Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Looks like the US is set to reach the debt ceiling Thursday.
Given the batch of crazies making it mainstream in Congress, I wonder what the chances are the US actually defaults this time around?
I hate that these stupid assholes get to play with our lives like this.
This is money the US already borrowed on in past budgets. It's not new spending that magically appeared. Pay up.
The deficit hawks aren't going to like this:
McCarthy: Social Security, Medicare cuts ‘off the table’
This is not compassion, generosity nor patriotism on SINO McCarthy's part. Rather, he knows that the GQP base is OLD White men. It's pure politics.
Looking at the entire budget no fiscal responsibility is possible without slashing the prison and military industrial complexes. Won't get through the GQP House, though.

There's no debt ceiling increase without Democrats. The 18-20 most extreme wingnutties want what they want and will not compromise (global consequences be damned).
There's no Democrats with any major reforms. Maybe something to let the Republicans save a wee bit of face or more probably, just to get it done.
Kevin's about to get fish slapped from both parties and SINO's first no confidence challenge will come from the far right shortly after the debt increase passes.

The terrorists get a video guide to their next attack - passageways, exit routes, camera positions and angles, cop tactics, etc.

SINO McCarthy is de facto Speaker EmptyG's dummy. She tweeted support for TRE45QN earlier.

Kevin McCarthy's House.
When you can't legislate do something to try to stay in the news (I guess).

AOC on Jen Psaki's MSNBC show just made the same point about the Columbus crime rate
. Have I mentioned that I moonlight as one of her advisors?

Gee, what a shocker.
Wingnuts had no problem increasing a clean debt ceiling to fund the cheetohead tax cuts. This is a game of chicken they cannot win.

Goddamn, he sort of looks like that Matt Whitaker stooge trump put in as Attorney General for a few hours. This could be some sort of deep state conspiracy complete with a "far left radical Democrat" as proof of......something that has to be stomped even though it always gets away. shit
