I think McCarthy may have a hard time selling this "compromise" to conservative House members.

Chip Roy is already tweeting his opposition.

One already knows what the answer is, but one is gonna ax about it anyway.

What about those 87,000 new Border Patrol agents that haven't been funded yet?

Any word about how that's gonna happen?

Take away all the Democrat pork spending! Few compromises. Starve the Democrats until they cave, and bring down Biden! It’s war! No more liberal spending on items we are forced to fund but detest.

Did we really expect McCarthy to do anything else?

McCarthy will single handedly guarantee that we lose the House in 2024.

Where is the Motion to Vacate? Calling Matt Gaetz, was that just more empty talk?

Asking Jim Jordan how his investigation of Alvin Bragg is coming along? Looks like interfering with an election is ok.

Marjorie T. Greene has submitted 4 articles of impeachment, has any progress been made on those or will they just die of old age? Oh that’s right, McCarthy said “No Impeachments”.

The real joke is that we continue to vote for these people after they stabbed us in the back, how many times!

When there is opposition to a bill it usually means that some congressslugs are holding out for their lobbyist-requested pork on other bills.

Who’s to blame?

Every republican that votes yes
Every republican not barking about this

Hint: Blaming Trump or those he promoted is useless. Let’s start blaming those that vote, shall we?

Hint2: Stop voting for any of these people……period!

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4024688-debt-deal-text-released-as-leaders-corral-votes/

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) released text of the bill to raise the debt limit on Sunday evening as Democratic and Republican leaders work to corral support ahead of this week’s vote.

The bill — which spans 99 pages — raises the debt limit for two years, strengthens work requirements on federal public assistance programs and rescinds COVID-19 funding that went unused, among other provisions.

McCarthy spoke to Biden on the phone late Sunday shortly before the text of the bill was released.

The bill’s release officially starts the clock on the 72-hour rule, which gives House members at least three days to review a bill before voting on it. Sticking to the 72-hour rule was a key demand of the conservatives who withheld support for McCarthy during the drawn-out Speaker’s race in January.

With text released on Sunday, the House can vote on the bill as early as Wednesday and send it to the Senate for consideration.

But Democratic and Republican leaders will first have to rally enough support for the legislation to have it pass through the chamber, a task that could become more complicated as liberals and conservatives voice concerns with the bill.

Republican leaders will call members back to Washington to vote on other measures Tuesday night, according to House GOP Conference Secretary Lisa McClain (Mich.), which gives leadership an opportunity to whip votes in person ahead of Wednesday’s high-stakes vote.

McCarthy briefed members of his conference on the deal late Saturday night, which sparked criticism on the right from members frustrated by how little the agreement entails.

“This ‘deal’ is insanity. A $4T debt ceiling increase with virtually no cuts is not what we agreed to. Not gonna vote to bankrupt our country. The American people deserve better,” Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, wrote on Twitter.

Sunday morning, Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) — who characterized the agreement as a “turd-sandwich” — said he has heard from a number of his colleagues who are not on board.

US Rep. Chip Roy

1st - the leadership playbook is to line up cheerleading on phone calls to demonstrate “unity.” 2nd, not 95% - I know of more no’s than that already. 3rd - they haven’t been educated yet on what a turd-sandwich this “deal” is. They will be.
