You are a lying mother fricker.

After the Trump tax cuts revenues increased.

You lied yesterday and ran off. I guess this will be goodbye for today.

Yeah, I love the argument some are presenting here.

Republicans are damned if the do, damned if they don't. So lets just do the same stupid shite in these situations that we always do.

How about, no.

I keep hearing about how afraid I'm supposed to be of a default, and all of the catastrophe it will bring.

But strangely, I'm not.

The media has lost all credibility so the cry of 'WOLF' has no effect.

If the wolf turns out to be real this time then I lay all blame at the media's feet for fooling the whole of the people for too long.

The only payment that is a default must pay obligation is the interest on the current debt, the other payments are technically discretionary.

That’s why have have submitted a ton of budget cuts. Keep the debt ceiling where it is and find the money to fund the budget by cutting excessive spending in other areas. Have you never created a budget and stayed within those limits?

They, well their propagandists probably by request of the FBI, are even pre-assigning blame for a stock market drop of 20% if they dont get ceiling raised.

When that doesn’t happen when the ceiling doesn’t get raised, can we just go ahead and shoot them for being lying sacks of shite?


Remember the Obama administration’s chart for what the economy would look like if his stimulus package didn’t pass? fricking thing was better than what we actually got with his shite bill passed.

many analysts are predicting a stocks drop.

The issue is they are pre-assigning blame outside of their intentional damage to the country and economy. Slugs!

BLS hasn't been turning out false manufactured numbers, have they?

If you think they will suspend SS payments you are not paying attention. That is nothing more than a scare tactic to put pressure on the GOP.
Anyone who does that is committing political suicide - won’t happen

Corporate America fricked itself when they cut funding to the actual conservative Republicans after 1/6 and when the Chamber started funding Democrats. Real Republicans realized Corporate America hates them and they can make it without their dirty money. Now Corporate America has lost their leash.
