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

Have you bought a Tesla yet?

Negative, I'll be the last person in America driving a car with an ICE, even if I have to pump the oil and refine it myself.

 

[dblack]

So.........you're not real big of the whole democracy thing then.

Not really. It's got some benefits, but I care more about the quality of leadership than the "will of the people".

 

[berg80]

Yeah I bet there's a lot of things you don't realize.

So....there are filters, just not for Nazis?

 

[TimFitz]

Do you know what it means to put "if" at the beginning of a statement, Simp?

Was the conversation you jumped into the middle of too difficult for you? Don't answer that, we already know it was.

Whether I was in your non private conversation or not,your claim was total made up BS.

Trump wants no debt ceiling, so he can borrow and spend to his heart’s content, which is what he fully intends to do.

DOGE is a joke. A stick figure for Trump’s fiscal responsibility con job,

Trump promised trillions of dollars in tax cuts.

 

[Rawley]

Musk and Trump start the circus. And you try and blame it on Schmer?

Idiotic.

It's Congress' job to pass a budget. They've had 12 months. The House passed five out of the twelve appropriations bill this year. All the rest were passed out of Committee. How many has Schumer passed in the Senate?

 

[berg80]

Not really. It's got some benefits, but I care more about the quality of leadership than the "will of the people".

Got it. That means you're already there with the whole autocratic rule thing. I appreciate the honesty. I wish more trumples would be.

Have you seen the new Dodge Charger Daytona?

 

[dblack]

Got it. That means you're already there with the whole autocratic rule thing.

Nope. Didn't say that.

I appreciate the honesty. I wish more trumples would be.

I'm not a Trump supporter.

 

[NetJedi]

So....there are filters, just not for Nazis?

Uh-huh.

 

[berg80]

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

Why would you think pointing out how he made an unilateral decision on the budget bill is scary to me? The whole "own the libs" mentality you folks have developed as a defense mechanism for the Orange Dotard's idiocy is getting tired.

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.

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?

That's why this cartoon is so apropos....

Elon Musk is the President w/JD Vance as the VP.

Trump's in the back thinking he's steering the ship.

You'd fit right in with your ideas about autocratic rule. You should join the cult.

Brilliant.

Have you seen the new Dodge Charger Daytona?

Yes and immediately passed on it.

 

[Rawley]

Why would you think pointing out how he made an unilateral decision on the budget bill is scary to me?

Because you posted an eight paragraph rant about his tweet.

The whole "own the libs" mentality you folks have developed as a defense mechanism for the Orange Dotard's idiocy is getting tired.

What's tired is Congress abdicating their duties, year, after year, after year, after year. It's stopping. Yesterday.

It's faster than any ICE car you'll ever drive.

 

[berg80]

Because you posted an eight paragraph rant about his tweet.

Not about his tweet. About how House Repubs reversed course on the verge of agreeing to a bipartisan budget compromise and obeyed Elon's directive. My, my, you are a deceitful one.

All I'm saying is that I don't worship majority rule. That's what saddled us with Trump.
