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

[Rawley]

Budget?

Do you have any idea what’s going on?

Yup

 

[airplanemechanic]

Elon's total WEALTH has DOUBLED since Trump's election...his $250 million donated to Trump's campaign puts Soros lifetime donations in to the piddley category....well worth the spending, for Elon to double his net worth!


What is wrong with you hypocrites?

Ok, so Elon isn't allowed to make money? What does that have to do with the gov't spending taxpayer dollars we don't have on pork projects we don't need?

See that's the problem with you fucking liberals, you can't separate private business from public gov't spending. You just dump it all in the same bucket. It's not. This is exactly what's wrong with the democrat party. They claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility, spend like drunken sailors, and then when republicans throw out a spending bill because of all the pork, they claim its republicans who are irresponsibly trying to shut the gov't down.

How, exactly, do we get out of this mess with shithead liberals like this running our gov't? Republicans are damned if they do damned if they don't. If they pass the bill, they're just as guilty of irresponsible spending. If they kill it, they're trying to shut the gov't down and kill grandma.

So what is the answer? Why can't liberals put forth a CLEAN bill?

 

[TimFitz]

Yup

Then why are you talking about the budget?

 

[TimFitz]

Is Elon worse than Trump?

Nobody voted for him.

 

[TimFitz]

Sure I do, moron.

Interest on the debt is about $1 trillion per year thanks to Biden.

Tax revenues for FY 2023 were $4,71 trillion.

Have a third grader do the math for you, Simp.

U.S. Passes $1 Trillion Interest On The Public Debt

At what point will this stop? By driving headlong at high speed into an economic brick wall? Eventually those who buy debt will want much more in return.

And what about the part you left out.

WHat do you think the CR is about? Puppies? Bran muffins?

 

[dblack]

Nobody voted for him.

Yeah. I know. But do you think he's worse than Trump?

 

[skye]

yes

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

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

Musk endorses German neo-nazis.
which would mean no nazi filters.

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?

You worthless leftist traitors crack me up!

 

[Dragonlady]

Trump, the Man of Lawlessness....changes all the laws of the time....

Elon should not be holding this govt position without divesting....any person holding this position would have to go through FBI background checks and divest in their holdings of conflict.
--------------

Yes, Trump is going to get jealous of Elon running his presidency....not a strong or good look for Trump.... Trump appears weak....

But Elon gave trump $250+ MILLION dollars to win his election so trump owes him, BIG TIME......

When has Trump EVER paid his debts or honoured his promises to others. Get serious.

Trump renogatiated NAFTA and now he ripping up that deal. How many Breach of Contract lawsuits has Trump faced in those 4000 plus law suits.

Trump got what he wanted. Elon can go fuck himself now if he tries to steal the spotlight.

Trump never intends to pay any of his debts or honour his promises.

Why did anyone have to pass a CR AP Mechanic?

Because the republican majority BROKE their promise the last time this CR came up, of passing a budget, under regular order.

Repubs in the house FAILED to honor that promise....

And here we are.....

Dems are fiscally more responsible than Repubs....proven fact. Repubs give tax cuts and then INCREASE SPENDING....

AND I said more fiscally responsible, I didn't say they weren't big ass spenders...just that republicans are much worse, with cutting the taxes needed to pay, what congress already spent in debt and planned to spend.

How long can this country go on without higher taxes to fund the debt and spending? Not much longer in my opinion.

These Republucan economic crashes have to end. Democrats keep patching the economy up and getting it back on the road, only to have the people throw them out of office and put Republicans back in to cut taxes and crash it again.

You cannot keep doing this and expect to maintain first world status. You’re slipping and badly. Heath, education and infrastructure are in terrible shape and they’re the underpinnings of your success.

Biden only had 4 years and the work necessary to get things going again is not completed. The work which has been done has not had sufficient time to take hold.

Trump comes in with his tariffs and tax cuts, you don’t stand a chance.

But you listened to the billionaire owned media. And believed them.

And you seem quite immature in your response to the post, as if this person you pictured, who had been through a background check, a Senate confirmation, etc. has power to kill a CR and debt ceiling bill....as the non elected president Elon Musk....

Of course he is. He's made a lot of it. But what should be obvious to you is the unethical practice of profiting by virtue of a government position given to him by the orange conman named Don. Tesla's stock didn't double since the election for any fundamental financial reason that typically drives stock prices. It doubled due to the expectation Musk's position, and his relationship with trump, means Tesla will get favored treatment by the government. Lo and behold trump has come out against accident reporting rules for self driving cars opposed by Musk. What a coincidence!

 

[berg80]

You know Repubs are in control of the House and therefore control the language in the bills that come to the floor for a vote, right?

 

[Nostra]

Nobody voted for him.

He didn’t run, and isn’t in an elected position. So exactly why are you crying like a little bitch?

I pointed out you are a moron.
