17 million people just lost health care.
18 million kids just lost school meals.
3 million Americans just lost food assistance.
And $3.5 trillion was added to the deficit.
All for a tax cut for Trump’s billionaire donors.
The ultimate betrayal.
I am all for cutting gov costs, then and now. I'm even more for efficiency
I would have a plan. Ready Fire Aim is not a plan.
Cutting programs without knowing if they would have saved taxpayers more than they cost, or saved lives, is a mistake
Tariffs, cutting programs, agencies and employees ALL AT ONCE, without doing an analysis of the impact on city, towns and states they impact, is going to backfire big time
Some cities have 9 pct or more of their employment as federal workers. Colleges losing millions in funding. Gov contractors and grant recipients having to close their businesses and lay off everyone.
Repeated in city after city. Town after town
What do you think the economic impact on their tax base is ? What do you think happens to home values ? What services will they have to end ?
What about the local businesses ? How many people will lose their jobs and homes because this was done ALL AT ONCE
Cut federal government bloat in an organized fashion and it's great.
Ready Fire Aim and the uncertainty it creates is a huge mistake
@elonmusk Hey Musk, why don’t you cut the health plans and lifetime retirement plans for the US Senators and Representatives. How many millions (or billions) could this save?
OUR VIEW: To best serve the public, law enforcement agencies should not enact records request fees https://t.co/Q9bwIyCIhs
Once again, the poor are being discriminated against. And the well-off, just pay the fee. Ohio, please wake up and stop the oligarchs!
Today was a difficult decision for me. As a twice-Trump voter and lifelong R, I've wrestled with the idea of voting for Trump, especially after his post-election conduct in 2020. His lack of remorse, lies, conduct during the primaries, and lack of concrete policy proposals left me no choice but to vote for VP Harris. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Sore Loser
With three weeks to go until Election Day, Donald J. Trump stands a reasonable chance of becoming the 47th President of the United States. Despite assassination attempts, impeachments, special counsels, felony convictions and hundreds of millions in civil penalties, most polls show his race against V.P. Kamala Harris is too close to call.
The first time he ran for president in 2016, he was coming off the last season of Celebrity Apprentice. I had a front row seat as a finalist on that final season and marveled at his audacity with his checkered past to seek the highest office in the land. Then, in the blink of an eye, he went from novice to formidable challenger to victorious over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
As President he was a loyal friend, who allowed regular access. My resulting coverage gave him the benefit of most doubts. His presidency was underrated. Throughout his first big scandal in office, the 2017-2019 Mueller Investigation into allegations Trump conspired with Russia to undermine our political process, I stuck with him, deeply suspicious of constant efforts to undermine his Administration.
The last time President Trump and I spoke was Friday, November 13, 2020, when he called me at home. It was ten days after his narrow lost to Joe Biden. He was calling to get my take on the controversies surrounding the election, which appeared to have been decided by a handful of votes in several states. I asked him what he would do if the vote count remained against him. As I reported on Fox News that same morning, Friday the 13th, he told me he was a reasonable man and would do the right thing if that time came.
It never did. Instead, President Trump embarked on an increasingly menacing campaign to discredit the 2020 election. With a motley supporting cast of increasingly fringe characters, he careened from one bizarre theory to the next, offering no meaningful proof, that he had been robbed by the Democrats.
None exists. If you are a Republican, Donald Trump has made a liar of you. He has coaxed and intimidated tens of millions into pretending he was reelected in 2020, and that the election was stolen.
In furtherance of that Big Lie, on January 6, 2021, Trump incited and unleashed the violent attack on the center of democracy, the U.S. Capitol for which he was Impeached. As his followers trashed that sacred space, he was on the phone urging Vice President Mike Pence essentially to overturn the will of the American people. Pence refused to put Trump ahead of the Constitution. Trump stabbed the Constitution in the back.
Maybe you are inclined to vote for the former president anyway, because he says he will cut your taxes or build the border wall or pull out of NATO or put tariffs on China. However, you justify voting for Trump, adopting his big lie about the stolen election makes you a liar.
Better to admit he lost last time but that you don’t care because a Harris presidency would be a disaster, or you admire his defiance in the face of an assassin’s bullet. Just don’t pretend that he got robbed in 2020. That is a lie. Former President Trump is a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the Constitution. That is why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th President.
Wow. Karl Rove just wrote this in the Wall Street Journal, “There’s no putting lipstick on this pig. Mr. Trump was crushed by a woman he previously dismissed as ‘dumb as a rock.’ Which raises the question: What does that make him?” Absolutely true & a worthy question to ask.
BREAKING: looks like Special Counsel Jack smith is planning to indict in September over 200 GOP members of congress who assisted Trump in conspiring “to overturn the presidential election and overthrow the government.”
BREAKING NEWS: i guess @realdonaldtrump thought @isaachayes3 was playing around. The Isaac Hayes Estate and their attorney @jameswalkerjresq have served Trump and he must show up in court in 10 days regarding the unauthorized use of Hayes’ music. They are seeking at least $3 million. We’ll have more details Monday on #RolandMartinUnfiltered on the @blackstarnetwork.
