Jeff Tiedrich - scenes from President Musk's shutdown-that-wasn't [View all]

United States President-Elect Elon Musk was definitely one of those kids who woke up early on Christmas morning, ran downstairs, grabbed his presents from under the tree, frantically ripped the wrapping off — and immediately smashed the shit out of each and every one of his new toys.

you know this is a fact, because when handed the biggest toy of his life — the entire country of America — the very first thing President-Elect Musk tried to do was break it.

President Musk and his Vice Presidential mascot Donny Convict done fucked up bigtime.

the Space Nazi wanted to shut down the government, because governments are inconvenient things that keep him from doing everything he wants. Donny wanted the debt ceiling shitcanned, so he could give economy-destroying tax cuts to his plutocrat pals. neither of them got their way, and all they have to show for their efforts is a huge crack in their autocratic bromance.
