  • Dozens Of House GOPers Defy Trump's Wishes, Vote No On Funding Bill
    The Daily Dot, Friday - 12/20/2024 - 07:23 AM

    El Cheato's death grip on the Republican Party got a lot looser last night after 38 of his House minions voted to defy his command to support a spending and debt deal. Via the New York Times: Writing on social media, Mr. Trump had told Republicans to “vote ‘YES’ for this Bill, TONIGHT!” He said it was vital to pass a bill that extended spending until early next year and suspended the nation’s debt limit until 2027, well into his next term. For the better part of a decade, that kind of dictate has usually been enough for Mr.

S., has now found a way to become president anyway: Give Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans $277 million so that he can be the puppet master. If the failed bipartisan bill to keep the government open past Friday is any indication, Musk’s plan to be President-Never-Elected is working. Rep.

  • Will Elon Musk's President Cosplay DESTROY Our Democracy?
    The Daily Dot, Friday - 12/20/2024 - 07:20 AM
