.@RepDanBishop says that it was McCarthy himself who made the call to increase the debt ceiling by $4 trillion until Jan 1, 2025:
"It wasn't even asked for by the Democrats... That's a $4 trillion increase in debt that we just let [Biden] have and the Speaker made the call." pic.twitter.com/sgAeCMzVxE— Greg Price (@greg_price11) May 31, 2023
Good evening, dj!
The vote is tomorrow.
Looks like weeny McCarthy will be relying on Demonrat votes to get it to pass.
You knew what I was going to post before I did!
This sums it up and tells you everything.
The Debt Ceiling Bill is good for Demonrats not so much for us.

@RepBrecheen
I cannot in good conscience vote for a deal that continues to kick the can down the road at the expense of our kids and grandkids.
This is a huge missed opportunity to turn our nation away from a fiscal cliff and I urge my colleagues to vote NO on the Biden-McCarthy agreement as it currently stands.

The blueprint:
Pressure and demonize right wing companies to make them either go bankrupt or become one of your own
Look at Chick-fil-A
A decade ago the left HATED Chick-fil-A, they wanted to crush them
Now, Chick-fil-A is bragging about DEI statements and groveling for New York Times support
If they can’t break you, they make you join them. This is how they operate.

I keep thinking back on the time when ChicFilAs CEO sat with a known gay promoter, at a ball game.....not long after THOUSANDS of Christians had supported their restaurants, after leftist threats.
That really turned me off, from them. And, they were down to the ONLY fast food restaurants we’d support.
Next, Target will be attacked (physically too) by liberals mad that a company listens to their customer base.

Debt Ceiling Emerges as Potential Trump-DeSantis Battle Ground
DeSantis and his allies say the deal, which was announced late Saturday, does little to address the nation’s debt crisis. DeSantis, in a Monday interview with Fox News, called it “wholly inadequate” and said that “after this deal our country will still be careening toward bankruptcy.” Trump, who initially urged Republicans to use the threat of default as a bargaining chip, has been uncharacteristically silent on the deal. But his allies have praised the deal as a way to cut Democratic spending initiatives.
Republicans notched modest victories with the debt ceiling agreement, which will cap federal spending next year and slow spending growth through 2025 in exchange for a two-year debt ceiling hike. The bill would also cut IRS funding and impose minor adjustments to work requirements for welfare. Those provisions were far from House Republicans’ initial demands, which included a decade of spending caps, a complete rollback of the Inflation Reduction Act’s IRS funding boost, and stringent work requirements for social assistance programs.
But some of Trump’s most outspoken congressional boosters, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R., Ga.) and Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.), applauded it as evidence that Republicans have kept their promise to rein in Democratic spending. Greene and others took the view that future budget negotiations will provide opportunities to shrink the federal budget.
Other political operatives in the former president’s circle share their assessment. Arthur Schwartz, a Republican political consultant who served as an adviser to Donald Trump Jr., took to Twitter to call Rep. Dan Bishop (R., N.C.), a vocal critic of the deal, a “professional complainer.” Former senior Trump administration official Stephen Miller shared defenses of the deal on the platform as well.
DeSantis’s allies struck a different tone. No other House Republican has emerged as a more forceful critic of the compromise than Rep. Chip Roy (R., Texas), who called it a “turd sandwich” on Sunday. Roy, who was the first member of Congress to endorse DeSantis in March before the Florida governor announced his candidacy, vowed to fight its passage in the House.
Former vice president Mike Pence also slammed the debt ceiling compromise, saying in a Tuesday statement that it “uses Washington smoke and mirror games to make small reforms while weakening our military at a time of increasing threats from foreign adversaries.” Pence, who is thought the be considering a 2024 presidential run, said the bill places “the burden of debt onto the backs of our grandchildren.”
A spokesman for DeSantis declined to comment. The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
There is also evidence of grassroots discontent over the debt ceiling bill, something the DeSantis campaign hopes to capitalize on as their candidate trails in the polls. Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts blasted it Monday evening as a missed opportunity for Republicans.

As details begin to emerge, many of the House Republicans are furious at Kevin McCarthy for the deal to lift the debt ceiling he has brokered with Joe Biden.
As details begin to emerge, many of the House Republicans are furious at Kevin McCarthy for the deal to lift the debt ceiling he has brokered with Joe Biden.
Suddenly, the prior battle and construct of the House Rules Committee is becoming important. While Kevin McCarthy may have the 218 votes on the floor of the House to pass the deal, he first has to get it out of the House Rules Committee (HRC). If three Republicans oppose it in the HRC, McCarthy cannot get it to the floor. Chip Roy and Ralph Norman are on the HRC and oppose the bill. Thomas Massie is also on the HRC but appears to be supporting Kevin McCarthy (lol, because muh principles).
Byron Donalds also delivered a strong rebuke of the McCarthy deal, as outlined below:
WASHINGTON DC – […] The powerful House Rules Committee will spend Tuesday afternoon debating and — ultimately working to pass — the bipartisan debt deal, requiring a simple majority of at least seven votes on the panel to come to the floor. But some conservatives, including Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), a committee member, have signaled they may use their power on that panel to block the debt plan from receiving a full House vote.
“I'm going to do what's in the best interest and this bill is not in the best interest of the country. That is why Democrats are voting for it,” said Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), another conservative who sits on the Rules panel and has suggested he will oppose the bill during the panel's meeting.
[…] Under the panel's current makeup, Rules Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) can lose two GOP votes — along with all four Democratic votes — and still advance the bill.
Senior Republicans believe that's exactly what's going to happen, according to three people familiar with the discussions. Norman and Roy haven't explicitly said they will oppose, though Massie is expected to vote in support of the measure going to the floor.
GOP Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) said that he is “confident” that the bill will hit the floor on Wednesday, noting that Rules would be considering amendments. Members submitted more than 55 amendments to the debt deal, most of them from Republicans but some from Democrats as well. (read more)
