Donald gets what he wanted …..
He told his party people he’ll take care of them….
Wait…..
Oh?
Democrats ARE on their way to getting back the US House in 2027…..
Cause this thing IS aimed mostly as RED States….
“Republicans on Thursday notched the first major legislative victory of President Donald Trump’s second term, a mammoth tax and immigration agenda the GOP hopes will reshape the U.S. economy and unwind many of the Biden administration’s accomplishments,” the Washington Post reports.
“The House, in a 218 to 214 vote, passed Trump’s so-called ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ a $3.4 trillion measure to extend tax cuts from Trump’s first term and implement new campaign promises — such as eliminating income taxes on tips and overtime wages — while spending hundreds of billions of dollars on immigration enforcement and defense.”
“It raises the country’s borrowing cap by $5 trillion, staving off a debt default that the Treasury was weeks away from breaching.”
….
“We met with President Trump, and, you know, he did a masterful job of laying out how we could improve it, how he could use his chief executive office, use things to make the bill better. We accepted the bill as is. What’s different is President Trump is going to use his powers.”
— Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), in an interview with CNBC, on why he now supports President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”
…
“Tax breaks for billionaires — permanent. Tax breaks for everybody else expire.”
— Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), quoted by Punchbowl News, on the Republican budget reconciliation bill.

Michael Gold, New York Times,
Reporting from the Capitol
The two Republicans who voted against this bill were representative of the political divide within the party that threatened its passage. Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky is a fiscal hawk who strongly opposes measures that would increase the federal deficit and add significantly to the national debt. Representative Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania is a moderate from a battleground district that Democrats are eager to flip. He had previously expressed deep reservations about cuts to Medicaid funding.
At least those two can sleep good tonight……
It wasn’t THEIR fault….
Wow!
Shocking!
As requires constant reiteration…
Donald Trump owns the Republican Party and anyone who listens to those slimeball clowns in the uh “ freedom caucus” is a damn idiot.
He may-not be a true Republican but it don’t matter with the party lawmakers……
They ARE bending for him even if it hurts their
voters back home…..
Donald’s ‘party’ is HIMSELF
Haha!
You’re still on that kick,that Trump isn’t a “true’ Republican?
Good God man, this ain’t 2016!
Trump IS the Republican Party.He owns it.Those blowhard Republicans in Congress? They’re nothing but babbling little wimps that Trump can, at any time, bend to his will after they’ve blown off some irrelevant garbage that no one but an idiot would take seriously.
You simply refuse to understand that the Republican Party of ten years ago no longer exists.Trump totally controls the national party and most state parties.
So it’s Trump who is a “ true” Republican while the likes of you pitifully lives in a past that no longer exists .
He isn’t a Republican…….
He’s his OWN Party
He joins whatever makes him money and power
Ideas and Policy are just his means to a goal
Always WAS…..
Always WILL BE……
“It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to;
You would cry too if it happened to you”

“Everybody wants to rule the world…’
Dumb but not surprising.
Indeed James define for us,what is a “ true” Republican ?”
Oh come on James
You’re the one talking about “ true Republicans.”
Tell us all who they are.Define them .Name them.
Otherwise? You’re nothing but a two bit blowhard,just mouthing off with nothing legitimate to say.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity….
— The Second Coming, by William Butler Yeats (1919)
S
Scary Shit, EH?
Some of us are MORE convinced that the convicted guy leading things WILL over sell what he’s doing
And?
He will fall off the wall like Humpty Dumpty….
Yeah you’ve been babbling that junk for eight damn years and Trump is stronger than ever .
Ordered his fellow Republicans who saluted yessir and adopted his “ big beautiful bill” which will reshape much of American life.
And all you can say is he’s not a “ true Republican “ which you then cannot even define?
Clown foolery
I REPEAT…….
Donald has NO goal except to make money
He did it as a Democrat , Reformist and now as a Republican…
More horse manure.
Most people want to “ make money.
What does that have to do with him not being a “ true Republican?”Indeed,helping rich people get richer has been a prime goal of Republicans for years and amusingly,you’ve bitched about that frequently here.
So that’s all you got?
Trump wants to make money so that proves he’s not a “ true Republican?”
Like I said…
Pure horse manure.
Indeed most people DO want to make money
Republicans just voted to ‘steal ‘ money and benefits from those WHO HAD it….
Doing this in broad daylight and screwing those in RED state ‘s worse….
True Republicans cooking the books to UNBALANCE the budget by Trillions while cutting IRS people who had collected Billions more under Biden ….
‘True’ Republicans up a few days ago wanted LESS of a budget deficit
Trump talked them down,….
Again?
Trump ain’t a ‘TRUE’ Republican
Never Was
Never WILL BE….:
Gonna be a LOT of crying off this
Trump ain’t running again
He don’t CARE…..
So so James,how about JD ance?
Is he a “ true Republican?
Marco Rubio?
Steve Bannon?
Lana Trump?
Donald Jr?
Eric Trump?
Come on !We need some clarity here!
Who is a “ true Republican ?
Yes CG…….
They ARE……/
My comment that did not post is not appearing. Thanks.
One thing I enjo pay about Trump is the way he treats the Republican trash in Congress with the total contempt
they deserve.
Listen to dumbass Republicans like that Texas goofball Chip Roy and Andy Harris claiming they would never vote for Trumps bill,then folding like a wet cloth when their owner growls at them!
The only thing worse than these useless pieces of garbage is the Texas idiots who vote for them!
See how easy it IS for Trump to ‘own’ THIS Republican Party for sale!
This is an old debate by this point. What was once a “True Republican” (such as yours truly) have either not been able to remain Republicans or have had to alter what being a Republican is in their own mind. It is totally a Trump party now, so the rest is irrelevant. It’s no different than a classic band that keeps touring with no original members. Their fans still show up.
My question though is if Zohran Mamdani is a “True Democrat?” Do Democrats think he represents the mainstream of the party or the future of the party or are they simply content to co-exist within him it as some sort of big tent? The latter is of course how so many Republicans came to view Trump about a decade ago.
Democrats like Republication’s come in different types……
WingNuts
Moderates
Hardcore
Men
Women
Straight
Gay
Poor
Rich
And even Different Colors
Oh?
I forgot Immigrants…..
Gee I didn’t know that.
Mr. Obvious strikes again!
What I miss is his once striking insight that
(Name of an elected official) is “ just a politician.”
in moderation
