      Think about how effecrive they could have been before the election.

      Instead the Dems played patty cakes with the republican party.

        They literally didnt even have majority. They were tied because independents caucused with Dems and VP broke the tie. You literally cannot pass any laws if the opposition decides to filibuster, unless you have supermajority.

        Then they lost the house.

      Are they though? I feel like they just make those that found Trump and Elon to be really weird and rotten, have a laugh. I don’t know anyone conservative, that has commented on these kinds of memes, to me or others I know.

      Or did you mean effective in pulling some political stance BBJ reversal moves?

        It’s effective in driving a rift between Musk and Trump, as many news outlets are reporting that they’ve been contacted by the Trump PR Team to clarify that Trump is in charge after the “President Musk” taunting began. Trump’s superiority complex and vanity is absolute, so being upstaged by a positionless goon will make him very unhappy.

        Although, I concede that we don’t know what actual longterm effect if any this will truly have.

          Oh I see. That’s a solid take on the situation IMO. Haha yeah. Time will tell what comes of this shit show being put on by goons, and loons, set on the verge of collapse, USA. Let dumpster fires light their way.

            With those two divas fighting, it’s gonna be several dumpsters full of illegal fireworks. The inept president of the us vs the comparably inept richest man in the world riling up the same cult against each other. Do you think they realized they were in a highlander situation before they got in bed together?
