Are you trying to pass an amendment? They actually had a supermajority for 72 days. Not that they didn’t get anything done, mind you, but the point stands.

Obama had a majority too. The problem is too many members rowing in different directions within the party.

You just need ocular implants!

Maybe we should start a community for trashed teslas? Name ideas?

I would still disavow the brand, because that means Elon gets to cash out anyway.

Good morning! Today is brought to you by our friends at ocular implant world. With their help you can see everyday through rose tinted digital filters! Just a reminder, you are now in debt to the corporation for $42,547,880.46. Would you like to listen to another targeted advertisement for $0.35?

I love this hot take that inclusivity is divisive. Or that anything they don’t like is divisive. And I especially like how people are supposed to care racists are offended by something which goes against their belief system.

Yeah, but how much did he make?

Primary, alternate, contingency, emergency [comms] planning. For the uninitiated.

I learned from the new Dexter show that you have to kill three times to become a serial killer. So, it seems like two is the optimum number here, reducing the number of murderers by one and increasing the number of serial killers by none.

Infinite loop

You’re new here, did you get banned? Welcome!

My style of deal–making is quite simple and straightforward. I aim very high, and then I just keep pushing and pushing to get what I'm [actually] after.

This way, all future cuts will seem reasonable by comparison.

Russia is interested in peace as long as it gets to dictate the terms, and install its own people in the new Russian territory.

Agencies aren’t forced to spend the money in the budget.

This is s good read:

First of all, why are Republicans the only ones finding out what’s even happening in the government? That’s a good question. But set aside the privileged position of Republicans here. How on earth are we in this position where members of Congress, the ones who write the budget, appropriate and assign the money, now have to go hat in hand to beg for changes or even information from the guy who actually seems to be running the government?

I don’t know what you’re asking. DOGE isn’t spending money. The most they have done is allow money to keep getting spent while the employees take a long vacation— i.e., the fork in the road. The rest is them summarily firing people (illegally..), but that doesn’t spend money. Unless you count the lawsuits to follow. Agencies aren’t forced to spend the money in the budget.

Musk is working under presidential executive authority. Basically they are purposefully fucking up the execution.

There are no cracks. If you read the article, this is nothing more than promises to ensure DOGE gets their rubber stamp and a sense of legitimacy. It’s collusion.
