trump jumps out in front of the parade, pretending to lead it.

[Nostra]

As I said, and you prove my point, MAGAts are STUPID!!!!!
They don't read the f'in Constitution.
You have to spell it out for them, just like I had to spell it out for you.

You're proof they need to put the obvious into writing.

Doesn’t matter if they read the Constitution, Simp.

If it is in the constitution there is no need for a law.

 

[Nostra]

Trump needed a permit to exercise his 1st amendment rights on January 6th.

You learn anything yet about registering to exercise your rights?

No stupid, the permit is for the gathering. Trump could stand out there and give the same speech with no permit if he hadn’t organized a rally.

 

[postman]

You are in over your head - find a thread about basket weaving

You still haven't either explained, or gave an example of an unconstitutional spending bill.

Godot will show up, before you give us an example of an unconstitutional spending bill.

 

[TimFitz]

As the credit rating bureaus explained. Real governments don't debate defaulting on their debts.

I am fully on board with eliminating the debt ceiling.

It is ironic that Trump and Musk are suddenly in front of an effort to bully their own party into demanding something they all have opposed for decades.

The debt ceiling was always ridiculous.

Trump’s short term objectives are obvious. Clear the way for limitless borrow and spend.

But the long term benefit of eliminating a substantial stage in the partisan theater seems well worth the short term.

If Trump gets the debt ceiling eliminated, he’ll turn around and support the bill.

 

[postman]

If they can raise it anytime they want, there is no controls.

Holy cow you are stupid.

Wrong, they have to go through all the parliamentary, constitutional and procedural steps to do it. They need both houses to agree, and the president to sign it. All done in full view of the public

 

[Meister]

First congress isn't doing their job with individual bills.

So they lump them all together into one big bill.

That shouldn't give them a pass with pork spending and other unrelated
policies. Like the email protections and opting out of obamacare. etc.

 

[Nostra]

If Democrats proposed raising or eliminating the debt ceiling you’d be yelling the exact opposite out of the other side of your mouth! hypocrite.

You are wrong, as always.

Until there is a balanced budget amendment it’s all smoke and mirrors.

 

[Nostra]

Wrong, they have to go through all the parliamentary, constitutional and procedural steps to do it. They need both houses to agree, and the president to sign it. All done in full view of the public

When was the last time the refused to raise it?

 

[Contumacious]

You still haven't either explained, or gave an example of an unconstitutional spending bill.

Godot will show up, before you give us an example of an unconstitutional spending bill.

Socialist Demon Rats use a different Constitution - they use the Communist Manifesto which allows their supreme leader to spend monies as he chooses

 

[Nostra]

As a direct result of the GOP’s brinksmanship with governments and open threats to default on US debt.

We wouldn’t default on the debt. Thats a liberal scare tactic.


Plenty of money coming in the service the debt.

Elon Musk leads charge to kill spending bill meant to avert government shutdown​

Tech billionaire Elon Musk is already flexing his newfound political muscle even before his ally President-elect Donald Trump has taken the oath of office.

Musk helped lead a revolt Wednesday to try to stop a bipartisan funding bill in a direct challenge to the authority of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and others in Republican leadership who helped craft the measure. And in a remarkable turn, the revolt appeared to succeed at least for a day, throwing budget negotiations into chaos and increasing the odds of a government shutdown this weekend.

Musk posted to X about the funding bill more than 100 times over the course of the day. He repeatedly called the bill “criminal” and asked his followers to call their representatives, but he also posted memes, including one of him taking a sword to the bill and another referring to the “Kill Bill” films from director Quentin Tarantino. Later in the day, the phrase “Kill Bill” was on X’s list of trending topics in the United States.

Musk announced his opposition to the bill at 4:15 a.m. ET Wednesday.

“This bill should not pass,” he said on X.

The statement put Musk out on a limb as one of the first political figures to come out against the bill, but 13 hours later Trump himself spoke out in agreement.

'Elon Musk has killed the bill': Tech billionaire flexes newfound political muscle

The tech billionaire posted about the funding bill more than 100 times Wednesday, helping lead a charge that appears to have increased the likelihood of a shutdown.

www.nbcnews.com

As I recall, Repub members of the board are fond of railing against "unelected officials," or who they refer to by the fictional term "deep state," controlling the government in nefarious ways. Yet here we have the unelected co-president, Elon Musk, a man who paid $250M to be in the position he's in, killing a bipartisan budget bill as a Christmas shutdown draws near. That's a lot of power.

The orange enemy of the state tried to play catchup but the timing of their respective public remarks, made thru competing social media platforms, made it obvious who decided the bill needed to be killed.

What will Elon decide next?

Your butt hurt just won't go away, huh?

Trump is getting jealous of President Musk.

Gosh, I wonder what excuses you Trumpies are going to use as the massive overspending continues under the total power of the GOP regime.

I can't wait.

 

[Care4all]

Nope! He got the permit for the rally. He did not tell the park service he was going to send his rally goers to March down to the Capitol....which was illegal without permit.

 

[whitehall]

Damn, I thought Biden was still president. Did the parade leave him behind? Jan 20 can't come soon enough.

 

[rightwinger]

Refusing to pay bills UNCONSTITUTIONALLY approved IS a solution

Our Constitution says Congress is responsible for revenue

 

[SeaMajor7]

Cool NARRATIVE, stupid.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Cool NARRATIVE, stupid.

It's spot on.

Musk ate his lunch again.

Sorry to the thin skinned cultists that get weepy over it.

No, this is just another fucking NARRATIVE.
You demented zombies live and die by NARRATIVES.
Every damn time.
GTFOH

 

[Clipper]

The spending bill should be stopped.

Why does it include a fucking football stadium for DC and a raise for Congress…for example.

The bill is shit and needs to be flushed.

It's too late for the subhuman Dotard. He'll never get the stink of Elon's ass off his face.
