Elon Musk To Western NC: "Drop Dead!"

 

One oligarch to rule them all

The co-president-elect Elon Musk has threatened any Republican who votes for the funding bill to keep the government functioning past Friday, a bill that contains $100 billion in desperately needed hurricane relief for Western North Carolina, East Tennessee, and other places wrecked by Helene.

Musk, sometimes boosting false claims on X, the social media site he owns, trashed the [compromise bill negotiated by House Speaker Mike Johnson which contains emergency hurricane aid] in an hours-long tirade, calling it “terrible,” “criminal,” “outrageous,” “horrible,” “unconscionable,” “crazy” and, ultimately, “an insane crime.”[WashPost]

All but 2 democrats voted against the new bill which contained disaster relief. The loss of the disaster relief funds is on the DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Dumpy he jus' has a l'il bit o'money and he old and soft with a baking tater prostate.
He permanently and totally im'potant.
So he gotta get a younger feller (53) wif a bigger, longer money to do the heavy humpin' fo' him. So now old hound dog shifts his bromance onto
a billionaire hotty, tongue hangin' out drippin' slobbers.
If Musky Boy say, "Pee on food stamps, and poop on the budget, no aid,
let private capital own the mountains"
Then he (old hound dog) go right on an' do it, then come back waggin' his tail.

The republicans have taught the DEMOCRATIC PARTY how bipartisanship is employed.

38 republicans voted against their own bill. You left that part out.

And 9 didn't vote. That still does not change the fact that only 2 out of 211 Democrats voted for disaster relief and keeping the government open.

Is that an argument?

Trump wins again! The Continuing resolution bill went from over 1,500 pages to less than 150, got every Democrat to vote for it and it was agreed to by the White House. THAT"S leadership!

You wouldn't know leadership if it started an insurrection.
