Senate Republicans came out of a meeting with no clear path forward, but they agree they want to make changes to the tax cuts bill that House Republicans oppose.
The big parade is just a vainglorious distraction. Smoke and mirrors. The real action will be on the ground, as usual, where ICE thugs are picking up college students and young mothers, and their kids, off the street and sending them out of their state, with no contact with family or lawyers. This is the real issue, cos you, and your family could be next.
Yep, nothing says "great democracy" like mask men with guns disappearing kids, young Mothers, hard working Dads with bogus ICE warrants that ARE NOT LEGAL, and sending them to El Salvador or Libyan prisons. Remember, The Langford - Murphy Senate Immigration bill could have averted this crap but was stopped by mad max queen don via threats to Senators. The magas and the drama queen wanted drama and here we are. Hope next stop for ICE is Fuxx noise or the NRA.
Plan for the worse hope for best. Of the six Senators that voted Guilty for Orange blob, Impeachment 2 - January 6th, only three are left standing: Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy and Lisa Murkowski. Even if all three voted against the Frankenstein bill, Vagina Vance is the tie breaker. Rand Paul has been blabbing about voting NO, but it could be a typical maga drama queen diversion tactic. Best to plan like they are all traitors and thieves of the Constitution at this point.
Let the bastards in the GOP House and Senate fight amongst themselves. What I know is this : Readers on this forum need to contact their GOP House and Senate representatives to let them know that raising the ceiling for the debt limit in order to give tax breaks to the 1% is tantamount to a crime.
It still amazes me that one insane man can keep such a hold over the republican legislators that they are afraid to oppose him on any issue. The big ugly bill is so against what will benefit this countries citizens and those legislators are kissing the a . . of their leader. Insanity as its best.
The tax and program cuts aren’t the only modifications required to make this bill acceptable. Our court system needs to be shored up, not zip tied by Mike the Johnson and company.
We The People need to simply vote in better, honest, normal, non criminal Presidents, Senators, and Representatives. Force real Ethics on the Supreme Court, like all other Federal Courts. Next, we add 4 more seats to the Supreme Court, as FDR wanted, and start undoing the Alito/Roberts/Thomas BS NON stare decisis decisions.
Two things I read about the House Republicans and the bill that I don't know if true. First that the majority had not even read the bill before voting and second, that some Republicans who were undecided had threats made against them to make them fall in line? I hope those in the Senate take their responsibilities more seriously.
This bill needs to be abolished, not modified.
AMEN, START OVER WITH AN "AMERICAN" BILL, NOT AN OLIGARCH BILL
I agree
Well, these guys may find themselves in El Salvador after the big parade...
That would be an improvement, wouldn't it?

You’re very accurate…and it could be me and my family. My late mother is English, and my daughter was born in New Zealand, and holds dual nationality.
I could be shipped to London and my daughter to Christchurch.
This parade will be an opportunity for the Bloated Yam to display both military force and police thuggery on a national scale.
It BETTER FAIL in its current state with the clause to allow this 🤡 administration to go AGAINST COURT RULINGS AND CUTTING CRUCIAL PROGRAMS!!
Putting our hopes on these guys is a recipe for disappointment.
*sticks a foot out and trips the bill over a nearby cliff* oopsie. You said a “nudge” 😗 🎶
Frankly I love it! I hope the bill fails and they have to start over!!
Maybe, just maybe, the Senators will do something rational to counter the insane House Republicans.

Think of Agent orange as a stupid Al Capone and what he would do as president; plan accordingly.

I'll believe it when the bill is dead.
They need to do what is right for the American people and start standing up to Trump .
That cow left the barn with the January 6th Impeachment.

First that the majority had not even read the bill before voting and second, that some Republicans who were undecided had threats made against them to make them fall in line?

After letting Trump get this far with all of his constitutional violations I don't trust any of them.
Heard that.
Fight it. They’re in disarray.
Remove the tax cut and see how the numbers work after that. Problem partly/mostly solved.
