By new years the world population will pass 8 billion. For perspective Elmo Musk with his $425 billion personal fortune could offer every human on Earth $53 dollars.
Just a useless factoid
Then there’s Speaker Johnson herding cats.

I call it “1929”. It’s a number at a level that’s never been seen before. A lot of people don’t know this, but I named it “1929”. It’s the highest number in the history of numbers.

Trump’s brain, Musk, will have the answer.

The Democrats’ only offer should be to repeal the debt ceiling entirely and forever. We all know this is the correct policy! Support the correct policy!
The debt is an emergent property of taxes and spending, not some independent variable to be trotted out by Republican hostage takers when it suits them to be the flies in their own ointment.

Hard not to think of Bart (Cleavon Little) in Blazing Saddles holding a gun to his own head, and his unprintable threat to shoot himself.

Trump killed our nation’s economy once.
The nimrods in our electorate decided it’d be best for all of us if he got a chance to kill it again.

If 1929 were a female, he’d grab her by the pussy.

Sounds like the KS resident that challenged that state’s dox on citizenship should have spent the $130.00 to get a US Passport. s/

Yes, the last year of 2020 was a glorious year in American history (Trump’s final year in office). It’s amazing how this was barely an issue in the campaign.

Everything that goes wrong in the next 2 years is Trump’s fault. Just keep saying it and never shut up about it. I’m in the DC media zone and local news tonight was all aflutter about the inaugural balls in January, orgasmic even. Trump got less than 7% of the vote in DC, 34% in MD, and less than 47% in VA. Just stay on message. They broke this, they bought it. I already called NBC4 in DC and told them to knock it the fuck off. Make phone calls, tell your reps and local media to tell the truth. God, I’m so tired.

Wait, let me get this straight. You think because it’s an incredibly stupid and self-destructive thing to do that they won’t just do it anyway? Really? Where have you been for the last decade?

Yeah, but in this remake, the sheriff is white, and the line goes like this:
“Nobody makes a move, or the MAGA gets it! BLAM!”
Fade to black. Roll credits.

Republicans will raise the debt limit and find many other ways to pick our pockets to fund the rich and punish the poor and will blame every bit of it on democrats and the left, SSDD.
