Lee might joke about assassinations, but he's going to go down and can kiss reelection goodbye if he votes for this bill. Trump is not going to be around to assure victory for him in 2028. This public land sale that Lee tried to shove through, showed how many people cannot stand him, and that is music to my ears! I will reach out to both of my Senators once again, but if they vote for this bill, their political careers are essentially over!

Well done, you. See, I'm two time zones away and figured Lee was fairly popular in Utah. I'd like to see him pursue a different career, anything but politics.

If I have anything to say about it Susan, he will not get reelected! And I want him as far away from politics as I can possibly get him!! He has lost his morals and his ethics and without that he's nothing but an empty suit just like Trump! We don't need more of that!!! Thank you for your support believe me I need it because I'm in the minority in Utah since I'm a Democrat and this is a ruby red state so thank you! I appreciate it!

I agree with you -- wholeheartedly -- about Mike Lee. He's slipped too far down for redemption and it's time for new blood. I'm from blood-red Missouri (though I live in deep-blue Connecticut now). I feel you. I really do.

This bill is so damaging to the poor and the middle class. The cuts to Medicaid will knock millions off the rolls. And, hidden is the cut to the subsidy for Obamacare. The GOP isn’t discussing that right now. Wake up America. The Dems will have a lot of fire power— hope they use it to their advantage. Swords up!

We're talking Matthew 26:52 swords, right?

So only one Repug Senator is concerned that his state will lose millions in federal dollars from Medicaid -- the rest of them are A-OK with screwing over their constituents. Pathetic and disgusting and typical of those people who care ZERO about average citizens and their struggles to feed, clothe, house and protect their families when they are ill or disabled.

I am listening along as the ugly thing is read and that puts me ahead of the President, the GOP senators, and the vast bulk of everyone who really should have read this puppy before voting on it or pushing it through.

Thanks for providing the link. He and his collaborators -- what do they see as THEIR ending? Trump is old, he doesn't care, chances are he's dead in the next couple of years (praying for much sooner) but the rest of them -- the collaborators -- what do they think it looks like for them in the future as the country topples under the weight of the damage they are perpetrating? I'd really like to find one journalist who would ask them individually, point blank what they see for themselves and their families.

I think they wouldn't answer honestly. They might not even be able to answer honestly.

But it doesn't hurt to put them on the spot and let them know that they are being watched very carefully and what they do with this bill determines their future whether they know it or not, not just ours!

In fact I just wrote another letter to each of my MAGA Senators basically telling them that a "yes" vote for the bill, seals their political future as "NO." If enough people are engaging in that manner then we might see some kind of miracle maybe not a big one but a small one.

You are absolutely right. If they hear from enough people, they have to listen.
