Alan Lewis<p>IS DONALD TRUMP JUST LYING OR IS THIS CONFABULATION, A CONDITION THAT RESULTS FROM BRAIN DAMAGE?<br>Mastodon Post</p><p>Is your grocery bill going down? The quart of milk I just bought is up 50 cents from my prior purchase. Is your price of gas $1.99? I regularly walk by a filling station. The price was at a recent low of $2.69 and it has since crept up to $2.82.</p><p>Of course the main point here is that Trump plans to starve the poor and those working paycheck to paycheck to bring down grocery prices. First, that wouldn't work as he says. Second, as Erika Jordan would say, Trump sure is comfortable with cruelty.</p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/1225722132239323/?s=single_unit&amp;__cft__[0]=AZWJMps9B6ib_zqw_1sNaXEV7hu1ZJem-Y4FQRwYo7kJPsZM5sNM8EZRVV9xgn8X90n7cojkMDb_WWLSap_0osgCfll29XZ47w5D2UmLwdA2ZVaVx3nhYPt7GitDPzOcsnn-NO3AVM7S7oZxSHtTz-vNF8KoWjt5mK3xfPl0AGYb-EHTnSJjQ-VXRlDCcU0r9_0&amp;__tn__=H-R" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">facebook.com/reel/122572213223</span><span class="invisible">9323/?s=single_unit&amp;__cft__[0]=AZWJMps9B6ib_zqw_1sNaXEV7hu1ZJem-Y4FQRwYo7kJPsZM5sNM8EZRVV9xgn8X90n7cojkMDb_WWLSap_0osgCfll29XZ47w5D2UmLwdA2ZVaVx3nhYPt7GitDPzOcsnn-NO3AVM7S7oZxSHtTz-vNF8KoWjt5mK3xfPl0AGYb-EHTnSJjQ-VXRlDCcU0r9_0&amp;__tn__=H-R</span></a></p><p>Eightysix47</p><p>: <a href="https://c.im/tags/democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democrats</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/donaldtrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>donaldtrump</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/eightysix47" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eightysix47</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/foodprices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foodprices</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/groceryprices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>groceryprices</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/snap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>snap</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/uspolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspolitics</span></a> :</p>
AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Look, I don't want to make excuses for the mainstream media here; when a fascist government is actively trying to murder thousands of its own constituents for a small cadre of uber-rich nazi megadonors, that's a story you have to report in honest language no matter what time of day the mass murder plot is revealed to the world. But by that same measure, the fact that the Republican Party is purposely scheduling committee meetings at one on the morning to avoid public scrutiny and protest, while they plot to kill poor and marginalized people to pay for outrageous tax cuts for the rich, is absolutely a part of that story too. It's almost like they *know* murdering poor people and seniors isn't going to be popular even with their own constituents. </p><p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/house-rules-committee-hearing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/house-ru</span><span class="invisible">les-committee-hearing</span></a></p><p>'What Don't They Want You to Know?' GOP Sets 1 AM Hearing to Advance Disastrous Medicaid Cuts</p><p>"While the House Rules Committee has not responded to reporters' questions about the timing of Wednesday's hearing, critics said it appears to be an attempt to avoid the kinds of protests and public scrutiny that daytime meetings have attracted.</p><p>Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), the ranking member of the rules panel, blasted his Republican colleagues over the dead-of-night hearing time, writing on social media that "they have such contempt for the American people."</p><p>"If Donald Trump's big beautiful tax break for billionaires is so great... why not pass it in primetime?" McGovern asked. "Why jam it through in the middle of the night? What don't they want you to know?"</p><p>Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) added that "if you think you are doing what is right for the American people, you don't consider it in the dead of night."</p><p>Look, I'm not out here to help the Democratic Party improve its image, but it's hard to disagree with anything McGovern and Dingell said here; particularly as the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" keeps getting worse, and more lethal for labor class Americans all the time. These fascist Republican assclowns know that they're voting to kill their own constituents to pay for outrageous tax cuts and gifts to their billionaire donors, they know that if the people actually understood this folks all over the country would be breaking out the torches and pitchforks; the plan here is clearly to rush this monstrous class war budget through the system under the cover of darkness and then pretend they had no idea how the story would end once people start dying.</p><p>Which is why I'd like to highlight Jim McGovern's public statements during that most recent 1 AM hearing; particularly given that I'm not sure how much of the media was even awake for it.</p><p><a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jim-mcgovern-scorches-cynical-gop-move-hate-washington_n_682da4ade4b0c95f733600f1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">huffpost.com/entry/jim-mcgover</span><span class="invisible">n-scorches-cynical-gop-move-hate-washington_n_682da4ade4b0c95f733600f1</span></a></p><p>House Dem Scorches ‘Unbelievably Cynical’ GOP Move As ‘Why People Hate Washington’</p><p>“This is a farce, an outrageous insult to the people of this country, to bring up a 1,000-page bill at 1 o’clock in the morning,” McGovern said in the hearing. “A bill that’s still being written, by the way, by Republicans, as we speak, in a backroom somewhere, for God’s sake.”</p><p>The bill is central to Trump’s domestic agenda: It would extend tax cuts he signed into law in 2017 that are set to expire at the end of this year, and pump hundreds of billions of dollars into his mass deportation campaign and newly announced “Golden Dome” missile defense system.</p><p>The legislation would offset those tax cuts and expenditures by pushing millions of Americans off Medicaid, however, and by curbing eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which helps about 42 million people buy food each month.</p><p>“And then to try to jam it through Congress in the middle of the night when nobody is watching is just unbelievably cynical,” McGovern, the ranking Democrat on the House Rules Committee, said Wednesday. “This is why people hate Washington.”</p><p>Plainly speaking, McGovern is absolutely right; which is why it's pretty disturbing that his remarks aren't all over the front pages of every media outlet in America. Furthermore, McGovern's analysis of what the bill actually does is a fair site better than anything you'll hear on CNN or MSNBC as well.</p><p>"McGovern on Wednesday called the legislation “a scam” to punish working and middle-class Americans, asking Republican supporters during the hearing why they chose a career in public service “just to rip away” their constituents’ “health care and food assistance and security.”</p><p>“And let me say this to every Republican member who votes for this,” McGovern added.</p><p>“You own it,” he continued. “You own it. You own every hospital that closes, every child that goes to bed hungry, every senior who loses care, and every American family forced to choose between groceries and rent, between their heating bill and their child care.”</p><p>Of course, even McGovern didn't use the word "murder" but I guess it doesn't count till healthcare CEOs are dying.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RepublicanParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RepublicanParty</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Austerity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Austerity</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ClassWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassWar</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Theft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Theft</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Murder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Murder</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Medicaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicaid</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Medicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicare</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SNAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNAP</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/JimMcGovern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JimMcGovern</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MikeJohnson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MikeJohnson</span></a></p>
