Mike Pence, The Next Irish American President? (irishcentral)

Trump and Musk blew up the bipartisan deal to prevent a government shutdown before Christmas, now we've got Republicans eating their own and Hannity trying to tell us a government shutdown isn't really that bad. GOP Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley made an appearance on Sean Hannity's show on Fox this Wednesday, and here's the spin they're tying to put on this debacle and the damage Trump, Musk and Republicans are going to inflict on our economy before Trump even takes office. They know full well Trump plans to blow up the deficit with more massive tax cuts as soon as he takes office, which will mean the debt ceiling will need to be raised, and they're trying to pin the need to raise it next year.

Now that President (non-elect) Musk has blown up the carefully negotiated continuing resolution to keep the government open, VP-Elect Trump is doing is best to preserve what little power he has by imploring Democrats to get rid of the debt ceiling entirely. Writing on his money laundering site Truth Social site, Trump called for Democrats to end the "mess of the debt limit" entirely for his four years. If Republicans try to pass a clean Continuing Resolution without all of the Democrat “bells and whistles” that will be so destructive to our Country, all it will do, after January 20th, is bring the mess of the Debt Limit into the Trump Administration, rather than allowing it to take place in the Biden Administration.

Nothing is ever going to make it better, Jill. Have at it.

Grab the popcorn because the Democrats are going full cannibal.

The “politics as usual” crowd was prepared to use a Trojan horse procedure to force a grotesque, irresponsible spending bill on the American people.

Left-Wing Authoritarianism (LWA) is now a psychologically-recognized condition.
