Congratulations America, Trump's Big Beautiful Bill Passes The House

[feelosofer]

This video mentions something 'hidden' in the bill, and I tried to find the article he quotes Robert Reich from. I could only find an article on MSN/Alternet, with some other mentions in comments on a The Daily Show clip?

shytty website... I can't even select the text properly...


Has there been any wider discussion of this? Because it seems pretty fukking serious. Or do your newscasters just plug books now?

The media is essentially between a rock and a hard place because the FCC chair is a Trump loyalist who weaponizes what should be a relatively neutral entity.

Plus Trump can sue the stations and most stations will settle as opposed to going to court and battling it out. So in doing this Donald Trump has essentially control of the media narratives.

The country is being looted.

This is some stuff you expect to see in Eastern Euro oligarch countries or African dictatorships.


It's fascinating when it happens here. I hope hashtag-gang will finally understand why people "flee" their countries. There was no such thing as going back and fighting when you have no say whatsoever in the corruption that happens in your country.


We are witnessing this right now in America as our president and his cronies blatantly enrich themselves with half a billion dollar jets and billion government contracts for themselves while stealing from the public. Infrastructure, healthcare, and education be damned.


And again the mirrors between what's happening now and what happens in third world countries is mind-boggling. So now if you go to court and try to sue, the judges have been packed with loyalists turning the rule of law into toilet paper. If you go to the streets and protest, there is a nice little, extraterritorial jail cell waiting for you in El Salvador.


All trump and friends need to do To complete the third world playbook is declare martial law when the inevitable protests happen over the summer

They're going to fukk around and create 100 more Luigi's

So much for the 1st Amendment...

Is it not the case that the suits are pretty weak and Trump would most likely lose if they did go to court? So why not handle it? idk it just seems like they capitulated rather easily to me. Or is the FCC chair the greater of the two threats?

Senate can invoke the Byrd rule, and that’s most likely coming out. Republicans don’t have 60 votes. Not too worried about that

Lawsuits still cost the stations a lot of time and money and Trump has entire law firms that will work on his behalf basically pro bono (not that Trump pays them anyway)

The country is being looted.
