JD Vance says millions losing health insurance is 'immaterial'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Republicans barely got the votes on Tuesday to pass the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” Act—which could lead to roughly 17 million people losing their health insurance, cause millions more to have their food stamps yanked away, and cause energy prices to skyrocket.

Vice President JD Vance sought to get GOPers on board by saying that all of those negative things are just "immaterial" "minutiae" compared to the money the bill provides to help Republicans deport immigrants.

"The thing that will bankrupt this country more than any other policy is flooding the country with illegal immigration and then giving those migrants generous benefits. The OBBB fixes this problem. And therefore it must pass," Vance wrote in a post on X. "Everything else—the [Congressional Budget Office] score, the proper baseline, the minutiae of the Medicaid policy—is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions."

Not only is Vance's statement absurd as he claims that actively harming the poorest among us is not important, but his statement is also false.

Another gang planker. Now that he has his he wants to pull up the gang plank behind him.

1. That's a "let them eat cake" moment

but lots deadlier.

[newdeal2]

2. A dummy and a dictator

I can see why the tech billionaires groomed him.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

3. They don't care about the suffering of the people who lose benefits

I shouldn't be surprised, though, as they don't even see immigrants as human. Repubs are evil bastards.

[ornotna]

4. The real Hillbilly elegy

It’s pathetic they think so little of their fellow Americans.

[Norrrm]

28. Many of the 'hillblllies' will lose benefits. He is above that, now.

[Johonny]

5. The 8 billion for immigration, more inportant than 3 trillion

Of spending and cuts in the rest of the bill.


If that was true, why not just fund the 8 billion to immigration? I mean, why waste the fucking time trading bad policies. The whole concept is so fucking insulting and stupid that fuck JD Vance is the only proper response.

[Captain Zero]

33. Really why not fund the immigation 8b with less tax cuts for the rich

Although I think the immigration 8b is really to establish a de facto secret political police.

[Dave says]

34. ICE gets $31b, but point made

[Ocelot II]

6. What *flood* of illegal immigration? There isn't one, never has been.

Where is this nonsense coming from? There are known to be about 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US, most of whom live quietly, have jobs, don't commit crimes, contribute to the economy (and aren't entitled to government benefits), and will be greatly missed when they are no longer providing their cheap labor to farms, hotels, restaurants and construction businesses. 11 million undocumented people with jobs vs. 17 million+ documented people without health care or food? Some trade-off.

Vance is one evil SOB.

[not fooled]

16. Shocking that GQPee thinks this lie will work

How stupid and/or ignorant do you have to be to believe the lie vance is peddling???

Geez, so much of this country is stupid and getting stupider.

[Dave says]

35. Not just Vance, they all are evil SOBs

We are overtaken by psychopaths.

[BoRaGard]

7. "They're all going to die anyway. So screw 'em" - GOP

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. 'Immigrants eating pets in Springfield' will bankrupt the country? Nah. . . . nt

[Passages]

9. That would make a hell of a billboard and then some.

That title for a town hall would attract his base. Showcase all the concerns he and Trump have coming their way.

[GoodRaisin]

10. Vance is pure evil.

[Midnight Writer]

11. A single billionaire is potentially more dangerous than 10 million poor immigrants.

We're seeing how unbridled capitalism can destroy the values of an entire nation.

The filthy rich want it all, and they will never be satisfied.

Religious values, moral values, human values? They are all up for sale to those rich enough to buy them.

And, unfortunately, we have plenty of people willing to sell their values for money, power, self-aggrandizement.

"No man can serve two masters...You cannot serve both God and Mammon."

Mammon is the demon of greed, great wealth and avarice. We need to destroy this demon's hold on our nation.

[gfarber]

12. Smugness

A senator schemed with great skill,
To push through his “Beautiful” bill.
Though folks couldn't bear,
He just didn’t care—
Deportation cash gave him a thrill.

Young Vance said, “Now don’t sweat the pain—
The poor’s loss is GOP gain!”
While folks lost their aid,
He smugly downplayed,
Then cheered as the cruel bill passed plain.

J.D. Vance gave a smirk and a shrug,
As the poor got swept under the rug.
“Deporting’s the key,
Forget Medicaid!” said he,
While selling a lie with a smug little tug.

13. Wow, cant even call him HUMAN.👹

15. Please don't insult snakes, some of which are useful and beautiful,

not to mention sacred in many belief systems.

[Figarosmom]

29. Im not its a worm.

But even worms have very good uses. They are good fir catching fish to eat and they loosen the soil in our gardens so plants can grow better. So I will change it to an 👹 ogre.

[niyad]

30. You are quite correct, worms are very useful in so many ways.

The ogre is much more accurate.

[niyad]

14. May he, and all his enablers, supporters, and handlers, receive

everything they deserve.

[IcyPeas]

17. And this jerk was eager to meet the pope.

[Marthe48]

19. He'll meet the devil

Sooner than he'll meet the Pope again.

[Marthe48]

18. How many times was vance pantsed?

He grew up in a part of the country where it was a matter of 5 minutes to go from a middle class neighborhood to poverty. He'd have to be blind to miss the suffering. If he got stuffed into a locker, or got so scared he peed his pants, then this cruelty comes from fear. I want leaders who are courageous in spite, or because, of their experience. If he watched the scene in Gone with the Wind when Scarlet O'Hara vows that 'as God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again' and thinks deprivation is acceptable for millions of people, he is a greedy degenerate who has no place in deciding our needs.

[Javaman]

20. the sociopathy of self righteousness.

fuck him.

[hadEnuf]

21. This is turning into ethnic cleansing real fast.

And total abandonment of the poor and needy.

The ethnic people can go to the camps where the psychos can have fun with them, then they can just disappear. Somewhere.

The poor and needy can fend for themselves in shanty towns where they belong or die in the streets.

There are no real reasons to do this, these groups just present the easiest targets. Where does it go after this?

[Skittles]

23. just a matter of time before they get to Trump critics

anyone who thinks Gatortraz is meant just for immigrants is fooling themselves

[hadEnuf]

24. Trump said he would like to see one in every state eventually.

To house all of those illegals just dropping out of trees everywhere I guess?

This will not end with migrants. Next will be "anti-American" activities, speech or thought, all according to MAGA.

This is serious textbook dictatorship stuff.

[Skittles]

22. sounds so CHRISTIAN

[Diamond_Dog]

26. He cannot utter anything that isn't a lie.

I am beyond exhausted being constantly lied to by these hateful pukes.

[Cha]

27. Fuckhead Vance doesn't work for the American

People.. he and all of them work for Putin.

[Martin Eden]

31. Undocumented immigrant labor is HUGE ECONOMIC PLUS for the American economy

They pay taxes but DO NOT receive many of the benefits of citizenship, while providing essential labor that can't be replaced -- except by giving legal status to these workers.

Of course, ICE has been abducting immigrants regardless of legal status.

JD Vance is a LIAR who DOES NOT CARE about the millions of AMERICAN CITIZENS who will be DEVASTATED by the loss of health insurance and food assistance.

[Aristus]

32. It's like when rich people snootily declare that "we don't talk about money."

Because they have plenty of it...

[Kid Berwyn]

36. Couchhumper also called Trump, and I quote: "Hitler."

Which is true. Therefore, a hypocrite who once said something true can't be a complete idiot.

[peggysue2]

37. J D Vance is irrelevant . . .

As a human being.
