Yep, and last time the debt ceiling vote came up, people on the left were imploring Democrats to raise it by a stupid amount / abolish it so they wouldn't need to go through this stupid fight again, but that was dismissed because it was 'unrealistic' or whatever.
And now Republicans are doing exactly that. After they've proven that a small caucus can take down / get concessions from the speaker of the house. Another thing some Democrats were unwilling to do.
They probably have some guys that only have a few months left to live waiting in the wings who will really stick it to Trump.
Goes without saying. The first Trump administration shows that as long as Congress doesn't impeach and convict you, none of the laws meant to rein in the executive mean anything.
And anti corruption laws. Qatar can just give him a nice plane and get anything they want in return. The EU has laws against doing stuff like that.
Yeah, once you reach a certain stage in life it's basically the only way you can do any gaming at all.
Yeah, there's not exactly a lot of role playing to be done, especially not in story mode.
Mostly because the EU isn't sending money and weapons to Russia, China, Myanmar and Sudan to continue those atrocities.
Australia is in the same boat security wise. AUKUS is a scam.
I'm not saying it doesn't count as a genocide, but it's kind of rich to call this out while providing weapons and political support for another genocide.
Wasn't she rumoured to have blown him as well?
They have nukes and military bases everywhere, it'll affect everyone, there's no way the mess stays contained within the US.
The debt ceiling has always been used by Republicans to pressure Democrats into further concessions that would otherwise not have been needed to give. Remember, the debt ceiling is just an extra hurdle towards spending money that was already appropriated by Congress. So Congress as a whole voted to spend all that money and thus a certain amount of debt. The CBO can calculate exactly how much something will cost, so if you're worried about what tax cuts/spending would do to the debt, you can always find out. There's no need to have an additional thing on top of that that can randomly shut down the government.
