Reopening was NEVER about the economy, this proves it. If they cared about the economy they wouldn't be trying to crash it doing this shit
Bullheadbelly
Republicans be that way
areis30
if a country defaults, the first thing should be seizing all of politicians assets.
Demagur
Destroy the economy so you can blame the next guy...
oldguyexlurker
They WANT the economy to crater under a Democratic president. That's their best bet to regaining power.
MarcUK
That's Twice Impeached Former President Donald Trump.
Gryphonosiris
GOP policy: spend a fuck-ton of money then refuse to pay for it and blame the Democrats.
ButtSweat10
At this rate, America's gonna lose everything

i don't believe that ANYone is still ignorant or stupid enough to not see the hypocrisy. republicans voters support them for something else.
StanielRonathan
The hypocrisy is a virtue to them
Mostlydeadpool
the great republican scam in action.

Good job, call them on all their shit. Name names.

It's supposed to be satire. Supposed to be.
sc363
They do this every time there's a dem in. It's a pathetic power play
gorillaClutch
If they can't be in charge they are quite happy burning our country to the ground
graehall
They're happy burning the country to the ground when they are in charge too. It's what gets them off. Causing suffering & growing power.
ChickenROAR
He's good business man, best even. Increase national debt, how could this have happen?

rongoins1
GOP dont care about the average citizens, they have always cared about making Big Business happy. They are just a CULT now
LincLoud
I like that he doesn't mince words and gets to the heart of who is responsible. It may fall on many deaf ears but I still appreciate it.
Bojovnik84
Don't call your rep. That doesn't do shit. Show up to their house. Chase them in to a bathroom dtall. Get on their yacht.
mycatToastwasafatasshole
If America defaults on it's debts, won't that send the entire world into a depression? Or is it not as big a deal as before?

SOMEBODY STOP THE GQP TERRORISTS OR WE'RE SERIOUSLY FUCKING SCREWED
Yourpoliticalpartyisaterroristorganization
Republicans are pieces of shit
ameriki
My Representative does not represent me. He represents white Republicans.
philmoregraves
Catch 22. If they approve it they will blame biden, it they don't approve it and tank the economy, they will blame biden. Honestly I say>
philmoregraves
Fuck it, let them tank it. Run ads showing how they failed, and let ppl attack the rich for their tax breaks we wouldn't repeal
DI2EAD
Presidency, House and Senate and still can’t get anything done.

Dems control both chambers and have the presidency, they are not fighting the GOP, they are fighting each other. That’s the problem
walnutbreath
Instead of suspending spending when we hit the debt limit, we should start rescinding tax cuts until we balance the budget. We'll never hear
walnutbreath
"debt ceiling" again.
Ruhig
DO IT. Seems like an easy fix. Get them to finally fucking put up, or shut up.
Ruhig
(Not that they'll ever shut up of course though. They'd explode from the methane buildup if they closed their mouths too long.)
CosmicSurfingInstructor
Can’t repeal it. Those billionaires are also buddies with Dem leadership. Otherwise it would have been repealed by executive order on day 1
SJohnson23
I mean, that’s not how any of that works but hey, you keep saying “both sides” until everything collapses.
Antelino
I’ll watch it all collapse as dems don’t pass shit to help the people who elected them. Similar to another party. Got healthcare yet?
SJohnson23
Obamacare got literally millions of Americans healthcare.
Ruhig
Yeah, that does make it problematic, but they could at least make a show of it.
BastardMan1977
Republicans are going to tank the economy to "own the fucking libs." JFC I never thought I see this shit in my lifetime
Saigon333
We’ve seen it since Obama was President.
dirtyhotdogbongwater
Unless you are 4 years old ...you have seen it before!
Dalael
Woa never saw a 1yr old who can type so well
69thStPepper
Shit, they've done this every time there is a power shift for the last 40 years
NeverDownvoteMelBrooks
Closer to 50 years

You see it every time there's a Democrat president.

1metalnation
Yeah, not without immense Republican interference and resistance. Which is what he was saying. Every time there's a Dem president the GOP 1/

fights tooth and nail to prevent them from doing anything so they can campaign on "LoOk At ThE dEmS, tHeY jUsT sIt AnD dO nOtHiNg"
TrueLegateDamar
Republicans sabotaged South-North Vietnam peace talks to make LBJ look bad and get Nixon elected.
Flamingphoenix32
Considering there has been more republican presidents than democrats, it really shows how absolutely fucking useless they are.
AwesomeName
It's their plan. Tank the economy, refuse to raise the debt ceiling, and when the Democrats are forced to raise taxes: point fingers.
Hammertulski
"Own the libs" is the by-line they use to get their shitbrain voters to support whatever it takes to make the GOP filthy fucking rich.
Hammertulski
"Why shouldn't we tax the ultra-wealthy?" "It'll own the libs." "By god, he's right. Take my vote and my money."
Klbebop
alcaray
It's been pretty much continuous when Dems are in the Whitehouse, since the 80s.
sweetandsalty
How old are you? 12?
copperdomebodhi
They trust their followers to blame the Democrats no matter who's responsible.
Demagur
They're literally letting themselves die to own the libs. How is this any dumber?
oldguyexlurker
I think they're counting on more dead people. Not just dead Republicans. The fewer voters... the more likelihood of election of Republican
CredibleInformant
If you didn't expect this in your lifetime, you haven't been paying attention.
mratio
Or are in your twenties.
CredibleInformant
Anyone who was in grade school during 9/11 should have seen this coming. I expect a full societal break down by my 40's.
mratio
Growing up listen to to B52’s on tactical alert made me think the world would vaporize in minutes, now societal breakdown feels like “Meh.”
CredibleInformant
Agreed. Expected, not feared. If I survive any catastrophe, I'll give it a month or two to decide if I just off myself. No worries though!
hamburgerous
I still refuse to believe they'll actually let a default happen. They're irredeemable shits, but this just isn't smart bastarding.
livurz
That aren't using smart voters. Small price to pay for 2022 and 2024.
FuzzyWalrus
I dunno, they keep ratcheting up the crazy. Anything is possible.
HaloArchitect
This will tank their own investments, as well as those of their donor/owners.
CurbYourClassWar
No, they will make money out of it somehow. And years later we'll get a movie or two about it with margot robbie explaining it to us.
76000BatteryLlamas
All their money is in the Caymen Islands. Dump stock before they announce default, buy the dip, finally pass spending = profit.
hamburgerous
This is what I'm afraid of too.
mratio
They’ve done it before and they’ll do it again, they know exactly what they’re doing. Same as it ever was.
oozabooza
Republicans are evil, I remember a time when they weren't, I just disagreed with them. But they are an evil bunch of bastards now.
Frozenspokes
I used to be a Republican leaning independent. Not any more. The party is dead to me.
Suntok
I remember a time when I claimed to be centrist, or even center right. Now I'm a flaming liberal, and my positions haven't even moved much.
CaroleBaskingShark
Right around the radicalization of the tea party. They got SO FUCKING BUTTHURT about the black guy they resolved to never be sane again.
oozabooza
Right!! When McCain died the whole thing imploded. Romney is still out there trying to be sane (relatively). Ironic the two Republicans 1/2
oozabooza
who tried to keep the party on the rails were the ones nom'ed by their own party as the presidential candidate
CaroleBaskingShark
Ronny just knows his Mormonland base will never turn on him so he's secure enough to play the voice of reason but he's just as interested/
CaroleBaskingShark
In coddling the rich and making the supreme court a theocratic batters box. I don't trust him for a second
oozabooza
i agree with you
