Elon musk set it up where all his tweets must go to every Twitter account, whether you want to hear him or not....

That's not true, his tweets are boosted on X so they bypass some filters (one of the benefits of owning the platform), if users don't want to read them, they can block him or just doom scroll past his tweets.

that's A LOT of influence and in kind donation....

He owns the platform, if you don't like it DON'T USE THE PLATFORM. Secondly did you not notice that every politician gets free airtime on every other media platform on the planet Earth? Do you think they have to report that time as "in kind donations"?

Elon Musk has a lot of influence because he's recognized as one of the smartest and most successful human beings on Earth, He's a modern day Da Vinci, if some people don't like it, tough titties, way it goes.

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

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

That's the 3rd stupidest thing you've ever said.

After the 18th amendment, they didn't need to write the Volstead act?

Now sit in the corner with the rest of the MAGAts who don't know shit.

 

[postman]

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.

You mean like when the Beatles played a rooftop concert (1st amendment free speech), they were shut down because they drew too big a crowd and didn't have a permit.

When it comes to knowing anything, you should just "let it be"

I am fully on board with eliminating the debt ceiling.

The debt ceiling was always ridiculous.

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

It's the last and possibly only barrier to government running up limitless debt.

Think of it like the hangover that follows a night of drinking.

Negative feedback, to counter positive reinforcement.

 

[postman]

You are wrong, as always.

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

And how would you enforce a balanced budget amendment, unless you write a law saying how the constitution is to be followed.

Remember: You said if it's in the constitution, you don't have to write a law.

Taking that back now?

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

Should I start counting the ways and means you've used to avoid backing up your claim of unconstitutional spending bills?

 

[g5000]

The spending bill should be stopped.

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

You have been misinformed.

The bill transfers purview over the football stadium to the city of Washington, DC. It will be paid for by the taxpayers of that city, not the taxpayers of the US.

That's a good thing, yes?

Someone is lying to you, and it is probably Musk. He also tweeted Congress was giving itself a 40% raise.

That's a total lie. Musk lies. It's what he does.

Congress has not had a raise since 2009, and this bill gives them a 3.8 percent raise. The first in 15 years.

The bill is shit and needs to be flushed.

You are clearly just parroting some lies you have been told.

I can't wait to see the glowing praise you heap on the massive overspending the fully-in-control GOP will be doing.

I never heard a single one of you profoundly hypocritical parrots bitching when the GOP Congress and Trump doubled the federal deficit during his last term.

Listen you miserable stupid fuck

No MAGA Patriot who works for a living approves giving the CIA/DOD Carte Blanche spending . Only the Socialist Demon Rats allow their Supreme Leader to be the sole decider.

 

[g5000]

There probably isn't a sports stadium in America which hasn't been subsidized by taxpayer dollars.

This manufactured bullshit and hypocritical outrage over the Generals' stadium is a marvel to behold.

These idiots really are cattle being led around by the rings in their noses.

My goodness.

You sound EXACTLY like a post-Watergate limp-wristed liberal!

I predicted Trump would do this to you, but this is really something to see it come to fruition, I must say.

Did Biden make George Soros or Bill Gates head of an imaginary government commission?

No, he just does whatever they want.

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?

Warms the very cockles of my heart that Musk scares the living shit out of you and your cult.

If congress approves it, and the president signs it, how could a spending bill be unconstitutional.

If provisions within it, are unconstitutional, they are removed by the courts, the rest of the bill remains intact.

How congress spends money may be illegal, like when Reagan funded the Contra rebels. But even illegal spending isn't unconstitutional.

If the Constitution said it is unconstitutional for the Federal Government to spend a penny more than it takes in each year, exactly what law would be needed, moron?

Your ignorance is astounding

Let It Be (1970 film) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

In the final portion of the film, the Beatles and Preston give an unannounced concert from the studio rooftop. They perform "Get Back", "Don't Let Me Down", "I've Got a Feeling", "One After 909" and "Dig a Pony", intercut with reactions and comments from surprised Londoners gathering on the streets below. The police eventually make their way to the roof and try to bring the show to a close, as it was disrupting businesses' lunch hour nearby.

Something explaining the punishment for doing so.

Like with the debt ceiling, if there are no consequences to stop them, they'll just keep doing it anyway.

Just include any and all members of Congress will be executed if they deficit spend in the Amendment.

Next?
