They could just take this thing to its ultimate logical conclusion and place the debt ceiling at infinity and be done with it.

Good old Portman from Ohio. Soon to be the next president of the National Chamber of Commerce when he leaves office.

After January 6th, and Republicans stabbing President Trump in the back, I won’t be voting ever again. I refuse to support a party that doesn’t respect me enough to want to protect my vote, or my pocketbook.

They have just given Biden a blank check for a year.

Unreal.

What are they doing?

Passing by 4 provides cover for the 14.

One wonders how many of the 36 would have voted for it if they really needed their votes.

Makes me proud I'm NOT a Republican.

How hard to they blow?

Like gale force winds on the North Atlantic in January.

And they want our money to regain their majority so they can do more harm.

The only way we get out of this is if we stop letting Deep State pick put candidates for us.

Find and run MAGA.

In both parties.

Vote on principle, not because of the letter after the name.

Vote for Trump and anyone he supports. Ignore the Republican down ballot, unless you know someone.

I wonder how many of these traitors went before the cameras and whined about the debt prior to voting to raise the debt.
