Houses passes debt ceiling bill

This is correct. There are two parties so that when the government does whatever it wants (hint: they always will) and one side's voters are upset, they can then blame the voters of the other party when in fact it is government that wronged them, not the other party's voters. Anyone who believes otherwise probably thinks pro wrestling is real, too.

Best thing anyone can do is ignore it all, since they're too big to be brought down. Don't support them with tax dollars, don't re-tweet them, don't attend their parties, indulge in as many harmless acts of disobedience as possible, don't participate in any way. Just live your life and be happy. Any power anyone feels that they have to control anything political in this country is an illusion at best, a deception at worst.

Blasphemy! Pro wrestling IS real.

What I love is how he tries to spin it, the most news media, to the most watched tv channels.

I'm sorry... most people recognize that NBC/ABC/CBS has actual news programming. Let's break it down for you:

JUST the Evening News on each channel: Q3 2022

ABC: 7,406,000 viewers
NBC: 6,874,000 viewers
CBS: 4,938,000 viewers

Fox News has an hour long news program from 6pm to 7pm and only gets on average 2,500,000 viewers.

Leading cable news networks in the United States in February 2023, by number of primetime viewers (in thousands)



Characteristic Primetime Aged 25-54
Fox News 2,262 299
MSNBC 1,165 119
CNN 587 122

Fox News media blows away all the left’s news media.

You are only counting "Cable News Networks" and nothing else.

SPOILER: Cable News Networks is not the only news media in the United States. In fact, as I have illustrated, it is only a small share of the actual news media.

Did you want to move that goal post a little more now?

There's no way you don't dig in your heels to continue with your stupidity.

You know 7,000,000 is not the same as 7.0, right?

To anyone that thinks our spending and debt isn’t a big deal, take a look at this graph. Notice the huge spike in debt beginning in 2020 and its relationship to GDP. Covid is over. This level of government spending is simply unsustainable.

All you have to do is read anything Seran posts and apply the opposite, and that's the news.

As expected the House debt ceiling bill died in the Senate, a timely abortion of an ill-conceived notion. Meanwhile, Biden and McCarthy will be meeting soon to discuss why the Republicans need to stop trying to hijack our country's ability to pay it's debt.
