Merry Christmas America; Republicans hate you and want you to die

    Republicans scuttled the Government funding bill yesterday night,

By a vote of 174-235, the House of Representatives rejected the Trump-backed package, hastily assembled by Republican leaders after the president-elect and his billionaire ally and increasingly close political partner Elon Musk scuttled a prior bipartisan deal.

Part of this Republican failure included Mike Johnson cutting out federal funding for a pediatric cancer research program because Republicans hate America and don't care if children die, and really enjoy when children do die.  If you're not a millionaire you have no influence in a Republican government and if you're not a billionaire you have no control of a Republican government. 

For his part, Trump wants the Debt Ceiling (a mechanism Republicans have used since President Obama to water-down and diminish Democratic policies completely abolished) because he and the thieves he's surrounded himself with want to loot the treasury and the Federal Reserve; at a cartoonish level which would make any James Bond villain blush.

You = Net Worth north of $1,000,000,000

Remember one of the really successful campaign tricks Trump/Vance et al pulled was telling (mainly white men and women) the Republicans are the party for You; while Kamala Harris is for They/Them.  In reality, Republicans are a party of rich assholes who have used Fear & Hatred to get people to vote against their "economic interests".  Decades of rightwing propaganda and lies about the Government being "the problem" have set us up for this moment when Republicans who are experts at undermining a functional government can not do anything when in power other than step on their own dicks.

I kind of take that back;  Republicans in power of the Federal Government aren't incompetent they are malicious.  For instance; restricting and controlling women's access to medical care, or raising taxes on working class Americans to give massive taxes breaks to their billionaire owners.  Republicans have been running on the platform of Government is against people (especially white people) and government fails, recall how Trump and Vance and El Presidente Elon Musk told wild and vicious lies, smears, and slanders about Hurricane response in North Carolina, with vile claims of those poor white peoples' aid going to illegal immigrants and trans persons.

Now, understand when Government fails or seemingly fails, Republicans win.  When Republicans run on a platform of Government is a failure and then when they win office those elected Republicans sabotage and undermine their committee or department it's a win-win.

So, it should be no surprise Republicans have shut down the Government.  Now, Elon Musk and Just Despicable Vance aren't going to take credit for their dirty handiwork and they know they have a sympathetic ear in Corporate Media along with Musk's firehose of lies and shit on X, so they've blamed the Democrats.

Thankfully, the Democrats haven't swooped in to save the Republicans from their own actions, unfortunately a lot of Americans are going to be hurt.  But... well Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and every other Democratic official warned you that Republicans were going to do damage and hurt a lot of people and white people said, 'FUCK YEAH!  LET'S GO!'

I hope Hakeem Jeffries and the rest of the Democratic leadership can stop themselves from helping Republicans because 1) We never get credit, 2) Corporate Media then can point to the vile Republican agenda as being "bipartisan", and 3) most importantly everything MAGA has planned is evil and will harm millions of people.

Republicans hate you, they hate America, they hate anyone who isn't rich or an ideological terrorist helping to advance the Conservatives agenda of subjugation, oppression, adulation of the rich, and white supremacy.
