The deal would suspend the borrowing limit, which is currently $31.4 trillion, for two years enough to get past the next presidential election.

This part is key.

Sure enough, poor people got fucked, the IRS got declawed so they can't go after the rich so they'll aggressively target the ever shrinking middle class some more, Republicans get a victory and Biden now has to justify supporting him still to progressives and people who just got fucked by this. Our system is a fucking sham

Does this one have the porn ban from MTG attached to it? Or did she never actually get that far on her bold plan to tank the thing?

I honestly thought that the GOP was going to actively try to let us default, so they could put the blame on Biden during the next presidential election.

They honestly win no matter what in this, Biden caved to their hostage taking so now it gives them the incentive to demand even more when this happens again in 2 years if he wins re-election and if it's Trump or Meatball in the white house instead they'll just ignore it like usual. it's a disgusting sociopathic tactic that paid off for them.

Forgive me if I distrust the political analysis of a guy who spent years swearing up and down that Trump was destined to win in 2020 and the GOP was going to sweep in 2022.

Don't think the article says anything about the porn ban. Tho it actually isn't going to be voted on until midweek, so we'll see how that shakes out lol

The House Crazy Caucus still has a few days to throw a monkey wrench in this deal and get their wish

They need the votes of the dumb poors, but they ultimately do the bidding of the rich. They were never going to do something that tanks the market and hurts their billionaire overlords' bottom lines.
