I just can't believe Trump pulled off signing his bill on July 4th. First time I've seen a politician hit his goal date.
Art of the deal baby.

From a previous post. I love Reddit users and their thinly veiled threats of violence. Civil war? I’m begging the pink hairs to try it. I’ve seen the ANTIFA training videos.
 
Damn I cant wait for the Boomers to start dying off enmasse so Musk and Thiel can have their tax breaks

Lmao I fucking knew it, they're trying to claim money that they are literally not receiving right now as a loss in revenue just because if this bill didn't pass they would have received the money.

I hate this pinko nigger so much
The fucking gaslighting on this drives me insane. We had cost of living go up 20% in 4 years under Biden. Under Trump 1 it went up 8%. It is a complete fairy land. From the stock market, to the likelihood we get into a war, to cost of living. We have gone past them taking credit, claiming the last Democrat president was the one who caused things to now be good and are at just a complete break from reality.

>civil war

These are the types of people who cannot build farms properly (CHAZ) and would break immediately if there was a draft and were put on the front lines. What makes this guy think he is going to survive a major domestic crisis like a Second American Civil War when he's acting like a "halfway tough guy" like this?
 
Missed a chance to phrase it as Gul Dukat trying to make himself sound like a humanitarian...

You know, I could have taxed the poor a hundred percent and given that money to the billionaire class. Cut healthcare? I could have BANNED it completely! And the students whining about their loans? Many of my superiors on Cardassia suggested that I quadruple it to teach them a valuable lesson they wouldn't soon forget. I should've given ICE a trillion dollar budget and fueled coal power planets with their faggot flags JUST TO PISS THEM OFF..........deep breath.... but I didn't. I showed restraint. I showed them compassion.

AND NOT ONE STATUE IN MY HONOR IN WASHINGTON DC
 
I despise whataboutism, but with how things are, it's practically impossible to avoid whenever outrage happens. Of course, anybody that is objective would know that it's selective outrage for clicks, emotion and agenda pushing.
 
A strange sentiment I’m seeing online is the idea that Republicans are going to feel remorse now that ICE has been basically turned into a new branch of military. I don’t think they realize most of us are fully on board with the concentration camps they fear so much after Biden left the boarder wide open for four years.

Question about the Beautiful Bill since its so hard to find info without articles fearmongering. Does the whole "80 hours a month for Medicaid" apply only to people under retirement age?

I still don't entirely understand the difference between Medicaid and Care cuz I'm not a brokie. But I'm curious how this would effect some of the older folks in my family who benefit from it. (i dunno which one lol)
directly from the summary I hope I'm drunk as shit right now.
(Sec. 44141) This section requires, beginning not later than December 31, 2026 (or earlier, at the option of the state), individuals who are eligible for Medicaid as part of the Medicaid expansion population to engage in community service, work, or other activities in order to qualify for Medicaid.

Specifically, the section requires these individuals to, on a monthly basis, (1) work at least 80 hours, (2) complete at least 80 hours of community service, (3) participate in a work program for at least 80 hours, (4) be enrolled at least half-time in an educational program, or (5) engage in any combination thereof for a total of at least 80 hours. Individuals may also qualify if they have a monthly income that is at least as much as the equivalent of minimum wage multiplied by 80 hours.

Individuals who are applying for Medicaid must demonstrate compliance with these requirements for one month or more (as determined by the state) consecutively and immediately prior to filing an application; individuals who are already enrolled in Medicaid must demonstrate compliance for one month or more (as determined by the state), whether or not consecutive, during the period between the individual’s last eligibility determination and the next scheduled eligibility determination.

States must verify an individual’s compliance upon a determination or redetermination of eligibility but may also choose to verify compliance more frequently. States may not waive the new requirements. However, states may choose to provide an exception for individuals experiencing short-term hardships (e.g., hospitalization).

The section excludes certain individuals from these requirements, including those with serious medical conditions or dependent children.

The section provides funds for FY2026 for states and the CMS to implement these requirements.
The big thing that people are missing is the "also qualify if your monthly income is at least as much as the equivalent of minimum wage multiplied by 80 hours".

so if minimum wage is 6 dollars an hour. As long as you make 480 dollars a month you qualify. I think. I'm very drunk.

This seems like something that always should've been the case, they exist to reinforce our borders and prevent people from illegally entering. Before the modern era countries used their militaries to do that job (for the most part). Personally I don't believe that constructing concentration camps is the move because for one, that's expensive, and two that's just begging for leftist larpers to sperg out about the nazis.
I've always held the belief that the people who crossed illegally in the past simply just have to pay to get themselves documented, if they don't have the money for that then you either deport them or they owe the government that money (no interest). From that point forwards all new illegal immigrants would simply be deported.

I don't want concentration camps, that keeps them here. I want them gone, deportation is just the humane option.

No I agree. I’m just saying that whatever heinous thing they try to spook us with isn’t going to work. We’re long past tired. Biden was committing our equivalent of a holocaust on American culture. our response will be equally as devastating to their values in turn.
