1. Trump gonna have some explaining to do to Elon
Fri Dec 20, 2024, 06:16 PM

The House approved legislation on Friday to avert a federal government shutdown that was just hours away, with lawmakers extending funding into mid-March and approving disaster relief for parts of the nation still recovering from storms.

The vote came after Republicans stripped out a provision sought by President-elect Donald J. Trump to suspend the federal debt limit and spare him the usually politically difficult task of doing so when he takes office. The debt measure incited a revolt by Republicans on Thursday and led to the defeat of Speaker Mike Johnson’s first attempt to extend government funding.

The Trumpers failed to shut the government down. Trump and Musk wanted that, so they could ride in and save it in January.

Because if it is, no, this is a good thing, because THEN these fools have to do this ON THEIR OWN, and we can just take the extra weekend off and be 'in our home districts', so to speak.

After Feb 1, I'm convinced that for most things, dems should vote PRESENT at best; let the clowns own the show because it's NOT OUR JOB to save the American Electorate from their own stupidity until AFTER they start voting us into Majorities that can actually WIELD POWER.

He's not, though. Donald Trump HATES being upstaged, and Musk has frequently upstaged him. His time at the top may soon be over.
