  • 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.

    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.

    The Daily Dot, Friday - 12/20/2024 - 07:20 AM

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.
