    I saw Trump voters online already freaking out about this. Also saw a Trump voting veteran lose his shit after it was announced Trump is fucking them too. Leopardseatingpeoplesfaces is gonna have so much content in the next four years

    It’s gonna be peak face-eating season during holidays when my parents go to retire during this presidency but find out that they can’t because social security doesn’t exist anymore, 75% of their paycheck goes to either the military budget or kings tribute tax, and everything has doubled in price.

    Looks like it’s scumbag politics… They want all the credit. They don’t want the population associating this with any Democrats whatsoever, they want to make it appear as a GOP bill passed by a fully GOP lead government… It will be passed, but not until next year so they can claim full credit…

      You do understand their agenda is to cut services? They will be taking credit for that.

        Generally yeah, but even the article pointed out that it was bipartisan and the scumbags caucus was the one that put it on the shelf for now. There was a lot of language about “unfair distributions” so if anything they’ll make slight clarifications to that. Social security is kind of a “third rail” of politics, you touch it you die.

        Old people and billionaires are the two classes of people you don’t mess with in politics, one votes for you the other owns you, but then again now that gen z seems to be brainwashed by Reich wing disinformation podcasts and tictoks maybe Republicans will ditch their fear of old people revolting against them.
