And when Trump realizes it, which will be when people start to get pissed (and that shit isn't far away) then their breakup will be made for Bravo

How many Scaramucis before the breakup? 10? 20? Does he make through 2025 unscathed?

I would think a required part of any federal government job at this point in time is a solid line of credit. Shutdowns are now a feature, not a bug, of federal government employment. I would highly recommend leaving federal employment if you do not have access to credit for these shutdowns.
 
“… Johnson has not outlined a backup plan, and multiple people familiar with the real-time conversations said the next step remains unclear, as leaders would need significant support from both parties — and Trump — to pass a funding extension.

If Congress doesn’t extend the deadline, most federal operations would shut down at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, though the effects of a shutdown wouldn’t fully kick in until Monday.

Trump has asked to keep certain measures Johnson supports, like aid for farmers and natural disaster survivors, but also demanded the House ditch items that Democrats negotiatied.

He has also requested that Republicans extend the suspension of the debt ceiling, a limit on how much the U.S. government can borrow, which is set to expire early in his new term next year. …”

 
So, I guess Trump is threatening to shut it down until Inauguration Day if he can?

And Trump wants to eliminate the debt ceiling now?

Well, for anyone who has been claiming that now we will see a Trump unfettered by the Deep State show us how the government should be run, like a business, here we are.

I'm not leaving a job I just started a month ago. The benefits far outweigh the negative shit that will go on but that still doesn't mean I'm happy about not being paid!

Oh I have enough credit to survive just fine it's just the shittery of the fuckers in Congress that have me irritated AF.

OK, fair enough. But you'll eventually be paid with back interest, correct?
I mean, it is a completely insane way for an employer to treat its employees, but you had to have known this was an inherent problem with any federal job in this day and age prior to taking the job. There are a lot of benefits of federal employment, but one of the big drawbacks is that you need to be prepared to go without a salary for three months -- on basically an annual basis. Consistency of a paycheck can no longer be guaranteed for federal employees.

That’s a feature and not a bug of GOP governance.
 
Welp, as I federal contractor I would be out of work and I wouldn't get any wages restored (unlike the feds). So yay me. Merry Christmas, y'all.

Musk has effectively executed a hostile takeover of the United States. He will answer to no one and each time his will is challenged, he will threaten to spend millions on opposition to every Republican who does not fold to him. He doesn't have to go through with it because having to combat the endless coffers and social media influence of Musk is nightmare fuel to every House member. Further, with the House so close, most of the time he won't have to move very many members to make it completely untenable. Johnson won't even bring anything forward without Musk's approval.

Since Musk doesn't have to care about voters, he is going to touch every traditional political third rail and laugh about it. It is going to get bumpy quick.

The only real question is what Trump will do about it, if anything. Musk is far smarter than Trump and despite his awkwardness, he is far more charismatic than every other wannabe Trump/MAGA heir. Musk has an aura about him that people worship. When we were debating what smart politician would take over after Trump on the right and be able to pull the same shit...no one saw Musk coming. He's a fucking tool who will go to any length to get what he wants regardless of the consequences. If someone showed credible evidence that Musk messed with voting, I wouldn't even doubt it for a nanosecond.

Billionaire immigrant declares himself the voice of the American people and the voice of God, apparently. Is he high? Probably!

Cost him a fraction of the cost he paid for Twitter.
