Insofar as a voter has any input, it's either red team or blue team.
Not really. Party caucuses have significant influence in the parties. Look at how the Progressive Caucus has taken over the Democrat Party in the last 30 years. They went from not existing in 1990, to having 77 seats in the House in 2010, to having 100 House seats in 2022. Look at how the Freedom Caucus holds up the GOP. It's easier to think of it in terms of Red vs. Blue, that is 100% true, but the details are far more complicated than that.
Hope this encourages more sobriety too!
That's a major problem, too. Lots of people soak up bennies because they're high and/or drunk all the time. How many cows have threads on the site who are addicts and collect government checks for nothing? It's not hard: get a job. Do community service. Do something other than sit around all day.
I dunno but it seems the people most upset (at least in my social circle) are all spoiled white people who have had their parents gib them houses and shit while the people who are excited about the bill are all hard workers who have been forced to be on government gibs before.

I'm too lazy to think all that too deeply into it, but it's funny.
Everyone I know bitching about it are either leftist glitterati, trolls, or lazy. All the people who actually work are fine with it.
 
Nigga, your god is on the Epstein flight logs like Musk said.
>believing a word that Musk says while he's on ketamine, cocaine, whip its, and weed laced with the most obscure, diabolical drugs known to man, all at the same time

Sure thing. Just don't think about the fact that they could've released that supposed fact while Biden was in office. Trump is the most hated man on the planet by the deep state. If that kind of dirt existed it would be released in an instant.
 
Are you... not familiar with the times historically that central banking, fractional reserve systems, or debt... have nearly ruined countries? I'm not a fiscal conservative but you may want to look into those examples a bit. Sooner or later there is a chance it'll melt down. It nearly did in 2008 and again in 2019.
Nobody truly knows how it works. And by the time you think you have a handle on global finance, it changes. Again.

Imagine a giant crystal shattered into a hundred pieces. Someone finds a shard and says “I have the whole picture!” when really, nobody does.

I’m content to know it can never fully be known.
 
Yes, we know, from a flight between Florida and New York. He's not on the Lolita Express, this isn't news, it's been known about for almost a decade.

I'm sorry you need to defend pedophiles.

>believing a word that Musk says while he's on ketamine, cocaine, whip its, and weed laced with the most obscure, diabolical drugs known to man, all at the same time

Yeah, it would be nice if Trump ordered the release of the Epstein files. Not sure why he isn't doing that. Hmm.
 
It's amazing that right wingers like you correctly see the deteriorating conditions in America and still simp for the pedophilic elite that did globalization.
Trump isn't a pedophile or pro-globalization. Do you really believe the Trump haters are hiding that he's a pedophile after all this time? If so, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

The globohomo communists are the ones pushing infinite spending, tranny kids, pod buglife, and Maoist struggle sessions in every facet of life. The only exception would be the Curtis Yarvin libertarians who got mugged by reality and instead fell for the "we can make society better" trap that leftists sell. Trump is many things, but he believes that the US is still great and that makes him leagues better than the present alternatives. Everyone else just dooms and that is not productive.
 
Johnson isn't even stopping him. Hakeem gave him a perfect excuse to take another graceful defeat and kill Trump's agenda.
Your eternal optimism is a beacon of hilarious hope/cope in these dark and oppressive times.
 
This bill was the moment where House and Senate Republicans had to decide if they served their constituents, or if they served Donald Trump. The answer, of course, is that they're unprincipled spineless cowardly faggots who serve Donald Trump. It doesn't matter, the bulk of their constituents are so fucking stupid that they'll vote for the same people fucking them over when the next election rolls around as long as Trump tells them to.

They know how unpopular this bill is, that's why the medicaid cuts kick in on December 31st 2026, it's a last desperate bit of trickery to try and save as many Republican seats as possible in next year's midterms, and then use the economic fallout of this bill over the next decade to blame inevitably shitty economy on the Democrat that's going to replace Trump in the next election cycle.

This cycle has been going on since the fucking 90s.
>Republicans inflate the debt ceiling to benefit their rich buddies and fuck over the poor,
>Americans realize they've put their hands on a burning hot stove and elect a Democrat to clean up their mess,
>Democrats clean up a decent amount of mess without making too much noise,
>the media gets bored and the voters tune out,
>the left starts to pick itself apart over momentary pet causes,
>Americans decide to put their hand on the hot stove again,
>fuck themselves over for a generation,

repeat
It's really weird how the nonspecific "they know how unpopular this bill is" comment could be said about nearly every omnibus or funding bill that has ever existed ever. It passes with plenty of fat and doomers on the side with more fat will complain and doomers on the side with less fat will say its so fucking over. I'm so fucking tired of this shit where every new bill is the next thing that will cause the downfall of the next generation, like this hasn't been happening every few months for my entire fucking life. Get new material.

As for "democrats clean up a decent amount", lol lmao ok.

I really hate Team Sports politics.
You really don't. You hate that your "team" is full of retards and would rather the other team stop existing so you can form new teams from the retards in your team and the non retards in your team, but will gladly side with that team regardless because you would rather have retarded shit run your team than join another team.
 
>ICE will have a larger budget than the Marines! This is a travesty!
This is incorrect by the way. Liberals were comparing the proposed multi year budget of ICE to the yearly USMC allocation. The actual truth is ICE will have 50% of the budget the Marines have year-over-year.
 
I think they film in cars because it's supposed to make it seem off the cuff. Just some shower thoughts, not a produced and rehearsed thing. You just know this faggot had multiple takes and this was the best one. Remember fellow Farmers, if it's on the Internet it's Fake and Gay until proven otherwise.
I think it's because they all live with roommates and their car is literally their only private space.
 
@As Planned @Neil

Would either of you like to take this opportunity to explain to me how importing undocumented foreign scabs to drive down the price of labor and weaken labor's bargaining power benefits the working class in a way that DOESN'T involve supply-side trickle-down Reaganism?

If you can I'll flip on this issue immediately. I have yet to be taken up on this offer funnily enough..
