Republicans Giddy And Full Of Glee About Their Debt Ceiling 'Hostage' (America)
This close to sending Biden the US economy's severed ear in an envelope.

Every cop show from the past 30 years taught us a few things: Never negotiate with terrorists, don't give in to blackmailers because they'll only come back for more, and most women officers are models.
These first two lessons loom large during the ongoing debt ceiling negotiations. Republicans are holding the nation's economy hostage and demanding far-right policy concessions in exchange for not causing a devastating recession. They're not masking their perfidy, either.
Although originally President Joe Biden was the tough cop refusing to negotiate with hostage takers or give in to blackmail, he's changed his position recently, probably because presidents don't usually win re-election when Americans are standing in bread lines. He's willing to negotiate in good faith with Republicans who only act in bad faith. He'll at least consider a spending freeze and maybe some work requirements for deadbeat poor people.
This week, Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said, "We're willing to discuss freezing spending at current levels. That's an inherently reasonable position many in our party might even be uncomfortable with, but President Biden recognizes we're in a divided government situation."
Rethuglican GQP is going to fuck America because they refuse to pay the bills they already charged to the nations credit card. Good-bye the Land of the Free and the home of the Brave.
