So-called Republican Mitch McConnell is now working with his socialist Democrat counterpart Chuck Schumer to give Biden another win..
CNN reporter Manu Raju reported that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is in private talks with his buddy Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to waive the filibuster so they can raise the debt ceiling.
That will give Schumer’s senators in red states the ability to run without ever admitting they wanted the ceiling raised to waste more money.
Why is McConnell doing this?
The options are:
- Pass NDAA and then a separate one-time fast-track process to raise the debt ceiling.
- Tie the debt limit process and NDAA together.
- Pass each separately and keep them tied by rule.
A better option is to stop giving Biden wins to prove how bipartisan you are, Mitch.
House Dems are considering three options to raise debt ceiling, per senior aide
1) Pass NDAA. Then pass a separate bill to create one-time, fast-track process to allow debt ceiling to be increased by 51 votes in Senate
2) Tie both debt limit process bill and NDAA together— Manu Raju (@mkraju) December 7, 2021
3) They pass separately, but are tied together by rule and sent to Senate

Our hope is with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. He is opposed to this.
Kevin McCarthy opposes an effort to create a new process to raise debt ceiling through the NDAA, according to his spokesman.
“He is opposed to NDAA and debt limit being tied together in any way, shape or form,” the spokesman said.
This new process floated by McConnell/Schumer

McCarthy’s support is important because some Rs will be needed to approve NDAA
If this new Senate process is approved, debt ceiling could be raised — just this one time — by 51 votes
Idea still being discussed

Wisely, some Republicans realize setting up a one-time process to raise the debt ceiling is a bad idea.
Several Republicans are already pushing back at this idea of creating a one-time process to raise debt limit by 51 votes
“I think it confuses the message,” Cornyn told me. “So if vote for the NDAA, people are gonna say I voted to raise the debt limit? I’m not for that.” https://t.co/21Q1HHaSZD

Right now the Government is spending money it will NEVER be able to pay back. This is causing what will soon be out of control Inflation. Inflation is a hidden tax that clobbers everyone except the rich. The worse hit will be retired people on fixed income. Basically the Government is out of control because the People are taking control back, so the rich and powerful are stealing all they can before the music stops. They have done this before, but for some insane reason we don’t jail and hang the people responsible. Just because there are a lot of them, it doesn’t mean we can’t neutralize them – without a civil war.
Mitch McConnell isn’t just a RINO, he’s a Traitor who’s family is selling out America for personal gain. These are the People who need to Neutralized. We can’t have Politicians who have the power of Nobles and are above the Law. We don’t need the Government spending what they want, we need the Government spending what “The People” are willing to let them spend. There was a time when the Federal Government spent only 4% of GDP, now it’s approaching 40%. We are a defacto Communist Nation, and The People are pissed. The Politicians who got us here need to be brought to justice, but they are coming after The People just like in every Communist Nation.
Mitch was exposed as a non-conservative in 2009. He has been instrumental in driving Tea Party conservatives out of congress. He is a leftist spender. Then, in 2017, he exposed another type of betrayal, by investigating Trump for 2 sets of charges he knew were false, while covering for the DOJ. Then, in 2020, he supported the election coup. Finally, he says Fauci is the best source of information.
No decent party would have allowed any of this.
Maybe Mitch has decided due to the polls which show great hatred for him that he will leave, so he wants to finish up with a few more betrayals. His zeal for these betrayals shows his dislike of America.
Mitch has made many millions in public office, while creating massive debt which reduces the assets of common people like us.
It’s just simply time to start a new party. The R’s are the same as the D’s as proven over and over and over again. Both are out of touch and neither do anything to better the lives of average normal Americans. If you are not lgbtq, a minority, criminal, or an illegal they wont give you the time of day.
Republican “representatives” do nothing but surrender. What a scam.
better option use 2a to stop traitors
What part of the DOJ entrapment division are you with?
