Despicable Republican Budget 2025

The GOP in the House crafted a budget that shreds the safety net that we've been paying into out of every paycheck since I started pumping gas at an Amoco station on Piney Branch road in Takoma Park, Md. circa '69.

Now, I'm close to 70 and the wife is 75 and we're surviving on our SS and the wife's parttime cashiering job at the local Home Despot. 100% disabled since 2019 or so.

At least it covers our modest lifestyle and my solder & vacuum tube habit.

This shitty attempt to shortchange hardworking loyal Americans is not only deplorable, it's simply strong arm robbery. We old boomers have worked our asses off for decades and paid into SS and SDI only to get shafted in our old age ?!? Fuck that noise.

Now, Donnie Trump and his Svengali Leon Musk are openly calling me and mine "parasites" for claiming the benefits we've paid for?

If you voted for the orange cretin?

Thanks and grow the fuck up.

It took a good while before the masses were out in the streets then so too will it be now. Will happen at some point.
They have created a target rich environment for any protesters to coalesce around.

There is so much happening behind the scenes right now dismantling changing our country. We have not seen anything yet I'm afraid.

The protests are already happening but the media isn't/won't cover it. Like with the BLM protests they're lurking like vultures waiting for violence to break out. Just like the BLM protests if there is no violence the Fourth Reich has agents that will create some. This will give the party in power the excuse to "postpone" the next elections. To anyone who thinks or says this can't happen, tell me again how a convicted felon and Russian sympathizer got elected to the presidency.

Call them out I say. Be strong!
Force them to take a stand.

Make a statement to the country, be on every channel with ads stating why. Putting the ones really shutting down the country infrastructure in the spotlight. Make them have to be on defense justifying the cuts tax breaks firings .......

Schumer is and always has been totally Wall Street. Wall Street does not want a shutdown.

Yeah that sux big time, I really don't understand a system that leaves people vulnerable, it lowers quality of life for a large part of the population and negatively effects the society as a whole.

Time to play the game a little bit smarter Dems. Some new young blood is needed.
Give this Cult run GOP some of it's own medicine back. Show the country what a GOP run country looks like and see then if they do.....
