What Trump offers is less a Budget Proposal and more a Modest Proposal.

Good.
Cuts to health care, Meals on Wheels, science, medical research, the arts, etc, all while Trump burns money every weekend in Florida and every day in NYC. This is some master-level cartoon supervillainy here.
This is the distilled essence of the Republican fetish for NIMBYism.
I’ll believe all this stern talk when I see this budget blocked or at least disfigured by Congress, if that’s possible. Until then, talking is easy.
My question for Republicans: just how small should a government serving over 300 million people be? No, really, how small should a government be that oversees land from sea to shining sea? Apparently not this small! It took less time than I thought it would for the Congressional representatives to realize that Drumpf…
“Nevada has been saying for years: we will not be the nation’s nuclear waste dump.”
Fall of Rome. During my lifetime. Yup!
We have to get rid of all these ruddy fuckers that supported this asshat. And I think the Republican party is irredeemably tarnished by this. We should vote them all out.
Reading “a charred burlap sack filled with bugs” all I could hear in my head was “You’er a mean one, Mr. Trump …” sung to the theme song of the Christmas special the The Grinch, in the beautifully deep sonorous voice of Thurl Ravenscroft. Someone needs to do a parody.
That’s assuming we don’t all shank each other over the last remaining can of dog food from the before-times in the Nuclear Badlands scavenging arena so we can feed our families.
Weird seeing the GOP forced to defend the federal programs as providing important functions in civil society and value for taxpayers, when they have spent the last eight years demonizing the federal government. Do you mean to tell me that most of the “government is broken” rhetoric was just posturing for the ignorant…
When Mulvaney said Meals on Wheels did not show enough results we misunderstood him. The results they want are more dead old and poor people.
In ten years, we’ll be reminiscing about when museums used to be a thing and how artists could get funding for making cool things.
This is why Republicans always get into trouble when they try and cut budgets, simply because most of their base is dependent on government programs (especially Medicare and Social Security). So screaming about wasteful government elects them but once the rubes that voted them in realize they were talking about them…
I’m sure Paul Ryan will finally end up getting those tax cuts for the super wealthy that is literally his only goal in life. Because no one in this country suffers like the billionaires.
Good, I hope the Republicans self-destruct. In the interim, the rest of us need to gear up for the off-year elections, including the midterms in 2018.
Just to make this completely clear, Paul Ryan is a stupid Irish mick who should go back to his own country.
