Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Anybody have any idea what they're trying to hide with this puppet show? Is the big bill getting too much attention or is it something else?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think you're giving them too much credit. I'm pretty sure this really is just a senile old man feuding with a ketamine addict.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago (3 children)

It can and likely is both.

I really loathe narcistic billionaires and hate paying any attention to them at all. But 2 narcisstic billionaires fighting each other? That I like to watch.

Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long.

My wife was sure Musk wouldn’t make it past March.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I’m sure we are wanting this for very different reasons.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

If anyone could make a conviction happen, it's Musk. He need only threaten to fund primary challengers for 10 Republicans in the house and ~15 senators.

He's got the money to do it.

The hornet’s nest has been kicked now

There's some major schadenfreude in this, but never forget all of the damage that DOGE did to the government & countless numbers of its loyal employees.
