Summary

Donald Trump criticized former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for extending the debt ceiling to June 2025, calling it “one of the dumbest political decisions” in years.

Trump argued the move shifted responsibility for the debt ceiling crisis from the Biden administration to Republicans, blaming it for McCarthy’s loss of the Speakership.

Trump claimed the extension gained Republicans nothing and warned Democrats might exploit the issue to harm the GOP, likening the potential fallout to the 1929 Great Depression.

Trump urged immediate action to shift blame back to Democrats.

    I’m trying to figure out what line Dems are supposed to toe on immigration. H1B visas should be denied to stop low wage tech laborers from entering the US, but the borders should be open to any and all who are fleeing violence or poor economic conditions?

      Well it should be used for what is needed. Mostly farm workers and low lever service jobs as our population has become more educated and reluctant to take those jobs. We definitely have enough software engineers and developers but corporations who will lie to save money on wages. Democrats should be protecting those jobs, the ones we do have the workers for and accepting immigration for the jobs we don’t. But political bribes have changed that definition to where is makes no sense anymore.
