"We folded on the debt ceiling"

quote:

Senators – including 11 Republicans -- voted to approve a short-term increase to the federal debt ceiling on Thursday night, ending a weekslong standoff on Capitol Hill. Sen Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Republicans dug themselves into a hole for "folding" during an appearance on "Hannity" Thursday night.


quote:

Sen. Lindsey Graham: "Well, we screwed up. For two months, we promised our base and the American people that we would not help the Democratic Party raise the debt ceiling so they could spend $3.5 to $5 trillion through reconciliation. At the end of the day, we blinked. Two things have happened: We let our people down, and we made Democrats believe that we are all talk and no action. At the end of the day, every Republican voted against raising the debt ceiling, every Democratic senator voted for it. But we had a process in place. We made a promise, for two months, that we would make them do it without our help and we folded, and I hate that. We’re in a hole; we’ve got to dig out of this hole and we can. We shot ourselves in the foot tonight, but we will revisit this issue in December."


Mother fricker, y'all fold on every single issue to the Democrats. That's all Republican lawmakers know how to do, fold and bend over and take it up the arse. frick these people, we need a better breed of people in our side of government.

Don't fricking come at me with "Oh we folded now and every other single fricking time before this one, but come NEXT time...oh we're going to fight tooth and nail!" It isn't even just on this issue, it's every fricking issue. They "fight" for a little bit and then just fricking give up. It's truly incredible.

I'm done with the all hat no cattle Republican Party and have been since the election. Trump is 10000% correct, we need to oust every single Republican leader in congress and throughout the party and get people in there with a semblance of backbone. frick these people.

while i agree to this sentiment for madam Lindsay, the majority of the R's bend over and take it straight to their bank accounts.

Because they are, and he's one of the biggest examples...which is why his sorry arse only shows up on Hannity and not Tucker.

Lady Lindsey has been a two-faced sell-out for far too long.

(NOT that it now or EVER has bothered his "pal", Sensei Hannity one bit.)

This was a plan. Cater to the democrats the first second Biden blamed them; and then send Graham out to Sensei's show to say they didn't mean to do it. Then blame Turtle: when they are all but Rand & the HFC fully on board the Biden great reset train.

Honestly, about 95% of Republicans aren't worth a frick.

Democrats needed not one Republican to raise the debt ceiling but they gave the Democrats some Republican votes.

Makes no sense unless you realize that the two party system is just a ruse and it's really a uniparty.
