Republicans are going to be imploding over the passage of this debt ceiling deal. And I will love every second of it!

[ljacobs]

IRS spending cuts so they won't have the resources to follow up on rich Republican donors.

[sandrabarrie]

Where is the increased tax on the ultra rich?

[dutchvanderlinde]

Now everyone will vote for or against it and not even read it.

[yditto]

Supreme Court taking their time with student loan decision? That’s rich.

[LambertBrady]

Are the Covid fund going to reduce the debt, or are Republicans distributing that as well to wealthy party donors?

[LambertBrady]

What does energy have to do with budget and debt limit? Who's buying Republicans now?

It's 99 pages too long... TIME TO REMOVE MCCARTHY

Were all being robbed blind, and for decades upon decades with these criminals

[colehowe]

Honestly pretty impressed with the Biden administration’s work here. Genuinely thought we were going to have to scrap a lot more working with McCarthy : )

[sim.ulationkoyo]

I doubt MTG can even read 1 page let alone 99.

[NDARYBC]

We are hurting from trump BIG TAXS CUT and it is showing...

Denmark is the only other country in the world with a debt ceiling comparable to that of the U.S., but it never causes the same political crises that Washington frequently faces.

[paultrevino]

It’s not gonna pass. Still way to much pork in it. Nothing but trash

[Paul-lmgv]

If the far right and the far left don't like this deal then it must be good for the American

[edwardadams]

The dirty deal behind closed doors for Washington's. Insiders special interest.

[kdcndw]

Senator Mike Lee is gonna try to torpedo this bill in the senate.

[chrisoneill]

A good time for Republicans to get behind McCarthy.

[SandraWade]

Sure just gloss right over the concessions given to the fossil fuel industry even tho we are on track to blow past the 1.5 degree cap of the Paris climate accords

[vernonbaker]

99 pages long but has anyone confirmed whether any member of the GOP can actually read?
