The Shit Bill passed. In addition to the horrible stuff already discussed, ICE is now the most funded federal enforcement agency in history. I'm sure there will be more alligator concentration camps to come.
HAPPY FOURTH EVERYONE. I want to puke.
Political suicide? Does the electorate have that short of a memory? I guess we'll find out.

I dunno. I can't rule out not having normal elections by November of 2026 and I think they're banking on that too.

It's possible that there won't be anything that starts with "elect'" if things keep going this way.

This bill really felt like the last significant do or die moment for the country, given what's in the bill.
The votes weren't going to be there to stop it, but there was also barely any outrage. Media calling it by Trump's name for it and never discussing the details, smoothing over the illegal ICE abductions, the LA military occupation. And now it's all gone to shit. I am also on team puke.

He's gotten everyone of his bullshit initiatives rammed through with Mike Johnson tossing his salad the whole way. Democracy is truly dead. The Democratic establishment didn't want to jeopardize their insider trading advantage.

The Republican line is literally that people die every day. That's it. That's all we got going for us at this point, our ultimate death. At least find solace in the fact that there is no God, no heaven for these ghouls to return to. It's just cold bodies rotting in the ground.

That was all talk. Once Trump asks MAGA to give up their guns, they'll do it without question. That would disarm a good portion of America. It's either that or he'll deputize them all for a leftist hunting day once all the immigrants are in detention centers.

You better get some then, because no one is going quietly into the night.
I mean, it's really clear that he's manufacturing a complete crisis to stay in power.
If his base can kill Democratic lawmakers and it's a footnote in the new cycle, I mean...

Based on the turnout for the recent parade, sadly, this would be a way for him to get people to show up and give him attention.
