House Republicans unveiled a budget blueprint proposing trillions in spending cuts over 10 years, targeting steep reductions to Medicaid and food assistance programs. The plan seeks $2 trillion in Medicaid cuts and $800 billion from SNAP. It also calls for establishing a commission to propose changes to Social Security and Medicare. Democrats criticized the proposal as pushing "cruel cuts" that will hurt access to healthcare and raise costs for many. If enacted, the budget would slash nearly $5 trillion from discretionary spending and $9 trillion from mandatory programs over a decade. However, the proposal is unlikely to become law given Democratic control of the Senate. The resolution indicates Republicans remain committed to large cuts across many public services and low-income programs.

Republicans can go fuck themselves, how about that?

I remember watching this a while back expecting it to end up being a video of him putting the dildo "in" but just using camera angles or some similar method to make it appear like he was doing it, but nope. He unequivocally stuck a dildo up his ass because somehow that means he doesn't hate gay people. It honestly baffles me to try and understand how that makes logical sense to him

They technically are, since Republican states keep voting for these guys
