@kurteichenwald Don't be so easy on the GOP! They supported him, & enable him still. They could pass a bill & send it to him to either sign or veto. They could even override his veto if they wanted. They're waiting for him to tell them what to do, rather than just doing what should be done.
The out of touch billionaire running the incoming Trump Administration announced last night that he enthusiastically supports the neo-Nazi party in Germany.
WTF.
NONE OF THIS IS OK, EVERYONE.
NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.
Important from Sen Chris Murphy: He says Dems are not functioning as an effective opposition to Trump's accelerating authoritarianism right now, and that this is dangerously complacent.
We had a long exchange about this. In these 4 screen caps:

Trump is intimidated by President Elon. Now he has his spokesperson out doing damage control cause Elon is calling the shots.
Trump was silent on the bill until his boss, President Elon, spoke.
@metzgov "As soon as President Musk released his official stance on the CR, Republicans on Capitol Hill, including Trump, echoed his point of view. President Musk is the leader of the Republican Party. Full stop."
@joseaxelrod@S_Pedian@TheTNHoller@mcuban You can't make any comparisons to Trump given that Trump's entire presidency is outside the scope of this graph! And also given that, even if the rest of the 2010 decade were included, it would be averaged in with Obama from 2010-2020 anyway.
@mjprogue @HegelwCrmCheese When did Trump ever say anything about pardoning Hunter?
And Biden didn't "hand" Trump anything. The pardon power belongs to the presidency. Biden didn't create a new power that Trump can now use. Trump was already President once & even pardoned Charles Kushner, Jared's father.
@blackopsposter@chellelaine@LukewSavage You actively worked against Harris, who was the only boss alternative to Trump, yet you claim you didn't want Trump to win. Hurting Harris can only help Trump, & vice versa.
And you claim *I* don't understand how voting works?!
All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health
@VABVOX@SteveRattner@Morning_Joe But wait, there's more!
They want to cut gov't spending to offset massive tax cuts to themselves! They're looting the Treasury & calling it "efficiency"!
The only "efficiency" they'll actually achieve is the most efficient heist in history.
@pete_gideon @JamesSurowiecki And would it be more or less efficient to just have a single set of regs to comply w, or to have federal regs, state regs, & different rules imposed by each insurer, that all need to be complied with, & which sometimes probably even contradict each other?
