  • The Latest: Time is running short to avert a government shutdown after funding bill is rejected
    Denver Post, Friday - 12/20/2024 - 08:25 AM

    By The Associated Press A day before a potential government shutdown, the House rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s new plan Thursday to fund operations and suspend the debt ceiling, as Democrats and dozens of Republicans refused to accommodate his sudden demands. Here’s the latest: Trump ally Steven Bannon says Speaker Johnson ‘is not up to the task’ As the speaker twisted Thursday in Washington, his peril was on display at Turning Point USA’s conservative AmericaFest confab, where Trump ally and 2016 campaign architect Steven Bannon stirred thousands with a takedown of the Louisiana Republican. “Clearly, Johnson is not up to the task.

  • Dozens Of House GOPers Defy Trump's Wishes, Vote No On Funding Bill
    Crooks and Liars, 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.

  • Jayapal: Any Govt Shutdown Is On Shadow-President Musk And VP Trump
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 12/20/2024 - 07:23 AM

    Elon Musk, the likely illegal immigrant disqualified from being an elected president because he was not born in the U. 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.

  • GOP-Appointed Appeals Panel Strips Powerful Woman From Case
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 12/20/2024 - 07:22 AM

    Unsurprisingly, a panel of GOP-appointed judges on Thursday stripped Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office from the last remaining criminal case against incoming vice-president Donald Trump. Incoming President Leon Musk could not be reached for comment. The panel concluded that Willis’ one-time romantic relationship with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade constituted a conflict of interest that merited her dismissal from the case.

  • Will Elon Musk's President Cosplay DESTROY Our Democracy?
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 12/20/2024 - 07:20 AM

    I'm so f*king tired of unelected President Elon Musk. I'm tired of him waltzing around Washington like he got one vote. I'm tired of the tool getting up on stages and jumping up in the air like an addled toddler with the self awareness of drywall. And I'm tired of this absolute tool making dangerous, callow, obtuse economic decisions he has no legal right to make.
