Every single aspect to him is flaccid. 95% of these pussies need to be slammed with primaries in two years.
Schumer's argument has been that shutting down the Government is what Musk and Trump want. By extending the funding, the two would continue to have to go in to close various departments. I do not necessarily agree with Shumer's point, but I can understand where he is coming from.
That might be a valid position in some bygone "starve the beast" era of Republican politics, where the only thing at stake was funding levels of various agencies. What Schumer is missing is the far greater danger of the current Republican brand of fascism, in which the enabling powers granted to the President in the CR are far more dangerous than the pain of a government shutdown. As a more cynical political exercise, there's no world in which an electorate that blames the President for everything from gas prices to eggs would forgo blaming the office for a government shutdown, and instead heap the blame on the minority party in Congress. Have some fucking balls, Chuck.
US: "We want Greenland." Norway: "lol" US: "we're going to take Greenland... we have soldiers there, we'll send more..." Norway: "fuck off" US: "Fine. We need eggs, send us your eggs." Norway: "Are you retarded?"
10 Democrats broke ranks and voted for cloture on the CR bill, at the same time Trump was at the DOJ delivering an openly fascistic speech. Absolutely pathetic and inexcusable.
Apparently Musk's grandfather was a believer of the Technocracy movement. Looking at what DODGE is doing through that lens explains a lot. I can also see where aspects of it would appeal to Trump's fantasy of returning the US to a modern robber barron Gilded Age. It also explains the acquire Greenland and "make Canada a state" rhetoric.

You know for a group that hates government not telling how people should live their lives, they sure like telling people how to live their lives.
It’s almost like a bunch of cranky old religious people are in the position to enact laws about shit they don’t like. Almost.
The Democrats are about to have their own Tea Party movement because the middling fucking dinosaurs who still have the keys are too lazy to care about shit anymore. Fortunately for the few democrats who still have a spine, a lot of these people fall into the same category as Trump and McConnell— where they are card-carrying members of the People Who Will Be Dead Soon.
DOGE and FURRIES. Just like in 2013. I'm pretty sure we did all died or git conquered by aliens in 2012 and life has been a simulation since then.
