Oh wow. Democrats actually know how to party line vote instead of being complicit in the name of bipartisanship. Took them long enough to figure it out.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I'm starting to wonder if this is all a conspiracy along the lines of some major geological event is going to happen, most of the middle and lower class will die or go through extreme upheaval, and there's a power grab now so that those in power now already have the institutions and resources set up to keep power in that scenario.
Something like global warming/apophis asteroid just completely resetting our game board.
This ties in with the anti LGBTQ+ movement to try and force an increase in population as much as possible so that there can be a larger numbers of foot soldiers for a resource grab.
It's all very tin foil hat, but it feels more reasonable than it should considering everything else that's been happening recently.
If the above is a thing, Europe should think about offering intelligent US citizens even nicer visa packages to take advantage of the trump hate.
It's a conspiracy, to destroy government regulations and set up corporate sovereignty. I.e. corporate feudalism, tech fascism, and a cyberpunk future. For those of us that survive anyway.
They're already present in several countries. The Network State.
No we are just out of resources to scrape. Everyone already owns them and the rich don't openly fight the rich.
The new resources are the minutes of the workers lives while they are not working. Our thoughts on brands and policy. The new children that can be workers for life. And occasionally any new area that might not already have a drill and mine in it currently they might be able to make one work in like Greenland or the ocean floors.
There is just a new fight among those that already have everything for whatever more they can get and there simply isn't much left to go around.
A bunch of them believe the end is coming for them or for all of us. This is just about getting the highest score before it comes.
It's actually about deregulating biotech and medical technology. So they can run experiments on their wage slaves and figure out how to outlive the rest of us.
Nah they just want to Elysium us before their wealth gets redistributed
Instead of scrolling down and seeing your response, I posted the same web page.
Cyberpunk future. That's what they want. Corporate feudalism. Unregulated biotech and medical research. So they can outlive the rest of us. While we all become their wage slaves.
Leopards are going to be very busy for the next 4 years.
Same name as the mega-corp in The Boys. Can't go wrong, right?
Fuck this unamerican chode with a pineapple.
Pineapple is too kind, cactus is a much better fit for his large gaping ass and will be extremely painful.
Pineapples are acidic and eat tissue.
unfortunately, I don't have ready access to appropriately sized cacti here.
Damnit, where's Paige when you need her.
Republicans celebrated the confirmation vote, with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., saying on X that with Vought's help, “we’ll restore fiscal sanity to our budgets and dismantle the ~~regulatory~~ state.”
Fixed that for him.
bye bye trans healthcare via medicaid
A billion dollars was spent trying to stop this.
Spent where?
On ineffective ads and feckless political consultants
What I find funny (not "haha" funny) is that when he gets what he wants all of these people will be out of a job and stripped of their power regardless of party affiliation. They don't seem like the type that like to share power.
What I find funny (not “haha” funny)
"curious"
“Funny haha”. Because of the context I didn’t even think about it.
I haven’t heard “funny haha” in a long time.
Man. If I were gay I’d start a band (or something) called Funny HaHa.
The world is so packed with people I’d say someone has by now.
If their Voters weren't Idiots this would backfire IMMENSELY! Fortunately whatever happens is BIDENS FAULT!
So, lots of cuts?
Just one per fascist neck.
dorks.
