Predictably, the MAGAs are calling for Musk to become speaker. They know the constitution won't allow him to be president, right? Or is that when the suspend the constitution?

Seriously. Musk has an overinflated ego and no qualifications whatsoever to have a say on public policy matters. The sooner he pisses off Trump the better.

I’m not so sure Trump can put the genie back in his bottle. At this point Leon has more power than him - he’s got more followers and a bigger platform. Trump has given away his power to Leon and Leon’s not going to hand it back easily - if at all

Well, maybe Trump will piss of Elon? Give me some hope, people.

Elon would be a great Speaker.

Musk is even worse at working with other people and reaching consensus than Johnson is. A lot worse.

What in his background and experience makes you think that he would be good at getting hundreds of men with competing egos and interests on the same page?

It's the other way around. Trump likes people until he doesn't and then they are dead to him. When he gets tired of Musk, that will be the end of all of this.

Well, for what it’s worth, oligarchy is finally out in the open. We all knew for a long time moneyed interests steered our politics and policy, they just gave us lip service about “kitchen table issues”. Now they aren’t even hiding it. Trump made it happen. Yay for Trump. Swamp up front and personal. While you all were so up in arms about stupid cultural war, they stole the country from under you. This brazenness only means they know they’ve won and are sure they will never lose again.

mm I don't think it matters if he pisses off Trump. He bought Trump. Everyone will have to bow down to King Musk.

Meanwhile Americans are suffering and the GOP wants to go for pointless sound bites.

Most interesting is how much help the democrats will provide. Hope they let the GOP own it.

GOP has never and will never care about the American people.

What do Democrats care about the American people?

Under Biden, they stabilized a crashing economy, got vaccines out to anyone who wanted them, repairs broken supply chain issues and got massive investments in roads, bridges, ports, rural high speed internet and healthcare.

Something will pass by Friday because Congress wants to go home. They will find an excuse to give Trump the middle finger and Trump will accept it because his a weak, lame duck and Musk will Xhit some lies and we'll all move on.

I doubt it. Trump shut the government down right before Christmas in 2018 for 5 weeks. He isn’t even President yet, and somehow these fools are letting him run the show. How is that going to look in the history books? “The GOP followed the President-ELECT’s lead and shut down the government for…. Costing the government $XX… “ It’s so stupid.

Trump will say "it happened under Biden" and his idiot followers with a 5th grade education will cheer it on.

Then President Doge will convince Rs in Congress to raise the debt ceiling to bankrupt the country like every Trump company, and his idiot followers will cheer him on.

They can try, but all the headlines say right now that TRUMP wanted to shut it down.

Trump will muzzle the press by suing them for speaking inconvenient truths like that.

This. We’re going to need a separate thread for his media lawsuits.
