Donald Trump and Republicans are "literally throwing seniors out on the street," according to California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Newsom, a Democratic governor with widely reported sights on the Oval Office, perhaps in 2028, recently sued Fox News for hundreds of millions of dollars.

On Saturday, the California politician lobbed the new allegation at GOP lawmakers.

"NEW: Donald Trump and the GOP are literally throwing seniors out on the street," Newsom claimed. He added that, "1 in 4 nursing homes say they’ll be forced to SHUT DOWN if Trump's Big Beautiful Betrayal becomes law."

1. see the thing is

THE GOP DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK

THEY NEED THAT MONEY FOR THEIR FATCAT DONORS

[Karasu]

2. They don't. But they SHOULD be forced to defend this shit publicly, if we still lived in a remotely sane country,

[Skittles]

3. I honestly do not understand how this shit can happen

how a man who could not pass a basic background check can become "PRESIDENT", and how he is able to force a wildly unpopular UGLY FUCKING BILL on America

it makes America look like CARNIVAL SHOW

[Irish_Dem]

4. Putin and Musk stole the election for Trump.

And there are enough nasty, ugly, violent American MAGA cult members to make it look legit.

Trump can keep pretending he is only doing what the voters want him to do.

Install a dictatorship and ruin democracy.

[Skittles]

6. but the man could NOT pass the background checks I had to get in my IT job

but he is allowed to drop bombs? WTF is going on???

[Irish_Dem]

7. I can't think of any job Trump is qualified to do.

Nor could he pass any background check.
Not even a school crossing guard.

[Skittles]

8. EXACTLY!

WTF is wrong with our government that a guy who literally never conceded a legitimate election AND THEN TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT, has multiple failed businesses, a rape charge and is a multi-felon - how the FUCK is that guy allowed run for PRESIDENT? It makes no sense to me at ALL.

[travelingthrulife]

10. Plus..felons are not allowed to run for President, but our judicial system allowed it.

[Skittles]

22. but that's the thing

NOTHING and NO ONE should be allowed to override NATIONAL SECURITY

[AllaN01Bear]

12. skittles , i have been in a puzzlment exer since election day.

[pandr32]

14. It's not "our government" anymore.

It has been purchased.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. Because of his fellow plutocrats on the Extreme Court

[Skittles]

18. the Supreme Court is an extension of the GOP

America has become one of those nations we used to pity.

and FUCK EVERYONE who voted for him, I DON'T CARE WHAT THEIR FUCKING REASON WAS, THEY HAVE DISGRACED AMERICA.

[TBF]

19. I think your assessment is correct -

and it's going to get worse before it gets better ... maybe more Americans will join us in the streets after they have to move mom or dad into their guest room & care for them 24/7 (and that is the best-case scenario)

[Irish_Dem]

20. I agree, it is going to get worse before it gets better.

I have been saying that for some time.
Americans have to learn things the hard way.

Yes the lucky ones will have family taking care of them.
The rest won't make it.

[BoRaGard]

5. k and r

[Cloudhopper]

9. Perhaps that's what we should be calling this bill

now: "The throw seniors in the street bill'

[AllaN01Bear]

11. they dont give a hoot, hoot ,hoot on who they hurt .

[sakabatou]

13. Since when did repukes give a shit about seniors?

They only care about big donors, not the little guys.

[Wonder Why]

15. In the street! In the street! Uh, wait. I'm a senior. Down with the repug witches and warlocks!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

16. He's not wrong

[EndlessWire]

21. The way I see it

is, when a nursing home needs to get a patient out for nonpayment, they will transfer the patient to an ER for something, and then refuse to take the patient back. They can transfer the burden to the back of a hospital.

I see this bill, in this aspect, as an immediate threat to hospitals, too. But, yeah, some if not most, of the nursing homes rely on medicare/medicaid money to survive. It's not going to be pretty.

[joshdawg]

23. But the richest need their taxes cut.

if needed.

[Bengus81]

24. Those massive cuts will effect rural areas the most. And that's exactly where MAGA morans live
