Bullshit like this is why I’m not as worried as I was about another Trump Presidency. The man is a senile clusterfuck. Even worse now. Yet they all have to kow-to to him.
I had thought the fascists would be more organized, and they are! But they still have to bend the knee to Trump, who is a clusterfuck. I can’t see them doing too much worse than Trump stacking the SCOTUS.
They realize Trump isn’t president yet right? Well, to be honest, he should be in prison, but we apparently don’t know how to put anybody in prison that isn’t poor, black, a woman, or god forbid, all of the above.
He might as well be. Americans keep voting for Republicans in the House and Senate. Trump has the RNC by the balls and will have any Republican who goes against his wishes replaced with the next primary and none of those still in office have the balls to risk their gravy train by going against him.
I still feel like Dark Brandon should totally invite them over for a “transition dinner” and do a few “official acts” and then explain how trump is a Russian Stooge and a Traitor.
Then resign, let Kamala pardon him and retire off into the sunset.
But he won’t cuz he still thinks it’s then70’s and there’s still decency in politics.
SCOTUS handed Biden a loaded gun, Sotomayor told him where to point it, and all he’s going to do is just meekly hand it off to Trump, a man who will not hesitate to use it on all his own political rivals.
So Musk was literally like “no, don’t give Democrats (the party I pretended to support for years) any wins, you need to not negotiate” and then congress just rolled with that.
And now they are just gonna do that while they control congress for at least 2 years because Musk has no idea how government is different from him running a business
I agree. If the republican party controls the white house and both chambers of Congress, they don’t need to negotiate with democrats to pass a budget. So there’s absolutely no reason to have a government shutdown. Unless you like stiffing government employees, I guess.
That’s the point.
Musk already got his NASA contract money for SpaceX, Tesla and so forth. He wants to keep the money despite his rocket programs literally blowing up in everyone’s faces
The easiest way to do that is to shutdown the government employees who run NASA, SEC, NHTSA and so forth.

What are you yapping about?
- SpaceX is the most prolific space company in recent history, performing a launch every 3 days on average.
- Falcon 9 is the most reliable launch system in in world.
- Besides the 60 year old Soyuz, Dragon is the only human certified spacecraft capable of delivering crews to and from the ISS.
- Starship is the largest rocket prototype -and manmade object- to leave the atmosphere.
And they did all this in the last 10 years.
Shitting on SpaceX just because Elon’s name is attached to it, -trendy as it may be right now- is dismissing the work of the engineers who made all this possible.
And no, I’m not sucking Elon’s dick.
In fact, the only reason SpaceX works well is because, allegedly, there’s a wall of people shielding the company from Elon’s batshit insanity. If it wasn’t for them, he would have ran it to the ground already.
All of that was paid for my tax dollars, and costs far more than what NASA would have paid to do it.
Do you think SpaceX operates an R&D division of astrophysicists to figure out how space travel even works?
SpaceX in its short lifetime has had more catastrophic failures more often than the entire history of NASA. Had anything similar happened at NASA, they would have been closed down or had their budget slashed.
Also the incident with the rushed shodily-built Launchpad that disintegrated damaging properties all around is still being litigated against SpaceX.
We would have been better off funding NASA with a fraction of spacex’s funding. And would have been safer as well. SpaceX has done nothing that NASA couldn’t have done had we funded it.
