Looks like the bill is going to harm rural hospitals, forcing them to cut staff or even close.
“If we lose any of our health care infrastructure, as a result of these cuts, you’re going to take our biggest problem and you’re going to make it significantly larger once again,” Shakespear said.
Shakespear says another major concern is that the bill adds a work requirement for Medicaid eligibility.”
“Many rural workers don’t receive regular paychecks, according to Shakespear, that means they’ll need special waivers.”
“Matt McCullough is with the Utah Hospital Association and said the waiver programs create more barriers, making it harder to access Medicaid.”
If the bill isn’t for seniors (who will be kicked out of nursing homes), and it’s not for people who use electricity (it will raise electricity bills), and it’s not for the fiscal hawks (it will add trillions to the debt), and it’s not for rural Americans, then who is it for?

Bad news for the fiscal hawks: the bill adds trillions to the national debt.

Sure hope no GOPers use electricity since their bill is going to raise electricity costs across the board.
Bad news for red states:
”Annual household energy costs could rise $845 per year in Oklahoma by 2035, and $777 per year in Texas. That’s because these states would be set to deploy a massive amount of wind and solar if Biden-era energy tax credits were left in place. If that goes away, states will have to lean on natural gas to generate power.”
“Blue states that are deliberately putting more clean energy onto their grids would still see prices rise over the coming decade, albeit far less, Orvis said. They are more immune to price shocks because they won’t be as heavily reliant on gas and coal.”
If the bill is bad for seniors in nursing homes, and bad for anyone who uses electricity (especially in some GOP states), it makes you wonder why they are so intent on passing this turd…

Sure hope there are no Republicans in nursing homes…

“The Democratic Party are Marxist Communists Socialists and also they are the party of the billionaires.”
-MAGA logic
Meanwhile, the party that received the overwhelming majority of donations from billionaires, is led by a billionaire, has a cabinet full of billionaires, and is trying to pass a bill that basically nobody likes that gives huge windfalls to billionaires while raising costs for average Americans is *not* the party of billionaires.
Got it.

One of the fun things about recognizing that most MAGA voters are just actually dumb is that when you point it out to them, they respond with non-sequitors because actually realizing that they are pawns of the elitist billionaire class requires them do the impossible task of thinking for themselves.

Do you remember when you were spinning in circles trying to defend Joe’s handling of classified documents over a long period of time? Was that bootlicking you were doing? Seems like it might have been.

Americans generally dislike the “Big Beautiful Bill”, including Republicans.
If voters hate the bill, but the GOP pushes it forward for some reason, maybe MAGA voters will start to think* about who really is in charge of the movement?
*Just kidding. Anyone still in the MAGA movement is incapable of independent thought. They stopped any brain function to focus all resources on licking boots.

Always funny when people who can’t read or lack critical thinking skills complain about being called stupid.
You can’t fix stupid. But you can point and laugh at them.
-
No matter how dumb and gullible you think MAGA is, it’s not as dumb and gullible as they actually are.
Unfathomable levels of stupidity here, and I’m sure you all will manage to top it soon enough.
No wonder the GOP wants to destroy the education system, they need a steady supply of idiots.

You should call it a night - this isn’t about Biden trying to cancel loans, it's about Trump lying to you.
The 'peace ticket' was just a distraction tactic, and now he’s using your anger to cover up his failures at home.
Look man, at best, they’re dumb. They’re just a bunch of dumb idiots who have no idea what is going on or what they are talking about. That’s why they keep pathetically trying to deflect like this and constantly move the goalposts.It’s like the country is being run by flat earthers. Try to reason with them at your own peril.

Bootlickers gotta lick boots.
Even if they spent the whole campaign talking about how Kamala was going to drag us into a war in the Middle East, as soon as Dear Leader does it, they come up with excuses.
At this point, you have to wonder: do they have preferences on which types of boots taste better? Are Timberlands the modern go-to, or do they long for the taste of a good Marschstiefel?

Precedent for this sort of thing was set long ago and no consequences were ever meted out. It is what it is. You should definitely beat this one into the ground though. The legality of the strike.
Once you are satisfied you have gotten your message across maybe we can go to another thread and talk about how right you were regarding border politics.
Yeah, Trump really seems to have found a final solution for the border question, huh? -

You can argue about this if you’d like .. and sure, maybe there’s merit, but the left would once again, be taking the 30 side of a 70/30 issue.
Guarantee you that this action polls incredibly well.
“The Constitution doesn’t poll well” is quite the statement. -
Any pro-Constitution MAGA rule of law types want to point out that this was blatantly unconstitutional?

It’s the opposite.
You let Iran have them, everyone can have them.
Especially in light of this crisis.
Yes, this is a thing that dumb people think.
But in the real world, this action, like the US stepping back from global hegemony, only incentivizes nuclear proliferation.
Countries with nukes generally don’t get invaded. Countries protected by countries with nukes generally don’t get invaded.

Gotta think that lots of countries are thinking of starting nuclear weapons programs now.
If no deal can be trusted, and you can be bombed and attacked for not having nukes even as you are negotiating a potential nuclear treaty, the only logical solution is to get nukes to prevent bombings.
We’re not bombing North Korea are we? Pakistan?
Everyone is going to want nukes to protect themselves now.

And there it is.
The President of Peace was a complete, utter sham.
And now the MAGAs will happily move the goalposts to defend this.
As I said, a complete utter sham
Dear Leader Donald the Dove is the Peace candidate who won’t start wars. That’s why we love Dear Leader for starting a war.

The US getting involved in another war in the Middle East?
This never would have happened if Donald Trump was President.

House Passes One Big Beautiful Bill. Passes Senate With Vance Tiebreaking Vote
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits

Looks like the GOP bill raises costs for most Americans by much more than the tax cuts.
If the bill isn’t for seniors (who will be kicked out of nursing homes), and it’s not for people who use electricity (it will raise electricity bills), and it’s not for the fiscal hawks (it will add trillions to the debt), and it’s not for rural Americans (who will lose access to hospitals), and it’s not for 80% of Americans (whose rising costs will far outpace the tax cuts) then who is it for?
