Thank God we can be oppressed by a handful of people in the private sector instead of a handful of people in the government
This is why every kid wants to be a rapper or social media influencer now. Real work barely pays.
I'm not the one in charge of foreign policy
Musk gets an average of 15 to 30 million views each post on X
Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC averaged just over 3 million viewers combined last week.
And I'm glad jobs like that still exist. People who work hard should be able to retire at a decent age and live comfortably.
They'll have to do this again in less than a month anyway
He's in the picture
Fair enough. He could be more attractive than Melania in that state for all we know lol.
Bro got the low taper fade
About an hour ago House Republicans agreed to go through with Massie's plan of breaking the bill into smaller ones dealing with specific subjects.
Now Speaker Johnson has backed out of this agreement and is trying to work with Democrats once again, pushing the same bill that Trump and Musk publicly denounced. They have both previously stated that they would primary any Republican who passed the bill Speaker Johnson is now working on.
It's a miracle it's not worse considering the amount of chemicals and radiation people interact with on a daily basis
They'll raise prices to make chickens more comfortable and then argue that we need illegal labor and human trafficking to keep the farms running cheaper.
I don't see him as a "bad guy" or a strategic mastermind. He's a fairly passive guy just trying to do his best under a ton of pressure and influence from various factions. He's only where he is because of his lack of ambition. He's the only man every Republican was willing to accept.
She's 81 years old
Mike Johnson is totally weak and has no mandate as a leader. He doesn't seem like a particularly ambitious guy unlike McCarthy so I don't think he'd fight as much if people called for a new speaker.
It was another wacko "conspiracy theory" like the laptop. Those things rarely have a permanent shelf life.
TLDR: Chip Roy wanted cuts, Trump wants to eliminate the debt ceiling for 2 years.
Trump's plan included many spending increases and some cuts while the Freedom Caucus wants cuts all around. Democrats and normie Republicans favored the original bill which included mostly spending increases all around and also increased Congressional salaries (among tons of other things).
Shutdown is probably happening. It's hard to imagine a solution at this point. It's a chronic problem.
This guy was a prophet
It's not about fraud, it's about how expensive the programs are. You basically have to either cut military spending or cut entitlements. Or raise taxes.
China does not recognize Taiwan as an independent country. We're basically the only one keeping China from seizing Taiwan and the will to fight a war just isn't there anymore. No American is going to willingly fight and die for another country in 2024 and China knows that.
The elites get regular lead injections to keep themselves safe from radiation. That's why Biden is so sharp and articulate at his age.
I read the whole bill. It was definitely better than the previous monstrosity but had some room for improvement.
Don't touch social security, Medicare or Medicaid. Regular Americans rely on those programs and Trump promised not to touch them.
Reduce the massive agricultural subsidies
Reduce the unspecified "environmental science" grants.
Reduce defense spending. Contractors are getting paid way more than they aught to for what's being funded. The military shouldn't be a welfare program for middlemen.
The spending should be reserved for things that directly make people's lives better, and it should be written down exactly how it's going to be carried out. The money could go a very long way if it's rationed intelligently.
Maybe patriotic ladies should join them to bankrupt these corps once and for all
Maybe both are true lol. What if we just went back and forth between this every election year for the rest of eternity.
