Trump’s budget bill is a disaster for public health.

It’s the biggest cut to health care in history.

12 million people will lose health insurance.

Hundreds of hospitals will close, and so many more will be overcrowded.

1 in 4 nursing homes will close, 1 in 2 will cut staff.

Millions more families won’t have enough food.

@luckytran but… some republicans will get richer. And half of the population of the US voted for a republican president. They wanted the rich to get richer.

Edit:
I should have chosen my words more carefully. A bit more than half of the people who voted, voted for Trump.

Wrong! It wasn't "half of the population". The electorate and the population are *two different things*. Really, look it up.

@LevZadov @luckytran didn’t half of the voters vote for Trump?
Show threadSashinJul 1

@wiekkie70 @LevZadov @luckytran That's not how the voting system works.

Not everyone votes in the first place, many people affected weren't allowed to vote, there was a lot of mischief with people's names being taken off ballots.

Also Elon has said that without him Trump wouldn't have won, Trump has said that the election was rigged (in his favour) more than once.

Only direct democracy even *is* democracy. Anything less is a fraud and a sham.

(1.) We don't know if the published results were honest.

(2.) Half of the voters is *not* half of the population.

@LevZadov @luckytran right. I should have been more thorough with my choice of words.

@wiekkie70 this is still incorrect, Trump did not even get 50% of the votes that were cast

The GOP does not give a shit who they kill and their bill proves it. Call them what they are — killers.

Woof. 😢

The current state of our elder care is pretty fucking rough to begin with. Awful to consider what's ahead.

@luckytran in bill - working class losses ALL benefits, taxes INCREASE. This makes things MUCH harder on everyone when they are barely surviving. if incomes exceed $0.5 billion, benefits increase, taxes rise to 0% (if not negative). Does anyone consider the destruction of the working class a win for America?

@Nahmia @luckytran and they'll still find a way to blame it on leftists.
Show threadNahmiaJul 1
@bluetea @luckytran it does not matter who gets the blame, the results and problems will still be the same - NO MORE U.S.A. America will start saying "yes, Master" to everyone that we meet, even the smallest, weakest state that exists.

@Nahmia @luckytran well it sort of does matter, because understanding what has caused their problems will directly impact how people vote, and lack of understanding has them voting against their own interests.

@luckytran These are my trinity of our holy God, Trump, our lord and saviour, quotes:

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."

""I love the poorly educated."

"I don't care about you, I just want your vote. I don't care."

Him and his stupid supporters can ham it up all they want as being "just jokes." Problem is -- they're not. These will be consistently relevant for the (at least) near 4 years.

@luckytran Say what you want about Donald Trump, but he knew his voter base from the beginning.

(I'm sorry if the satirical tone in nature is offensive, but I feel I need it to keep me at least somewhat sane.)

@luckytran But billionaires will sleep better tonight, right?

That's the most important thing in the world: Feed the biggest ape and give him all the bananas. The other apes can then eat his poop and try to find some grapes in it, maybe. Or not.

As the great philosopher Joni Ernst once said: "We all are going to die, - and, you, I hope you vanish even faster."

I would not be one bit surprised if he does the same things as he did previously with farmers and rescues red state hospitals. Blue states on the other hand will be on their own.

@luckytran what trump is doing is shooting himself and the entire nation in the foot repeatedly for no reason and the rule of thumb when dealing with fascists is to not try to find logic where there's none. yes, it literally just doesnt make any sense

A shameless move by a guy that cares only about one thing, and that is himself.

It is like you tell 12 million people to just die...

May he get what he deserves...
