We can speculate all day about the potential perils of shutting down the government vs. give Trump/Elon a blank check CR to decimate it all, including our social security and Medicaid.
It's a simpler choice.
We can either go down fighting on our feet or compliant on our knees.
I want the fight.

Trump WANTS a recession
Billionaires pay for politicians, SCOTUS seats, lobbyists etc.
Ask yourself why billionaires want you to believe the government is more corrupt than the billionaires who pay for it?
Billionaires chomping at the bit to buy your house in a recession. Pay attention.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

Is it just me, or has Trump replaced JD Vance with Elon as his Vice -Pres? Vance seems to have to kiss not only Trumps butt, but also Elon's. Vance is trying so hard to appear relevant that it's painful to watch. His theatrics at the Zelensky meeting was a desperate plea for, "look at me Trump"
