But it was Musk who played the Republicans.

Musk got Republicans to cut popular programs, including the revenge porn ban, which would have exposed Musk to liability from his Twitter/X cesspool.

We got played by the democrats and we ended up doing the best thing for our country considering the alternative. We got played by Dems and done good. How the hell am I sposed to sell that back home?

Two five syllable words in the subject line. I got played. Does anybody know what a malapropism is?

He was a real believer, too. Somebody should use that to primary his ass into retirement.

That's all anyone would have talked about. By Jan 20th it would have been 30 days. And it would be Trump's problem. Also, with a razor thin majority in the House, it could take weeks to get a Speaker elected.

The few smart Republicans understood this. That's why they came to the table with an offer Democrats could accept.
