    “My phone was ringing off the hook,” said Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky. “The people who elected us are listening to Elon Musk.” … Musk, who is heading Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency, warned that “Any member of the House or Senate who votes for this >outrageous spending bill deserves to be voted out in 2 years!”

    It’s not an idle threat coming from Musk, the world’s richest man, who helped bankroll Trump’s victory and can easily use his America PAC to make or >break political careers.

    “Is this going to be the norm? Is this going to be how we operate?” said Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., putting the blame on Johnson.

    I can’t help but laughing in fright with this level of schadenfreude and yes Josh “Prances like girl form his own rioters” Hawley, this is how you guys are going to operate because you’re shit humans.

        I’m sure the authoritarian mindset always supports authoritarians because they imagine that THEY will be part of the inner circle.

        And they even might be. For a while. Until all the purity tests and purges begin. I’m sure dingalings like Hawley learned sweet fuck-all from historical lessons.

      So, the guy who gave everything short of sieg heil to the terrorists on J6, then was on-camera high-tailing it out of harm’s way when the terrorists got into the building - that guy is whining about the Republican Party being full of Republicans?

      These people, I swear.
