President Biden slammed Republicans Monday for refusing to help raise the debt ceiling, and ...said Democrats are willing to raise the debt ceiling alone this week but Republicans are stopping them, having blocked two attempts to suspend the debt limit in just the last week....
...In a letter to Mr. Biden on Monday, McConnell reiterated Republicans would not help raise the debt limit, and Democrats would have to do it on their own, a stance Republicans have taken since mid-July.
"The debt limit is often a partisan vote during times of unified government. In 2003, 2004, and 2006, Mr. President, you joined Senate Democrats in opposing debt limit increases and made Republicans do it ourselves," the letter read. "You explained on the Senate floor that your 'no' votes did not mean you wanted the majority to let the country default, but rather that the President's party had to take responsibility for a policy agenda which you opposed. Your view then is our view now."....
....The president accused GOP senators of obstruction, calling their efforts "hypocritical, dangerous and disgraceful."

But he forgot "deplorable".
A Uniter not a Divider!
If his 3.whatever trillion spending spree costs net 0, then there us no need to raise the debt ceiling.
Biden the moderate. Biden has never been anything but a nasty vile stupid gaffe machine partisan hack. Oh, and demented.
Yes, indeed. 😀🤗😃
He’s going to stroke out.
I believe that is what they are doing... getting out of the way as the Democrats destroy the country.
FU Biden #notmypresident
Shut it down. Shut it all down.
Let’s Go Brandon!
Xo Xi Dung and his fellow travelers want one party rule in the USA, just like China, Cuba, North Korea, and the old Soviet Union.
Nope! Their job is to save the country by blocking you.
This is unity
/sarc
Heres a new orwellian phrase he could have used:
Divisiveness is Unity.
At-a-boy Joe….great example of unity…..pathetic. The world is watching
how weak a leader you are.
“The American Story”. “The American story depends not on any one of us, not on some of us, but on all of us.” (from the clown’s inaugural address)
The American story Joe was referring to is actually “The Haunting of Hill House”
That’s a loaded phrase: “Just get out of the way!” , instead of negotiating.
Too many nutcases will hear that phrase as a request to harm these Republicans and to permanently “get them out of the way”.
“The Haunting of Hill House”
Required reading in a HS english curriculum. Scariest book I ever read, creepy scary.
I have always loved it when a politicians own words can be brought back against the very thing they support now, but McConnell is not the best spokesman for that. Get someone to repeat Bidens vies from 2004 who can jazz it up a little bit.
