CBS News this morning-Gayle King the astronaut: presented this a little differently, as Elon pissed at Trump. with no real blame for Congress critters.

Elon's X page is full of rocket launches and he is moving on from govt.

Swamp wins. It is a sad reality.

Will they line by line clean up the bill, or does the golden dome make it unsustainable?

Is this included in the BBB? Or can we take all the wasted money to Ukraine and the zillions Biden sent out to climate change green energy?

But the perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good (or in this case, decent).

Hopefully, the Senate will make some changes that will increase cuts (maybe even some real fricking cuts) and the House will suck it up and pass it.

Half the country, probably more, don’t want cuts.

We saw the visceral reaction to doge, even from so called conservatives. And we also elect congress members that don’t want to make cuts.

Why is Trump such a big fan and so invested in it passing? That's the question.

He's turning into the prototypical RINO before our eyes. Big spender neocon who ran on cutting spending and non-intervention.

Fla Tech told us repeatedly that the BBB was the all get out. and then Blondie Bondi, Ka$h, Bongino would clean up. Be patient, bros!

Almost as if he was trolling.

It needs to be said that until those that committed insurrection and a coup to get Trump-complete with an FBI raid, are punished. They won't stop. The CIA intel agencies needs cleaned up for starters. How can Trump trust their intel geo politically?

Blondie Bondi is Sessions. Prove me wrong.

Im sure Elon is frustrated and probably somewhat discouraged. He took alot of shite for the work of DOGE it seems for nothing.
He didn't have to help, its not like he has nothing else going on that requires his focus and attention. It's unfortunate that the folks we elect in Congress are so corrupt and spineless.

This is yet another reason why business should avoid and distrust government and fight them at every turn.

Not that it affects Elon personally but by getting involved in the disaster that is our inefficient government, he lost multi-billions of dollars and lots of good will from potential consumers.

DOGE came to naught. Once looking like a brilliant start, this administration is really showing its ineptness right now.

My top reasons for voting for Trump:

1. National debt needs to get worked on (we'll be more in debt by the time Trump leaves office).

2. Immigration (nice start but now we can't deport anyone really --- not Trump's fault here but Congress').

3. Economy (more Congress & Biden's fault than anything)

4. Better execution of govt (military and law enforcement): I put this squarely on Trump's appointment decision making. With the exception of Rubio, they've not been terrible but they do look incompetent and impotent. Very blah.

Yes, Kamala would have made these all worse. Starting to lose hope in this country. If Trump can't fix these things, who can?

It's discouraging to see the "pivot" Trumps seems to have made recently. His first days was a balls to the wall attack on the DC blob but now seems to be a full retreat.

Trump is far from perfect, and is full of warts. But what other choice does he have? Do the congress critters jobs? They don't even write the bills, they farm them out.

Should Trump tell the chamber of commerce to pound sand and go write the BBB himself?

Rag on Trump all day long. It solves nothing.

Unless criticism forces him to call a tribunal and show the entire DC establishments widespread corruption and their very involvement against him.

The beast is the swamp with Congress. Elon cut the head off the beast, but it grew back. Congress cancelled the vote to codify DOGE. They will be held accountable but then we get Speaker Hakeem. What is plan B?
