Government funding plan collapses as Trump makes new demands days before shutdown
Government funding plan collapses as Trump makes new demands days before shutdown
So Musk was literally like “no, don’t give Democrats (the party I pretended to support for years) any wins, you need to not negotiate” and then congress just rolled with that.
And now they are just gonna do that while they control congress for at least 2 years because Musk has no idea how government is different from him running a business
Yup, pretty much a full blow oligarchy now thanks to Idiot America.

shoutout to republicants who have been trying to kill public education for a generation.
Lets just be candid here. Musk doesn't know how to run a business either.
the only businesses he's been successful at, he's been managed like a toddler.
the majority of his old companies have either imploded and been sold off or he's been ousted from.
That's the point.
Musk already got his NASA contract money for SpaceX, Tesla and so forth. He wants to keep the money despite his rocket programs literally blowing up in everyone's faces
The easiest way to do that is to shutdown the government employees who run NASA, SEC, NHTSA and so forth.

What are you yapping about?
And they did all this in the last 10 years.
Shitting on SpaceX just because Elon's name is attached to it, -trendy as it may be right now- is dismissing the work of the engineers who made all this possible.
And no, I'm not sucking Elon's dick.
In fact, the only reason SpaceX works well is because, allegedly, there's a wall of people shielding the company from Elon's batshit insanity. If it wasn't for them, he would have ran it to the ground already.
I agree. If the republican party controls the white house and both chambers of Congress, they don't need to negotiate with democrats to pass a budget. So there's absolutely no reason to have a government shutdown. Unless you like stiffing government employees, I guess.

This guy knows how to get Elon off
He'll just have everyone in Congress email him the last five bills they wrote and if they aren't long enough he'll fund a challenger.
“My phone was ringing off the hook,” said Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky. “The people who elected us are listening to Elon Musk.” ... Musk, who is heading Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency, warned that “Any member of the House or Senate who votes for this >outrageous spending bill deserves to be voted out in 2 years!”
It’s not an idle threat coming from Musk, the world’s richest man, who helped bankroll Trump’s victory and can easily use his America PAC to make or >break political careers.
“Is this going to be the norm? Is this going to be how we operate?” said Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., putting the blame on Johnson.
I can't help but laughing in fright with this level of schadenfreude and yes Josh "Prances like girl form his own rioters" Hawley, this is how you guys are going to operate because you're shit humans.
WTF did they think was going to happen? 🤦
I'm sure the authoritarian mindset always supports authoritarians because they imagine that THEY will be part of the inner circle.
And they even might be. For a while. Until all the purity tests and purges begin. I'm sure dingalings like Hawley learned sweet fuck-all from historical lessons.
“How could we have possible known?!?”
I swear to god these fucking people are such gargantuan wastes of resources. I hate them with every fibre of my being.

So, the guy who gave everything short of sieg heil to the terrorists on J6, then was on-camera high-tailing it out of harm's way when the terrorists got into the building - that guy is whining about the Republican Party being full of Republicans?
These people, I swear.
Bullshit like this is why I'm not as worried as I was about another Trump Presidency. The man is a senile clusterfuck. Even worse now. Yet they all have to kow-to to him.
I had thought the fascists would be more organized, and they are! But they still have to bend the knee to Trump, who is a clusterfuck. I can't see them doing too much worse than Trump stacking the SCOTUS.
They realize Trump isn't president yet right? Well, to be honest, he should be in prison, but we apparently don't know how to put anybody in prison that isn't poor, black, a woman, or god forbid, all of the above.
I still feel like Dark Brandon should totally invite them over for a “transition dinner” and do a few “official acts” and then explain how trump is a Russian Stooge and a Traitor.
Then resign, let Kamala pardon him and retire off into the sunset.
But he won’t cuz he still thinks it’s then70’s and there’s still decency in politics.
SCOTUS handed Biden a loaded gun, Sotomayor told him where to point it, and all he's going to do is just meekly hand it off to Trump, a man who will not hesitate to use it on all his own
politicalrivals.He might as well be. Americans keep voting for Republicans in the House and Senate. Trump has the RNC by the balls and will have any Republican who goes against his wishes replaced with the next primary and none of those still in office have the balls to risk their gravy train by going against him.
