Summary
Elon Musk played a key role in derailing a bipartisan stopgap bill to fund the U.S. government, using his influence on social media to oppose the compromise reached by Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and Democrats.
Musk’s criticism sparked growing Republican resistance, later echoed by Donald Trump. The resulting failure exposed deep divisions within the GOP, complicating Johnson’s leadership and future legislative efforts.
Democrats mocked Musk’s influence, while some Republicans expressed frustration.
The incident highlights challenges facing Trump’s narrow House majority, with instability threatening legislative priorities and potential governance deadlock.

The whole world is gonna rejoice when Musk get Luigi’d, while the oligarchs — plus the govs and MSM they own — scream “senseless act of terrorism”.
Motherfucker needs to get put in his fucking place.
Fertilizer for a field.
Fertilizer is actually useful. I wouldn’t put Musk in the same category as fertilizer.
Backfill
From a certain point of view, you are 100% correct.
From a different point of view, he’s a person with meat and blood held together with a fleshy bag thing, and propped up by calcium sticks. Or “inefficient bag of mostly water” if you wish.
Not everybody is useful. Every body can be good fertilizer.
I don’t think hgh and ketamine are good for plants. His corpse would be just as useless as he is
Republicans have always been good at flinging shit around and just in general preventing anything useful from happening, the only difference now is that for the GOP the call is coming from inside the house. In the past they’ve used their obstructionism as a weapon to hurt Democrats trying to actually make the government function, but now they’ve got a bunch of whiny toddlers throwing temper tantrums while they’re trying to accomplish things and the shoe is on the other foot. There’s a certain delicious irony in seeing the same assholes that pulled this crap during the Obama administration suddenly be subjected to the same thing by the monsters they created.
Ahh my sweet naive Icarus. Getting warm?
We coined the term twitler far too early.
Anybody wanna join up and secede from the union? Maybe if we just keep to ourselves the Federal government won’t even notice.
We should just call it and break up into fifty nations organized like the EU. Poorer red states would start merging left and right in an attempt at economic survival, like Arkabamasippiana. At that point we could reconsider uniting as a nation with proportional representation. Lol

Sounds good to me.
I would actually be okay with us breaking up into 50 nations.
I’m sure the people that voted for donvict (or sat out) because of the price of eggs are going to find that elmo and donvict are going to be working for them…
