Trump actually summed this one up pretty well:

Why shouldn't we raise the debt ceiling? "Because I'm not in office."

But you did raise the debt ceiling several times... "Yes, because I was the president."

The threat of default is just to make Biden look bad and no other reason.

You see, this is what I fear as well. I think the media is dropping the ball big time in this one as McCarty is already trying to call his own manufactured default the Biden default. If I were Biden I would put as much pressure on McCarthy as possible because it seems like McCarthy is hell bent on tanking the economy to get a GOP White House. This shameful style of politics is why is stopped following the GOP in the 2010s.

This entire game reinforces the Dems approach of MAGA extremism. It also reflects the ever dwindling political IQ of MAGA that they think Joe Biden alone will suffer politically from this.

Looks like a deal is being made, but the freedom Caucasus appears to be furious. Almost like they want the government to fail.

When you piss off the House Freedom Caucus, you're probably doing something right.

But for McCarthy, he gave up so much to be elected speaker, any one of them can now call for a vote to remove him if they wish. If five of them vote to remove him, and assuming all 213 DEMs joined, then it's over for him. And I could see the DEMs get on board with this because who in the hell can the modern GOP House get behind to elect speaker? Scalise? Jordan? It took them 15 tries to elect McCarthy himself.

FYI, Shack, I’m laughing about politics, but not for politics as a participant, but against it because of or related to the default issue.

Go niners! This is unrelated (or at least, not directly related to) Taylor Swift’s dating life, her politics, or Silicon Valley Bank, any banking, financial, or economic crisis in history, Silicon Valley in general, tech, tech companies, or stocks, or any related politics. lol

I’ve always been a niners fan, and they still have the better uniform, so I’m required to support them san (edit: and. This typo is too good a “coincidence” to delete, lol) prefer they win, although I’ll be fine if The KC Chiefs win.
