irony – the current prez first came on the political landscape as leader of the “birther movement”, who were just sure a black president had to be born in africa, not on american soil, and therefore couldn’t be president because we can’t have an african running the country…but now?

so what do we do about it?
in my opinion, we wait it out. i do seriously agree with the idea that some of the things we spend taxpayer dollars on are stupid and pointless, but this is stepping on all sorts of toes. and for those who throw down that argument about how judges can’t stop presidents, yes, they can – that’s kinda where the whole checks and balances thing comes from. fun fact for the conservative crowd – the constitution isn’t just the words “hate speech is freedom” and “don’t fuck with our guns” over and over again. it has complete sentences and even words you’ll probably have to look up.
of course, a lot of my friends are huge fans of this.
“shut it all down!”
“it’s been too bloated too long!”
“wait…what?!?”
that last one is when they find out THEIR money has been cut. and they’re already starting to see their errors – did you hear about how they fired the folks that oversee our nukes? yeah, they realized that was a boner move, so they tried to rescind the firings. the issue? they can’t find them.
some shit i just can’t make up.
amazing how all this can happen, but some contracts still keep going just fine. and before you argue that point, note that the contract still exists, and hasn’t been awarded yet, but they replaced “armored electric vehicles” where it used to say “armored teslas” because, you know, optics.
my prediction – elon musk becomes the ross perot of the twenty-first century, splitting the gop irreparably and possibly creating a third, even scarier party. grab the pop corn!
