Originally published at: Man Who Tried To Lawlessly Do Congress’ Job For It Criticizes ‘Pork-Filled’ Bill
Black-eyed and officially, allegedly on the outskirts of the Trump administration, Elon Musk is saying more about his recently discovered objections to the reconciliation package that passed the House last month and will make sweeping cuts to Medicaid if it makes its way through the Senate. The world’s richest man is, of course, not bothered…

In my opinion, the TACO trucks must roll every time the First Felon Who Would Be King reverses himself. So, get several of them on contract, since they’ll be out at least once a week.
Democrats need to get savvy with the infotainment talking heads. Take a page from the late, supposedly great John McCain: feed 'em! Every TACO day, hold a press conference with tacos for the media. It’s cheaper than teevie ads, right?
Keep riding the TACO train until the next big thing, or even beyond, if it keeps paying off. How long did Republicans hound the late Ted Kennedy over Chappaquddick? (Look it up, kids) Even after his death, if memory serves.
And drop the flagellation of Joe Biden! It’s beating a dead horse, making you look worse, and leaving the Big Booty-filled Target – trump – untouched. Cut it out. Seriously – what do you care about the book sales of some alleged “reporter” who saved up all the good stuff for a couple of years so he could make money selling books?

I’m with Governor Walz. Time to fight back. I won’t say time to get mean because it’s only mean if they don’t deserve it. They deserve a punch in the nose.

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk wrote on Twitter Tuesday. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”
“It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden American citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt,” he added.
Lord Musk continued " Of course, I pay no taxes, but that darn budget deficit is a very, very bad thing. There’s nothing I could do about it. " Then he gathered his bundle of no-bid government contracts, and left the podium. The press slavishly reported his words of wisdom as he kicked a labradoodle on his way out.

Josh Divine with all his book learning hasn’t figured out that “freedom of religion” doesn’t mean what he thinks it means.

It took me a while to figure it out, but I’ve finally decoded “MAGA-speak”.
For the longest time I was puzzled by what appeared to be blatant contradictions in their phrasology, but then I realized that what they do, repeatedly and continuously, is use a single word, having truncated the rest of a longer phrase.
Here are some examples:
“Freedom!”: This is shorthand for “Freedom to tell you what to do!”
“DEI”: This is shorthand for “Let’s call it DEI because I’m not allowed to us n**ger any more…”
“WOKE!”: This is shorthand for “I just WOKE up and have no idea what anybody is talking about, and it’s making me feel queazy!”
And so on, und so weiter, et comme ça.
Now, you may being asking yourself why they would do such silliness, but the answer is obvious - we’re dealing with people here who can’t form full sentences, even in their head! 
So, additional entries to the above list are welcomed, so we can get the full dictionary sorted out in time for the upcoming special election season!

To be fair, they also didn’t report Noem calling out - “Hey, why didn’t you just shoot it!?!”

I keep harping on the word “of”, which could mean freedom to choose which religion one follows, but “of” can also be “from”.

Trump’s crew can’t even do a competent job of being corrupt. Boss Tweed would have fired all of these guys.

Since they are in the mood to rename everything from the Golf to US navy ships I have a suggestion:
Donald J Trump Metropolitan Sewer Treatment Plant
for all the sewer clowns especially the head honcho.

Facing plummeting Tesla sales, unflattering headlines about drug use and after only bringing about a mere fraction of the trillions he promised to cut in federal spending,
Don’t overlook his mass impregnations. A very unchristian behavior.

I’ve always understood it to mean everybody is free to follow any religion or none. The First Amendment doesn’t require us to have printing presses or even guns

Trump uses truncated phrases when he is hinting about things but wants to be able to say ‘I didn’t say that!’ later if it turns out to be unpopular.

From the Guardian…

The former head of Doge said the ‘outrageous’ tax bill will cause the deficit to grow to $2.5tn

If I agree with Elmo then the world has truly gone nutz

It appears Musk’s beef with the spending bill — which will raise the debt ceiling and also gut other social safety net programs like SNAP for the purpose of making Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, that mostly benefited the wealthy, permanent
I wish reporters would stop describing these tax cuts as “permanent.” They can be rescinded by another Congress and president, so are not permanent. They differ from the tax cuts in Trump’s first administration in that they are not set to expire by a specified date.

Something blue with white lettering would be nice.
