“And they have the audacity to try to brand this as Christian. What does that word even mean to them? Wearing a necklace?” AOC added

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) again slammed Republicans for supporting Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill as the initiative gets closer to passing in the Lower House.

The lawmaker wrote the post while responding to an article by the New York Times, which detailed that a “conga line of angsty Republican lawmakers filed through the West Wing on Wednesday, hemming and hawing about the” bill only to walk out with “signed merchandise, photos in the Oval Office and, by some accounts, a newfound appreciation for the bill.”

      Yeah. I’m not shocked or anything, but there’s a very nonzero chance that I’ll be vomiting blood on the floor of my kitchen in the coming years until I exsanguinate.

      At least I won’t be a drain on the taxpayers anymore. Thanks, abstainers, for saving a poor wretch like me the immense burden of continuing life.

      Our state reps response to losing healthcare was “we’re all going to die someday” with a fucking smirk.

        Kamala all the way. And I encouraged all my friends and family to do the same.
