Looks Like Dems To Take McConnell's Offer

Same game in December.

If I understand kathianne's explanation "why", it makes sense IF the Dems aren't allowed to use the dame excuse. This extra time is supposed to take that excuse away.

I guess it would be okay if McConnell wasn't making a deal with the Devil. We're already having to bank our futures on 2 Dem Senators.

Yeah, but gop gave them 2 months more in what should be 2 weeks to accomplish. The libs are not going to be able to say, 'but the gop forced it to go over... which would have worked this time. They still have to get it done alone.

Republican't's can't even get doing the wrong thing right

There's this guy in FL that doesn't like McConnell. He has more minions than Jim. Lol! Seriously same guy cost gop two senators in GA out of spite.

True. It's amazing the games they play with our money.

Now this means sinema and mnuchin have to get on board for it to work in December?

Two negative reactions to avoiding possible US default- imo one is at least providing a modicum of love of Constitution principles and concern for country :

We'll see how this pans out, but Manchin appears to be royally pissed at Schumer:

Now if some in the gop could stand up to their bully.

That may be exactly right.
