It’s grasping at straws, but is there any chance a meteorite could hit the Capitol before the vote is taken?!?

Dems can raise it all by themselves.

Turtle and the commie-lite Senators will absolutely cave at the last minute. They will do so because the Deep State will order them to.

By voting for the debt ceiling, they allow the 5+T Put the US in Bankruptcy bill to be passed. By not voting on the debt ceiling, the Commie’s have to do it themselves. Then, the commies are faced with dropping all consideration of the 5+T bill or dropping the filibuster. Dropping the filibuster will not work out so well for the commies in 2022 and 2024.

Raise it or shut the government down? There is no good choice.

But raising it will open a door for the Dems Super Duper reconciliation bill which will sc*** us for years to come. There isn't one damn thing in that bill that is a necessity....it's all about programs....once started....will never end.

Thus, Trump’s accurate pre-emptive strike.

Ducks in a barrel. Ducks in a barrel.

Shut down is always good, for the American public.

You’re quite correct. The rats only have one reconciliation round in the chamber. I just don’t see BBB passing this year, so they can use reconciliation to raise the debt ceiling and there’ll be fresh reconciliation rounds to put through the economies head next year. Theres no need for MConnell to cave, and he’s irredeemably craven if he does

Naw. It will be three weeks. They have to have a week of the media crying about the fat and lazy federal workers going without Christmas. That gives them cover, see they have a heart.

The BEST thing that could happen to the USA would be NO debt ceiling increase, followed by collapse of US government bond market and Fed.gov insolvency.

Otherwise the beast continues to be fed and we all continue to bitch how we are being taken over by neo-marxists and the deep state in DC.

The Dems are trying really hard to pass this second bill THIS YEAR. They do NOT want it to go into an election year.

We have to cut spending in areas, when other areas go up.

Just cut spending like the rest of us have to do in our personal budgets.

Quit borrowing on our children’s future, and cut out all the socialist give-a-ways.

Of course Dems would love to see us go bankrupt, or have to default and turn over US assets to China to cover the debt.

Wall Street wants the debt limit increased. GOP corporate donors want the debt limit raised, too. China Mitch represents them and not Main Street. This one isn’t hard to wargame out at all.

What’s the big deal with shutting down the feral givenrment down for 3 - 12 months? Feral and state givernments had no problem shutting down the private sector due to the CCP virus. Xiden has put forth a mandate that will cause millions of American taxpaying citizens to lose their job. When they lose their jobs, they won’t be paying income taxes. But since the feral givernment isn’t open, they won’t need them anyway.

Shut it down - no pay. “We’re all in the this together.” /s

There are my own thoughts and it may be all wrong.

If Mitch stays strong, and the debt limit MUST pass, YellenMunchkin, said it MUST pass, Schumer could attach THAT bill to the “Infrastructure Bill” and only require 50 votes.
This is where I may be wrong:

You can only allow ONE money bill to form a “Reconciliation” which would leave the monster Build Back Buster Bill needing 60 votes.

I know it’s a dream, but it is my dream.
