House Republicans lifted President Donald Trump’s $4.5 trillion spending cuts and deficit increasing bill to final passage Thursday, overcoming multiple setbacks to approve his signature second-term policy package before a self-imposed Fourth of July deadline. Trump is expected to sign the bill tomorrow at 5 p.m. ET.

The tight roll call, 218-214, came at a potentially high political cost, with two Republicans joining all Democrats opposed. GOP leaders worked overnight and the president himself leaned on a handful of skeptics to drop their opposition and send the bill to his desk to become law.

The outcome delivers a milestone for the president and his party, a longshot effort to compile a lengthy list of GOP priorities into what they called his “one big beautiful bill,” an 800-plus page package. With Democrats unified in opposition, the bill will become a defining measure of Trump’s return to the White House, with the sweep of Republican control of Congress.

>Uniparty
>every democrat votes against it
????

Welp, we're fucked.

Well, it was nice having a country while it lasted.

It's gonna take more than voting or peaceful protest to get us out of this.

>>1417803 (OP)
You know what? Good. Let them own this. So when people are dying and the debt is fucked, we know exactly who to blame.

>>1417804
Silly anon, don't you know the rules?
"The Uniparty did it" is what we say when Republicans are 100 percent to blame for something going wrong.
See also:
>Both sides bad
>Two wings of the same bird
Now, of course, if any Democrat were to have voted for this, the rules dictate you would have to pin 100 percent of the blame on that Democrat and the Democrat party as a whole

>>1417810
And then what? AND THEN WHAT?

>>1417810
You are one incredibly naive anon if you think they won't still blame it on Biden or something, or that people won't believe them.

>>1417813
Also that. And then what? We'll vote them out? Do you seriously think we're ever going to have a fair election again?

>>1417813
Then we pick up the pieces when the next election comes and spend the ensuing dem decade analyzing and undoing all the damage. Sucks but votes have consequences and you gotta live through them.

>>1417810
Nope.
America will blame Democrats for not stopping the Republicans from doing this.
Even though America voted Republicans back into power.
Despite that, when things get bad enough, America will begrudgingly vote Democrats back into power to clean up the mess Republicans made.
Which they will do, despite Republican obstruction at every step.
And America will respond by... voting Republicans back in to punish Democrats for not cleaning up the Republican mess fast enough.
And the cycle begins anew.

The country my parents lived in dealt with a dictator for 43 years after declaring emergency powers. The only thing we have going for us is Trump is old but he's not the main root of the problem.

>>1417803 (OP)
Gotta say, trumps had an undeniable winning streak.
Over the last year:
- he literally dodged a bullet
- he's been awarded a total of $45 million from multiple media outlets who either lied about him or tried to influence the election
- he became president
- he won his birthright citizenship
- he got his spending bill
- he effectively stopped virtually all illegal border crossings
- his overall deportation numbers of people being deported by ice from the country interior (as opposed to by cbp within a few miles of the border) is an all-time high for any president
- district judges can now only issue injunctions within their districts rather than nation wide
- revised NATO cost sharing agreement
- trumps deployment of the national guard in California was upheld... By the 9th circuit, no less

>>1417821
Winning is easy when you don't have to follow the rules.

What an easy stat to do when you ignore due process and revoke legal status. And yet he still can't make his own quotas...

>>1417819
Republican voters are so stupid, they listened to their reps argue against Bidens transportation bill for months and loudly vote against it, then literally turn around and claim they won all the money they voted against for their states.
Look at the stupid shit the esl shill believes >>1417823

Republicans keep saying that they're easily fooled sheep who love being tricked out of their money, maybe its time to start believing them.

>>1417820
I don't think Trump being old matters at all. People say "Oh, he's the lynchpin of the party, nobody else can draw a crowd like him." But that doesn't matter if they don't care about elections anymore, and with how they're acting they clearly don't.

>>1417819
I think we've reached the end of that cycle.

>>1417827
>>1417825
Absolutely SEETHING lmao.
They're called facts, fagtards. Deal with them, they are part of living in reality.

It's a cult of personality. They will eat each other when he dies because he focused the whole thing on himself.

TLDR of the "Big Beautiful Bill":
>Rich people get richer
>Poor people get less government services for their tax dollars
>Out of pocket healthcare costs increase across the board
>The national debt still goes up by trillions of dollars
Honestly, as far as Republican legislation goes, pretty benign.

>>1417836
ICE got billions. They now have more funding than the fucking Marines.

>>1417828
>I don't think Trump being old matters at all
That's what I was implying. The GOP has always been like this. Trump simply accelerated it.

>>1417836
You literally are in the dawn of an army whose entire existence is to sick on its citizens.

>>1417838
I think it's gonna be really funny when they still can't meet their own quotas.

>>1417842
Stephen Miller is going to spend so much time screaming at ICE officers to storm Home Depot that he's barely going to get an hour a week to sit in a corner jacking off while Elon fucks his wife.

>>1417842
...It was never about the quota for the illegals, anon. Why do you think Trump wants to remove birthright citizenship and is looking at just straight up REVOKING citizenship of permanent residents?

>>1417842
I don't. They'll just start going after legal immigrants instead. Which they're already doing.

>>1417846
Legal Immigrants are protected under the 2nd Ammendment.
Trump is telling them they have nothing to lose, they're going to be sent to a concentration camp and then out to some prison in a random country to be beaten and tortured.

There's literally no reason for immigrants to not shoot ICE agents, and if they don't identify themselves, provide a warrant, and hide under a mask, its legal to shoot them.

>>1417849
ICE now has a budget bigger than the marines. And you know the second people start shooting them Trump will start cracking down on guns or start forcibly taking over cities. Probably both.

>>1417803 (OP)
It's probably going to be popular, too. The bill is front-loaded with the good shit, while all the bad stuff kicks in several years later. By that point, people will have forgotten and blame who ever poor schmuck is in charge then.

>>1417849
That doesn't matter. If they shoot the ICE agents sent to kidnap them then they'll send in a bigger, more lethal ICE squad next. Or a SWAT team, or the actual army, or just fucking drone strike their house or something. They're still dead either way. And if this becomes a trend then they'll just repeal the 2nd Amendment and be done with it.
Realize that if the government ever felt threatened by our guns they would take them away faster than you can blink.

>>1417850
>ICE now has a budget bigger than the marines.
If ICE was a military, which it sorta is, it would have the third biggest budget of every military on the planet, behind only the actual US army and China.
ICE has more money than the Russian military, and Russia is engaged in an active war.

>>1417856
Out of curiosity, what parts do you think are going to be popular?

>>1417873
Tax cuts and tipping reforms. Most voters expect immediate results and lack object permanence. When they find that it isn't as disastrous initially as opponents were making it out to be, they'll swap their own opposition. When the bad shit kicks in, they'll have already forgotten and be blaming something more immediate.

>>1417875
Then it’s our job to make sure they don’t forget.

>>1417875
The problem is the tariffs and medicare increases will drown those out instantly. Don't think that won't impact prices now just because the final ceasing of funds happens down the line.

>>1417878
>>1417880
>>1417875
Yeah, I don't think Americans care. They can be homeless and bankrupt from some minor treatment whose prices were jacked up 5000% as the EU-Canada-China coalition bombs their cities and small towns, and they'll still be more angry over trannies and Mexicans.

>>1417882
They'll care when the PAYGO law from thirty years ago kicks in to cover the new deficit and medicaid (that's the one keeping all the boomers alive) is mandatorily decimated next year.

>>1417900
Sorry, medicare. Medicaid is the one they intentionally gutted. Medicare is the one that's about to be "accidentally" gutted.

>Most households — about 85 percent — would get a tax cut in 2026, according to an analysis from the Tax Policy Center

Huh. Weird that bot that claims every body is a non-American esl shill is no where to found right now.

>>1417936
Nope here's the chart
https://files.catbox.moe/tfrp0o.jpg

>uniparty
Too many dumbfucks voting Republican to let Dems block this dumb bullshit doesn't mean we have a uniparty.

>>1417941
The last time we had a uniparty was probably back in 2010.

>>1417936
Thanking Republicans for blowing out the value of your income and assets with rampant inflationary spending because you think billionaires deserve a dime more than they already have is slave talk.

>>1417943
Well you ain't a redhat if you ain't on your knees sucking the dick of Trump and his billionaire collaborators.

>>1417942
The last time we had a uniparty was never. Closest we ever got was the neocons+neolibs era with the peak being post 9/11.

Since 2006 the parties have only grown more and more apart. We aren't at historic levels of division, but we're nowhere god damn near uniparty and the dipshits that say otherwise need to quit eating fucking paint.

>>1417933
Their budget increased by more than $150 billion. $38 a year. That's more than the FBI, DEA, and ATF combined. They got that much funding at the same time as Trump saying he wants them to step it up and is building prison camps here on American soil.
Will there be corruption and will some of that money just be pocketed? Yeah, no shit, it's MAGA. But saying that it's all going to be pocketed is pure cope.

>>1417948
A lot of that budget will go towards building camps. Therefore it will go towards construction. Construction that is run by Trump's cronies.

>>1417953
>A lot of that budget will go towards building camps.
Oh, good.
jesus fucking christ what is this fucking nightmare timeline

>>1417955
The one where we enforce immigration law.

>>1417957
>Guys I assure you the literal by definition concentration camp where we sell merch about feeding people to alligators is essential for enforcing immigration

>>1417958
They trespassed on our land illegally, what did you expect would happen

>>1417960
Oh, you mean the ones who literally came here legally and got their status revoked? Or how about the ones who are getting denaturalized because they said israel bombing gaza was bad actually?

Let's not even get into the fact illegal immigration itself is a misdemeanor, not even a felony. Or the fact it being a misdemeanor in of itself is a relatively recent development historically.

>>1417960
Not concentration camps and merch about feeding people to alligators.

>>1417964
You don't have to go into the concentration camp if you don't come here illegally. It's not hard to understand.

>>1417966
>Come here legally
>Just a few months away from taking citizenship test
>Trump admin suddenly voids immigration and says you have to self deport
>Can't go back because you have nothing left where you came from, hence why you fucking moved in the first place
>Die in a concentration camp that can't hold up to a single storm yet was built in the middle of a florida swampland, thus meaning you either drown or get eaten by swamplife when it floods

BTW the crime you're punishing is a misdemeanor. What's next, hanging shoplifters?

I've always been in favor of enforcing immigration law, but that means all this nazi shit with death camps and secret police, then forget it, take it back. It's not worth sinking that low.

>>1417962
They don't belong here. Everyone one of them and their children too. You don't like Trump, you don't like America, well neither do you, and we got a plane ticket for you back to wherever you came from.

>>1417973
>They don't belong here
Thats like, your opinion, man
the average immigrant contributes more to this country than you do

>>1417976
It's hilarious to me how it's always people from the Bumfuckistan drains on the economy who feel the most strongly about everyone else being lazy and entitled twats.

>but they grow the food
Only a handful of them, and while I do respect farm work no matter the political persuasion, even that is staffed by significant immigrant labor, not to mention all the farming subsidies they get on top.

>>1417973
>You don't like Trump, you don't like America
The fact you merge the two says a lot about your worship of your god. Trump isn't America no matter how much he corrupts it.

>>1417968
>Can't go back because you have nothing left where you came from
Not my problem.

>Trump Accounts for newborns will be seeded with a one-time government contribution of $1,000. The accounts will track a stock index and allow for additional private contributions of up to $5,000 per year. This will afford a generation of children the chance to experience the miracle of compounded growth and set them on a course for prosperity from the very beginning.
Well that's pretty neat actually

>>1418029
The tax bill includes a "Trump account," previously called a "money account for growth and advancement," or MAGA account. The government would put $1,000 into accounts for babies born after December 31, 2024, and before January 1, 2029. The baby would be required to have been born in the US and have a Social Security number to receive the cash. The money would need to be invested in a qualified index fund and can't be touched until the child turns 18. Parents and others could contribute up to $5,000 a year to each account.

The accounts would have tax incentives; earnings would be tax-deferred, meaning taxes on the accounts would not need to be paid right away. Withdrawals from the accounts would also be taxed at the long-term capital-gains rate, which is dependent on income and typically lower than the regular income tax rate.

>>1418021

You need to get into Canada quick before Orange Man hits you with a drone strike! Hurry, run! RUN!

>>1418049
Swing and a miss. Trump is a paid puppet, always has been. The antisemitism in this term is coming almost entirely from Stephen Miller, an actual neonazi and THE biggest creep in DC.

Man.

He’s immune to prosecution, the lower courts have been neutered, he’s building the camps, he’s got the a private army more funded than the marines, and all the opposition is doing is peacefully protesting and talking about the midterms, as if either of those things matter anymore.

Why should all those in Texas vote Republican when the GOP allowed Trump to politically exist? Are they wrong in not voting Republican in the midterms to get their revenge on that which never cared about them right now, and in the all-important months & (two) years from today?

Nazi didn't have the one drop rule that American nazis do. They gladly accepted mixed jews into the regime whereas American nazis didn't.
But this retard >>1418096 doesn't know that. He doesn't even know that MAGA is neofascist, not neonazi; they've built a coalition using national lines instead of ethnic lines. They don't give a shit about race. Sanchez the ICE agent will gladly cave your skull in if you don't have your papers.

>>1418111
>In Summary:

No, Nazis did not "gladly accept" people of mixed Jewish ancestry into the regime. The regime’s entire racial ideology was built on the exclusion and persecution of Jews and anyone deemed not racially "pure." Any Mischling allowed to serve did so as an exception—under suspicion, with restrictions, and never truly embraced by the core of Nazi ideology.

They're targeting birthright citizenship and stripping citizenship from immigrants. No they fucking haven't and no they fucking aren't. That's just what they tell some of their dumber dipshit followers that are okay with xenophobia but draw the line at open racism.

Remember, the unfailing trend with nazis is there is always a more in in group that will dispose of everyone beneath them once they get they've served their purpose. You can never be pure enough.

>>1418205
>For the same reason there's rampant colorism in Mexico.
It's because they're American citizens.
Those liberals they're deporting for criticizing Israel? Most of them are an off-shade of White.
Muh racism is a cope for dummies.

Just stop letting browns in, stop backing LGBT and stop pretending the minority interests are normal Americans.

Jesus fucking christ, this all could have been avoided if you people would just stop pretending like anyone but WASPs and their progeny matter in this country.

>>1417933
Bingo Bazingo.

They'll somehow spend half a billion for each chain link fence alligator summer camp. (Which is dumb because the migrants will just eat them anyway)

They will use some companies on the stock exchange to do it, then buy a ton of shares beforehand and make billions and billions and billions and billions... and billions and billions.


And billions and billions and billions and billions...

>>1418247
>It's because they're American citizens.
Plenty of American citizens want no part of ICE. No it isn't. Stop being a chump.
