His reply to me in #102 shows I was wrong.

Why not give us a synopsis? He seems like a lawyer that became a congressman. Like all the others. Your boy Trump on the other hand really is an American hating subversive.

So, Speaker McCarthy met with President Biden in an effort to reach an agreement regarding the debt ceiling. From everything I read, the GOP is refusing to say what their demands are, other than a vague "spending cuts".
The House speaker arrived for the afternoon session carrying no formal GOP budget proposal, but he is laden with the promises he made to far-right and other conservative Republican lawmakers during his difficult campaign to become House speaker.
To that, I ask where? And, how much? Anyone know any specifics? I have heard SS and Medicare, but that is frequently denied.

Romney Laments That Democrats Didn’t Raise The Debt Ceiling Themselves Before His Party Got Involved
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) bemoaned Thursday that Democrats didn’t just raise the debt ceiling themselves before Republicans got their grubby mitts on it.

I knew this was the Democrats' fault. I just wasn't sure how it was the Democrats' fault. But indeed it is the Democrats' fault.

Of course. Democrats are responsible for running the gov't, Republicans are only supposed to bitch about it, and obstruct it (when they can take the time away from their otherwise-busy schedules) except for the Insurrectionist wing, they are responsible for destroying the gov't (while complaining about Democrats).

These debt crises only seem to happen when a DemocRAT is President. Why can't DemocRATs be more fiscally responsible? We really need rock ribbed Republicans to keep an eye on these spendthrift ne'er-do-wells.

Can't it still be done? Biden walks out and says the R's are intransigent idiots so he'll just have to follow the constitution.

I agree it is total bullshit. That’s why I mock hypocritical dungpiles for their faux principles. However, it is predictable bullshit. Everybody knew this would happen.These debt crises only seem to happen when a DemocRAT is President. Why can't DemocRATs be more fiscally responsible?

This is not world-class reporting. It's biased as fuck. No wonder people are hoodwinked into voting Republican.
Where's the pressure on fucking McCarthy to bend? It is literally fixing the problem they fucking caused. Fuck The Hill and all their right-wing reporting.
...
Pressure is growing on President Biden to bend in debt ceiling talks with Republicans, though the White House and Democrats are showing no signs of letting up from his no-negotiation stance.
The president is facing abysmal approval ratings as he heads into the Tuesday summit with Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and other congressional leaders, who have until June 1 to reach a deal that would avoid the nation’s first default.
The meeting follows a Washington Post-ABC News poll that found Biden trailing former President Trump in a head-to-head match after previous polls showed him ahead of his GOP rival. It also showed Trump with a decided advantage on the economy compared to Biden.
Republicans, meanwhile, are entering the debt ceiling talks more unified than ever, with Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) signing on to a letter with 42 other Senate Republicans backing McCarthy’s position that it is time for the White House to agree to spending cuts as part of a deal.
McCarthy’s position was also bolstered by the House GOP’s passage of a bill that paired a $1.5 trillion debt limit increase with sweeping spending cuts and clawbacks – a move that surprised Democrats and even McConnell, and deprived the White House of the talking point that Republicans have not articulated a spending cut plan.
With the recent developments in their favor, Republicans are amping up the pressure campaign on Biden.
