Came here to say this. They’re effectively dismantling the government anyway. This is in no way changing the trajectory. In fact government employees who would be impacted by the shutdown and the dismantling were pleading with Schumer to shut it down. Not only that but Trump and Republicans would have owned the shut down because it is on their watch that it would have happened. Additionally, everything they’re doing including doge is wildly unpopular so it would have shown the American people that democrats oppose it. But now Democrats just look like they’re abetting this dismantling of the federal government and they look spineless, weak, and rudderless. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Would have been nice if he did this during the CR vote or any one of the atrocious trump appointees. This is isn’t stopping any senate business.

Leopard eating face moment for Tesla.

This is just someone asserting that it’s possible. They also brought up Elon’s pivot right before it came out that he exposed himself to a flight attendant.

Meanwhile Democrats are lining up Rham Emanuel and Gavin Newsom to run. Lol

The fact that he’s throwing trans folks under the bus, banning hemp THC, and interviewing the most vile right wingers on his new podcast, is something that (someone else brought this up on bluesky) could mean he’s trying to get ahead of incoming allegations.

Hasbarists are really the best at showing their asses without even knowing they’re doing it.

Sounds very much like a “final solution” if you catch my drift.

The fact that this is what it took is about as indicative of power decline and descent into straight up fascism as it gets. If Trump didn’t run in like a bull in the China shop, I’m fairly certain, it wouldn’t have gone negative.

James Carville is a person nobody should take advice from ever again.

Of course. Because the Democrats had time to prepare for this. To feign some kind of acknowledgement of understanding for why they lost and they’re just deer in the headlights. Completely paralyzed by the moment.

Dude looks like baron Harkonnen.

This, wedged between the US brand of isolationism of pulling out of climate accords, WHO, and the impending tarrifs are going to be much worse than anything brexit did. The US is looking at a complete collapse in the world ushered in by the incompetence of liberalism and the nihilism of tech oligarchy.

Meanwhile democrats expend more energy fighting the left than they do the fascists on the right. We’re truly fucked. Can’t wait for performative kneeling.

The down votes are living in absolute denial.

I think for people like me, the biggest fuck you was from Obama. He ran on hope and change. He ran on at least a public option. And he went into the office and literally shut down the ground operation that swept him into his position and then basically spent 8 years appeasing Republicans despite the fact that people wanted transformational change. That’s why they picked him over Clinton. He delivered Romneycare, bank bailouts, and drone wars.

There’s a shit ton of liberal denial on this. Trump did make it happen. Not because Netenyahu bent the knee to Trump. But because Trump bullied Netenyahu. And had Biden not been a psychopath, he could have picked up the phone and stopped the senseless slaughter of Palestinians on day one.

This is not to say that things are still going to be extremely bleak for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza but Democrats fumbled the ball on this and ensured themselves a loss.

Fuck Biden for not making this happen right away. There is now evidence in the polling that people stayed home because of Biden enabling this Nazi style extermination.

Lol. Should of done it year one. This is just optics that nobody is buying.

That’s because the economy is wholly disconnected from the real lives of working Americans. Aside from 401k, job gains could just be shifting around of people from job to job. If you are in the job market, it still feels grim. The cost of groceries, energy, housing, healthcare, schooling still remain high. And that’s what Americans really experience. A reduction in inflation doesn’t mean prices went down, it just means the increases slowed down by 2.7%. And the fact that democrats are completely incapable or unwilling to have this conversation, is why democrats continue to lose enthusiasm every time there’s an incumbent democrat election. Obama was an exception because of how skilled a politician he was and how weak the Republican opposition was at the time.
