Paying too much for chicken these days?
U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, Missouri’s senior Republican senator, said Tyson’s CEO, Donnie King, personally reassured him in 2023 that Tyson would not prevent a competitor from buying the Dexter plant.
“You misled me,” Hawley wrote in a July 9 letter to King. “These are serious allegations, and the people of Missouri deserve to know the truth.”

The worst cover-up in American political history, albeit poorly executed. Does anyone actually think Biden is running our country right now?

Are you saying Reaganesque? Or more like the entire Dubya era?

How long before Trump gets pissed off that Musk is sucking all the attention in the "room" and basically running Congress through threats of primaries .. backed up by an essentially unlimited war chest that literally nobody can compete with and amplified by owning X?
Can't see it ending well myself, but I am stocking up on popcorn - are we not entertained!

Right now? How about the last two years - at least.

Yeah, I remember all the people waiting for X to go down after Musk purchased it. If you were part of that group, I'm surprised you can still stand the smell of popcorn.

The tears of the libs are going to make this a winter of joy. Pocohantas and Bernie are killing me. Heaven forbid someone shine the light and report on the ridiculous bill they tried to pass. Imagine that. The Bee knows how congress operates.
And to think you said that Elon didn't have any legislative power! I'm less worried that Elon has control of X and more worried that people are influenced by what is posted on X.
Neither can stand bureaucracy and government waste, so it could end up very well.
No question it is, and will be entertaining. I can't even hate watch the View anymore (too much brain cell loss), so you can have that popcorn.

I am not but I do wonder what your point is!

Well I've never watched The View, and never likely will. I don't particularly use X either, but apparently its a big thing. I'm all for cutting waste though and the deficit along with it. I will not hold my breath on either mind.

It was a House bill, which is controlled by the GOP, so they get to own this, no?

Like with Putin trump does know when he is completely outmatched.
Oh god no, I would never encourage you to watch the View...I just have left over popcorn.

The view is as useless as Fox and friends. Does anyone with a life watch either?

Well I don't watch either, which may not mean I have a life ... given that I am on here
.True, but Musk and Trump couldn't care less. That having been said, I like Mike Johnson, but he's in a tough spot and will likely will lose his speakership. I liked McCarthy too.

I did think it was funny yesterday from Trump yesterday, with the "kill the bill" in one breath and then "raise the debt limit because I don't want to be the one doing that" in the other.
Fox and Friends is on too early for me. Never seen it.
