But White House officials are still planning for the Kentucky Republican to climb down as yet another deadline approaches in December, after he convinced 10 Republican colleagues to break the logjam last week.
Inside the White House, aides don’t view McConnell’s insistence as a hard “no.” Instead, they consider the recent vote in the Senate to raise the debt limit for two months a harbinger for the future, underscoring that Republicans could easily join Democrats though regular order if need be.
Such a conviction suggests that Washington is girding for another exasperating and potentially costly game of chicken, only this time, with the rest of Biden’s sprawling agenda thrown into the mix. McConnell has insisted that Democrats use the reconciliation budget process to pass a debt ceiling bill with only Democratic votes. But some Democrats bristle at the idea, arguing it could take up too much floor time and would set a dangerous precedent.

Always bet on a sure thing.
There’s no movement to remove Mitch as leader of the GOP in the Senate.
I’m listening to yesterdays Mark Levins show right now on podcast where he’s going over the economy. We are effed, totally utterly and completely effed.
He pointed out we are just at the beginning of the Biden term, we have over 3 YEARS left and all Biden is focusing on is destroying the economy more and more. Fuel is up 54% oil up 78% and we have inflation. Biden just shut down drilling in Alaska the other day. Levin says it’s going to be worse than the 1970s and I believe him. McConnell can absolutely go to hell useless asswipe.
I’d never vote for someone like McConnell and until enough Republicans feel like me, people like him will remain in power.
We’ll see. Right now both sides would rather see the country go down the tubes than be seen as working with the other side.
We are ruled by the uniparty from hell that cares more about foreign invaders, empowering and arming Islamic terrorists while labeling parents who disagree with their kids being indocrinated in racism and sexual perversions as “domestic terrorists” while they destroy the economy more and more. This is a nightmare, it really is. I don’t even want to think where we are going to be 3 years from now. Forget the midterms, election integrity is being utterly ignored on purpose so I fully expect democrats to sweep it. “Wow, they won the house and Senate by the most votes in history. What a surprise”
Surrender, it’s the moderate and civil thing to do.
Brought to you by the same Republicans who are encouraging all of you to vote Democrat this next election cycle. Just to teach a lesson to Republicans who aren’t civil, who aren’t decent, who, you know, aren’t democrats.
That is not a fair bet.

Biden will campaign in the future on the slogan he made everyone a millionaire. The only problem is 3 years from now a Happy meal will be $4,900 and a 3 bedroom home will be $15M.
Well, Freepers continue to bitch and moan about mitch every day.
Is that not movement?
I’d never vote for someone like McConnell and until enough Republicans feel like me, people like him will remain in power.
That really is our main problem. The majority of GOP voters will never politically radicalize in defense of liberty. Too many weak and surrender prone voters simply can not face the ugly truths we face. It’s much easier to surrender to Marxists and go back to watching Dancing with the Stars.
It’s a safe bet.
Assisting Democrats is what Assistant Democrats do.
That’s because most of the GOP Senators are Mitch’s bitches.
Until we replace the Bush League Republicans with real Republicans they will continue to assist the Democrats to destroy the country.
“But White House officials are still planning for the Kentucky Republican to climb down as yet another deadline approaches in December…”
That’s a safe bet.

Dear Quote Investigator: There is a famous story about sex and money that I have heard in myriad variations. A man asks a woman if she would be willing to sleep with him if he pays her an exorbitant sum. She replies affirmatively. He then names a paltry amount and asks if she would still be willing to sleep with him for the revised fee. The woman is greatly offended and replies as follows:
She: What kind of woman do you think I am?
He: We’ve already established that. Now we’re just haggling over the price.

Why would they bother “planning for the Kentucky Republican to climb down”? It’s guaranteed that he will, cast in stone, a sure bet, certain fact, etc.
I always thought that story was from Winston Churchill. Churchill was very snarky so it fits his character.
McConnell is a communist sympathizer, so he probably will.
By the way, the elections are still rigged.
Well of course they are. It is the uniparty afterall.
