  2. A sternly worded tweet from President Elect Elon is incoming – Get in line, sycophants.

  3. As someone waiting for my disaster loan to get funded from hurricane Milton damage this makes me smile. I ain’t got nothing but time, half a roof on my house maybe, but I can wait. Boo hoo president musk. 

  4. President Musk and his deranged cohort might find out who’s driving the bus

  5. Is it true that “fast tracking” this continuing resolution requires 2/3 vote in the House? If so, the Democrats alone can prevent it from passing.

  6. Maybe they can wait till February. I wonder how the inauguration will happen without funding?

  7. Failed 174-235

    God damn thats a good chunk of republican detractors too on top of I assume every dem saying piss off, guess President Musk has his work cut out primarying all those GOP

    Edit: 38 Republicans total apparently..thats actually pretty wild with how partisan shit is now adays

  8. More proof that republicans are just simply unable to govern. Buckle up, the next two years are going to be crazy. I’m buying stock in popcorn companies.

  10. What did they think would happen?

    The house agreed on that 1500 page bill, Democrats and Republicans, and it is Republican majority in the House right now. When the bill got to Senate with not much time to vote on it, Elon decided to go on a X rampage telling everyone and their mama to vote it down promoting misinformation on the pay raise and football stadium thing, Trump backed him, and all of a sudden everyone’s turning back on that bill. On top of all that, Elon made it very clear any Republican who voted against was against them.

    Giving Republicans this would’ve set the precedent anytime a bill gets through House, someone can make a X post and change minds, get it voted down, propose a bill in less than 48 hours, and DEMAND it gets voted through. Don’t even mention they took out child cancer research funding, it was trying to suspend the debt ceiling for 2 years, and it’d increase the debt, and U.S. outbound investment in China was knocked out.

    (Edit) Other things after doing more research online that were reportedly taken out:
    anti deepfake porn bill(part of the Take It Down Act as someone informed in the comments), funding for research on premature labor, money for treatment of sickle cell disease, money for breast and cervical cancer early detection, and a program for down syndrome research

  12. I’m all for rejecting a bill that includes a pay raise for lawmakers since they cannot be bothered to raise the federal minimum wage. They can fuck off

  13. 174 lol is the government even trying to operate normally

  14. First Lady Donald Trump ain’t gonna be putting out for President Musk tonight!

  15. MAGA doesn’t seem to like it when their bills get obstructed.

    Oh well.

  16. No surprise. The Republicans are pissed that Musk sank the bill they had ready and the Democrats are over the bullshit already.

    The pro-Trump government employees I work with are confused because the leopards are chewing on their faces.

  18. In their mind they have a mandate. So they clearly do not need dems to participate right?

  19. If I were Biden I’d just be sitting back and watching the show.

  20. Republicans want to suspend the debt ceiling for 2 years so Trump can do whatever he wants, then bring it back in 2 years just when Democrats might take legislative power so Republicans can then hold the debt ceiling over the Democrats head?

    No thanks.

  21. It is crazy how many times Republicans have proven over and over that they can not govern. But hey let’s keep voting them in cause Democrats can’t give us a real candidate.

  22. What did they expect to happen when the Republicans had to negotiate with themselves, lost that negotiation, and then brought it to the floor ignoring all the Dems?

  23. What’s this? A decent chunk of the Republicans grew a backbone and told Musk to fuck off? Incredible, never thought I’d see the day.

  24. I guess they weren’t planning on 38 Republicans voting against it.

    Seems like they are calling Elon’s bluffs and know that Trump will eventually drop him when he gets too much attention

  25. Yeah, the one where the world’s richest man tried to steal $200 million from kids with cancer.

  26. Don’t see why it matters if First Lady Trump endorsed it. How did President Musk feel about it though, that’s the real question. 

  28. You know I already miss the feeling of “man it sure is nice to wake up to relative normalcy in our government”

  29. Good. It’s time the democrats play the obstructionist, but not needlessly.

    Hold out for two years if they need to. Voters want the dems to be tougher.

    But if he wants to play ball, promise to insulate him. Promise the entire democratic caucus will protect his position and support him, if he just agrees to cut Musk and Ramaswamy out. Explain that you understand that the right wants things that the left doesn’t, and vice versa. But you’ll make concessions for the sake of governance if the BS gets cut out.

    Tell them you want a return to normal governance.

    If not, burn it to the ground and dance in the ashes.

  30. Isn’t Elon Musk threatening members of Congress and attempting to influence political leaders? Sounds like terrorist threats to me

  31. lol. You fuckers voted for this shit. I hope you get precisely what you voted for.

  32. The USA chose republicans to lead the way so let’s have it! The Latino men that needed a geriatric white male to guide their people. The 47% of women that thought get a rapist had women’s back and best interests in heart. The fragile white men that wonder why being an asshole doesn’t get them women like trump. ( he bought a woman because no self respecting woman would have touched him.
    All she was is a piece of ass with an anchor baby that fucked her way to citizenship.

  33. Lets hope Biden vetos any change to the debt ceiling. Let world burn at this point

  34. Poor vice president trump, I guess president elect Elon told him no.
