#11  There will be a negotiation and it needs to start with the model showing the reason for the magic drop dead date, the repeal of the omnibus and an audit of the Ukraine spending.

You can’t pass an omnibus in a lame duck session with explosive spending in December and announce a debt crisis in January. It’s bipolar.

We need some answers on the Ukraine spending as well. I remember a 70s game show with the setting of a Hawaiian volcano where the contestant stepped into a transparent corn popper room where a bunch of currency was blasting around and they tried to grab as much random paper money as possible. It feels like we are letting Zelensky do the same thing with our cash.

Neither am I up for approval of ANYTHING further for Ukraine until I see real info about the bio labs there. If Putin invaded because our proxies were doing COVID creation research on his border, I am willing to trade him Fauci, Hunter Biden, Pelosi’s kid and Kerry’s kid to fill any openings in their hard labor camps.

#9  The House needs to leverage this debt limit. The Biden administration needs to cut the budgets of many departments and maybe cut entire departments. They need to pull back on Ukraine and quit destroying the country in order to destroy the evidence.

#8  Like that scene in Flash Gordon where they stick their hands in the hole, every violation is a vax shot.

#2  remember, Biden's spokeswhores started out with: "Approve it, as-is. We're not negotiating"

Which was markedly similar to Obama's "Don't call my bluff"

#1  We've been at war somewhere for the majority of the time since the end of WWII. Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts have ended. The MIC desperately needs a war.
