Obviously they ended up here because Musk rolled on Trump with his crazy Tweet so Trump had to come up with the debt ceiling requirement. I wonder, does Mike Johnson ever think things thru? He’s history.

Have we had such a thing as TSF and his drama n chaos. We’ve had wars, civil wars, disagreements n everything in between but since this person has come into our political sphere, it has been constant and every day 💩 and we’re about to start another round! Hold on, Dear ones, we’re all in this deep

Pirates fighting over who gets the biggest slice of the spoils?

The Magarati freaking out because they see they will have to change from a 'no you can't!' political position to one of responsibility and accountability?

- probably a combination of all of the above.

Personally, I can't wait for the official crowning of King Elon and his sidekick, Donald, just to make it clear.
If the inauguration is televised, I won't be watching it. I will be too busy doing something more important - watching paint drying or the lawn growing, haven't decided yet.

I always love to hear about the Ann Rand acolytes forming communities of self-scam.

John Galts aren't needed; leaders are.

Australia isn't very good at living beyond its means . . . current debt is AU$834 billion.
Only 30% of GDP.
Equivalent to AU $ 31K per head.
USA: $102K per-person, for a total of $34.0 trillion.

(Figures aren't really up to date though.)

Australia needs to try harder!
Maybe the government here could give all of us a free car. Or something. /sarcasm

Anyway, just hot air, keep spending!
