Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he and GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) had a “good conversation” about raising the debt ceiling and that talks are ongoing as Congress barrels toward a debt cliff.

Schumer, speaking on the Senate floor, said Congress needed to deal with the debt ceiling “soon,” after Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned lawmakers that they have until Dec. 15 to raise the nation’s borrowing limit.

“I recently had a good conversation with the Republican leader about this issue, and I expect to continue those talks on achieving a bipartisan solution to addressing the debt limit,” Schumer said.

Cocaine Mitch selling us out again?

[marron]

The debt ceiling is meaningless. They just raise it whenever they want to.

[DesertRhino]

What was it, 2 or three months ago Mitch said December was the hard wall, and that he would NOT raise the debt ceiling?
Lol, the GOP doesn’t even pretend anymore.

[WMarshal]

McConnell is the Democrats’ butt-boy.

[z3n]

Coversation:

What do you want?

What are you asking got?

Well, ya know... I have these extended family members...

Cocaine Mitch selling us out again?

Of course he is. He's a democRAT.

[Vision]

Schumer is evil.

[Leaning Right]

Congressional Democrats love to borrow and spend. Congressional Republicans* love to borrow and spend. So of course they will raise the debt ceiling. This “negotiation” is just Kabuki Theater.

* except for Rand Paul

McConnell should not even be talking to Schumer unless Schumer wants to give the Republicans all they want. McConnell, the Turncoat, Traitor should be ousted as Senate Minority leader today.....the Republican Senate Caucus should dump McConnell today!!!

If mitch said anything other than “take a hike,” he’s a fool.

Remember after he caved last time and gave the democrats an extension and that bastard Schumer went on the floor of the senate and blasted Republicans immediately for causing this “crisis?”

I remember.

[Seaplaner]

"Bipartisan solution"?

Ruh-roh.

[Carriage Hill]

And he’s the RINO’s Chief Assistant DemonKKKrat.

When a snake like Schumer likes what you’re saying, you should worry.

[1956tbyrd]

Say you’ll raise the debt ceiling if you kill Build Back Better.

[1Old Pro]

I hope Chuckie thinks that hearing “No F’n way” is a good conversation.

[1Old Pro]

Say you’ll raise the debt ceiling if you kill Build Back Better.

That's giving a lot to chuckie, but that's about as far as mitch should go.

[Starboard]

Yep, you put it right.

Meaningless BS from our so-called “leaders”.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Right on schedule.

[beethovenfan]

The turtle is caving again.
