From Adam Kinzinger (emphasis on "zinger")

“President Musk this morning made it clear — with all his vast government experience, which is basically, he became rich on the federal government — that he doesn’t want Republicans to pass this. and seemingly, Vice President Trump kind of backed him up at that point. this is going to be a messy 4 years.”

This is how it's done.

I suspect that #COPRESIDENTMUSK did his best to kill the CR because that's what his buddy Vlad wants -- a non-functioning US government which will stop supporting Ukraine. The air traffic controllers should decide to strictly curtail Musk's access to the public airspace.

Brilliant piece, as usual! Thank you for everything you do and for your awesome use of profanity, I love it! Definitely one of my go to’s for blowing off steam over the stupidity of repugnicans. Looking forward to more of your awesome pieces! 🥰🫶🏻

"The Democrats should not lift a fucking finger until Republicans come crawling on their knees and beg them for help. And only then should they hand over a list of non-negotiable demands."

100%. Don't approve any cabinet members, don't approve MAGA legislation, don't approve any SCOTUS justices. Do not help with anything that advances their agenda. Then, every Democrat should go on interviews or social media and talk about how Republicans can't get anything done (they had all three doncha know)...that Mad King Donnie, Leon, and...the other guy...what's his name...JD Mandel...no...umm...oh yeah...Couchfuck Vance are flaccid, ineffectual, and comically dumb. Start campaigning NOW.

Between the corporate media that has fucked us over for a decade, and the Democrats’ passivity (a feature, not a bug), it’s easy to forget that Biden is still president. I can’t tell if they’re standing back and watching the Republicans shit themselves and the country (and they’re just getting started), or if they’ve all picked up their toys and gone home.

Jeffries and others have suggested that Democrats aren't going to bail out the Republicans on this CR clusterfuck. Good. They made this bed, let them lie in it.

Sadly, the Republicans will blame the Democrats for the shutdown, and the corporate media will run with it, as they always do.

They'll try but that has never once worked. Republicans always get the blame because they always brag about it. They can't stop themselves.

With his fragile ego, I wonder how much damage could be done to Elmo's standing with Cheetolini if someone *innocently* pointed out that it looks like Elmo is actually running things? Almost makes me wanna get a Lie Social account to poke the bear.

Bernie and Kinzinger are already calling him "President Musk," and I think we should all be doing that. Well, "President-elect Musk."

Elno the Muskrat is the epitome of a rich, entitled mentally handicapped (I want to call him the “R” word so bad) billionaire. Which he is.

FDJT is going to show him the door when he realizes Elno is taking all his screen time and media attention.

I can't see how that won't happen unless Trump is completely under his control. Guess we're going to find out.

Herr Miller will explain to him how Hitler eventually nationalized businesses, and killed the owners that tried to control him.

Just say "retard." The correct term is "exceptional," but saying retard is funnier and true: his a-brain, along with his VP's, has been RETARDED.

Let's all calling Elon President elect and watch Trumps head explode. If we give Musk all the airtime, it will really piss off the orange baby

Dude, you are gonna have to pay for my therapy for this: "Now, Musk has threatened to primary anyone who does not obey him. He has enough blood money to replace every single Republican House member and still have $250 Billion left over to buy infinite lapdances from Donald Trump."

I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate your profane language. What I find interesting is in the world today. People do not seem to get as upset with propane language as they would have 10 years ago. And while I have no problem with it in any case, it makes me a bit sad that things have progressed so far in the US that it’s perfectly OK. But keep sending us those posts.

I guess it depends on where you grew up. In Brooklyn in the 80s, this is how I talked all the time. I toned it down for the first 10 years of my kids' lives but when they were old enough? Ah, freedom to curse again. Now my daughter curses like a sailor and I couldn't be more proud. :)

It's because younger generations, realized there is no point in being stuffy about profanity, the sickening republicans push policies that gut the guardrails of democracy, and harm people, yet swoon at profanity that is well-deserved? They deserve all the profanity they have earned.

I have been say this since election day. I've dealt with mentally challenged narcissistic nitwits many times in my life. And tRump is the nitwit to end all nitwits. He and Muskrat are gonna eat each other alive and they're gonna be so busy with that, that nothing else will get done.

I find it hilarious 😂 that DJT came out this afternoon to say that he's in charge 🤣 he's obviously starting to realize that a good number of people believe that Musk is POTUS while Trump is just a figurehead. Watching cheetolini's meltdown shall be spectacular

>> "It’s worth considering how much longer this state of affairs can go on. Donald Trump is a raging narcissist and fired an awful lot of people from his first administration for trying to control him. Musk is currently making him look like his bitch. A weak bitch, at that. There is zero chance Trump will be able to tolerate that kind of insult for long." <<

And we should help that along by calling Donny a weak bitch on Mush's leash every chance we get.

Left on his own, Donny Convict will resent Mush soon enough. But if *publicly* ridiculed for his balls being in Mush's pocket? We're talkin' Scaramucci time scales.

And all they have to be aggrieved about is... having a lot of money and never facing consequences?
