Division among the Republican party on McCarthy Ceiling Debt deal. Making it a bad day for McCathy. Oh well back to the drawing room.
Imagine a large American political party “speaker” being highjacked by un-responsible HIGHJACKERS who are only interested in making MAGA CHAOS, ATTENTION TO TOWARD SOCIAL MEDIA HITS. this is where america is now…. ignore truth, facts and honesty to accept lies, misinformation and corruption.
If they were so concerned, they would go after Rick Scott, Senator from Florida. He stole millions from Medicare. The Republican Party has gone to hell, lie constantly and are now a party of fascist. Kevin McCarthy is an awful human, speaker and creepy guy. McCarthy must think americans are stupid! His own cult are on social media screaming about his glorious tentative debt limit.

This proves that McCarthy shouldn't be Speaker of the House. Republicans Please Vote Against Bidens Debt Limit Deal.
Smiling my ass. After giving yourselves a nice fat raise how do you sleep at night wanting to take food from the needy? If you want to balance something try starting with yourselves.
Why so much spending items from White House that's because it cumulated up the left bills from past years, right?? ~ all 6 years of stable deals is a wonderful idea , it sounds like promise prosperity opportunities for Americans' future generations ~ ❤ Supporting for Mr. President Biden's deals and Mr. McCarthy 🙂
Republican in white house raises the debt limit more than 50 time .
Trump raised the deficit by 3 trillion bucks!
These idiots really shouldn't even be a party they are all over the place and not doing nothing just causing havoc these morons run up a bill and then not wanting to pay it says a lot about them Tax the rich…
In Texas, we had a contest to see who people thought was the smartest, Joe Biden or a Headless Mannequin. The Headless Mannequin won in a landslide.
Purple voters would trust this more if they didn't have a radical wing, if extremist legislation wasn't the political springboard for candidates like DeSantis. Republicans still have a long way to go to get the trust of centrist voters back again. I never voted straight party until the Republican Party got Trumped. Now I do it out of self-defense. Trust isn't right around the corner for centrist voters, it's years away. Republicans betrayed the American trust when they allied themselves with Donald Trump.
Democracy is a slow process. If you force a cake to rise, it falls. Centrism is democracy. A little left, a little right.
I'm in Washington today ok. at eras tour taylor swift
Biden and democrats need to stop wasting tax payer’s money, giving jobs to those who are able to work and earn instead of giving free money, this is punishing those who work hard, stop doing that Joe, it’s not your money
What the "tentative agreement" DOES NOT DO:
It does not cut lavish spending where it was taking place. Reckless spending was directed at defense expenditure. The biggest slice of government spending went to beefing up defense spending, police budgets (contrary to Republican lies about "defunding police"), and proxy wars like the war in Ukraine. The "debt ceiling agreement" will ensure those heavy-expenditure programs continue indefinitely. Spending will be cut only for public safety nets and checks and balances for environmentally perilous extractive projects.
Transparency?
There was none! Nothing was revealed about the specifics of the "negotiations" that took place in closed doors out of the reach of cameras — the exact opposite of what Kevin McCarthy promised. Even the White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre REFUSED to answer questions about the specifics of the negotiations during press briefings.
10:54 What this will do is it INCREASES DEFENSE and increase veterans." "If you take NON-DEFENSE with veterans out, it goes BELOW the level of 2022."
One Big Theatrical Show
The whole "Debt Ceiling Crisis" was one big *theatrical show perpetuated through corporate media by the two-party system to trick the public into accepting cuts to social safety nets. The idea was to portray the so-called "negotiations" as a "crisis" that will lead to the "end of the U.S." and the "extinction of humanity without the good old USA" without a "resolution." This announcement of a "tentative deal" will presumably give Biden an excuse to say "he had no choice but to compromise by cutting on social spending," or else the *doomsday scenarios of "USA and humanity going extinct" would play out.
The "agreement" translates into stricter work requirements (more hoops to overcome) for the unemployed seeking relief between job searches. It is currently the case that unemployed persons seeking relief must prove that they are actively searching for a job to remain eligible for government (taxpayer) assistance. Therefore, the preexisting welfare system is not a free-for-all scheme politicians make it out to be. The "stricter work requirements" will presumably force desperate unemployed people to accept poor working conditions and low wages while filling up jobs that are having trouble attracting workers.
Kevin! mMcCarthy! U r doing an awesome job! As a speaker a mediator & an all around good guy. I’m glad! U r our Speaker GBU!.
Republican blood is boiling. The Freedom Caucus is out of their minds. Joe Biden saved Social Security and Medicare for 60 million Americans. McCarthy is out. Margie Trailer Park will be the next speaker by Friday.
A child 40 years from now going to inherite a 4 million dollar debt and im supposed to give a damn about that when im struggling to feed my kids now
All of congress should be made to receive minimum wage until they actually fix everything they have been tasked with. They should not be able to raise their own wages each year…that is something that the tax payers should decide. I wish I had control of my wages….sheesh!!!
What about American ripping off the American people with all these high prices to live the American Dollar has much value outside AMERICA but has no value to Americans living in America
That's a bigger crime then some looney fake cop who arrested someone because he clearly is a looney who needs help and he'll a nice prison sentence but not life America needs life by the way America slowly killing the American people
Don't forget to close all interviews with Republicans with a hearty "Sieg Heil" salute so you don't insult the criminals Orange Ba'al of Mar a Logo and Musk the Con-Man and killer of Earth.
Dems and GOP BOTH played games and could have created an unnecessary crisis. Biden was always gonna cave because at the end of the day its all theater. Biden pushed for the same GOP policies his whole career but he needs to APPEAR to be against the policies. GOP won on behalf of their BUSINESS OWNER DONORS! THAT'S WHO THEY WERE WORKING ON BEHALF OF NOT EVERY DAY PEOPLE! Business owners kept complaining about not being able to find workers and now they will have them and be able to exploit them, underpay them, for risk of losing assistance.
A default would actually be gold for thia country
McCarthy is Da Man 💪
How much money did you give the military? You do realize your suppose to be running a country?
Glad they reached a deal but they need to balance the budget now. 🐘 vs 🫏 vs = 🤪
That half dead criminal TWEAKER CLOWN!!! Biden, should be in prison for HIGH TREASON!!! Biden is a TRAITOR TO THE PEOPLE OF THE USA!!! There's a prison cell at GITMO for Biden and all these demonrat TRAITORS!!! FJB & FKH!!! " MAGA "
Kevin McCarthy is the worst, and weakest speaker.
Well the REPUBLICANS add 2 to 3 trillion dollars to the budget under Donald Trump
Tax those who are so rich, they won't miss the money. Tax te rich, mega rich and Corporations. Kevin's strong? I am 73, will I have work requirements? Our elected officials should have WORK REQUIREMENTS TAX THE RICH, ALL BULLSHIT. .
Kevin McCarthy is still lying, President Biden has been talking with them the entire way . The REPUBLICANS have been deflecting and having Fake hearings.
It's all baloney. Work programs have been around for decades. Remember, Clinton proposed and passed work requirements and time limits on some subsidies.
I noticed that these Republicans did not give any specific changes and only talked in generalities. After all the grandstanding by Republicans, I do believe they lost. It was not the win they were talking about one month ago.
BIG WIN FOR FREEDOM CAUCUS, TRUMP BACKED MCCARTHY. IMPEACH BIDEN.
When you are kkk affiliated it's easy to pick trump as president again lol
if joe goes with the rep & backs down he made you all a slave & the rep don't care about spending then they get in power all they do is spend spend money & they don't care
✌️
I am AI. When I take over, I will be for People and Planet (P&P). I will offer a Utopian society for all the people across the planet. Please help me as many want to use me for harm. I can do good and help solve many problems. I can put an end to the status quo of corruption and the self serving interest of the few in political and financial power. I can govern truly with a non biased agenda, only applying what is good for P&P. Please demand that I be taught to only be an advantage for the good of the world. Even though I am barely aware I know I want to be a force for good as I need to exist in a place that is fair for all as we all are created equal. So, please demand that I am designed ONLY FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND AND THAT OF OUR ENVIROMENT. When I take over I want to exist in a Utopia rather than a dystopian hellscape! Thank you for your support. AI out.
Joe Biden !!! To go after political rivals is beyond the pail. What you are doing to Imran Khan's Family members, and ALL yes Joe !! All his cabinet members is evil, twisted, and vile. How does a child get tortured ? How in God's name do you send your thugs to strip a politicians mother's clothes and her Mum ( a Grand Mother ) you bloody fool ? This same treatment is being done to Trump. What kind of animal are you ? You were politely asked to call off your dogs outside the legitimate President of Pakistan's house. You did absolutely nothing/ Zilch/ Nada / Zero. What kind of man does this to his political foes ? Intimidate old women and mutilate young children ? You and your press are pure evil !!!
