You are not putting the American people first. This is not good for us.

[black-kitty]

Anyone remember when Chuck was photographed with the Chinese spy that was caught in NYC.

[susanreaves]

Nobody cares what they have to say. They are all for themselves. No real leadership here...only duck and hide.

[kimcissell]

Vote no. Impeach Biden, Wray, Mayorkas, Garland and others. Fight to keep this country.

Check Schumer Nancy Pelosi 🤮🤮🤮🤮👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼🤮🤮🤮

The only ones benefitting are the elites. These people are completely out of touch with reality! Cut the pork, cut out the BS grants, do what every citizen has had to do - only spend what you have the income to pay for.

[robertolson]

They only pay jobs if you use the money now. Next year the money has lost 10% of its value. You will never get pay raises fast enough to compete with inflation. Year after that its worse and worse.

[librarynan]

I’m sure democrat “leaders” are happy that their kickbacks from lobbyist are no longer in jeopardy.

[bryanbumstead]

"Defaulting on the debt for the first time in history"
This seems to be the democrats tag line every time. The debt ceiling needs to be raised because of their ridiculous amount of spending.

[cmockingjay]

You mean cuts in gain of function?!?! Good! NIH has failed!

[dennisanderson]

The sensible most responsible thing to do is pay your forking bills. We the American people have to manage our tax dollars from now on. They work for us or have you forgotten? It`s past time to cancel the credit cards away. From now on they have to ask and sign for the money. Just like they used to do.

[bryanbumstead]

If the democrats truly wanted to avoid default they would have been asking for negotiations months ago the way republicans did.
Democrats like to wait till the last second to address issues so they can try passing a bill that has billions of dollars in dollars and Democrat wishlist hidden in it but no one has time to read it.
like they did with the over 4 thousand page "Inflation Reduction Act" released 8 hours before it had to get voted on.

[salasfelix]

At the cost of poor Americans everyday living.

[sallifrancis]

They all look like the cat that ate the freaking canary

[eddiearmijo]

You can never go wrong with Beans and Potatos.

[davidthompson]

This ‘deal’ is not. It is a war budget. Support it and you are an imperialist and war monger

[boycottdisney]

I’m getting a Social Science degree which will allow me to run for office, I’m a Populist and if I am elected, I will truly represent the American people🇺🇸

[lorenemeyer]

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "DEFAULT" (NOTICE HOW MANY TIMES EACH ONE USED THE WORD) just another lie verbage the democrats use and media
(No suprise because they lie to the America people on everything) because they know most if the hard working people don't know that the Treasure Secretary even said on one of the news shows that the "LIGIMATE INTEREST ON THE LOAN MUST BE PAID ON A DAILY BASIS PER OUR CONSTITUTION! THERE IS NO DEFAULT... SHE JUST KEEPS PAYING THE INTEREST UNTIL A DEAL IS REACHED. THE SS AND MEDICARE PROGRAMS ARE ALREADY EARMARKED IN THE INTEREST! More fear MONGORING to the American people!
If we keep raising the debt ceiling and the democrats keep adding to the debt .One day, if they keep spending more than the TAX (income to the government) money that the government brings in... will be bigger than the "LIGIMATE INTERST " on our loan then ...THE AMERICA GOES BANKRUPT..AND WE ARE ALL DOOMED! BUT for now we bring in enough to cover the interest. STOP FEAR MONGORING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! DEMOCATES!!! We have to stop spending more and raising the the debt ceiling because it only make more inflation and driving us off a cliff to BANKRUPT OF GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL NATION!

TRUMP has a beautiful family, a beautiful plan, a beautiful vision for our country, a beautiful deal to make America great again.

M A G A TRUMP 2024
