The big beautiful bill will be law. Trump has left his mark on history and he couldn't have done without a level of dishonesty and noise so loud the truth means nothing anymore. The republicans wrung their hands and pretended they might actually stay true to their word. Nope. They liked their jobs more than their constituents. I think we can safely say the freedom caucus and their hyper focus on the deficit have all castrated themselves to sing for Trump at a higher pitch. What's that song again?

It's funny that the thing they caved on will be the thing that removes them from office. Yes, they were smart enough to hold implementation until after the mid terms, and that will buy them some time, but then they won't be able to hide.

And let's not forget that this is nearly a trillion dollars that will not be going back into the economy. It is the reverse of a stimulus package.

The lies to cover the lies will be unbearable. They know the truth will devastate them so they will deny, delay, distract, whatsboutism everything and in the end just flat out lie.

They are openly saying there are no cuts to Medicaid.
The law openly states there are more than $600 billion cuts to Medicaid.

Which is it?
