Trump doubled down on his desire for a debt limit patch today, telling NBC News’ Garrett Haake that he’s keen to get rid of the limit entirely, not just raise the ceiling: “Democrats have said they want to get rid of it. If they want to get rid of it, I would lead the charge,” Trump said. “It doesn’t mean anything, except psychologically.”

Democrats should absolutely take Trump up on this proposal. The debt ceiling is a terrible law and is very destructive to the financial health of the US. If we could get rid of it, it would be one of the best things Congress did during the entire Biden presidency.

So let's say at the end of his term, Trump announces that as an official act of his office he will continue as president for an indefinite period.

Who would enforce his removal from office ?

His SCOTUS ?
His DOJ ?
His House of Representatives ?

Should a Dem controlled House impeach would cowardly GQP Senators risk a primary with a MAGA stooge and convict ?

Should he be impeached and convicted , who would enforce his removal from office ?

This is hilarious and cute at the same time. He will be 82. He might not make it through this term. And the answer to your question is the American public would enforce his removal. Americans aren't supporting a king move. Millions of Americans can put tremendous pressure on anyone and on the g'ment. But hope you will continue with the hilarity of omg, what if 82 year old trump refuses to leave the white house after his term is over.

Would be a lot more convincing if all you guys had voted against the man who wants to be a king.
 




“… The bill would require the support of Democrats, and it was unclear whether they would agree. The legislation would extend current fiscal levels until mid-March, provide $110 billion in relief to help natural-disaster survivors and aid farmers, and grant an extension for the farm bill, which must be reauthorized. …”

I agree but they should leverage permanent elimination of the debt ceiling to get something back from Trump.

We simply recognize what an asinine and preposterous worry that is. I mean you could get hit by a meteor when walking outside too. The two are about as likely to happen.

Is the Third Time a Charm?

"Speaker Mike Johnson will try yet again to pass a short-term funding bill this afternoon, just hours before a government shutdown is set to begin. But this time it seems likely to work," Punchbowl News
politicalwire.com politicalwire.com

“Johnson is now pushing a short-term funding bill that keeps federal agencies open until mid-March. The bill will include $100 billion in disaster aid for the hurricane-battered Southeast and other states. There’s also $30 billion in aid for farmers and a one-year extension of current agriculture policy.”

“The measure will be taken up under suspension, according to senior GOP lawmakers and aides, meaning it needs a two-thirds majority to pass. There will be one vote, instead of individual votes on the component parts as Johnson first envisioned.”

“If House Democrats back it – which seems likely – and the Senate processes it quickly, the measure could be approved by tonight’s midnight shutdown deadline and sent to President Joe Biden for his signature.”

You are so basic. You think you're smart and then you actually think he really cares about that at all??

He cares about his own power and wealth. Nothing else.

You might be cf's twin brother.

So evil billionaire who is leading the way away from fossil fuels, supports free speech so much that he bought a social media platform because it was guilty of censorship, and wants to eliminate wasteful g'ment spending. Damn, he needs to be shot. Face it, you are just angry because he supports all the things you, as a liberal are supposed to support, but secretly don't unless it agrees with your pov.

What am I not supposed to like here. I get that you don't want trump and DOGE to succeed. But billions in pork spending got cut? I'm sorry but I like that. Guess what, it got done and the g'ment didn't shut down. I'm guessing America will like that too.

Looks like the main differences in this bill compared to the bipartisan deal are (1) it’s for a much shorter time, and (2) it removes the limits on American investment in China. (1) just means the Pubs will have to deal with all this again in three months, all on their own. (2) was the reason Elon objected to the bipartisan bill in the first place, so congrats to him I guess. He can become even more filthy rich by doing business with one of our main enemies.

Otherwise, the bill that finally passed didn’t really cut any spending. It just extended existing spending for a shorter time.
