Lawrence: Trump's budget bill has created a 'legislative suicide pact' for House Republicans - The Last Word - MSNBC



MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell details how House Republicans are hiding debate on a massive tax cut bill that Donald Trump is urging them to vote for “because they know what a betrayal it is to their own campaign promises … apparently not realizing that if Republicans do pass this bill, they will lose the House of Representatives in the next election.” - Aired on 05/20/2025.

They think they have won...

Neonazi loyalists in charge of the military
Crazy loyalists in charge of the DOJ and FBI
Apartheid Clyde and his hackers
They are already arresting judges and threatening opponents with prosecution.

They plan to only allow one party on the ballot.

It does not matter how unpopular things are if the elections are already decided....just look at Putin.
