Well the house passed the Trump budget. No Democratic votes so there's only one party to blame.
It was a procedure vote not an actual vote on a Bill. One of the ways the Republicans got it to pass was they left out some details of the bill itself.

JFC! ... This is how Trump is helping you, MAGA. By selling citizenship to rich foreigners. I'm wondering if Maga thought selling green cards was ever something they saw as part of an America First Agenda? Lol!

Trump and DeSantis already have these arrangements with rich Russians who get their kids born here and claim residency. There’s a lot of very wealthy cartel members that will like this too. And Saudi Arabians.

Isn't this the same type of program Jared Kushner's family got caught promoting in China in 2017. Visas for cash? or some shit. Aren't these visa's used by people who are corrupt to hide their assets abroad? In places like Cyprus, for example, Eastern European mobsters invest millions in real estate knowing that authorities back home won’t be able touch the money or bother prosecuting someone who can hide behind the legal protections their new citizenship provides. There is already a program that’s lets rich people invest in America. I see this as letting rich people buy a pass to live in America for as long as they want, overpay for real estate, buy up large tracts of land, and otherwise contribute nothing…Never paying taxes. So how much will he tax these wealthy rubes?

He wants Americans to do the menial labor that illegal immigrants do now while he imports rich foreigners to perform the good, high-paying jobs.

Can I sell my US citizenship for $5 million? Is that the current market value?

Hmm, my family of four, $20 mil? Relocate?

What are you a fucking Marxist?
I'm told by sources that this is a far-left echo chamber so obviously we're all Marxists :p
John Stewart cut his hand smashing a mug while talking about things like fossil fuel subsidies on this past Monday's show.
I did see that, I kept wondering how bad it was when he had his hand out of view. This isn't the first time I've mentioned their conspicuous absence in DOGE's findings :)

Does it even matter? The constitution is meaningless when the checks and balances are all along for the ride with the lunatic totalitarian. I don't see how the constitution is going to save us when it would require shitbag GOP congressmen and shitbag GOP judges to break ranks from the nazi the supreme court handed this power to.
Oh, you mean stuff like this?

Trump wants US forces to invade Afghanistan to... *checks notes*.... recover US equipment.

Unclear if Def Sec Hegseth is laughing his ass off, or giving the Nazi salute and marching off to war.
I'm sure he'd gladly spend $50+ billion to recover $7 billion in equipment (which would probably be worth less after a successful invasion...)
Oh yeah, also doing this with a reduced military budget and a lot of qualified individuals having already been shed from the military and replaced with Trump lackeys.

And not to say that was already sold to Iran, Russia and other countries since those monkeys don't fully use it, even it their lives ends into risk.

Are you saying Biden and Kamala are honest? You might want to check on that.
LOL! In comparision to Trump, they are perfect angels when it comes to false or misleading statements. I know, you want to believe that if they lied or misspoke once, it's equivelant to Trump doing it 100 to1000 times to that one. There isn't a person on this planet that doesn't exagerate, or make false claims (knowenly or unknowenly) at times, and if you think otherwise, you are lying to yourself. Sometimes it's on purpose to make themselves look better, sometimes it's just an honest mistake. Biden and Harris are pretty much the average politician when it comes such matters. Trump on the other hand, could give Lucifer, the Devil, a run for his money on the total number of lies told, if there was such a competition. And Lucifer has been lying since the beginning of time.. where as Trump has only had what.. 8 decades.. Of course, one could argue that Trump is the Devil.. aka Lucifer.
