We’re not going to default on the G’D debt. It’s a load of horse crap from the usual pack of leftist liars.

“It seems like once they remove the filibuster, it is removed for everything.”

No, it’s already been removed for specific things before.

Whatever our beloved communist master says or does, the communists have never “lost” one of these debt standoffs...

They have beaten the GOP wimps (and the taxpayers) every single time...

He thinks “filibuster” is a new ice cream flavor.

Right. Democrats just don’t Republicans pounding them during the campaign, saying Dems passed all that spending all by themselves. They want R votes for cover.

So the Executive Branch thinks it can set the rules for the upper house of the Legislative Branch? Is he REALLY THAT STUPID?

His answer was accurate, but the question really was “Do you think you might not be wearing your pants?”

-- Biden has no authority in the matter. He's talking as if he was still a Senator. --

True enough, but presidents generally run on matters that Congress controls, like taxes and immigration.

Congress likes this, as it strips them of accountability. And what Congress can;t get POTUS to do, it gets a court or an admin agency to do. Then some hearings for show.

The first thing they think about when they don’t get their own way is to destroy the chance of anyone to oppose them in Congress ever again. Seems logical——for tyrants.

Cant spend anymore meaning that you cant pay the national debt payments which results in default.

Herr Fuhror Joe Biden threatens to control all. So far, Joe who is weak as far as foreign policy, is strong on domestic terrorism (He’s the terrorist) to have total control over the masses.

If he is stupid enough to do this, the only cure is impeachment!

Diktats and threats don’t sit well with Americans.
I know I’ve had my fill.

The only reason they want to do away with the filibuster
is that they don’t think they will ever be in the
minority again.

If that doesn’t wake you up I don’t know what will!
