    That’s bad enough, but the Republicans continue down the path of their corruption of language and the dumbing down of America.

    Every time I hear them praise this bill, it sounds like baby-talk: “Big beautiful bill”. JFC.

      I know… I saw a photo from a while back with Mike Johnson at a lectern that had a “Big Beautiful Bill” logo on it.

      The fact that, in some official capacity, that’s the actual name of this bill makes me want to trepan myself.

        Yes, this. So much this. It’s like watching WH press secretary Barbie stand there and brazenly lie about nearly everything with a big stupid smile on her face.

        Nauseating.

      Every horrible bill has an optimistic happy sounding name that goes well with baby talk. The happier baby talk it is, the worst it will be.

      One will know the end is near when they pass “funsies time” . Seriously, I’m headed for the hills if I hear that

        Yeah, IIRC, the same asshole party called one of their bills “Clear Skies Act” and of course, being conservatives, it was not about that.

        Same thing for the PATRIOT Act.

        Orwellian baby talk.

          lol I remember the patriot act; forgotten battles… I had so many issues with stuff going on at that time and was pretty naive then too. I think one of the things that made me realize how messed up things were, were the amazing reactions to 9-11 and similar. I was just stunned
