    I haven’t kept up with the plot this season. Trump’s nemesis is still Biden right? Or did Obama somehow return?

      It’s a Republican that’s not voting how trump wants, specifically the budget.

      So trump made an entire PAC to primary him, now Musk is backing him against Trump’s pac.

      And apparently Musk is gonna make a 3rd party if the budget passes?

      Which would be amazing. If Musk and Trump both have their own parties, it just splits the Republican vote. Regardless of policy, no one is switching from D to either of those asshats.

        It won’t split the GOP vote, though. Musk already went down this path a few weeks ago and literally every politician sided with Trump. For all the money he has, the only political influence he ever had was through Trump. Nobody in the GOP cared about or even liked the guy beyond that.

          No, you’re right …

          I completely forgot money doesn’t play a roll in the American political system

          /S

          Like, what kind of logic are you using that makes you think money just doesn’t fucking matter?

          Especially in Republican primaries?

          I dunno, maybe there’s some I missed, but what you just said…

            Did you pay any attention to the last time Musk tried this? It was only a couple of weeks ago that he threatened virtually the same thing: To make an anti-Trump conservative party in order to take him on. And the entire GOP basically laughed in his face, many of them openly to the press. Lose the backhanded sarcasm, it’s neither funny nor impressive.

              No, no…

              Clearly you’re right! How the fuck could I think that Republican politicians could be bought*.

              Those great upstanding citizens who always put their personal profit last.

        Well, hopefully very few. I mean, not that long ago, we had the whole Jill Stein thing…

          If Stein had never run, there’s a percentage of Greens who would’ve voted Democrat instead.

          I think there’s a huge difference between what Greens and Democrats think that percentage is.

      In Obama II: Birth Certificate Boogaloo, they find the long form version of the birth certificate and he becomes Super Kenyan, where he eats all the dogs and cats in the neighborhood before pretending he will get single payer health care passed.

      If he tries to run a third term, I always thought it would be hilarious if Obama ran against him. Like, he’d absolutely win.
