Some Democrat leaders have acknowledged some of the losses in the debt ceiling negotiations and have urged their fellow members to vote “yes” anyway.

According to Congressional reporter Max Cohen, former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) has been urging his colleagues to vote “yes” despite some of their misgivings.

"Because they usually get 110% and an apology from the GOP."

LOL!! Worth repeating.

FAKE NEWS! The DEMS WON THIS ROUND! When 36% Biden CONGRATULATES McCarthy, you KNOW Kevin Caved!

[Candor7]

The FReedom Caucus stood firm........regardess of default.

This may spell the end of McCarthy’s speakership.

We need a speaker from Texas, not California.

[Altura Ct.]

If that is defeat I’d hate to see what victory looks like.

“It’s a trap!”

7 trillion dollars in additional debt during trumps short four years. Astonishing.

[napscoordinator]

Yes Texas who’s getting rid of their AG. Nope Texas would be a disaster.

Just more smoke n mirrors. They still think we are just stupid minions. This is their deal, not ours. This is what they all wanted. Just trying to glam it up so we think it’s better than it was. And we settle cuz we are prisoners to the tyrannical US corruption.

Breitbart has a story that contains a link to the text of the bill.

It is only 99 pages long. I give Speaker McCarthy credit for two things:

1) A 99 page bill is a vast improvement over the 4,000 page omnibus spending bills of the past decade.

2) People interested in the minutiae of congressional legislation should have time to examine the details.

Congress Releases Bill Text of Debt Deal

I am going to chill out for 24 to 48 hours to give people who are expert at understanding obtuse legislative legal text a chance to weigh in.

It’s a pretty sure thing that if any Democrat votes ‘yes’ on this, it’s bad for America.

From the article, Linda shoots off her mouth:

Some Republicans, such as Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC) have expressed concern over portions of the bill, such as defense spending.

“I respect Kevin McCarthy. I want to raise the debt ceiling. It would be irresponsible not to do it. I want to control spending. I’d like to have a smaller IRS. I’d like to claw back the unused COVID money. And I know you can’t get to perfect, but what I will not do is adopt the Biden defense budget and call it as success,” Graham said on Fox News Sunday.

“Kevin said the defense is fully funded. If we adopt the Biden defense budget, it increases defense spending below inflation. A 3.2 increase is below inflation. The Biden defense budget takes Navy from 298 ships to 291, at time when China is going to increase their navy by almost a third,” he added.

Regardless, the can gets kicked further down the road. I may not still be alive when the sh*t hits the fan, but my kids certainly will.

Yeah, this zucks.

You mean “meatless” hamburgers don’t you? Cattle farming is on the chopping block, just look at the Netherlands.

[Night Hides Not]

With Dade Phelan as Speaker of the Texas House, you’re right.

[cgbg]

Biden is senile.

Praising him is not just wrong, it is comic.

[Night Hides Not]

Am I one of few veterans who think adding more bloat to the Pentagon is a bad idea?

It would only mean pennies, but Congress needs to cut by 50% the number of general/flag officer billets in the military. Get rid of the "Mr. Pappys" and their posses.

I'm glad I never served above Battalion level. Being at Division/Brigade staff would be mind numbing.

Isn’t Breitbart.com a HUGE supporter of President Trump?
