Speaker Mike Johnson has a massive new headache as he races to stop a holiday government shutdown — and his name is Elon Musk.

The tech scion and mega-ally of President-elect Donald Trump took to his social platform X on Wednesday to slam a short-term funding bill Johnson backed, criticizing the 1,547-page continuing resolution for its numerous unrelated spending measures — including a raise for lawmakers — and calling it “criminal,” “unconscionable” and a “crime against the American people.”

That’s amazing if true. My idiot rep was bragging about the snippet of pork they got included for the poultry industry. I know they were itching to vote for it for the 40% congressional pay raise.

Pork for the poultry industry?

I have a beef with that!

What's "hilarious" is that those Democrats and RINOs are not going to get all those expensive deals they wrote into the bill.

Good job Musk, Vivek, and Trump. Any Republican who votes for this horrible bill will be looking for a new job in 2026, and that includes Mike Johnson.

You Democrats are the ones who tore up this country and made it the mess it is right now. We are just fixing your fuckups, whether you like it or not. This is not a CR. CR's are 5-pages long ("Extend all appropriations at current rates until March 14th with the following few exceptions...") This is a 1,547-page omnibus stuffed with nonsense that the Democrats and RINOs want to ram through without even amending or even reading it.

That shit stopped the day Trump was reelected.

And shit it is...

 

[wamose]

It's time to face fiscal facts. It's time to start paying down our debt.

 

[1srelluc]

Yep, Hell is coming with Trump.



Musk....I'm your huckleberry.

Why Uniparty assholes, you act like someone just walked over your grave.

Elon Musk ~~~ took to ~~~ X on Wednesday to slam a short-term funding bill Johnson backed, criticizing the 1,547-page continuing resolution for its numerous unrelated spending measures — including a raise for lawmakers — and calling it “criminal,” “unconscionable” and a “crime against the American people.”

Sounds like Musk has a solid handle on reality.

Now we have two lowkifes in charge. A criminal psychopath & a self absorbed billionaire dirtbag. Nice job, MAGGATS.

What could possibly go wrong?

It's great to watch Extremist Lefty Mutants being torn to pieces one by one .
As an outsider it is pleasing to see the new broom sweeping the diseased ones out of power and control .

That's why the PASOTUS wants the debt ceiling raised.
