Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) brought what he called a "d--- pic" of "President Elon Musk" to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) subcommittee hearing on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE)."I find it ironic, of course, that our chairwoman, Congresswoman Greene, is in charge of running this comm...

    Need more of this. Get Trump so butt-hurt that he kicks Elon to the curb. Then Elon can throw a tantrum and they can split their base.

      Unfortunately this won’t work, unlike the other people who he kicked, Phony Stark has money.

      You now see muskov next to resolution desk almost all the time.

        Given their rampant disregard for the law as-is, what’s stopping Trump from kicking Musk out and just taking his money/assets? Is that somehow too flagrant?

          I imagine he would have no mechanism for doing that as Musk’s wealth is mostly tied up in investments and shit, and what isn’t, is probably in off shore accounts.

            Could Elmo be prosecuted for being an illegal immigrant.

            This is the kind of DOJ weaponization I can get behind

          If he starts touching rich people’s assets he’s gonna piss off every powerful person in the country, ideology be damned.

        Trump is unhinged and completely self-absorbed. He probably means to keep Elon at his side for the next 4 [plus] years but he does speak off the cuff nearly all the time. Get him really annoyed and pissed off and I bet Trump will “forget his place” and either talk down to Elon or fire him outright. Make a crack and watch it grow.

    Need to keep this up. Not that, in itself, it accomplished anything, but staying silent legitimizes this bullshit.

    Was good until the last a minor part. That kind of undercut the whole thing.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
