Trump's Big Beautiful Bill looks like a political death sentence for Republicans as opposition to the legislation is widespread among the American people.
It doesn’t matter what happens to the bill. These Republicans have to be voted out of office forever after kissing the ass of the most destructive demented abomination of a president. Only way they can be saved is if they take their responsibility, seriously and impeach the son of a bitch and his entire regime.
Agree. But a large portion of them still need to be voted out. They have shown the people they cannot lead, they cannot govern and they don’t give 2 shots about the people.
Yup! We can take out the trash in the midterms and do all we can to stall any work on that bill. I don't want these losers getting their greedy fingers into my SSI or anyone else's benefits!
So true! This whole vile process of things since the election has also shown many Democrats to be snakes in the grass also. They should ALL be primaried!
There's an old saying that fits here and for good reason. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." This BBB has got to fail, because otherwise, it's too long to read and fully comprehend what the hell is in it.
(what's been offered as an excuse by various House members... like they don't have staff? - yes, reading is HARRRRRD.... )
My fear is that they'll vote for it anyway to appease Dear Leader
The saying fits here, Marsha - but I do think they're happy with the eggs overall and feel that their positions and privilege will protect them - so "why not vote for the bill?"
Remember how tenacious old Mitch McConnel was in keeping the Senate completely under his control when he was Senate leader? I do. And he's now surfacing just as tenacious AGAINST Dump's BBB. This bird ain't going to fly. Keep your chin up.
Oh, I have no intentions of saying anything nice about Mitch. But I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. If he can disrupt his own party from passing a disasterous bill, I say "go for it."
My chin's been up and my eyes open on all of this for a long time - met the orange one in the '80's (ick, ugh, eeewww) when he was dining w the mob at a friend's restaurant.
McConnell has been a self-serving creep forever so whatever he does and says these days shouldn't be trusted, in my experience and opinion.
And Rand Paul is making noises... uh-huh. How will they all vote?
We have 2 D Senators here whose votes against the bill can't be counted on
(we wouldn't take the bet that they'd voted against it)
Marsha: separate question - do you think that McConnell wields as much influence and power as he used to wield?
We (our house, friends we discuss politics with) view him as a background fixture, he's hanging in there but concerns about his physical/medical frailty and possible cognitive issues beg questions as to whether whatever-he-does is of his own volition... or is he just a pawn, trucked out say a few words to support the regime? (we suspect it's a combination of the first and second). He's useful while he's still upright and can speak into a microphone. Cold? Yes. But this is who the regime is - and McConnell is complicit.
Oh, and the "Newt" has reappeared to say... things.
I think that it’s sad that it has come to this. Legislators who feel no obligation to their constituents, but to rich donors. All of them need to be voted out, including ineffective democrats who are quite frankly too old to care about what’s best for their constituents and forgotten how to fight. We are in perilous times, the office of the president has been diminished by a felon and his sycophants, laws being broken at will. Pitiful.
The blame for this downfall so fast is Citizens United and unlimited funds for the billionaires. I hope stare decisis bullshit artist, roberts, get it in the end.
Ain’t that the truth? I’m really tired of this dude showing his ugly face on my television and bald faced lying about whatever. Name something. He is so deranged his face is starting to gnarl up with all the hate he harbors for anyone different from himself. He’s a black hole that is constantly depleting my energy. His big beautiful political career suicide must begin soon. And he can take his Redneck Elegy bs vice criminal and all his goons with him. Adios, mufkers!
I have reached the point where I do not trust any polls nor do I trust words that come out of Republicans' mouths -individually and collectively.
Talk is cheap.
What do they actually DO?
So far - they continue to disappoint (which is probably the understatement of 2025) - as do many of our identified Democrats in the House and Senate. Too many examples to list here.
I am glad many, if not not most, voters are against the Beautiful Big Boondoggle bill. However,
I am not hopeful that will "do the trick," because Repubs will come into line in the end, even though Dems will be in strong opposition. I am somewhat hopeful that quite a few Repubs could lose their seats in 2026, but not if Elon Musk, who is back in the fold, decides to bankroll them.
Midterms are bound to be epically awesome, no matter what happens. If that horrid bill is passed, the newer, Bluer Congress can undo it all ng with putting the breaks of the Trump Train of Crazy!
I hope the BBBill will fail. I think it will. Nevertheless, all the Republicans need to be voted out of office and never again given a position of any responsibility. Then we need to ALL be involved enough that our reps never again fall into a trap of a madman.
The speaker of the House is so pathetic. I beg the media to drop him. Don't cover him. Don't ask him a question. Don't take a picture. He is a lost soul - let him be. I wish they would drop all coverage of trump. He only talks nonsense. Without publicity they are crushed.
Unfortunately Trump owns corporate media and they are all falling in line with the dictator😡 our only chance of the truth these days is independent journalism
There’s independent media out there which is growing and growing and growing. I subscribe to the Midas touch network. They are daily telling the truth, and calling out the Trump atrocities. Trump has tried to shut them down to no success so far. I urge everyone to check them out and if you’ve not subscribed, please do so.
Oh I subscribe to Meidas they are the best I watch several times a day on different platforms! Aaron Parnas is another one I subscribe! He’s very informative about the truth!
The Republicans have been committing political suicide since Trump took office. Trump doesn’t care all he wants is wealthy tax cuts and could care less about the rest of the country.
It will be awesome and the midterms will the the start of MAGA's downfall!
We can do it! We're going to save this democracy... and hopefully be a lot wiser as a nation as a result.
Once all the MAGAs are out of power, we can rebuild, reinstate a bunch a regulations, bring back the Fairness Doctrine. Reinstate Roe vs. Wade, make the John Lewis Voting Rights Act law and even draft a new Constitutional Amendment that keeps business and other special interests out of politics. no more "Citizens" United, no more Military/Prison Industrial Complex.
Also, the ERA!
This is American Revolution II we are fighting as well as Civil War II. A rebirth of ou nation into something better and freer for all and a final defeat of the Confederacy.
We can do it! This is a purging and cleansing of all the nasty stuff about the USA, it must come out in order to be washed away.
We can do it! We will save this nation from the Fascists! We must remain positive, protest peacefully and GET OUT THE VOTE IN EVERY SINGLE ELECTION, even the smallest, most local ones... becathey count too! Many a community is defined by stuff like local Police Chief, County Sheriff, Schoolboards, etc. those can make a big difference for good or bad.
Voting still works, the Democrats have been winning most elections this year, even in deep Red areas. Thus, voting still works.
As cowardly as the Republicans have been in (not) dealing with Trump, their vote supporting the OBBB should only be additive in getting them out of office!
Exactly! If anything, voting for it will make the midterm blue wave even bigger. The whole country, even many more conservative people, are peeved at this administration!
The reason I used the word socialism is that many Hispanics voted for Trump because he convin ed them the Democrats were soialists and he was a great capitalist. Welfare is good use of what is going on also. Too many think the words are only used when government money is given to the poor. It is times Americans get smarter.

It think whoever votes for it , regardless of party, should be voted out T the earliest opportunity.
So true! This whole vile process of things since the election has also shown many Democrats to be snakes in the grass also. They should ALL be primaried!
Beware of third party primaries. They can be toxic.

Yeah, who voted for tax cuts for gun silencers anyway... The Mafia? The Gangs? The Insane?
Let's Roll to the NOKINGS Rallies around the World this Saturday. Make a sign, RSVP on the web site, Make your plan and Save Democracy!
Your first line gave me my first laugh of this week. I'm thinking of making a sign saying
THE KING'S BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL SUCKS.
Sounds good. Pizza box works, light color spray paint and dark paint with half inch brush. Resist!
So they won't read it and will vote anyway?
(what's been offered as an excuse by various House members... like they don't have staff? - yes, reading is HARRRRRD.... )
My fear is that they'll vote for it anyway to appease Dear Leader
The saying fits here, Marsha - but I do think they're happy with the eggs overall and feel that their positions and privilege will protect them - so "why not vote for the bill?"
Maddening. Insane.
And here we are
Yep, all at 2 am while almost everyone is asleep.
Yup.
Like that's not completely suspect, above board, etc...
Yep. It's like armed robbery at 2am.
Remember how tenacious old Mitch McConnel was in keeping the Senate completely under his control when he was Senate leader? I do. And he's now surfacing just as tenacious AGAINST Dump's BBB. This bird ain't going to fly. Keep your chin up.
It's too late for me to say anything close to nice about Mitch who was a major contributor to our current problems. Too little too late
Oh, I have no intentions of saying anything nice about Mitch. But I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. If he can disrupt his own party from passing a disasterous bill, I say "go for it."

Oh, and the "Newt" has reappeared to say... things.
We need to keep positive and keep calling them and tell them that we can just vote their butts out!
I think that it’s sad that it has come to this. Legislators who feel no obligation to their constituents, but to rich donors. All of them need to be voted out, including ineffective democrats who are quite frankly too old to care about what’s best for their constituents and forgotten how to fight.

Especially ineffective dems under the influence of AIPAC, and there are a lot of them!
I’m with Terrie and Bea. Vote out all GOP and any Dem that would agree to the Big Bullshit Bill.
Amen! The Midterms are gonna be SWEET! I CAN'T WAIT! WE CAN DO IT!
I sure hope so, but I have so many doubts💙💙💙💙
Ain’t that the truth? I’m really tired of this dude showing his ugly face on my television and bald faced lying about whatever. Name something. He is so deranged his face is starting to gnarl up with all the hate he harbors for anyone different from himself. He’s a black hole that is constantly depleting my energy.

"Looks like a political death sentence"
Great - until it's dead - it's not dead.
I am glad many, if not not most, voters are against the Beautiful Big Boondoggle bill. However,

Tune in later...
Ask lame azz Susan Collins about her spine and that will be the tell.

He's so destructive that he'll be his own ruination. Can't wait

I also reject this horrible bill
It should be renamed as so cialism for the billionairs.
"NO WELFARE FOR BILLIONAIRES" is cleaner.
The reason I used the word socialism is that many Hispanics voted for Trump because he convin ed them the Democrats were soialists and he was a great capitalist. Welfare is good use of what is going on also. Too many think the words are only used when government money is given to the poor. It is times Americans get smarter.
Let's take the Raygone approach...
TAX THE BILLIONAIRE WELFARE QUEENS,
NOT THE MIDDLE CLASS!
It’s an abomination! It values people according to their net worth instead of how good a person they are. It’s ass-backward!
kill the fuk-you, bigly obscene bill!
