"Debt ceiling talks hit a snag, negotiators press pause for now", #CNN, cnn.com/2023/05/19/politics/de

The #GOP debt hostage taking and so called negations were only a ploy. McCarthy was never going to negotiate. They were/are trying to set up #Biden.

Sure, the President needed to act like the adult and give it a try. That point is now past.

Time to put the GOP bullies in their place. No more negotiations. Either a clean debt ceiling raise, or the 14th amendment.

I mean, they already passed legislation to approve the additional borrowing power.

It's some hostage taking when Democrats set up this situation by voluntarily passing their spending bills in the last Congress without providing funding, and then not taking yes for an answer when Republicans voted it forward.

The GOP was handed hostages, they released them, and Democrats are insisting on keeping it going for some reason.
