Don't be a hippie. Elon Musk provides thousands of good paying jobs for AMERICAN citizens. A stadium is a friggin stadium 

I'd rather give my money to an Elon Musk 

Again not sure the circumstances of the stadium stuff but that does provide a lot of cheddar to all involved! Builds up an area where it is, makes a destination, etc.

I am all for businesses getting tax breaks BTW

I'll be honest....not going to delve into multiple pages of responses....just here to recognize a complete douchnozzle.

Actually the Republicans did since they have the majority.  30 Republicans voted against it.

I'll ask you the same thing I asked two of your brethren, who refused to answer:

Quote

How many Dems voted against it, and what percentage of each party voted for/against?

And it was 38.  Learn to read or something. GutterAlias

You didn't answer any of my questions.  Not surprised.

I gave you the link to answer all your questions. I’m not your errand boy

The point is that the majority didn’t get this deal through and a number of their own party jumped on board against it.

The shtick that Elon / Trump didn’t kill the bill that was ready to pass is good stuff

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OMG-government shut down!   the Horror.   shut it down.  big to do over nothing.  everyone will get paid.  nobody is thrown on the street.  retired people get their S.S. & medicare.  Ooops, I can't go to the federal park for a few weeks.  Disaster!

And a number of the other party voted for it.  So what?  I got news for you.  That happens with just about EVERY bill.   That's why you look at how many and use, wait for it.....critical thinking when determining why a bill didn't pass.  The fact that almost ALL of the Dems voted against this is the reason this bill didn't pass, not the fact that a fairly small percentage of Republicans voted against it.  HTH.

These guys really are clowns.  They didn't pass our bill - It's their fault.  We didn't pass their bill - It's their fault.

Then you shouldn't have denounced Trump/Elon/Vivek/GOP for opposing last night's bill.  They opposed all the pork in the bill.  Be consistent.  If you understand why the Dems opposes this simply extension of the status quo then you should understand why the GOP opposed the bill last night.  That's why you're a hack.  Your bias is clear and you look for any reason to denounce Trump/GOP and any reason to excuse the same behavior from the Dems.

The GOP didn't oppose the bill last night.  The GOP members in Congress negotiated with the Democrats and they agreed on a bill.  Then musk didn't like it and we know the rest.

This bill had a 2 year no limit and lots of reps didn't want that, both r and d.

This is all fine. What started this off is that we are here at this point because Trump and Elon killed the deal that would have been passed. You seemed to think this was impossible or something.

Tell me why it's bad. Knowing full well how corruptable all politicians are.  Think any special interest or lobbying group could buy Musk like they do to politicians today?

You immediately laugh without at least thinking and considering

Hmmm.   Well lets see. Most politicians are bought by big pharma, oil, unions, corporations.  I get your concern about someone having an agenda, but why is Musk laughable in this case?  How is he any worse than what we have now, yet you laugh at the idea?

Gonna be a long 4 years gutterboy, might wanna pace yourself....

Might as well go full nuts since we elected Trump twice. Fock it put Elon in Speaker spot. Put Chuck E Cheese on the Supreme Court. My wife and I are set and have no kids. Let’s get crazy

Because he has no idea what he's doing, no govt experience, and it's just corruption waiting to happen.  What is wrong with you?

My personal wealth almost doubled. I’m pretty happy with how last four years worked out.

Hopefully bozo the orange clown and his collection of dipshet nuthuggers can do as well!

Oh my.  You really believe government is this wonderful world of no corruption, where politicians are dedicated civil servants who just wanna do the right thing?

Its literally nothing like that there.  

As far as he has no idea what hes doing and has no govt experience. Yeah ok. But hes smart as fock.  There is no way anyone can deny that.  The govt experience?  To me that is knowing how the processes work.  Pretty sure he could out negotiate a gigantic percentage of congress. There are plenty of other politicians who can help with that.

So i ask again.  You laughed at his nane being mentioned and i acknowledged your issues, however i countered with theyre no different than what's there now.  So whats so laughable about him taking that role?

Please please remember that just because someone gets elected to office, it doesn't mean they are automatically smarter than everyone else

Yeah, they could never put that in an actual budget next session. I guess they stop researching now.
