Elected Dems referring to President Musk and VP Trump is genius.  That will start to eat at Trump in no time.

this is what Trudeau should do if Trump keeps referring to him as the Governor of Canada.

Shut it the fuck down, give Elon the keys, whatever, this is what the people want. I'm sure they'll still blame O'Biden when it all goes to shit. A bunch of us will be dead soon from polio anyway.

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. 

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 live in an ag community.  I also work for the federal government.  Unfortunately, I work for an agency that still requires me to show up for work during the shutdown.  The last one lasted 35 days, so we were tardy on two paychecks. 

Every shutdown, without fail, local social media is overrun with posts by farmers/ranchers championing sticking it to the feds.  Here's one from 2018, for example, from a rancher who also owned a restaurant....

A week later, he, along with many others in the ag community, were complaining to our senators and representative that they weren't getting their gubmint handouts or able to apply for loans because the Farm Service Agency was shut down.  Farmers across the country complained loud enough that the FSA's status was changed from furloughed to excepted, so as not to upset the "backbone of our country."

I think they should be forced to prove they didn't vote for Trumpmusk before getting any preferential treatment.

Stronger in the GOP has its shit together behind him. Kamala wasn’t helped by Biden but she did nothing to segregate herself from him. Her campaign was “I’m not Trump”. They was good enough for me but I recognized her relative weakness. It wasn’t good enough for the majority of the country. I have voted exclusively GOP in my voting history. I abstained from voting for POTUS in ‘16 and ‘20. I have never and would never vote for Trump. 

Previously you said the Democrats presented "subpar" candidates.  That implies you are referencing their qualifications, not the strength and cohesiveness of their party's support (as you now are suggesting).  I don't know what your vote has to do with your prior comment.  We were talking about why rural undereducated buffoons voted for GOP candidates who are clearly worse than those "subpar" democrats because their policies run directly contrary to those voters' interests.

Also, a majority of the country didn't vote for Trump.  Hell, even a majority of the voters didn't.  (Hint--it was a plurality, and by one of the slimmest margins in history).

It had little to do with race/sex and people have got to stop with the racism and misogyny bullshit. It is totally counterproductive. 

Well, when you suggest that the dotard is better qualified to be president than a former DA, senator, and vice-president, what do you expect?

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.

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.

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.

Wrong. 29% of US adults voted for Trump.  Nowhere near "most." 

According to Wikipedia, Trump got 49.9% of the popular vote. Close, but not a majority there either. Kamala got 48.4%

It was a very close race. If a football score was 49-48, it would be called a close game. 

It is those idiot world red maps... or an antiquated electoral college system .. that give the illusion of a wipeout.

And the rest of us are getting fucked ... in one way or another because of it.

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.

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…

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.
