The US House advances Trump's tax bill, but even Republicans are having second thoughts about this budget-busting beast.

The Hunt Begins: Rules Committee Falls

What in the blazing sun is this… 'tax bill'? The House Rules Committee a pathetic little band of humans has pushed forward this… this *thing* they call President Trump's "big beautiful" tax bill. 21 hours of debate? Sounds like a slow agonizing hunt. The final vote came down 8 4 a feeble attempt at resistance. They think this is a victory? *Chuckles in Predator*.

One Big Beautiful Mistake

Speaker Mike Johnson the alpha of this pack has set a deadline for passage like a self imposed trap. No Democrats will join this hunt. A lone wolf Chip Roy refused to vote in the Rules Committee. A sign of discord? Perhaps this bill will bleed… *literally or figuratively who knows*.

White House Blood Sport

The weak ones Roy and Harris were summoned to the White House a desperate attempt to convince them to ignore the gaping hole this bill will rip in their nation's finances. The press secretary chirps about a "productive meeting." Lies! The air is thick with deception. They are trying to save this “One Big Beautiful Bill” but this is one ugly mother…

Market Mayhem: If it bleeds we can kill it

The markets tremble. Fear grips the air. They sense the coming storm of debt. The 30 year Treasury bond yield… a paltry 5.09%. The hunt is on for financial stability but these humans seem determined to make it a bloodbath. If it bleeds we can kill it…or in this case be killed by it…

Amendments: The Ultimate Trophy?

42 pages of amendments. The humans squabble over trinkets moving deadlines and shifting deductions. A small victory for some conservatives with the Medicaid requirements. But the "SALT deduction cap" quadruples? $40,000 for the wealthy elites. *Laughs menacingly*. This is no hunt for equality it’s a massacre of the poor!

Senate Showdown: The Final Battle

The Congressional Budget Office admits the obvious: the rich get richer the poor get poorer. If this 'bill' survives the House it faces the Senate. More rules more votes more… *prey*. Some senators already demand changes. The hunt is far from over. I will be watching...waiting...
