I'd prefer to see a drop spending and surplus before cuts. I hope less money means less wars but Israel and the F4-whateverthefuck aren't a good sign.

Right, but ignoring your preference in order of operations

1. Is extending the tax cuts a good idea given the current state of things.

2. If tax cuts are not extended, do you considering that robbing the rich?

1 no

Senate Budget proposal raises debt limit by $5Trillion, and authorizes an additional $1.5Trillion in tax cuts over the next 10 years. We will have to see what the final score on these bills, because again, the GOP refuses to actually outline spending cuts, just assumes Trillions in cuts will be made somewhere. There is a decent chance this bill could cost $7trillion over the next 10 years.

Paxton/Cornyn for 2026 senate primary in tx. So clearly Trump wants Paxton to win, cornyn i think is like number 2 republican in the senate? God help us, Paxton has a real sketch backstory here. He gave mistress a job etc I think. He probably will end up winning

4/9/2025 3:44:51 AM

Yes, probably. Because Texas.

4/9/2025 4:44:33 AM

All bets are off if this dude beats Cornyn

4/9/2025 4:53:54 AM

Because you believe there is actually a chance for someone to beat Paxton in the general election?

Remember now, this is Texas. Perhaps I misunderstand.

Overall, it's a third world mindset taking over our country. Supporting guys like El Salvador, rooting everything around fear of other cultures (ironically those cultures tend to be more in favor of those measures), "crime", etc. The institutions around the Republican party (CPAC, Heritage) are all infiltrated by this, they're all rejects from mainstream intellectualism and this is their revenge.

When you think about it that way, it's no wonder that Trump 2.0 was a huge turn around with lots of immigrant groups, poor whites, etc. Ironically as much as these guys complain about immigrants, they're something that's gonna prevent immigrants from adopting a more American mindset on things since they're third worlders themselves
defund higher education, defund media, publicly insult judges - a bad example to set for new people in the country who are used to seeing that from wherever they came from

It’s a little hard to follow but it’s looking like some of the influencers in yarvins orbit are admitting theyre being controlled by Nazis, and even Yarvin chimes in and tells them not to lose faith and embrace that democracy is dead.

Getting really weird though… stems from whether trump should openly defy constitution. But they also seem to think of themselves as revolutionary founding fathers birthing a new nation.

Even if you’re a “taxation is theft” dipshit, it’s not possible to rationalize this budget bill. It’s fiscal sabotage.

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-tax-cuts-will-cost-americans-rcna208852

Quote :

"Over the past decade, Washington has enacted President Donald Trump’s $1.5 trillion Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), a bipartisan $1.7 trillion pandemic-response CARES Act and President Joe Biden’s $1.8 trillion American Rescue Plan. Yet the cost of the House-passed Republican tax cut will likely exceed all three of these expensive laws — combined. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) officially scores the GOP tax cuts included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act as costing $3.8 trillion over the next decade. But the tab rises to $5.3 trillion when removing the deceptive expiration dates included to cover up the bill’s exorbitant long-term cost. Add in the additional tax savings added at the last minute to win more Republican votes, as well as the resulting interest costs, and the true 10-year tax cut cost likely approaches $6.5 trillion. The House bill would offset just $1.3 trillion with savings from programs such as Medicaid, SNAP and student loans — and the Senate is likely to strip many of those offsets."

If our treasuries continue to trade at the same rate as Greece, I think you could see that 10 year cost climb even higher.
