President-Elect @elonmusk demanded Republicans kill the bipartisan bill. He threatened primary challenges.

The states are going to be in major turmoil for the next 4 years and I am forecasting musk will lose out completely he is really stupid on matters of the day he hasn’t a clue on govt duties

knucklemucker.bsky.social•107 days ago

gives new meaning to the term "circle jerks"

deejaymcg.bsky.social•107 days ago

Noooooooo
Musk got the restrictions on business with the Chinese Communist Party DROPPED from the CR.
He got what he wanted.

jwatsonco.bsky.social•107 days ago

This will be especially funny if Senate Dems reintroduce the elements of the original agreement that were stripped out, as it appears they've done with the funding for pediatric cancer. There's a lot to be said for understanding how government works.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•106 days ago

They already have!

joegadway.bsky.social•106 days ago

I am happy Trump did not get a debt limit increase. I think that debt limit might come in handy to slow down a fascist president. That's what I think!

pennycallsmekoko.bsky.social•106 days ago

Musk will do what Musk wants to do. Shame on those three feckless PsOS for letting him do his buffoonery.

Thank you michael for always being on point stupid John’s and laughing and he would not have been laughing if the Democrats weren’t there to save his butt again

the little elf will cave to anything and everyone. doesn’t even have a bank account. oy vey.

He loves the notoriety. Maybe everyone should stop talking about him.

davisleedowns.bsky.social•106 days ago

“Remember him?” 😂 Good one!

3 co-equal branches of govt. The House is not obligated to do what unelected Billionaires or even what POTUS demands. Shame of Republicans in the House letting it get to the 11th hour. Their loyalty is to constituents not Musk/Trump.

kybikertrash.bsky.social•99 days ago

I think you meant their locality should be to their constituents and not Musk or Trump.

Y’all are doing awesome! Love the troll job you did this morning! Keep up the great work! My only complaint is your show isn’t on enough days & hours of the week!

rhodyrebel.bsky.social•106 days ago

“The Speaker did a good job here, given the circumstances. It went from a bill that weighed pounds to a bill that weighed ounces,” Musk said on X, oblivious that the bill didn’t really save any money, unless you’re concerned about paper cost.

rhodyrebel.bsky.social•106 days ago

Ah, but remember, the final bill wasn’t as many pages! And Republicans are bragging about that feat! lol. How bloody stupid is the base?

danylwms.bsky.social•107 days ago

AND they aren’t doing anything else.

danylwms.bsky.social•107 days ago

Make it make sense…why are there so many different things in one bill. Cancer, farmers, tornados, debt ceiling.
None of those things even match!
Why aren’t there separate bills for each issue?
Wouldn’t that be easier to pass and make more sense?
This just seems dumb to me but I’m just an American.

jwatsonco.bsky.social•107 days ago

It's a logical question, but the merging of different items is actually what makes it possible to pass anything at all. It's the horse trading and compromising that makes it possible to govern a country this complex and diverse.

jwatsonco.bsky.social•107 days ago

It would be far too difficult and take far too long to negotiate that many standalone bills.

danylwms.bsky.social•107 days ago

Look how long this took.
They could be efficient if they really wanted to.

jwatsonco.bsky.social•107 days ago

You'll get no argument from me about Congressional gridlock, and some states, including mine (Colorado), have the "single-subject" requirements for bills that you propose. I just don't know if it could work at the Congressional level. There's so little consensus...

demusk.ing•107 days ago

Positioned in the most convenient
of Friday News Dumps.

Happy Holidays, y’all.
We’ll see you in the next Congress!

skittish-pixie.bsky.social•107 days ago

Hey, House of Reps - 2 words:
Gabriella Miller
...and a few more: her face, her voice, her plight, her passing should be on your minds. Saying the bill (you ultimately passed) was too porky, Pediatric Cancer Research monies had to GO! For Shame! How can any of you & Faux Ent look at yourselves?

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•106 days ago

The Senate passed it as a standalone.

stadler91.bsky.social•107 days ago

JD, isn't he the coffee boy?

suzymoon.bsky.social•107 days ago

FAFO

fstrazz.bsky.social•107 days ago

I’m not sure there’s much of a difference between the two. Greed and infantile cruelty join them at the hip and both will crash and burn the country. Musk paid plenty for trump and he’s going to make him dance like an organ grinder’s monkey.

now it seens he wants to be heir to adolf hitler ... seig heil bastard ☣️

demusk.ing•107 days ago

He’ll still probably crash in
the Lincoln Bedroom for a bit.

dix1stwife.bsky.social•107 days ago

Referring to Elon Musk as "President" is not such a far reach. If Trump is able to abolish birthright citizenship Musk as Speaker of the House would be third in line for the presidency. Musk's ability to eradicate Trump and Vance isn't out of the question. Musk must be stopped.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•106 days ago

It doesn’t work that way. He still wouldn’t meet the “natural born citizen” requirement in the constitution in order to be President.

dix1stwife.bsky.social•104 days ago

And yet Trump has hinted at eliminating "natural born citizen" status to be able to remove people he deems immigrants.

bankingonchange.bsky.social•107 days ago

Serious question - if J.D. fell out of a window, would anyone know?

vanllips.bsky.social•107 days ago

And they will say they "done good" but they did nothing but look uneducated and foolish. They are completely out of touch. Everyone will see. I am actually proud of Congress this time around. To be continued. ✌️❤️🇺🇸

What was not included was the reenactment of Older Americans Act that was first passed in 1963. That’s Meals of Wheels & Long Care Ombudsmen. These programs are in all States & mostly volunteers. Yes, thousands of volunteers advocating for people in Assisted Living & Nursing Facilities.

commonsenseonly.bsky.social•107 days ago

That side of the aisle is exceptionally good at kissing the ring no matter whose it is.

fifytzbabie.bsky.social•106 days ago

Elon Musk dangled the carrot in Trumps face and Trump followed him like a junky follows his dealer. Only to find out the dealer wants you to sell your soul to get the drug. In Trump’s case, the drug is money!

hplem.bsky.social•107 days ago

Win or lose elections, the Republicans remain in disarray.
