Venezuela.
The UK.
Same ****, different Deep State.
I suspect the poster wanted to write:
“What a cheap [shot] at Trump.”
All that was missing was a word.
“Things like this is why I am more convinced than ever that there are no more political solutions.”
Perhaps increasing Congressional terms of office might help.
The House term of office might be increased to four years effective the next Congress by constitutional amendment.
We have the CR issue because the House members spend too much time and effort running for reelection.
Traitors, yes, with an addiction as bad as crack.
“This is sad and scary. Trump added 7.6 trillion to the debt his first four years. He promised to lower the debt this time. He needs republicans to vote to ensure it happens.”
Amen.
“McConnell and Paul Ryan consistently pushed budgets higher than Trump’s.”
These two were the real snakes.
In D.C. spending is a team effort with democrats and Rino’s nobody loses that do the voting.
with ignorant people like you being a napscoordinator it’s no wonder we have a crisis in the military
Well. Another screw up tonight from your god.
Your head is far up and locked if you think a “government shutdown” is a bad thing.
No. I think giving trump 5 trillion dollars is a bad thing. You big government types are destroying this country.
You should definitely resign your position due to delirium.

Let me explain the debt ceiling to you since it's pretty clear most of you have no idea what is going on.
As of now, there is no debt ceiling.
Let me repeat that for all of those "true conservative" supporters. As of right now, there is no debt ceiling.
The debt ceiling was suspended back in Jun of 2023.
As things stand now, as of Jan 1st, 2025, the debt ceiling will return, and it will be whatever it was when it was suspended plus whatever spending Biden and the dems did since June of 2023. That new debt ceiling is estimated to be hit by June of 2025 if not earlier.
What the CR wanted to do is push the redemption of the debt ceiling back for 2 years.
This would allow massive tax cuts that Trump wants to make. Things like no tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime, a 15% tax bracket for companies who built here, and to stop the Trump tax cuts from expiring.
You see, the government idiots consider tax cuts as government spending. So if you do $4 trillion in tax cuts, the government considers that $ 4 trillion in spending.
The debt ceiling redemption on Jan 1st will make Trump have to figure out how to pass the tax cuts without going over the debt ceiling and triggering a default. Do you get it now?
By not moving the non-existent debt ceiling back two more years, the "true conservatives" just stopped you from getting more of your money returned to you by tax cuts and they kept more money in the government for a bigger gov. In effect, they just voted for the exact opposite of what they tell you they want and don't for a second think they don't know that.
Not a problem. You want to see the United States bankrupt, be my guest. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you of your irresponsible support. Good luck!
Nice
Just because the debt limit goes up doesn’t mean they have to spend it.
If your credit card company raises your limit $2,000 are you now in debt by that amount?
Only if you spend it.
lol. You are a laugh riot. If it goes up, the debt will be 42 trillion in 2027!
Not if you don’t spend it. It’s more typical theater.
We have to quit playing these stupid games.
At least they left it out of the bill completely. If trump spends all the money up to the limit we have now in June, he can ask congress to raise it then.
