That gut punch should be delivered to Mike Johnson with tsunami force. He is a traitor to his constituents and to our nation.

Mike Johnson lies as much as Trump does. He is two-faced and wrong most of the time. He is dishonest all the time.

Yes, Speaker Johnson's lawyering prior to Congress has Project 2025 as his higher calling.

He so.d his soul to the devil when he kissed Cockwomble’s ass one too many times. This bill should be dubbed as the One Bastard Bullshit Bill.

The CBO spends at lot of time to analyze legislation and are required to put a cost on the legislation they are very rarely wrong . Most of the MAGA folks have no idea what the CBO responsibilities are. They just listen to TACO Trump.

Also along with the CBO report is the GAO report this is how congress for 50 years gets all the true facts on legislation. But it appears most republicans are ignoring the report.

We need to understand if they decided that extending the 2017 tax cuts is considered a zero-sum item in the budget. Because -- it added trillions of dollars to our national debt and has kept us in deficit spending since it was passed. It will continue to add trillions of dollars to the national debt and the new spending is probably the 3.7 trillion they are talking about.

That would mean that the real cost of this bill is more like over 6 trillion in spending that there is no revenue for. And, the revenue will decrease as more and more people are deported and not paying taxes any longer.

Trump tax bill will add $2.4 trillion to the deficit and will cut taxes by $3.75 trillion. So spending is going to go up and tax income is going to go down according to the CBO.

Exactly correct the 2017 Tax cuts have added trillions to the deficit and will continue. MAGA folks have blamed Biden for his deficit but most of it was from Trumps 2017 tax cuts. I just don’t understand how these Trump supporters think there so ignorant to facts and they ignore facts. They just listen to TACO man and Fox News.

Nothing says Republican governance more than a huge debt load to fund tax cuts for the richest while simultaneously killing off support for the needy and trashing medical research. #EverythingTrumpTouchesDies

You should seriously think about semantic infiltration and start using Elon’s terminology to supplant this ridiculous β€œBig . . . Bill” garbage. Call it what it is everywhere you can. It’s a β€œDisgusting Abomination.” Punch back where and whenever you can. Game theory informs that tit for tat is the only appropriate strategy. Don’t just be reactive.

Trump is simply enriching himself and making a mockery of the presidency β€œfor the people,” except for the needy, the poor, and immigrants. MAGA is no better than to Nazis at this point. No one is looking out for the taxpayers and the poor.$$$$$ rules.

It is time to put Democrats in charge. At least, they don’t lie like the MAGA Folks do. Our government is a sham right now. Everyone lies except the CBO.

We listened to Johnson spew his lies last Sunday on Meet The Press, speaking in his condescending squeaky voice over Kristen Welker as he insisted over and over that these facts were not true, that the CBO is historically incorrect, and that wealth would come to all! He makes me cringe!

Disturbing line items that stand out are many but the contempt of court elimination and no AI legislation or restrictions allowed is simply unacceptable. Keeping Americans safe is job #1.

To let the citizens know that trump plans on taking over the Judge's job and he will have complete control. I do not want him to have complete control. He's already ruined enough in this country.

I am afraid TRUMP and his minions don't care. They knew this going into the budget. I believe it's a conservative estimate, debt will go higher. GDP will shrink and revenues with it. Tariffs (taxes) will depress purchases by mainstream consumers and further slow the markets. The downward spiral will continue.

It is absurdity on steroids and all Republicans and administration and lobbiests who voted/ pushed for it need to be held responsible for ALL the negative outcomes both professionally and personally. What will the human toll be? So foolish to want to hurt the most needy to give more to the extreme wealthy. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING??? (OR DRINKING). Despicable...United and strong we must be.

His minions do not care. They look at it like this, and I quote from a jerk who posted on another substack: "Trump won the popular vote, swing states, electoral college and a majority of state legislatures and governors. That’s all that matters. And he did it with zero corrupt , unvetted ballots."

As far as MAGAs are concerned, he won and he represents the majority - which is not true - but, well, this guy and others like him are delusional and only see and hear what they want to hear. On a side note, that means he and his MAGA buds own everything trump does and all the death and stain that comes with it.
