Arrr, mateys! A Republican treasure map o’ gold, favored by Captain Trump, sank in the House on Thursday! With a hearty vote o’ 174 to 235, the scallywags couldn’t steer clear of a looming storm, threatenin’ to wreck Christmas voyages. Blame it on Musk and a botched deal, aye!

Avast ye, me hearties! Gather 'round and lend yer ears to a tale of turmoil in the land of Congress! Aye, the crew of the Republican ship, under the command of President-elect Donald Trump, set sail with a spending bill meant to keep the treasure flowing.

But alas! On the fateful day of Thursday, the good folk of the U.S. House of Representatives, in a fit of mutiny, cast aside the bill with a resounding vote of 174 to 235! A right jolly mess it be, as now the scallywags be without a clear course to steer clear of a looming government shutdown, threatening to spoil the jolly season o' Christmas travel!

The bill was thrown together quicker than a pirate can down a tankard of rum, after Trump and that landlubber billionaire Elon Musk sent a prior deal to Davy Jones’ locker! Despite the mighty Trump’s backing, a band of 38 ruffians turned their backs, leaving Congress all a-flutter. So harken, ye fine folk, as we prepare for a bumpy ride ahead, where the holiday spirit may be lost at sea!
