So it's still a Trump win!!!
Trump 2 shutdowns to Biden 0.
Orange s..t for brains, said yesterday, if we are to shutdown, do it on Biden watch, so he looks bad.
Biden got one up, he said to congress and they agreed. Approve all except for removal of the debt ceiling.
And they did.
Biden you win
He shut down the government and supported Germany's AFD party... Who would have guessed someone who was born and raised on the wrong side of apartheid would have Nazi tendencies. End oligarchy before it ends us.
some of those are bad some of those are good but pick one and keep saying it over and over and over again and yell at every dem who calls it something different. elon musk = shutdown in everyone's mind make those words absolutely adjacent and inseparable.
usually the furthest they can get with this stuff is they run into the first news cycle of the centirst media complaining about hearing the message too often and use that as a signal to let up instead of a signal that it's working https://bsky.app/profile/booridley.bsky.social/post/3ldmi6uihe22s
you will know you have said it often enough when a centrist news anchor or panelist accidentally misspeaks "muskdown" when they mean to say "shutdown" that will be the "you have done it enough" point. until then: Elon Musk's Government Shutdown just try to work it into every single sentence you can.
Make a game out of who can say it the most often on TV. Elon Musk's Government Shutdown Elon Musk's Government Shutdown. The Government Shutdown Brought to you by Elon Musk. Tesla Shutdown.
A good thing about rising awareness that the mainstream press likes Trump and wants him to win is that hopefully when Dems hear stuff like "Dems are saying 'Elon Musk's Government Shutdown' too much!" from them they will understand that they are not trying to help Dems with friendly advice
MMT explains the absurdity of a government shutdown. It’s a self-inflicted circus with the clowns setting the tent on fire. Watch “Finding the Money” https://youtu.be/Mrje-m01kI8?si=cI3duX4YNztSjaLb
I swear it's like Democrats don't want to win. Not just elections, but skirmishes in Congress or space in people's heads. I'm getting sick of this ish. I didn't vote for "we're willing to work with them" -- I wanted fighters. But gerontocracy and appeasers is what I got.
It's not going to work. "Messaging" does not work like you think it does, or rather, it only works in the hands of the bad guys, because it only works when appealing to selfishness and hatred
No one remembers shutdowns. A shutdown would have to deeply impact non-news consumers/apolitical people for months and do lasting harm to the economy to still be on anyone's mind by midterms.
I sent this to Elon on X...Well, you'll like this, Elon!! I've been calling everyone who kisses tRUMP's ass a tRUMP pussy! Now I can honestly and correctly call Donald tRUMP an ELON PUSSY! You planning to get rid of Vance as VP in 2028 OR SOONER and make yourself President? Is that a legit prophecy?
This and referring to him as president musk are no brainers that will turn the public against musk and drive trump absolutely crazy. There will be a falling out between the two most stupid and narcissistic men in America and I don't understand why Dems won't hasten it.

Oh no trashing Musk is fine . Trump and his dipshit will fuck up enough after Musk is gone don't worry. Destroying Musk though is without a doubt something positive even internationally.
when you elect republicans, you get their unelected billionaire puppeteers, in this case, elon musk, shutting down the government. it's simple cause and effect.
"As we enter the fourth year of the Musk shutdown, it turns out that President Trump has been able to cause much less damage than feared as _there has been no federal government_ for him to abuse"
Elon Musk says don’t work with democrats. This means don’t work with democracy. If you don’t have a democracy what do you have? Elon musk want to take your SS so he Elon and the Swami could care less about a government shutdown. Trump voters ask for this.
To Democrats, Republicans don’t run shit! This is a democracy make them know that. RepublicanMAGA wants to take out prescription medicine low prices, community centers and other items for the poor. Elon Musk could care less. He’s a billionaire. When your SS check doesn’t come that’s on Republicans.
This agmt was been negotiated for months, and elon/vikek it sounds like were in close contact with Mike Johnson thru entire process
Who the hell drops the hammer aft a final agreement has been reached, & causes harm to 100's of thousands of ppl w/o a care in the world about the consequences .
Musk/Trump are sabotaging Johnson's ability to do anything with a one-seat majority, and Trump now owns a wildly unpopular shutdown when he hasn't even entered office yet.
Clusterfuck doesn't remotely do justice to what his presidency will be.
Don't work for govt anymore but I imagine a Muskdown can't be that much worse than a Trumpdown. (Probably incorrectly.)
Hope he gets how much of his capitalistic facade is propped up by gov't when he sweeps in like a low-rent superhero in stained sweats to save us from the entity he suckles from
Let it sink in that he may be right. The people who like Musk and voted for Trump might well be looking forward to the fireworks. Many of them are just looking for a bit of excitement. A LOT of excitement.
Unfortunately that still gets mailed out during a “shutdown.”
(Part of the reason shutdowns are so stupid is almost every part of the government remains working except white collar workers who we can survive without for a week or two. Most of the rest just goes without pay.)
Horrible Musk represents the interest of billionaires and huge corporations who don't want gov't helping middle class & poor (who need the help). Billionaires only want gov't helping them (who don't need the help)
"Unelected bureaucrats" go back to 1883, replacing what came before it, which was unelected bureaucrats who bribed their way into the jobs. Trump is a throwback to that era, passing out gigs to anybody who looks likely to do him a favor or already has. I like civil servants who pass their exams.
It’s like an entire species that look like humans but aren’t self-aware yet or capable of emotions beyond “the tantrum”
It would be weird to spend life around creatures so immune to irony or even humor except as a concept (which they have a plan for or at least the concept of one)
No he doesn't. Musk owns this. Also, I wish our neutered media would stop saying about the jailed insurrectionists "who attacked the Capitol." Yes, they did, but that framing makes it sound like a property crime. They attacked "democracy". They attacked our Constitution. And the Capitol.
Not that there isn't value in blaming Musk. But it needs to be done in such a way that it points out that Musk, having spent a quarter of a billion dollars getting Trump elected, believes that he owns Trump.
At the right time, we can point out that Musk owns Trump to watch Trump go apeshit.

Apologies to all Canadians and/or Lightfoot fans.

Elon:
As in, "The price of EGS continues to rise as more federal employees are furloughed without pay and Social Security checks may be delayed."
Elon Musks shutdown
The public will cheer him for it
It’s gonna cause harm to vulnerable people
That’s the exact bread and butter of USA base now
And Musk going to war with Johnson is a great way to derail their ability to do anything in the House.
Shutting down the govt because he thinks it’s a good idea, not so much.
‘they will never know’
He stole it.

If the blame falls to Musk, Trump won’t care and let it go. The stink needs to stick to Trump for it to be avoided.
Oh, and it must be avoided, people livelihoods and lives depend on it.

Forcing Trump into a complete narcissist meltdown is one of the smartest things we can do to preserve our democracy, and I’m not joking.

It’s a clownshow in DC.
