Elmo killed a bill that had $190 million for a child cancer research program.

It also removed the ban on hidden hotel fees—gone because of Elmo.

Agree with this one 100%. The debt is unconscionably high, but the debt ceiling is the worst possible way to manage it. It served no function but to present catastrophic risk to the dollar, and by extension to the global economy.

I totally agree that the debt ceiling is ridiculous. However, I don’t think it’s politically prudent for the Senate to go along with the R negotiated package and that’s assuming they can even get it out of the House. There is no need to give a pass to Trump and the morons for the next 2 years. If you want to run the place, then be adults and do the responsible things.

If they can’t bring the Chip Roy’s of the world around, then the House and Senate Dems will give up significant leverage to impact legislation over the next 2 years.

While this is terrible news, even if it had passed, RFK would have taken a scalpel to this or shifted the funds because of some theory that pediatric cancer was caused by immunizations, therefore this money would better for raw milk subsidies or some other bullshit.

It’s irrelevant because they have nobody to negotiate with at the moment. Their best friend right now is Chip Roy.

It didn’t even get close to 218.  They blew up a bill they negotiated with Dems, then negotiated a new one with themselves, and blew that one up too.  Whatever.  Expected.

Eliminating the debt ceiling and removing it a suicide pill for nihilistic politicos is prudent. We have the dominant reserve currency—and the immense benefits of that status—because we do not default on our debts.

A reminder that Roman emperors did not call themselves that (at least as we understand the word) and that they were persnickety about maintaining the trappings of republican rule.  They accumulated sets of existing and newly created offices, titles, and honorific and cobbled together the structure of imperial rule with the assent of the Senate.

I was talking to my friend DDD. Calm down bro. There’s something called an electorate. And, for all intents and purposes, he won a majority. 

And I am a fuckface.

Rex come on bro you voted for trump

I don’t think he’s lying when he says he didn’t vote for trump, but it’s odd to defend trump now as the better candidate in the election. Why wouldn’t he have voted for him if he was the better more electable choice? Truly a pair a ducks…

Finally had the heart to look up how close the US house was for Dems. 7,310 votes across Iowa-1st, Pennsylvania-7th, and Colorado-8th.

Don’t worry your pretty head. It will all be over soon.

I'm pretty sure mrna vaccines were frowned upon by the MAGAts. But if you tell them this life saving elixir can be extracted from the tip of putin's cock.....well now there's gonna need to be a lot of deep introspection in the GQP. And by a lot, I mean.......glug, glug, glug.

The Hill: Trump team affirms he’s leader of GOP amid ‘President Musk’ barbs

Quote

“As soon as President Trump released his official stance on the CR [continuing resolution], Republicans on Capitol Hill echoed his point of view. President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. Full stop,” said Karoline Leavitt, transition spokesperson for the Trump-Vance team, in a statement shared with The Hill.

Reminds me of that line from Tywin Lannister: "Any man who must say, 'I am the King', is no true king."

At what point will Elmo be named Chancellor of the United Federation of Right Wing States (of which the MAGA party will make the US a funding member). 

And as a follow-up, are you ready to swear an allegiance to said federation?

Whenever the Republicans have shut down the government, their attempts to blame it on the Democrats have never been successful. I don’t see why this time will be any different.

Which is precisely why the lawsuit was filed in the first place.  In addition to being a financially wise choice (versus the cost of litigation and risk of a runaway Trumpy jury), it also reflects ABC choosing to "kiss the ring" rather than fight a good fight as the 4th estate against the incoming fascist regime.

This also reflects the danger of corporate consolidation of the media.  When Disney/Amazon/Murdoch enterprises is making decisions that affect journalism, you are no longer independent.

Good stuff. One thing though, the whole scenario is a bit emblematic of the whole "MSM" treatment of Trump.  On some occasions, overstate what is already bad enough about Trump (rape vs. sexual assault), on others just completely normalize him.  

I thought at the beginning of the Trump administration, the media was in a constant state of hysteria, often overstating the gravity of Trump's malfeasance.  Then, later, particularly as he was out of office, curiously understating his malignance.

Not that any of that really affected his base.  But, assuming there are people "reachable" about Trump (debatable in light of the election results) created a narrative that Trump was persecuted or over-harshly judged.

Fuck you you fucker.

Good. Do it.
And then, end it by passing a CR that fucks over the little guy, victims of disasters, farmers, kids with cancer. Do it.

The only way anything will ever improve is for the suffering to become excruciating. We need more of this. 1000x more.

The solution here is obvious. Stand alone bills. Vote them up, or vote them down on their own merits. The CR/omnibus whatever has just become a mechanism for institutionalized dysfunction, alternately used by the Rs and the Ds based on how the board is set at the moment.

But here's the thing:  the GOP would willingly embrace and pass a CR double whatever was tanked on Wednesday of this week after January 20, because reasons.

No one has time for that, when they have to campaign, and mock the other side. 

What has it been 20+ years since there was anything except a omnibus bill, the times they have changed. Just don't say line item veto or DJT and his lapdogs will go hyper active about that possibility.

Asking earnestly, why is the incoming admin who ran on slashing govt spending demanding the debt limit be removed?

Short answer because they want to do handouts AND get rid of the people that could tell Donny NO.
