The CR has dropped.... It's not going well....

Going to be interesting to see how long Trump tolerates Elon. Feels like he's running things.
$70,000 raise in the offing.
Kill it.
Open it to the public so everyone can read the 1,500 or so pages. Give all reps a week to read it. None of this shit of passing it to find out what’s in it.
As long as Elon gives Trump credit for everything he wants credit for and never publicly criticizes something Trump favors, he'll be fine. $100M buys you a lot of consideration.
$70,000 raise for who? Congress has blocked a an automatic cost of living raise for 15 years. If the bill passed the max raise would be $6,600 a year. I shed no tears for them, but that doesn’t strike me as outrageous after no raise for 15 years.
I was going to predict that some time in the next two years we will witness the first government shutdown while the same party controls the entire government, but then I went and did some background research, and it's happened once before: in 2018. 🤣🤣🤣
was that back when America was great?
If I’m being perfectly honest, neither would I.
My SS better drop next week or I'm going to give those two a piece of my mind, by God.
Ramaswamy is also a strong entrepreneur who will be interesting to watch as he takes on the new role of being a teammate.
Could it be Trump prefers trying to convince Musk and Ramaswamy to be on the team rather being spectator critics ?
However, will they accept these new roles?
Trump is sure more exciting than any of his predecessors in my lifetime.
Holy shit, I've never seen political hackery admitted to so clearly before.
Upon further review, I'm not even sure Trump understands what he's worried about here. This threat makes zero sense.
Complete gibberish. Welcome to the next 4 years. Dumb fkn clown
So guys who are worth hundreds of millions to hundreds of billions don’t care if little people get screwed by a government shutdown. Say it ain’t so.
I hope the MAGAts who voted for this shit, and the people who were too high & mighty to just not vote, get hurt first and hardest. Hope they didn’t spend too much on Christmas.
But eggs are expensive!
It will even with a shutdown. Same with disability and other benefits
DOn't worry, Auto Zone has night time o6penings. You can pick up extra work. (FYI, I've found myself in a pickle as well, so It's not like I don't share some of your concern, it's kind of a joke, also at my own expense).
Good. You know I wouldn't want to depend on the government if it didn't.
Elon pushes more fake news out than any media company. Guy is a habitual liar.
Supposedly there are outbound investment restrictions in the CR….that would be a winner with regards to serious China policy.
Hell, I'm getting all the hours I can stand as it is. It's not that we're really busy, just have had some turnover and they keep tapping me to fill holes.
Let it shut down. Gingerich did and it worked.
Govt shutdowns are incredibly stupid. They don't achieve anything and cost the govt into the billions.
They might be stupid but it’s more stupid to keep passing all this pork at the last minute to avoid shutdown.
My guess is all these last hail Marys will fail.... And they'll do some really short term clean extension for like a few weeks.
