I think it's likely the R House members demanding terms for raising the debt ceiling...

...is a smoke screen. I think it's more likely they plan to block any increase in the debt ceiling and thereby drive America's economy (and the world's) right off a cliff.

Much more effective than lighting the Reichstag on fire.

Before Boebert, Greene, Gaetz, et al. threaten to default on the debt...

...and give the world economy a multi-trillion dollar haircut and make a whole lot of wealthy people throughout the world a lot less wealthy, they might contemplate the fate of Jamal Khashoggi,who was just a journalist saying stuff.

Important to remember that an American debt default will cause a WORLDWIDE crisis.

What do you suppose the other countries will do after we totally eff their economies?

If the Republican Party is this broken, maybe it's time that some R's switch parties.

Enough to hand control back to the D's.

Either that, or Biden should restart the discussion about minting the trillion-dollar coin.
