880 billion dollar for would literally be eliminating Medicaid, hope everyone who voted trump and Republicans are good with this, especially those who are poor and have kids with special needs.

    Why is everyone surprised? This what republicans wanted. This is what they campaigned for. If you haven’t been listening carefully for the past few years, this is exactly what they’ve always wanted.

    This is no surprise.

        Willfully ignorant. They know they’ll never reach whatever passes for the American dream these days. But as long as people with darker skin are hurt more they’ll be happy to watch wealthy people on TV. **Voyeur Capitalism ** is what I call it.

      It’s no surprise, but what confuses me is why they would want to kill off their most loyal supporters? Maybe they really are all in on no more fair elections so it doesn’t even matter if the rural poor die or become homeless

        Because contrary to what they say in public, they actually do believe a global climate disaster is coming. They all have extremely well-stocked doomsday bunkers the size of small towns with a host of servants to keep them fat and happy, and they’re now trying to juice us for all we’re worth before we die.

        Some of them are dominionists, too, and are either convinced Jesus is coming back any day now or are determined to kick off WW3 like it will be a signal flare. They’re desperate for the rapture, and they’re more than willing to kill us all to get it.

        The really dangerous ones are a mix of both, and now they’re fully in charge.
