Reminder that raising the debt ceiling is like paying a mortgage with a credit card. This solves jackshit and they will have to go through all this again in 4 to 5 months. The retard swamp creatures in Washington are about as good with money as Chris Chan.

Remember that they're doing the debt ceiling game so they have infinite number of emergency bills (debt ceiling increases) they can attach pork riders to that they "have" to pass. That's the real game.

I mean yeah you're right to some extent, but they are trying to get blood from a rock since the Fed Reserve ain't printing money. The stocks were so over-levraged that the Irs severely undercollected taxes this year.

White House and Republican negotiators reached a tentative deal late Saturday to raise the US debt ceiling and avert a default that threatened to send tremors through the global economy.
President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who sealed the deal during a 90-minute phone call, must now shepherd the framework deal — reached after weeks of bitter discussions — to final legislative passage over the objections of hardliners in both parties.
McCarthy said he will talk with Biden again on Sunday and line the bill up for a vote on Wednesday.
“We still have a lot of work to do, but I believe this is an agreement in principle that is worthy of the American people,” McCarthy told reporters at the Capitol.
Debt Deal Emerging To Raise Limit With Two-Year Spending Cap

There’s little margin for error, with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warning that an extension must be finalized by June 5 to avoid a historic default that would send borrowing costs soaring.
The deal includes a two-year debt limit increase and a two-year appropriations agreement that keeps non-defense spending roughly flat with current levels, a person familiar with the deal said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Economists warned even a short default could see dramatic market declines and the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs. On May 24, Fitch Ratings placed the US’s AAA credit rating on watch in a move that reflected the mounting concerns the US would go over the brink.
The agreement doesn’t create work requirements for Medicaid recipients. But it does place time limits on the food assistance program known as SNAP up to age 54, a measure that House Republicans pushed for. Those would be phased out by 2030, however.
Although the tense negotiations put the country on edge, the agreement could bolster both Biden and McCarthy politically, assuming it garners enough support on Capitol Hill.
For McCarthy, skepticism that he would be able to negotiate an agreement given his razor-thin advantage in the House has hung over the speakership he won in a 15-vote runoff early this year. McCarthy arranged for a call with fellow House Republicans for 9:30 p.m. in Washington.
The compromise, however, could also provoke an attempt by a handful of conservative lawmakers to call a vote to oust him.

The president, at the same time, sidesteps the biggest threat to the post-pandemic economic recovery as he seeks a second term. Yet meeting some GOP demands also risks alienating progressives he needs to propel his reelection campaign.
White House budget director Shalanda Young, senior adviser Steve Ricchetti, and legislative affairs director Louisa Terrell crafted the deal with Representatives Garret Graves, a Louisiana Republican, Patrick McHenry, a North Carolina Republican, and McCarthy’s chief of staff, Dan Meyer.

The fucking slimy move of the agreement of 2 years. They are planning to explode it if Trump gets in.

Joke is on them the mad Orange cunt would probably just do it. "I am not signing any budget. Remove the pork now." Remember: He almost did it in 2020 when they refused to put the stimulus checks and instead pushed a bunch of other useless shit. He only budged because he wanted the re-election.

He is spiteful enough to blow up the debt bomb.

What I'd like to see is Trump win the election, but then decide during the inauguration that he doesn't want the job anymore, leaving all the traps the Dems left for him to not go off on his watch, so they then screech that he HAS to be president. Or simply for him to say:

MEMORIAL DAY 2023​

Cartoon published 05/28/2023

The Memorial Day holiday gives Americans a chance to honor those in the US Armed Forces who fought and died to protect our freedom.

Unfortunately, the wars created today no longer serve a purpose other than to advance the interest of power-mad globalists and their Deep State Swamp functionaries who control our country. The endless wars also funnel taxpayer money into the pockets of the military industrial complex and the military. The latest budget battle excludes the military. Of course! That’s to be expected. Defense spending goes up no matter what.


America is now fighting a proxy war in Ukraine. The war mongers have poured well over $100 billion dollars to keep Zelensky’s meat grinder in operation. Ukraine is a corrupt, money-laundering country that does not serve America’s interest. It has long been under the influence and on the doorstep of Russia—and they don’t want Ukraine to become a NATO member. We risk sparking nuclear war by continuing the insanity.


If we really want to honor our war dead, it can be done by ending all the useless wars started by the US. Instead, use the money spent on death and instead spend it on improving America’s infrastructure. Use it to help solve the homeless problem. Use it to fund the police to help stem the rising tide of crime. America needs to protect its borders, not the borders of countries on the other side of the planet.

Cutting the defense budget and ending the insane wars would be a great way to honor those who have died in America’s many wars. If we stop sending Zelensky money he will quickly demand peace talks with Russia.

He also announced he was going after Pfizer and the other Vax makers a few weeks ago, IIRC. So yeah it was literally just a matter of time before he was outed.

The fact that you say shit like this in support of a guy who's as much of an establishment creature as McConnell speaks volumes about you and none of it good.

Add to that, your assumption that people who like Trump as a candidate are necessarily supporters of his is much the same in sentiment. You sound like fucking HHH doing a bad impression of an alt-righter.

How come so many of you are Trump supporters to this very day, even though he failed his base on pretty much everything? All he's good at is memes, drama and pushing foreign countries to decriminalize homosexuality. Under his fucking term, he accepted doing just that. Do you have a list of people he pardoned, while the J6 MAGApede superfans were rotting in jail or fugitive?
Do you really prefer memes to lead the largest empire in history, vs younger, stably married, policy focused, yes quite boring dude?
Don't you want DeSantis to become president and implement anti-LGBTQ policies at a federal level? Tame the bleqqqs some by removing CRT from schools? It's a timid start, yes, but better than dancing with the LGBTQ flag. Remember, Ted Cruz literally told Donald he's a rootless (New York) cosmopolitan.
Both DeSantis and Trump are pro-Semitic, so that is equal. Both are quite pro-rich elite, so equal again.
