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.”
I don’t think he realizes this isn’t the gotcha he thinks. That means the poverty line between the states that already exists is going to get even worse, because they are taxing the lower income brackets even worse.
President of the unusually selfish.
Lol… this is hilarious. Sadly his morons will believe it.
I live in NC. We have a Dem governor, but the House and Senate are controlled by Republicans. The state has gone to Trump three times. What is his plan with that?
His plan, no matter what he says, is to fuck each and every one of us who isn’t already rich and preferably white.
Woah you look like an immigrant with this statement. Careful about ICE
He’ll double down. Obvs.
Dangle the money over the state and tell residents they can only have it if they remove the Governor.
Or the potus. Seems a much easier choice.
I think the blue states should cut all the funding they provide for the government.
balkanization of the united states plays right into putin’s best interests. how about we just stack conservative bodies until this country stops being so fucking stupid?
It’s too late for that. Everyone is finding the exit for the USD as the reserve currency. That loss of soft power alone is seismic.
it’s never too late for that
Nope, it is. There is no reason anyone should trust the USD as a reserve currency. Even if Trump is impeached, Vance is impeached, and everyone down the line of succession is impeached until you get someone who isn’t MAGA, it’s still too late. It’d just be highlighting how unstable the US political system has become. Nobody wants to keep their reserve money in a system like that.
i think you missed my point
Yeah, better to just sit around and do nothing. It’s not like it could get worse.
Even just CA would absolutely make an impact.
The whole West Coast should secede, and form an alliance with Canada and Mexico. That would surround about 2/3 of the country with enemy territory, and cut America off from the entire west coast shipping lanes. They could charge America exorbitant tariffs to ship goods through the Rockies.
That would be hilarious. Also reminds me of the civil war.
California secession / Calexit would be beautiful. That is how I know it would never happen, even as rest of the US collapses into Gilead.
there is a petition. Sign it.
I love it. “Here’s a petition to betray the country. Any separatists come forward and put your name on this list.”
It will save sooooo much time.
Conservatives betrayed the country when they RE-ELECTED a felon rapist traitor to tank our economy, remove our rights, ignore our Constitution, and sow division amongst Americans.
Us blue states are just tired of giving our money to traitor fuck welfare queens.
My guy, are you familiar with the Declaration of Independence?
(insert wendys meme here)
since you’re too dumb to notice, trump already betrayed the country.
trump already betrayed the country.
That means it’s time to separate the country from Trump.
Far past the time, actually, but it’s never a bad time to get started.
Here is the CalExit website. We got 210,000+ signatures through there, probably a bit more through other means. Hopefully Californians would do the right thing and reach the petition’s requirement. California should R&D the possibility of secession sooner, rather than have many surprises if later forced into a crisis.
If this were to ever happen in my mind it makes the most sense for Oregon and Washington to come with… Though that’s probably too much to ask
Time for blue states to stop paying federal tax, then.
You want Boston to throw another tea party? They’re game.
No taxation without representation motherfucker.
… and cue the facial Equal Protection problems.
He’s a literal traitor.
Americans are just too stupid to see it in anything but hindsight.
Assuming the fascists don’t win and rewrite history, he will be considered a traitor in the history books.
I have been cursed with the foresight of this, sadly.
He is objectively the most prolific traitor in American history, and it isn’t even close. He’s literally worse than ALL other American traitors COMBINED. It’s not even a debate.
Let’s fucking Balkanize already. My blue state has all the nukes and I would love to use them on Trump and his red-state dick sucks.
There isn’t one state that has all the nukes.
I hate that we’re literally funding them to drag us all back to the dark ages since the blue states receive less than they pay in taxes and vice versa with the red.
Terrible idea. That would kill millions and also kill a ton of people that hate Trump. Plus, cut off that area of land for 100s of years. If using nukes weren’t a big deal, they would be used in common skirmishes.
I agree with but every state has blue voters too
The red states don’t have enough blue voters but they do have plenty
And the opposite is also true.
So instead of one shitty country there are several shitty countries?
Let me sure I got this right. Your plan is to take states that don’t like you and teach them to be more independent of the federal government, is that correct?
You think he has a plan?
Perhaps concepts of a plan?
That’s wildly optimistic
That means I don’t have to pay federal taxes for it right?
Divided States of America (DSA)
United Scammers and Assholes
Untied states of America
Blue states cut off those wankers
They’ve been stupid and malicious for too damn long. Let them eat their own shit
Every time he says words I wish I’d never been born.
Wrong perspective. Every time he says words, I wish HE were never born.
It’s true, though, I can’t watch any extended interview with him, my blood pressure can’t take it, and there simply isn’t enough liquor in the house to make it through a hour long interview.
True. But Trump is also an artifact of the times, not specific to the individual Trump. If it weren’t Trump, there’d likely be another Trump. Or maybe not. In any case, he’s a symptom.
