When the Taj casino finally collapsed into its final bankruptcy, it was paying a million a day in interest.

Do these people, Rand, Mump, Johnson, know what asses they are making of themselves? Do they care? Do Americans (other than your readers) know what a pack of hypocritical chucklefucks the Republicans of this nation are? Cause, jeez, it makes my hair catch on fire when I read what they are doing, the hard hearted, kid hating, asshats!

I don't understand why now we want the debt ceiling gone if Trump is only going to run up the expenses with new tax cuts for rich folks. I know about the hostage thing, but having a difficult time seeing this as a good thing right now. Also I hope the only yes dems give is if they bring back the original bi-partisan bill they agreed on before president-elect(but we didn't vote for) Musk said no.

Can We Not as a People Now Agree that Laws -- Certain and Select Laws -- Shall be Drafted, Passed, Approved, and Enforced Which Shall Apply Only to Certain and Select Political Parties Whilst Simultaneously Preventing Those of Said Political Parties from Switching to the Political Party Responsible for Drafting, Passing, Approving and Enforcing and Thus Solely Benefitting Directly from Said Laws? And Shall Such Laws -- Once Enacted -- Be Seen as the Ultimate Good?

Since the Speaker of the House is third in the presidential line of succession, can someone who legally can't be elected president serve in that position?

Eight of the first nine Presidents were born as British subjects. Melonhead's lawyers could argue that the Constitution's US citizenship requirement is unfair. Given the Sleazy Six on SCOTUS, he's have a very good chance of overturning it. (They like getting gifts from rich guys, too, so that helps as well.)

I saw a problem decades ago with my little bidness budgets.

The exact same job costs a little more every year. But it is always more because of increase in population. Then if we do a good job, even more people come back.

Pro Tip: Donut offer to do a bad job so less people and less costs. That means less profit.

Repairs and Maintenance was a wild card. Owners don't wanna fix anything.

But stuff wears out. So 1 or 2 major costs? 3 or 4 ? What about weather?

Floods, wind, rain, fire? It is Cali so just a small earthquake maybe ?

OH, put the biggies in the 3rd qtr, the season we made money.

Then add 10% across the board. Cause fixing shit costs more every year as well.

Be sure to bring your crystal ball to budget meetings. You want good reception for the future.

The debt ceiling is only an issue when Democrats control the White House. During Republican administrations the ceiling was raised repeatedly without fuss. So this one time when the Rs want the debt ceiling removed the Dems should say no. They need to pay back the R's for all the times they were prissy about raising the debt ceiling. Or perhaps trade the debt ceiling for letting all of Trump's tax cuts to expire. There are two ways to prevent an increase in debt, reducing spending or increasing revenue. Since reducing spending tends to hurt the poor I'm all for increasing revenue.

Would Muskrat even want the job? I mean, you kinda have to be in the building to do the job, and I can't see him wanting to spend that much time in DC. It's not really a job you can phone in no matter how badly you do it, and I don't think Congresscriters want to spend most of their day on Zoom meetings either.

Instead of making Elon speaker, why not make a head of cabbage speaker? It would seem more fitting.
