I don't think Biden should say anything about this stupidity. Let the GOP continue to make the headlines and take the hit. We know that anything Biden says right now, the media will find fault with, as they always do. Let the GOP take the full force of the crap that hits the media fan.

They're getting a raise for INCOMPETENCE?

[kar-rif]

This bill has a raise for congress for A INCREASE OF 50k PER YEAR plus better healthcare benefits for them. . But these elected people want to cut SSI, and Medicare.

[micheleconner]

As i recall, when 45 was in office the first time, 45's congress didn't pass a spending bill and shut the government down right before Christmas! I think it went on for about 4 weeks. I may be wrong on the length, but it did become the longest shutdown to date!!

President Musk is letting little Donnie know who's boss.

[paulacastro]

Democrats please do not increase the debt ceiling.

[cristinebriones]

OH WELL THATS THE PRESIDENT THEY ELECTED SO LET THEM SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCE😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[petehart]

Send in the clowns... oh, forget it it there here

[jeanniekim]

President Biden should just relax. Have a Christmas with his wife and family. Hang out with Hunter and let the US see how inept the reps are.

[peki]

Why does Donny care so much about debt ceilling when he won't even need to ever raise it, since govorment will be soooo efficient under his watch? The debt should actully go down, right? :///

[marshamaxwell]

Please start talking about solutions! Yes, the biggest problem is the propaganda machine (Fox and Elon Musk). So how do we fight the machine?

[belongNaNee]

So what if they get "primaried"? They're going to lose if they go along with it too. They have a better chance of winning again if they do the RIGHT thing and go thru with what they agreed to!!

[letsgorandall]

Shut the government down its the Christmas holiday season.

[MichelleBrezinski]

So MAGA ignorance is going to tank America, basically.
