US Senate holds marathon vote on Trump's 'big beautiful bill'

Date: 7/1/2025 Original Source: BBC (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czjkkdyplymo)

TONY SAYS:

So, listen to this horseshit. The Senate, right? These clowns in Washington, they’re locked in a goddamn marathon over this budget bill. A budget bill, imagine that. Like it’s some kinda prizefight, only instead of gloves, they’re using amendments and backroom deals, capisce? This whole thing’s called the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which is rich, considering what a mess it is. Sounds like something Paulie Walnuts would cook up.

It’s all about tax breaks – for the rich, naturally. These Republicans, they’re more split than a cheap pair of loafers. Half want to slash welfare programs – you know, the kind that help the schmucks who can’t even afford a decent loaf of bread – to pay for these tax breaks. The other half? They're probably just figuring out how to skim off the top themselves. It’s a circus, I tell ya. A three-ring circus run by a bunch of clowns.

And then there’s Musk, that Elon guy. This prick, he’s been running his mouth again. Remember that time I told you about that guy who bought a new car? Well, forget about it. This guy is worse. He’s calling the whole thing “insane.” Like he’s some kinda genius. Honestly, he's more of an annoying gnat than a genius. The guy’s got more money than God, and he’s still complaining. Maybe he should try managing a garbage disposal business for a few years and see how he likes things.

They’re trying to ram this thing through by the Fourth of July. Like it’s some kinda fireworks display. Except instead of pretty lights, it’s gonna be a financial explosion that'll leave us all in the dark. The House already passed their version – by a single vote! Can you believe that shit? One vote away from utter chaos. That’s how close we are to the whole thing blowing up in their faces.

This "vote-a-rama" thing they’re doing? Twenty hours of debating? Sounds like a freakin’ hostage situation. These guys are gonna be up all night, haggling and backstabbing each other – probably sneaking out for some late-night pizza and a couple of broads in the backroom somewhere.

The national debt? Thirty-six trillion dollars. Thirty-six trillion! That’s more dough than I’ve ever seen in my entire life! And this bill? It's gonna add another 3.3 trillion to that. It's enough to make your head spin. It’s enough to bury a whole lotta guys. Seriously, these guys are burying themselves alive, little by little.

And Trump? He’s blaming Musk. Says the Department of Government Efficiency, whatever the hell that is, should look into cutting the subsidies Tesla's getting. He says Musk got more subsidies than any human being in history. "Without subsidies," Trump says, "Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa.” Like Trump himself hasn't taken a few handouts in his time. The pot calling the kettle black, right?

So, yeah, the Senate's in a frenzy, all these amendments flying around like goddamn pigeons. They’re arguing in private, hiding from the press like a bunch of guilty rats. The whole thing is a goddamn mess, a colossal, breathtaking mess. And you know what the worst part is? This is just another day in the life of the United States government. Makes you wanna take a long vacation, you know? Maybe to a nice, quiet place… far, far away from all this. A place where nobody knows your name. You get what I'm sayin'?
