Saturday soapbox: good job ending the debt crisis. now let’s fucking well make sure we never have another
next time we may not be so lucky
hey Joe, hey Dems —
take a bow. you did it. you ended the debt crisis. you brought America back from the brink of financial armageddon. Joe, you got a decent Oval Office speech out of it, and you even got to claim that ‘bipartisanship’ won the day.
bueno.
now let’s fucking never do it again.
because we all know what a bad example this set. economic hostage-taking is now the norm. when the next debt crisis looms, in 2025, we’re going to go through this whole kabuki dance all over again.
and next time we may not be so lucky.
next time, the House Speaker you have to deal with might not be as feckless and easily-swayed as Kevin McCarthy, who it turns out could be bought off with a handful of magic beans.
next time, one of the Freedom Maniacs might be in charge, and those fuckers can’t wait to drive us all off a fiscal cliff.
so what do we do to prevent this?
Joe, in 2025, well before the situation becomes a crisis again, please please PLEASE announce early on that you will abide by your 14th Amendment reponsibility to pay America’s bills. I know, Republicans will scream their bloody heads off. who cares? let them. boo fucking hoo. let them whine and moan. let them threaten to take you to court. ignore them.
and Democrats, should you be lucky enough to regain the House and keep the Senate, there’s an obvious, permanent solution right in front of you: abolish the obsolete debt ceiling altogether. all it would take is a simple act of Congress.
c’est simple, n’est ce pas?
ok, good talk. let’s all savor this victory, and then let’s all make sure as fuck that we never have to have win another one.

Three Victories and One Oops.
Three times now Joe Biden has saved the nation from the jaws of death: vaccinating the nation, he loosed the grip of the plague on all of us. After the attempted coup by the lead terrorist, Mr. Biden brought forth justice, locking up hundreds of the would-be overthrowers, easing our minds about the loss of democracy. Finally, Joltin' Joe knocked out Silly Kevin "15 Rounds" McCarthy, a lunatic pushing the nation to the brink of economic apocalypse.
And what does the media focus on? Mr. Biden tripping over a sandbag left recklessly on the stage. A sandbag that anyone would have fallen over. Instead, the MSM uses it once again to remind us that Joe is 80, and they tell us 'he may not be able....'
Give me a break: Joe Biden can kick any Republican's ass any day of the week, even while stumbling over a sandbag.
But here's the real story: instead of focusing on him falling, the media NEVER reported how quickly he got back up, how he didn't break anything, how he didn't have to take the weekend off 'golfing' to recuperate.
Joe Biden has done more in his short time in office to save this nation, to redirect its future, than any other president in my lifetime. He does it while stuttering and stumbling at times, and I just love him for it, because Joe Biden is something Republicans will never be:
HUMAN.
The key is to vote. We need the House.
