Economy The DOGE effect, collapse of the CR

[cottagecheesefan]

Sorry if this should be merged into the DOGE thread, but I think the politics involved make it deserve its own thread.

Possible government shutdown.

Speaker like Johnson on the ropes.

Democrats forced to defend what the DOGE crew and Trumpland are effectively calling out.

I actually cannot believe this happened, Mike Johnson dropped N over 1500 page continuing resolution that was to be voted on within days. He had said it would be short and simple, but then quickly changed his tune. Adding in a bunch of additional spending and extensions being the CR date

Vivek and Elon (and team) quickly hoped on it, Trump and other influential republicans heard the call and came to action and effectively killed it.

Government could be shut down, or they can just come up with a page long bill continuing current spending, rather than a 1500 page bill lol

Elon and others had several tweets about it over the last 24 hours, without trying to spam too much, these are interesting

 

[cottagecheesefan]

Trump isn’t even president yet, but he may effectively be controlling the government lol, this is amazing to be honest.

Shut down the government or sign a clean CR for 90 days until Trump is in office. You love to see it.

I don’t think any prominent politician on either side can now support it without being questioned. I mean, the farm bill is 200 billion for farmers and 1.3 trillion for food stamps. What is this shit

Wasn't Johnson with Trump at a UFC event just a couple of weeks ago? Now he's already a spineless, traitor, RINO and they are calling for his job.

Yes he was, and MAGA world is happy to call out these people out. He has repeatedly turned on his word and had the excuse that democrats in control, election hadn’t happened yet.

But now that the anvil of MAGA is solidly in place with control of everything, his true colors show and ks being turfed out.

That is populism and actually democracy in effect. You should demand such from your side, right?

The people wanted and elected Trump, political scheming is not what they elected.

i personally love having two billionaire immigrants, one legal, one illegal, tell me we need to stop funding integral infrastructure to give it to israel and fund mass deportations.

Well then it sounds like they are getting fucked because Elon threatening to fund primaries against everyone seems like political scheming.

The fact that you think the US spends $1.3 trillion on food stamps shows what a dumbass and lemming you are.

Come on Bro, they just want to collapse the Government except for the Military, install an autocracy of billionaires making Christian Nationalist mandates for the working class who will be crippled with high costs and low wages as Unions are eradicated due to deregulation (also the reason our food and soil becomes even worse), with a touch of white supremacy to make sure white working class people and minority working class people never unite against them, and then drive up their business costs by assuring we start two more Wars, one with Iran and, for the first time in a long time, with Mexico...which will ASSURE urban combat in US Cities. Wars your idiot kids will be forced to fight because it's the only way out of the orchards and fields they now will work in because 1) they cant afford private school, and the vouchers dont cover things like transportation and food, 2) we deported that entire labor force, and 3) all the good jobs are now gatekept with educational requirements you cant provide for them. Oh and they have to feed those kids they had as teenagers because abortions, pornogrpahy, and contraceptives are now banned, sodomy laws are back being enforced as indecent behavior as well (because we f*ckin hate teh gheyz), so literally the only sexual reprieve the working class gets results in children...children who will shore up that workforce and start picking fruits and vegetables, or working construction or something alongside you when they're 10, because child labor laws are rolled back and your Family cant afford a home without 4 incomes.

Dont tell me this all doesnt sound fun. It's the Great America we're gonna get back!

lol i do actually wonder how many of these government industries are unionized. we were unionized in the postal service, but i don't know how much of the government is. would be interesting to see how many of these layoffs violate the NLRA.

This is literally idiocracy and you are complete retard.

Majority are and DOGE will be sued to the moon and back for trying to mindlessly cut them just because foreign born richest person in the world feels like it. Crazy you MAGAts support this fatass clown meanwhile he gets a big chunk of that “pork” in the tune of 20 billion in welfare for his company spacex. I can guarantee none of his gubment $ will be cut.

Not that they'll care, they'll just have the High Priests on the SCOTUS rule that the NLRA is "unconstitutional"...or Trump will just shred the constituon because "who cares, really? Do you?"

 

[cottagecheesefan]

all eyes on people who get this big mad

i mean that's pretty obviously the goal. i don't think he'll be successful but it's funny watching his nuthuggers pretend this is all just exaggeration

Chalk up another government shutdown to him. LOL at Elon being willing to let Americans suffer, wanting to make cuts that will be tough for years and now even a shutdown that will affect millions, and then claim that it's the voice of the people. Boy oh boy are we in for some interesting times these next four years. And I'll bet no matter how tough it gets for the average American Trump will still be out there milking his base for the last nickel out of their pockets.

 

[Poon Goon]

If the guy is such a bottom feeder why is a congressman bothering to respond to him? Also, why is a congressman talking like a hardcore 12 year old calling someone a "fucking incel" and "fucking piece of shit"?

Political scheming is what you're getting and you're lapping it up.
