The U.S. Senate, in an unusual procedure, cleared the way Thursday for the U.S. to lift its borrowing authority by $500 billion to $15.19 trillion, ...
Oh really? The Senate did what? I think they better look at this before they start having Porterhouse Steaks for lunch.
U.S. Constitution
Article 1, Section 7

All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills.

So the senate and Mitch McConnell can pound sand. As the article states: 'Under the process, lawmakers in both the House and Senate must vote on a resolution of disapproval against the increase in the borrowing limit'.

Well the senate has voted, but the House has not. And I don't think they'll go for this nonsense. They know full well the consequences they'll face if they play games with MONEY WE DON'T HAVE! ... and in the process would be bailing Obama out of the sh_thole he's dug for all of us.

I agree with everything you have presented, however it looks like the House has been bamboozled by this shady piece of legislation. Obama is an idiot, but a shrewd one. He bypassed everyone with his fiat concerning illegals which went into effect immediately and now it looks like this may be the same type of manipulation. I want to know why this loophole was allowed to slide by without anyone saying Hey, hold up a minute— maybe we should take a closer look at this.
