Ho. ly. shit.
I guess, whatever? Let’s fucking do this.
You mean President Elon tried to kill a bipartisan budget deal with Vice President Trump’s help.
Please, it’s president Elon, Vice president JD Vance, and this senile orange guy who has to be around to sign things.
I thought JD was the first lady
it’s worth it just because of how upset and angry trump gets at being called elon’s puppet.
This is the best thing we can hope for this administration. Complete and utter chaos. Hopefully they’ll be so busy in fighting and firing and rehiring and sexually assaulting people that they can’t fuck shit up too bad.
The sound of Musk is music to my ears. He is an incompetent and overconfident. A great way to get nothing done. Of course voters do not hold politicians to their promises, but if they did hiring Musk would be a great way to ensure failure.
Two of the stupidest people on the planet marching to Putin’s orders - WCGW?
“Stop the steal of your tax dollars!”
Notice something? They are not his tax dollars. Most likely because he personally does not really contribute to them.
Jeffries is correct that it will be the Republicans fault but none of them will acknowledge it nor care. They will lap up whatever lies Trump and company come up with and we’ll all be screwed.
the richest man in the world and an unpopular congress just gave you $10 eggs and milk as a christmas present by killing the farm bill. congrats.
I already keep chickens, might need to add a couple goats before cow milk goes to $10/gal
One question: Will the TSA be affected by a government shutdown?
No, I don’t think so. TSA and air traffic have to work unpaid
Airport security checkpoints etc. will slow to a crawl. The TSA agents may be forced to show up, but they can’t be forced to work at their normal pace.
I remember this from 2019. It took about a month for the pilot/flight attendant/ATC unions to put ‘urge’ and end to the shutdown for safety concerns, this is part of their statement:
Due to the shutdown, air traffic controllers, transportation security officers, safety inspectors, air marshals, federal law enforcement officers, FBI agents, and many other critical workers have been working without pay for over a month. Staffing in our air traffic control facilities is already at a 30-year low and controllers are only able to maintain the system’s efficiency and capacity by working overtime, including 10-hour days and 6-day workweeks at many of our nation’s busiest facilities. source
I’m afraid I’m team TSA-is-pageantry. However, TSA should not go without pay regardless and ATC being stressed about finances concerns me.
yup - and air traffic controllers, right before christmas. good job, republicans.
It will affect their paychecks. Same with the military and other essential services. Generally, they can’t shut down those offices, but they also can’t pay them except in cases where the money was already put into accounts for paying those things.
