stay informed. We don’t need more billionaire bailouts. We need truth, accountability, and leadership that actually works for the people.”

Thanks again Might Meidas! This bill is the worst in American History! Debt! Debt! Debt! Cruel to so many Americans! Uncaring about the next generation! Corrupt oligarch building! Republican complicity! International criminal payoffs. Complete disregard for the Constitution, and American legal system.
