Now that the “Big, Beautiful” Donald Trump House bill has passed by the bare margin of 215-214, it is up to the US Senate and Republican majority to have its role in the process.
This bill is so horrendous, that it is hoped that the Republican Senate will balk at it, but hard to imagine that it can be stopped.
Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Josh Hawley of Missouri all have registered problems with the bill, for different reasons.
To count on these four objectionable legislators to, somehow, save the day, and prevent the horrors of this proposed legislation, causes a sense of despair.
If all four, along with Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Susan Collins of Maine, and were to ally together, it could possibly occur, assuming no Democrat would join the majority.
But that is even assuming that Murkowski and Collins would not disappoint which is no certainty!

Memorial Day is for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
I will be thinking of the three who did not come home with us.
Plus I have a real problem with Trump who was a 3 times draft dodger, and making the comment of America Servicemen honored Graves in France calling them “Stupid and Loser’s…. giving the commencement speech at West Point babbling on about his embraced ignorance with regards to the real world.
Then he wants a Big Military Parade for his birthday.
Wayne, Trump failed to shake the hands of the graduates or even stay more than 15 minutes beyond his speech, spending his time with his grievances, and with attacking Joe Biden and Barack Obama. So lacking in respect or dignity! 🙁
There should be massive gatherings of opposition around the nation against Trump on his birthday, on June 14!
It is horrendous that major cuts for Medicaid and Food Stamps are being made, while wasting millions of dollars on this glorification parade for a criminal felon! 🙁
This long term damage in his travesty of a budget bill is going to take another lifetime to correct…. if ever.
Wayne, Trump is attempting to destroy the last hundred years since the New Deal of FDR, and even earlier, the Progressiver Era of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow WIlson! 🙁
It is as if the 20th century advances are being obliterated, as if they never happened! 🙁
And this includes not just domestic policy, but American commitment to the world and democracy since World War II! 🙁
And he has willing accomplices of traitors to America! 🙁

Good riddance to him!
The Wall Street Journal has come up with a new code word to mock Trump with. It’s called “TACO”, which is code for “Trump Always Chickens Out”, and it refers to the president’s tendency to announce massive tariffs, causing the markets to plunge, only to back off days later, causing them to rise again.
Apparently, Trump is not happy about Wall Street calling him TACO.

Trump’s tax-cut bill includes provision to weaken court powers.
The one-sentence provision in the 1,100-page bill prevents federal courts, including the Supreme Court, from enforcing contempt orders unless the plaintiffs have posted a monetary bond, which rarely happens in cases against the government.
