"SNIP.......

President Joe Biden called Speaker Kevin McCarthy Monday, asking him to meet about the looming debt-limit deadline.

Biden is also calling other top congressional leaders. Biden is expected to convene a meeting of Big Four leaders.

........SNIP"

1. Make it public!

Make McCarthy squirm on camera with his bullshit excuses and expose his lies and empty rhetoric.

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. No negotiations with terrorists!

Clean bill or no bill.

Tell Kevin if he doesn’t get a clean bill to the WH by Friday, Katie Porter will introduce a Motion To Vacate The Chair, and his speakership will end.

11. McCarthy would likely prevail if the motion was initiated by Democrats.

His speakership will likely end when he caves at the 11th hour and let’s whatever the Senate has passed hit the floor.

3. Live, on all the networks

let McCarthy hang himself...

[sheshe2]

4. I hope Biden turns him over his knee and spanks him.

Make it hurt!

5. Perhaps it is time for Biden to take a page from the Putin playbook, and start giving

Republican leaders "flying lessons." I can see it now, two Secret service agents swinging McCarthy by the hands and feet, "One, two, three, toss...(screaming) Flap! Flap! Flap." SPLAT. "Damn, he didn't flap...."


(No, I am not serious)

6. I have mixed feelings about this.

I hope Biden wasn't pressured into this by the pro-R coverage of the corporate media.

7. The corporate media sure has been misrepresenting it, trying to put the blame on the WH

[walkingman]

8. Tell McCarthy to pound sand.

[Hotler]

9. Exactly. You don't need a meeting for that. nt

12. One *possible* result of default.

Brazil's president wants to end dollar dominance and backs calls for BRICS nations to use their own currency

Default could potentially feed a narrative that the dollar is unstable and it's time for the BRICS/world to move on.
