BREAKING: House overwhelmingly passes Biden-McCarthy debt limit deal 314-117
On to the Senate
Is there any possibility he will now be voted out as speaker of the house ?
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, tweeted that the 71 Republicans were “heroic.”
The Biden-McCarthy Debt Expansion Act just passed the House. To those who thought this was a Republican bill, the numbers don’t lie: 165 Democrats voted for it, and only 149 Republicans joined them. Those voting against it included 71 heroic Republicans and only 46 Democrats. pic.twitter.com/14SmyLsi2t

I definitely agree he did wonderful things, no question and he wasn’t perfect. However, there are numerous questionable associations, appointments and endorsements (numerous to count) and pivotal moments (such as the debt ceiling) where one is silent that makes you ponder, is this truly the man we voted for and now is silent when his leadership is needed most? His silence on this matter speaks volumes. It reminds me of the politician that instead of taking the lead on matters waits to see which way the political wind blows before taking a stand. That’s not a leader of principle but a leader of coincidence; a sunshine patriot.

No doubt he made many mistakes on who he trusted. BUT...he DID demonstrate just how deep and wide the swamp really is. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
However, he was learning how to play the game real time with every apparatus of the deep state going for his throat. This and he STILL managed to do more good for the country in a single term that any president in my lifetime.
He needed to get re-elected so he no longer had to play the game in his second term.
THAT is what is so devastatingly terrifying to the swamp. GOP and dems...they are terrified of a second DJT term.
Trump got assimilated.

Grab your ankles this is going to hurt.
All of em gave themselves raises no doubt. B@stards.
The Democrats want to kill us.
The Republicans DO NOT want to kill us. They want to help the Democrats kill us.
Exactly, plausible deniability.
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.

100% correct.
Or perhaps a corruptocracy.
What Will Rogers once said remains very true today: “We have the best politicians money can buy.”
Who is going to be the rep to call a vote on taking the gavel from McCarthy?
