Congratulations, dipshit [Schumer, not OP], you've done something perfectly counterproductive by (a) making it sound like (presumably) something that's less of a blatant Orwellian farce that turned people against it just because of the name, and (b) creating confusion that makes it harder to organize against it because now there are two different names out there.
I think you're giving Schumer way too much credit in saying changing the bill's name is counterproductive.
Is Trump going to stop calling it the big beautiful bill? Are his minions going to change their branding? Of course not.
Are Democrats and liberals going to stop calling it the big ugly bill or whatever other parody names they use? Of course not.
And once the bill passes, which it will, the name of the bill will mean absolutely nothing.
Changing the bill's name isn't counterproductive. It's just a complete waste of time that lets Schumer - virtue signaling asshat that he is - pretend he's doing something despite not having the guts to fight Trump on anything.
I know him irl. Not personally, not well, but I've interacted with him several times. He is cheap despite being well off. He is not nice unless he thinks you could do something for him. He looks down on people he perceives as beneath him. He has a mean streak. Him making a show of being a good guy but doing nothing in actuality makes sense.
I just kind of assume this of career politicians. How can you sit in there for so long, doing nothing, just taking payout after payout
Those who don't of it, don't get any votes.
Okay, fine: he tried to be counterproductive and still managed to fail at it.
You know what, I can agree with that 😆
also like it clearly didn’t solve anything even optically bc this website is still up https://www.whitehouse.gov/obbb/
