It looks as if Mitch got cold feet. He’s covering his backside with a temporary lifting of the debt ceiling that may be voted on today. Maybe it got through to him that people aren’t as dumb as he thought…
If President Biden would just modify or eliminate the filibuster, Mitch would be much less dangerous. As things stand, we are being ruled by an unelected minority for Trumpublicans’ benefit. Write to Biden and insist that he at least modify the filibuster. As it stands now, all Mitch has to do is say the magic word “filibuster” and everything grinds to a halt. At least make Republicons stand up there and read the phonebook (or whatever)out loud until they can’t go on any longer. And don’t allow them to make interns do it — legislators should have to filibuster, since they like it so much. Starting with McConnell.
Here’s what Mitch McConnell’s blinking on the debt ceiling reveals
“McConnell’s move tells us he doesn’t believe Schumer will budge on reconciliation and that will move toward the default or filibuster carve out scenario,” Marshall wrote. “He doesn’t want to get there.”
McTurtle is an evil wet-dream of the reality of the GQP’s descent into incompetence. Their total reliance on driving ignorance and adrenal addiction is their road to keep power. They do have a goal… it’s a corporate Gilead of surfdom and forced labor.
Politics use to be mainly about policy debates between political parties with a layer of BS theatrics thrown in from both sides. That’s not possible today with one party and the other turned into a cult of personalities. BS rules the day, every day. This country is in serious trouble and unfortunately too many people don’t seem to care.

Mitch is demanding a ‘number’ from the Dems so they can scream that the Dems spent 8 trillion, to pay off Trump’s debts, which they won’t mention.

Change the deck of cards from ‘economy’ to ‘G.Q.P. 2021 Elections’ and watch Moscow Mitch claim it was Biden on the wrecking ball.
