Funding for 9/11 first responders was also stripped out of the bill. NYC firefighters are not happy. My response? "Too damn bad. You voted for these assholes, now live with it".

It's not like he didn't tell everybody what he was going to do, & everybody had an opportunity to read Project 2025, so for those who paid no attention & voted for him anyway, I totally agree: if you voted for them, there are consequences. Problem is, it affects ALL of us, so.....thanks a lot!

We're going to hear a lot of weeping and wailing when those egg prices go through the roof and everything the nitwits thought was going to hurt the Others instead bites them in the ass. Schadenfreude, you ignorant bigoted morons.

Egg price will be a non story if the bird flue keeps on jumping species (now it is to the dairy animals) and mutating to a more threatening form to cause another pandemic. What a lucky nation we will be with the worm brain in charge of our health system.

The only joy I will experience over the next four years is watching MAGATS waking up to the suffering they caused for Americans because of THEIR votes.

It's so awful that it's come to this. I'm so full of rage I can barely breathe. I never thought that I could hate anyone as much as I hated Nixon, Reagan and the Bushes, but I guess my imagination was a bit limited. I'm 74, about to turn 75, and I loathe living in this hellhole of a country. Starting to have just a dim understanding of how it was when Hitler seized power. Intellectually understanding it doesn't come close to the gut punch I'm experiencing now.

I have one wish. I am 63 and my husband is 81. I would like both of us to be able to read a couple of obituaries: Elmo (hopefully OD'd) and the Orange Lump.

Rage has become a greater epidemic than COVID for the population of sane Americans as we enter into the second and most devastating era of tRumpтАЩs voodoo politics.

I no longer remember what it was like not to be in a constant state of rage. It's a terrible poison that's eating away at everything. I find myself re-reading histories of Nazi Germany and studies of Resistance movements during WWII to try to learn how people dealt with repression and terror. I'm afraid because I'm old and poor and have nowhere to hide or to run to.

Fury and disgust at Trump and the stupidity of so many Americans has triggered my alopecia and, gee, thanks Trumpy...I'll be going into 2025 almost as bald as he is.

That alopecia is something to be proud of in America as it is today:

They will weep and do go fund me pages knowing that the non-MAGA folks are the only ones who have compassion and will bail them out. Then they will resume their MAGA insanity once again.

Unfortunately we're going to suffer along with them. They should all move to Russia and see how they like a truly fascist society, and leave us in peace.

I'm not surprised. Trump has been saying all along what he'll do. I hope no 9/11 First Responders voted for him. I've said it many times and I'll say it again: Trump is only out for Trump.

Exactly- retired FF as well, and the # of former coworkers who think the ЁЯНК mussolini is great is apalling. They asked for it, now reap the "rewards" of supporting your hero.
