Donald Trump argued that a GOP budget bill should help only Republican states instead of benefiting Democratic governors.
“We’re going to make a couple of tweaks,” Trump said of his “one big beautiful bill” during a Tuesday trip to Capitol Hill. “I mean, we don’t want to benefit Democrat governors, although I would do that if it made it better, but they don’t know what they’re doing.”
“We want to help all the states, but we have governors that are from the Democrat [sic] party, let’s say New York, Illinois, big ones, and let’s say Gavin ‘Newscum,’ who’s done a horrible job in California.”
Remind me which states pay all the fucking taxes again?
Remind me again why some states would want to remain in a union if they aren’t benefiting from the partnership
External threats, namely Russia and China who worked hard to create this problem in the first place.
Just asking but what about Kansas that has 3/4 districts support the President and a Dem gov cause our most populated district is the blue one? Do we get the money? Half? Maybe we get the money but we go screw ourselves later?
As soon as tornado season is in full swing … you’ll know your answer
But they won’t know when the Tornados are coming because Trump gutted NOAA
Hey I only start civil wars in OTHER countries.
Sounds like something a CIA chatbot would say … hmmmmmm
In 2023, Tulsa was without power and water in many places for days to weeks. Both the governor and the lieutenant governor were out of town/unreachable. There needed to be a declaration of emergency, but no one knew who was in charge.
The response to what happened in Tulsa was abject neglect; if it had happened in any other area of Oklahoma, it would have mattered. But Tulsa is Black and Blue.
Those of us in Missouri and Kentucky already know
Can we just get to the Civil war part of this timeline already, I’m fucking tired man
The civil war has already started- and the “opposition” seems pretty content to spend the first stages allowing MAGA to set up the battlefields and terms of engagement to their liking.
It never ended. The side that thought it won just stopped fighting.
They didn’t only stop fighting- they tried to find a middle ground. Dipshits.
They have said the next civil war we’ll be bloodless if the left allows it. And it seems the left doesn’t even know they are in a civil war.
It’ll be super fucked if we do. If it’s left vs right you’ll have most of the major cities besieged by rural folk. If it’s state on state, Red and blue states both will have to “secure” vast swaths of their populations or suffer constant sabotage.
This isn’t as easily cut and dry, north vs south, as the US civil war was. Modern civil war would be a hell of destroyed cities and slaughtered or starving innocents. Just look at all current conflicts. You may be tired now, but it’s nothing compared to the reality of what USCWII would be.
If they try to secede this time, we should just let them fucking go.
I mean, let them go with crippled legs and salted earth, but yeah.
I mean… when they stop stealing taxes from the other states and realize how little they produce on their own and how few ports they have on their river ways… They can have a merry brexit all on their own.
Mine pays for a huge number of them. California.
We’re going to vote on whether we want to seriously pursue succeeding from the US in 2028. If this shit doesn’t stop, I imagine things will slowly fall apart in this country.
California recently (this year, I believe) became the fourth largest GDP in the world, previously the fifth.

I’m down for this.
2028 is a long way away.
He’s saying he wants to make that imbalanced dynamic worse than he did last time. It’s a comically nihilistic strategy - or at least, it would be, if I didn’t live in one of the bluest states in the damn country
What would it take for those states to stop collecting Federal income taxes?
A complete restructuring of our educational system at the moment. Right now there’s so many title one schools per state, which receives funding for additional educational assistance for students with low test scores. Money to hire in class para educators and teacher assistance, hell some of the schools in my state, even get money so that we can provide breakfast and lunch for kids who can’t afford it.
I don’t have hard concrete numbers right now, but the last time I checked Florida was receiving billions of dollars in student money that basically amounted to $2000 per kid in public schools 
Didn’t the DoE get axed? You still think that money is a sure thing?
Oh. Sorry. i misread. I thought he was asking what it would take for states to not “take” federal tax money from the Feds.
Mississippi and Arkansas.
The state that contributed the most taxes also elected Gavin Newsom and houses Elon Musk / Peter Thiel.
They are getting what they deserve.
California voted to keep prison slavery in place. Our entire country is the sick man of the Americas.
Uh…
Muskovite’s primary residence is Boca Chica, Texas. (Much to my chagrin…) 🤷♂️
It’s amusing to me that progressive talking points are the exact same as right wing ones.
Nope, I downvoted you both.

Fair.
Paraphrasing a local comedian
“The left knows something’s wrong, the far right knows something’s wrong, the problem is that if you’re on the left and your talk to someone from the far right they’ll tell you “The elite are controlling us!” and yeah… “The government is hiding things from us!” and yeah again… “Vaccines cause autism!” and… Nope!”
