Democrat threatens to shut down the government if Elon Musk and DOGE continue to ‘undermine the American people’
By Olivia Murray

Oh this is just too good—Democrats are now threatening to shut down the government and withhold funding if Elon Musk and DOGE continue to operate because as they’ve said time and again, “Nobody voted for Elon Musk.”

Except that we did, because Musk was absolutely a fixture alongside President Trump on the campaign trail, and I don’t know a Trump voter who didn’t want the new administration uncovering waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption. Seriously, how can these people keep saying this with a straight face? You know who and what we didn’t vote for though? Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Tampon Tim, the hundreds of unconstitutional federal agencies currently operating, Anthony Fauci, James Comey, John Brennan, George Soros, etc.

Here’s the story, from a report at Breitbart News yesterday:

    Representative Val Hoyle (D-OR) said on Monday on CNN’s “News Central” that Democratic lawmakers will not vote to fund the government if Republicans are advancing President Donald Trump’s agenda, which ‘undermines the American people.’

    [snip]

    Hoyle said, ‘I think Hakeem Jeffries, I do trust him to be, you know, our — he is our leader and we will use whatever power we have. They will need Democratic votes to pass this budget. And fundamentally we’re not going to vote for something that undermines the American people.’

First of all, does Hoyle realize the irony? Musk isn’t taking a paycheck, and he’s sleeping on the floor of the office, declining to charge the taxpayer for hotel rooms or a D.C. rental. He’s one of just two people I know working for free in D.C. (the other being President Trump who broke the mold and makes it a point to donate his presidential salary each pay period.) Even if the Democrats do shut the government down, Musk will still be showing up to work.

Dimocrats control zero branches of the government.  Just how do they think they can do this without violent means??//

May be enough to let Maxine screech.  But only if Jasmine follows her up with some spicy cuss words

Maybe they can just keep railing against  Testicles.  Seems to be their strategy.

Let them.
When they make their putsch, just...
... step out of the way.

Will be interesting to see the results.

I triple dog dare you.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
