How Democrats may bypass the GOP with the debt ceiling

[Votto]

Democrats have been plotting since January to deploy an obscure legal strategy that could bypass Kevin McCarthy and force a debt ceiling vote if Republicans send the country to the edge of default

The strategy, using an arcane and rarely successful maneuver called a discharge petition, requires months of legal prep to pull off.

As we all know, the DNC is lawless and always gets their way, so this may happen.

Apparently, if 213 Democratic members, plus five Republicans, need to sign the petition to bypass leadership.

Sweet!

Then it is spend, spend spend!!

Ain't inflation great!

The GOP/RNC loves the debt spending, one world without borders & the world cop program as much or more than the DNC does. There is a reason WHY the U.N. just happens to be based in the USA!

The last president to be a deficit hawk was Carter.

They do love the debt ceiling.

It provides drama and gets them in the news, right before they raise it 100% of the time.

Yes .. the Democrats are so concerned with the debt ceiling, that they abandoned that responsibility and punted that problem to Republicans when vacating the majority in 2022. Biden and Schumer thought Republicans would fold .. and now they have to actually do adult things and negotiate.

This was likely the plan for both parties all along.

I said a couple weeks ago that a few Repubs in safe seats would side with the Dems in the end so that the rest of the Repubs can be like "well, we tried" and all the sheep will go "yep, they tried" and keep voting for them.
