As the juvenile public breakup spat between America’s first convicted felon president and the South African sociopath Elon Musk raged on, Musk excreted on his Nazi infested social media platform,
”This bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!”
Ok? Who cares? Why should we care if a bill was "shown to” Musk? He’s not an elected legislator. He’s not even an American by birth. He’s a billionaire parasite who feeds on taxpayer handouts like it’s his birthright. Now, this hungry parasite has embedded himself into the government the founders fought a revolution to create and entrust to us —and the corporate media is treating it like this is the way government is supposed to work.
Call me “old fashioned,” but the three branches of government are supposed to be the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary.
But clearly, the Republicans are running government like the three branches are Trump, Putin, and Elon Musk.
Mike Johnson Abdicates Congress to an Unelected South African Parasite
Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republican Party have completely abdicated the Article I power of Congress. He’s not even pretending to have any dignity anymore.
Worse, the only thing the crack, White House Press Corps seems interested in is whether or not the Speaker of the House, the man third in line to the presidency, has convinced Elon Musk to back their “Big, Beautiful” assault on decency, dignity and democracy.
It’s pathetic.
No one in the corporate press is pointing out how absurd it is that Johnson refers to Musk as if he’s a natural part of government, as if the billionaire’s approval is a prerequisite for passing legislation.
For all his boasting about being a real “Article 1 guy”, Mike Johnson and the shameless Republicans gave Musk this illegitimate power and their sycophancy shows no sign of abating.
The Republican Speaker of the House doesn’t call… for example… the Ranking Member of the Appropriations Committee. He doesn’t consult constitutional scholars. He doesn’t even huddle with his freak-filled caucus. He calls a drug-addled sociopath who “accidentally” gives Nazi salutes.
Musk is a man who openly despises the very concept of public infrastructure, of shared societal good, of government itself – unless it’s funneling taxpayer billions into his greed-centered bottomless pit.
Republicans Save their Scorn for the People they Pretend to Represent
We all remember a million years ago on Tuesday when Joni Ernst was called out for her dismissive “we’re all going to die” remark at a town hall. She followed up with a non-apology “apology” video literally shot in a cemetery where she mocked her constituents for giving a shit about the harm the “big beautiful” Republican excrement of a bill will cause.
Imagine, if you will, Joni Ernst or any other Republican, making a video mocking the Elon Musk for not grasping the “beauty” of the ugliness in the bill. Of course, Musk doesn’t like the bill because it doesn’t kill enough people, not because people will die, but you get my point. Republicans would never similarly mock Musk. They save their derision for the people they pretend to represent as they fight tireless to pamper the parasitic elites.
We’re In The New Gilded Age, In Case The Corporate Media Would Like To Notice
100 years ago, during the first Gilded Age, Rutherford B. Hayes lamented that America was a no longer a government “of, by and for the people,” but “of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations.” We’re there yet again.
Corporate media just keeps enabling the decline by normalizing it. I’ve yet to hear anyone in the mainstream media even ponder why Republicans are acting like richest man in the world is a de facto branch of government, with the Speaker of the House and his entire caucus bending the knee.
How much longer are we going to take it, people? How much longer?
