U.S. Senate Republican leaders expressed confidence Tuesday they’ll be able to tamp down opposition to various elements of the party’s “big, beautiful bill” in time to approve the measure before the Fourth of July, though they acknowledged there’s considerable work left to do.

    No.

    I don’t care, an increase in human suffering is not worthy of celebration.

    And, way to play into their hands; the more people think like you, the more strongly the fascist fucks well believe that their tyranny is justified.

    Eye for eye, until the whole world is blind? Sounds like a damn stupid plan to me…

      Ive tried for years to convince themselves knuckle draggers all while they wish me nothing but the worst for wanting things like universal Healthcare and equality. I smile everytime I see a story like this. Evil people need to feel the consequences of their actions.

        Sounds like they convinced you instead. Because taking pleasure in the misery of others is precisely what they’re all about.

          Taking pleasure in the (self inflicted) suffering of others, but voting for and supporting policy change to fix that suffering seems very different from actively participating in the increase of suffering of others.

          Not everyone has to be as holy as thou to not be evil.

            That’s a pretty damn thin line, and a recipe for hypocrisy while you’re at it.

            No, abandoning your empathy is not gonna lead anywhere good.

                I agree. But abandoning your empathy is a great way to become one of the intolerant ones. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
