Right now in the House, there are 38 republicans and zero democrats who are concerned with spending. Iow, it doesn't stand a chance. Elon is already a sham. He stopped the bill to have the debt ceiling removal added to it. Why on God's green Earth would you need to remove the debt ceiling if you planned on making spending cuts. Completely illogical. It's like saying I'm sending out for new credit cards, so I can quit wasting money I don't have. 1 1

You think it's a coincidence that trump insisted on it immediately after Elon went ballistic on X, and they threatened every member who voted for it? Yeah sure. How many things did Musk outright lie about? Wait until you see the final numbers of how much pork was actually cut from the bill, and we'll see if this was really about the pork. Want to guess the % of difference(i'd say 5% would be very generous)? The republicans who voted against it said it's pretty much the exact same bill. Nancy Mace was on Fox saying all they did was remove the procedural/implementation pages to make it look literally, physically smaller. That's how the republicans got their "win" today. Why was trump insisting the debt ceiling be included if they're cutting spending? Does that make an ounce of sense to you? Edited yesterday at 06:55 AM by daz28

The ethanol subsides should go, don't you agree? It's still in there And no, they are not cutting anything, this is all show. The shutdowns are just political theater

Since when does that matter? The AfD isn’t nearly as far right as they should be, and that’s only because the commies (similar to you) that run Germany made it illegal to tell the truth there. 1
