At least they can't blame this one on the Repugnicants.
They will anyways. The media will report it that way. And the people will believe it.
At least they can't blame this one on the Repugnicants.
They can and will blame reptiles for blockingAt least they can't blame this one on the Repugnicants.
Shut down Thursday at midnight.
Sheesh, schumer has about 24 hours to sort this crap out.
Increasing the debt limit isn't going very well for the demoncrats in the US Senate. It failed to pass on Monday, so they tried it on Tuesday and it failed to pass a second time. Are they going to keep voting on it? Weds or Thursday?
Thursday at midnight is when TSWHTF.
Pelosi is talking about passing a clean continuing resolution to prevent the government shutdown and fund spending, but not increase the debt limit.
Whatever happens in the house, the senate doesn't have the Demoncrat votes to increase the debt limit. And the demoncrat progressives will not vote for either a debt increase or the smaller infrastructure bill, the $1.2 Trillion one, UNTIL they pass the $3.5 Trillion bill FIRST.
If there is NO vote at all, or it doesn't pass, the $3.5 trillion liberal fantasy bill will be like a kidney stone in the bowels of the US House of Representatives.
Remember BOTH BILLS, plus the debt increase, must pass both chambers.
We should all take steps to prepare for financial chaos starting on Oct 1st, followed on October 18th.
Get some cash on hand for the next three months. Make sure you can pay your rent and utilities at LEAST till the end of the year.
I realize this budget and debt theater happens every year. Unless Jaypal backs off, which I see NO sign of happening, then the debt limit won't be increased, and the government will shut down midnight Thursday.
Wow, this is just fascinating, watching all this brutal infighting amongst the demoncrats.

The Hill reported that two Democrat senators familiar with the bipartisan infrastructure bill voting talks in the House are expecting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to cancel Thursday’s scheduled vote due to not having enough votes.
The report noted that two senators, who are remaining anonymous, claim they are in contact with Democrat members in the House who believe there will not be enough votes since there are “at least two-dozen progressives planning to vote ‘no’ on infrastructure without a separate vote on a larger social spending package.”
“They will not pass it on Thursday. Enough of the House members understand that they would be gutting the Build Back Better agenda,” one Democrat lawmaker who is familiar with the internal discussions told the Hill.
“Nancy will pull it,” one of the two senators familiar with the discussion said to the Hill. “We’re pretty sure she won’t put it up for a vote. She’ll meet with the moderates and she’ll say, ‘Listen, I don’t put these things up when the votes aren’t there. It doesn’t help your cause to see it fail, it doesn’t help the president to see it fail.'”
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) — the chair of the far-left Congressional Progressive Caucus that consists of 94 members — threatened the passage of the bill last week and claimed last week that at least 48 of her radical friends are willing to block the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill saying there will be no infrastructure bill without reconciliation.

On Wednesday, the congresswoman continued her threats during an afternoon appearance on MSNBC, stating that she now wants to have “a vote” on reconciliation before the vote on infrastructure.
Over the weekend, Pelosi reiterated her long-standing statement of “I’m never bringing a bill to the floor that doesn’t have the votes” while adding that the Democrats are “going to pass the bill this week.”
Pelosi added that “You cannot choose the date. You have to go when you have the votes.”
However, on Monday, Pelosi broke her promise to the “moderate” Democrats, saying she would vote on the bill and pushed the vote to Thursday. The Democrat infighting with Pelosi was the cause of the delay of votes, to give more time to Pelosi time to find more votes.
Democrat Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), while speaking to reporters Wednesday, the day before the scheduled vote, said, “If we fail to pass these two bills, people will not forgive us,” while referencing the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package, both containing parts of President Joe Biden’s radical agenda.

I am not sure how you can fund the government till 12-3-21 when the debt limit expies October 18th?
This is only getting started just wait until the UN blue helmets arrive then it will get nastyThe scheduled government midnight shutdown won't happen due to the CR passed a few minutes ago.
However, the ENTIRE demoncrat agena has FAILED including both bills and the debt limit increase.
Consider can kicked to October 18th when all hell breaks out. No foodstamps for November means anarchy in systemic racism and blm antifa land.
no, debt limit is .gov ‘authority’ to issue debt which are various bonds with the fed as main purchaserDoes this extend the default scenario to December as well?
