MAGA only believes in Trump. They don’t believe the GOP. The last time they did a government shutdown at Christmastime was Newt Gingrich 1995. 22 days. It backfired. Clinton surged in the polls and was reelected the following year.
Also, even though the GOP retained control of the House in ‘96 because of incumbency, they still lost seats, which they cannot afford to do now. So if they shut it down, they lose. If they don’t shut it down and then lose primaries, they lose incumbency, and still lose seats. No win.
Although I'm kinda liking the fact Democrats are publicly and vocally, on TV no less, calling them President Elect Musk and Vice President Trump. Passive aggressive it might be but it's also funny as hell and you know it's gotta chap the fanta fascist's ass 🤣
In my opinion, it seems that Elon Musk has essentially bought the presidency. It's truly a shame that this man is running the show behind the scenes. This cannot continue.
The conflicts of interest is the bigger issue. Especially when they start deregulating things like accident reporting. Seems they don’t like it when a Tesla blows up or self drives into a school bus. Not to mention he regularly fails to follow security clearance regulations
Please please please! Enough with the language of infantilization, ineptitude, insanity. These people possess power and capability. They're talking of shutting it all down till Jan 20! Dems need to do more than mock! They need to decry, to forge an opposition!
What if Canada repeats 1812 but finishes the job this time, and Uncle Sam's Tourist Plantation rejoins the Commonwealth as an English speaking semi independent colony? What say, King Charles?
If the budget bill isn't resolved by Friday at 5:00 p.m. I think Jeffries should walk his caucus out of the Capitol and say "Happy holidays, we're out of here!"
I don't know how old he is but he's a gem and whatever position he wants to hold he should get it. His wisdom is irreplaceable by the "youngun's" complaining about the "older" people not getting out the way.
Nah, Dems should be saying stuff like this both to make the point about oligarchs running the GOP and to get under Trump's skin. He would hate it if people saw Musk as the one calling the shots.
I love Senator Whitehouse, he stays a lot in the background but he is ALWAYS is 100% dead on policy-wise for what he fights for. Solid, Smart, He absolutely would make a great president.
But sadly he’s probably way too boring for the current ‘entertainment not policy’ driven electorate in America.
Then why aren't they fighting against everything? This is not a retreat to a more defensible position, everything the Trumpists are doing is an affront and needs to be fought every nanometer. The Dems have no political capital so they need to offer alternatives instead of sliding with the Overton.
“It’s a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning.”

If they shut the government down, there is no funding to convene Congress to count the vote on Jan. 6. The is no funding to hold an inauguration on Jan. 20. SHUT IT DOWN.
Always have to stop everything when Senator Whitehouse is on. So so funny, but brilliant. Should be President. Instead you guys elected the most incompetent person on earth.
Everyone already knew this. And yet, Republicans were elected into control of both houses of Congress and the Presidency. That quote is more of an indictment against Dems than a dunk on the GOP.
The only shows on MSNBC I dip into are Last Word and Rachael Maddow. Which hurts because I respect Chris Hayes, Velshi, Ayman. But I just wont feed the beast.
Love Lawrence, Maddox, Hayes , Velshi, the Weekend group, Reid.
It's our only truthful, intelligent program reporting left.
CNN more like some news, lots of subjects you would see on your local news..
Ooh, witty banter, that’s worked so well so far. Here’s an idea go on Fox and explain what’s happening in the dumbest downed terms you can with plenty of scandal quotes by whatever host on hand to shove in their face. You need to convince the people who watch Fox!
This is typical for the Mr. Drumpf kakistocracy.
I'm not sure why these MAGA nutters even run for Congress as they've neither the interest in, nor the ability to, govern.
I'm SO looking forward to the Democrat's 'changing of the guard' (AOC et al) so we can watch the US elect a competent congress.
Wy are they interfering in the decisions before Jan 20th. Isn't it ridiculous that Musk is spreading lies on his platform and interfering on the government decisions. He even said the government should be stopped before Jan 20th. This is inciting violence against govt by musk on X.
"There was no [concern] that this [federal government funding package] would blow up, until it reached the Republican clown car caucus." — Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) 😒
The clown car has crashed even before reaching the White House. Hope they have good insurance. There might not be a body shop capable of putting it back together
Then don’t bail out the Republicans! You had a deal, they broke it. Don’t back peddle and give them a win. Especially, don’t let @SenSchumer have anything to do with this. He is the weakest and worst negotiator in the history of the Senate. PS
Democratic politicians are not coming out strong against Trump's threats of human rights abuses against the innocent American people he is threatening to throw people in jail. If Democratic politicians are going to keep appeasing and sugar-coating the fascist threat they can go straight to hell.
We can’t blame democrats!!! There was an election and many decided to give their vote to maga or, stay home. Hence, they won TWH, congress and senate. We are to blame. We had ONE JOB. POTUS, VP, democratic leadership, EVEN LIZ CHENEY, warned us about another 🍊💩 term.
Trump won the election and now Democratic politicians should stand up and fight for us and say they're not going to stand for these fascist threats against the American people. There is nothing wrong with me demanding a strong message from democratic politicians.
The vast majority of eligible voters sent a clear message to the Dems that they don’t care about them and would rather enable a Trump dictatorship. So I’m guessing the Dems will get right on that…
Okay fair enough. But the election is over now and millions and millions of Americans emphatically reject dictatorship and nobody seems to be fighting for us in Democratic Leadership so we have to do it and we need to start organizing public protests now to demonstrate that we are going to fight.
Actually it was not a vast majority of eligible voters. Trump got about 1% more of the popular vote than Kamala Harris. And this is beyond Democrats or Republicans, this is about freedom versus tyranny and it looks like it will be up to the American people who give a fuck to stand up for ourselves.
I am blaming Democratic politicians who stand around like President Biden and say this is just a setback and act like everything's going to be okay. everything is not going to be okay.
I meant generally speaking. I did the same. I called, sent postcards and was a poll worker, besides donating. But people chose third party, trump or not voting at all. I’m Venezuelan and I have been warning about maga similarities with Hugo Chavez. I was told none of it would happen in the US.
I take fighting for democracy, very serious. I already lost my home country and I’m about to lose my adopted country. Tell me about your anger. Where am I going to go? I’m a legal citizen, since 1976. I gave it my all.
I am heartbroken and I am furious. But when faced with tyranny Democrats seem to be very quiet and just talking about winning next the next elections like these fascists are not determined to stay in power permanently.
Thank you for all you did to defend our democracy. 🇺🇸🗽 Now we need leaders to stand up strong. trump is about to do what Kamala warned us about and try to crush our freedom.
I am not blaming Democratic politicians for Trump winning the election. I am blaming Democratic politicians for the fact that they are not standing strong NOW with a message to the American people that they will not stand for Trump and his henchmen abusing our rights.
Yeah.. we fucking know mate. Stop reporting on shit we know what’s happening. Democrats are letting all this shit happen and some fucks like @fetterman.senate.gov are complicit. So fuck these people.
Whitehouse also voted in favor of a military spending bill that banned gender-affirming care for the trans kids of military families, so he can get fucked along with every single Trump-humping skidmark.
CONGRATULATIONS MAGAts: Enamored with Musk, you were duped into believing financial success equals intelligence. NOW YOU HAVE A DYSTOPIAN NIGHTMARE OF TRUMP BOWING DOWN TO MUSK. A BIPARTISAN DEAL TANKED BECAUSE OF AN IGNORANT BILLIONAIRE. MILLIONS WILL GO WITHOUT PAY OR BENEFITS. NICE WORK ASSHOLES.
Comments
Yes, I saw the same tweets as you did and somehow, they are still blaming the Democrats…
And MAGA believes them!
Crash his market value.
It’s gonna be SO entertaining.

We need top tier righteous indignation layered with sardonic ridicule.

So, either way we’re screwed.

Senate Republicans need to grow a pair and stop the madness.
