Sure. I belive them. Might as well vacate the chair and vote in Jeffries as speaker. And those 149 should change their party affiliation today.

Jeffries is the speaker for all intents and purposes.

It’s a Dem bill and McCarthy helped Jeffries get it throuugh and likely got nothing out of the deal for the GOP. as usual

Lots of room to give everyone cover for their local constituencies.
Tough Yes/No votes had by none.

Uniparty on display.

When you start believing that the uni-party cares more about representing your interests over theirs, you may be an idiot.

of course they discussed what each could deliver as part of negotiations - Jefferies alluded to McCarthy bringing a certain per cent of the R caucus repeatedly since deal struck w/Biden.

Watching the vote gave it away. A sufficient plurality of the Dems held back from voting until almost all the GOPers had voted, to see how many would have to vote for the rules in order to go forward with the debate. It happened again in the final vote for the bill.

It was like watching a state election, where the city’s votes were held back until the rural areas posted their votes, in order to know how much the ballots needed to be stuffed to get the Dem in power.

The betrayal from the republicans, like MGT, is staggering. I suggested people watch “When God Abandons A Nation” to see what has happen to our country.

Repent and turn towards Christ before it’s too late.

They didn’t have to make a deal. The bill verbiage & concessions spoke loud & clear.

The whole world of Washington DC is insane. They have destroyed this country economically by stealing stealing stealing. The latest big steal being the Ukraine money laundering project.

I’m sure one or two of them will actually read the bill to find out what goodies were in it for them.

This is the message Congress sends to USA citizens:

Do not live within your means

Do not cut back on any expenses or your life style.

Borrow as much as you can.

Do max out all your credit cards and beg for higher limits.

Do not pay back your debt.

This is the message to our children and grandchildren. Of course they will be stuck with the debt and the carrying costs.

The Conservatives let loose the dogs of war by allowing funding for 87000 armed IRS agents. This is the start of American Gestapo Police force.

I was majorly disappointed to see that my normally conservative Rep Tom Emmer voted for this debt ceiling increase.

When we need stalwarts the most... everyone seems to have a finger in the wind.

You nailed it. To be fair, when you have the entire media establishment on your side it gives you leverage
