But a great day for the oligarch class.

It's not enough that the MAGA faithful have the boot of the erstwhile GOP on their neck, now they must lick that boot in servile submission.

I haven't heard that the Budget Busting Bill has passed the house but it seems it will. There seems to be no one with a spine left if the invertebrate Trumplican Party.

IT'S a happy day for Trump and Oligarchs both.

The "oligarch" language resonates with you and the faculty lounge, at best.

You keep enabling those you claim to be against.

In the meantime....dont' see too many objections to SALT relief ;)

Club 401K..... benefits just like the Oligarchs but they pretend to want fairness.

Tithe the 401Ks.

Make Greedy 401K'ers pay back all taxes, and make whole all the slave labor abroad.

With any luck you people can spend retirement in debt after that.

"But a great day for the oligarch class."

It is a sure thing that the big ugly bill passes thru the House. Any verbal wailing done
by MAGA Reps is strictly theatrical, just like Murkowski and Hawley etal in the Senate.

But I look at this as a necessary step in the growth of the American working class.
They, as a group, voted for this. Now it is time for them to start to feel what they
voted for. FAFO and all that it entails. The rest of us will see if the lessons take hold
by the mid terms in 2026, or if they are going to swallow all of Trump's bullshit
excuses as all MAGA politicians scramble for cover as the fallout of this bill hits.

I expect to hear a lot of "It's Biden's fault" excuses. We'll see if the voters are still
stupid enough to believe it, or if for once they hold MAGA responsible for the string of
lies they are feeding them. Really curious to see how the rural white and urban Latino
voters choose to vote, as they are gonna bear the brunt of this ugly budget bill. I expect the
rural whites to go down with the Trump ship. Not sure about the Latino's.

People like us will get scraped by all of Trump's megalomaniacal delusions he is foisting
on the Country, but not nearly as bad as the MAGA base are going to feel it.
