They need to be put under control right now, good choice.

And now they will be back on the topic of the filibuster again, which would have made no difference.

Schumer Lashes Out After Senate Republicans Block Debt Limit Hike

The Senate GOP on Monday blocked a measure that would raise the debt ceiling.

The bill needed 60 “yea” votes to overcome the filibuster and open debate.

The vote total was 48 ‘yeas’ to 50 ‘nays’ – and Schumer blew a gasket.

Schumer is expected to bring another vote to the floor later this week before government funding expires at 11:59:59 pm et Thursday.



AP reported:

Republican senators blocked a bill Monday night to keep the government operating and allow federal borrowing, but Democrats aiming to avert a shutdown are likely to try again — at the same time pressing ahead on President Joe Biden’s big plans to reshape government.

The efforts are not necessarily linked, but the fiscal yearend deadline to fund the government past Thursday is bumping up against the Democrats’ desire to make progress on Biden’s expansive $3.5 trillion federal overhaul.

It’s all making for a tumultuous moment for Biden and his party, with consequences certain to shape his presidency and the lawmakers’ own political futures.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said the GOP will not vote to raise the debt ceiling.

“For more than two months now Senate Republicans have been completely clear about how this process will play out. So let me make it abundantly clear one more time, we will support a clean continuing resolution that will prevent a government shutdown. …We will not provide Republican votes for raising the debt ceiling,” said McConnell.

They're blaming everything they can on Republicans. The debt is Trump's. The collapse will be because of the Republicans.

Democrats are such liars.

Remember when Obama was in office - for how dang long did we hear "well Bush did this, or that..." and now everything is "Trump" - it's part of their agenda. Lying is a daily game along with their hypocrisy.

I have noticed that lately. Especially with Biden putting the death touch to everything. MSM's got nothing to report. They have too many topics they can't touch.

I mentioned it in another thread. What does Google give me? What Simon Biles wore to dinner. There are lots of "purists" out there who don't like the Star Wars last trilogy. Or they'll cherrypick something stupid Biden is doing and make out like it's cool

Nothing on Afghanistan, Mandating vaccines, the Border, the budget, EDIT: Let's not forget the complete squashing of the Chairman, JCS and his treason.
