    GOP options for Americans:

    1. Starve, quite literally.
    2. Die from preventable diseases.
    3. Concentration camp.

    Voters: you know, he has a point.

    The elected representatives of the American people rejected the GOP budget. They are rejecting the will of the American people by refusing to change the budget to something that is acceptable.

    This is conservatism. Torture people until they comply.

      well also they stuck a lot of non-budget things into the budget…
      for example, non of the administration being able to be held in contempt for disobeying a court order, courts not being able to make nationwide injunctions on administrative illegal actions… and of course deleting healthcare for millions of people….
      as of course, the USDA already has emergency funds set aside for exactly this scenario, they’re refusing to pay food stamps with the money they already have… the only thing holding it up is trump & cronies

      Correct. He did not directly say those exact words. He’s said that this isn’t a fight we should be having now because the subsidies don’t run out until the end of the year. Nevermind that now is when Democrats have any kind of leverage and the microsecond the government is funded Mike Johnson has literally zero incentive to cooperate with them at all.

    Damn, having to label this as satire because common sense is an abstract notion of the past exacerbated by the deterioration of mental health.
