The idea that massive systemic fraud is being perpetrated by medicaid and food aid recipients is going to end up like all the Trump voting fed workers who are getting canned going "Yes absolutely many people need to be fired for efficiency but I didn't know they were talking about MEEEEEE!"

I am just counting the days until the Trump voters getting food benefits are told at the supermarket they can no longer purchase sugary foods and energy drinks.
Well, I'm not gonna turn down the tax cuts! Thanks GOP voters!
Assuming it stays in I pay about $20k/year in state and local tax so this would put an extra ~$2k or so a year in my pocket as compared to current law. (I live in a cooperative building so I don't pay property tax directly)I am looking forward to the increased SALT deduction limit.
However I am concerned about the financing of these tax cuts via deficit spending.

I absolutely do not need the money so basically Republicans are lining my pockets with money that would have been used to treat sick poor people. Pretty gross.

Yeah but the cult is maybe 30% of America so it's nuts that his approval ratings haven't hit that number yet. Still a lot of people stubborn about admitting they fucked up voting for Hitler.They haven’t felt the pain yet. And yet, many if not most in the cult will never be swayed.
Trump claims white farmers were buried on the roadside, one after the other, subject to fast moving automobiles rushing by.Watch world leaders just start avoiding him, declining meetings and phoning it in.
Yes, it was definitely done to punish political enemies, which was apparently not more of a scandal for some baffling reason.I know the SALT limit was put in place to specifically target Blue States by Republicans. Especially when they didn't put inflation adjustment into the SALT limit.
I would rather have had all of Trump's tax cuts from his 1st term expire, but that is just me.
When you can convince white people they're special because of their skin color you can rape them good as long as you fuck the brown people harder. Story of America for the last 400 years.Broke MAGA voters have pinned me down to the floor and are forcibly stuffing money I don't need into my pockets so that they can have less healthcare. It's incomprehensible but it's happening.

Glad CNN and other major media outlets nonstop discussing Tapper's book are focusing on the real issue of the former president instead of the current, senile president.

Big RUSSIAN onesTapper can eat a giant bag of dicks.
Anyone still going on about Joe Biden might as well just call themselves Fox News.The liberal media is at it again!
This whole thing is so stupid - nobody is voting in 2026 or 2028 (assuming we can still vote) based on if someone didn't talk enough about Joe Biden's age or whatever. Nobody.
Even worse, I can't help but notice that while the media is furiously going around trying to make Democrats do some sort of mea culpa for covering up Biden's issues as far as I can tell no one is going around asking Republicans to do some sort of mea culpa for spending years lying about Trump's attempt at a coup. Seems slightly more important!
I actually don't have a problem with his book; and do not understand the hostility towards him. Having said that I would like a more points on Trump administration illegal behavior - of course it has gotten so bad it is hard to decide what to cover first.Carl Quintanilla (@carlquintanilla.bsky.social)

Part of the problem with the book is the timing: if things were so bad and you knew about them, why sit on it until you have a book? Part of it is, I don't think this is the conversation to be pushing when (insert everything Trump is doing). And part of it is just some of the stupidity in the reporting/framing, like the suggestion that the president would need a wheelchair if he got hurt - like no shit, that happens to older people all the time, and it's also why there is a backup president in the form of the vice president. There also didn't seem to be any strong indication that he was losing it to the degree that this book is pushing.I actually don't have a problem with his book; and do not understand the hostility towards him.

Yes. Just more illegal actions. And they also have canceled students GRFPs if they were going to attend Harvard (GRFP = graduate research fellowship program; very prestigious funding to win if you're a graduate student, and it follows the student). Just complete malice from the administration, who are mafia-style trying to send a message to more tuition-dependent universities to get in line. And also just totally screwing American soft power and future economic output for no reason (scientific funding and training is not something you can just flip on and off).Btw you all read their attempt to block all foreign students from Harvard including those currently enrolled.

It may seem like this but he explained that people weren't willing to talk to him till after the election et all. So it took him 6 months to do the research, write the book and have it published....
