McConnell is doubling down on his months-long threats to block any efforts to hike the debt ceiling, arguing Democrats control all the levers of power in Washington — even though Republicans did so numerous times under Trump with the help of Democrats.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is doubling down on his months-long threats to block any efforts to hike the debt ceiling, arguing Democrats control all the levers of power in Washington and have a responsibility to raise it on their own -- even though Republicans did so numerous times under former President Donald Trump with the help of Democrats.

"I'm not going to say anything's impossible but the consistent message from our caucus is that will take additional time, series of votes and delay, which is exactly what McConnell wants. He knows the outcome," said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate. There is, however, another option that wouldn't require GOP support: Democrats could bring the debt ceiling to the floor, and Republicans could just agree not to filibuster it.

I am not allowed to say what I think about this. I will just say that he is pretty old. But unfortunately, it may be true what they say about 'only the good'.

Get it together Democrats! Don’t over complicate your message. Call out their hypocrisy every time you’re interviewed. Use all legal means. The simple record of their actions are indefensible.

Dem-“we’ve tried absolutely nothing and we’ve run out of ideas”

Hypocrites
