The real shit show is when the likes of MTG and Randy Paul now wants Elon Musky Musk a non-elected individual to be the Speaker of the House:

Yup. This is going to be fun to watch. Will the Democrats denounce all billionaires and stop taking their money? Or just whine a bit and let it happen?

The Democrats money from Billionaires pales in comparison to Trump's from the likes of Musk, who is even dictating how the House should be functioning.
A real shit show and hypocrisy from the Republicans!!

She spent 1.4 BILLION in 3 months. You don't raise that from working class voters. And that didn't include the Super-Pacs for her.

The Dems have spent more the last three cycles in fact. Mostly big donors.

Maybe those are the people who aspired to competent, non corrupt government?

Slap in the face for Trump as the raise in the debt ceiling was not included in the new Bill that was signed into Law and thus averting a shutdown:

Congress passes law averting U.S. government shutdown
Biden signed bill into law Saturday, defying Trump's debt demands

Is it possible they are all auditioning for a crazy reality show, one has never seen before and the best-ever reality show Trump-style? President-elect Trump announced that Mark Burnett will serve as the special envoy to the United Kingdom in his next administration in a post on Truth Social.

‘The Apprentice’ creator tapped as Trump’s United Kingdom envoy

Seems like this is an audition for a Whitehouse Comedy Series. Trump is appointees are a disaster, as practically none of them have any real experience.
Some of them are real felons that also stinks of nepotism such as Ivanka's father-in-law who was pardoned by Trump and will be the ambassador to France.
Then there is that Massad Boulos who is Tiffany Trump's Father-In-Law as well as Trump's daughter-in -law Lara that will also likely be jacked up to positions within the Comedy Show!!

But we all know that Trump's No. 1 priority is to hoodwink his cult followers into thinking that his tenure is all about them.
In reality this is how his previous time in office panned out for his daughter and son-in-law:

Jared and Ivanka made up to $640 million in the White House

Whoever is in power it's the same. Military budget goes up, bailouts for bankers, subsidies for business, watered down finance laws, suppression of progressive voices. Bought media.
You missed one.

I can say the same about the Chinese lobbyists. The Saudi/ME lobbyists, various other foreign actors, including private entities all lurking around Washington.
All of them have to register as foreign agents. AIPAC doesn't.

You really think all the dirty money is passing through registered Lobbyists? How do you think that Senator ended up with 1/2 million in gold? Many have it, they are just better at funneling it through their relatives.
