Yesterday, we saw the raw exercise of power by President-Elect Elon Musk, who spent the day Tweeting out threats to every Republican in the House to not pass a Continuing Resolution to fund the Federal Government.
“This is a shit sandwich,” said Rep. Anna Paulina Lunatic, Fascist- Florida, said Wednesday. “I don’t know how else to say that. We’re being forced into this position.”
The Continuing Resolution funding bills were a historical nothing, a minor artifact until Republicans in the House under President Obama weaponized it to undermine his agenda and gain concessions. Now, it's been fully actualized to scuttle the Government. Trump being caught flat-footed, as his brain continues to turn into syphilitic jelly, jumped on board with the Musk Republican efforts to shut down the government before Christmas.
A Trump transition team official said the president-elect's opposition to the CR was part of "practicing what he preaches."
“There is no way, I mean none, that he would support DOGE and also a 1500-page CR," the official said, referring to the Department of Government Efficiency Trump has asked billionaire Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to run.
Who's supporting whom here? Who's in charge here?The Democratic response, especially by Hakeem Jeffries and still President Biden should be fine and not do anything to help Squeaker Mike Johnson out of this Republican morass. Always remember shutting down the government has zero effect on elected Republicans, they are going to get paid, they continue to accuse all time and benefits "owed" to them. Their flights and travel plans won't be affected. Shutting down the Government is always a win for Republicans because they have positioned themselves as the Party of the Government doesn't work and the Government isn't looking out for you, so when Republicans sabotage the Government they can crow about being right about Government failures.
Republicans have hated the power and scope of the Federal Government for years, now they are poised to return it to the two functions they deem Constitutional; having a large standing army to forcibly open foreign markets up to American Trade and fielding a massive security and surveillance state here at home to quell domestic dissent. Quelling domestic dissent can be everything from violently rounding up homeless people, ensuring woman have no authority over their own bodies, crushing labor unions, to beating and killing minorities and malcontents.
- Privatize the United States Postal Service, this is of course in the face of actual text of the Article 1, Section 8 in the Constitution which empowers Congress to establish a Post Office and post roads. Of course, the Sinister Supremacist Six under John Roberts can merely interpret it to mean privatize the USPS when the time comes.
- Establish the Bitcoin and Crypto Reserve is nothing less than a nefarious plot to set up the conditions to bust out and bankrupt the entire Federal Reserve and Department of Treasury when the crypto bubble bursts.
- Turn over the Department of Defense to a drunken rapist thief who could never rise above the rank of O-3 because of gross incompetence and being a dishonorable cur whose loyalty to the Constitution isn't even skin deep as evidenced by his array of White Power tattoos. While also turning over the entire US Intelligence apparatus to a woman who is a known and adjudicated Russian asset.
Well... that day is now a month away...
