Also, anyone have a reading on McConnell?  It seems like the Republicans are desperate to force a default in this matter.  The question is (1) will they actually do it and not pass the debt ceiling measure, and (2) will Republicans be blamed for holding the country hostage once again, as they have been the ones who have continuously threatened to bankrupt our country.

I am so afraid that people will buy into McConnell's argument that Democrats would be responsible because they can use reconciliation to pass the bill.  Should Democrats stick it out and force Republicans to either blink or cause a default?  Any insight?

If there's a default, I don't think get the feeling this ends well for the Republicans in Congress.  Three reasons I'm feeling this way:

1)  We have a ton of predictions lately, including a bunch more that Jeanne released the other day that still show picking up seats in the midterms.

2)  I've done several card spreads that say the same thing.  

3)  Everything is cloudy right now but when I force myself ahead to the months ahead, leading up to the midterms, I don't feel anything but zen.  It's been this way for weeks now.

Coffin nails may be back ordered like everything else these days, but as far as the major tactics of the Republican Party, the gig is most definite up.

Coming on the heels of the Whistleblower's interview on 60 minutes Zuckerberg is taking a hit with the servers for Facebook and Instagram down.

@billy-mike No read, if anything I’m enjoying spreading my “delete Facebook” message to my friends. 

This right here makes me incredibly glad I left in July of 2020. https://gizmodo.com/9-horrifying-facts-from-the-facebook-whistleblowers-new-1847791184

@dannyboy Yes! I deleted it, too, a few years ago.  A certain anxiety lifted when I did.

Please let their chickens be coming home to roost!!!!

That it is so brazenly openly announced with grandiosity - Mitch McConnell and GQP orange monkeys have made abundantly clear their sole purpose is in obstructing anything that is good for the average American they are against "just because they can" and not be held accountable even as it is proven they have broken laws the rest of us are held accountable to... pisses me off to no end!!

I agree with Jen Psaki "Why let Mitch McConnell off the hook....."

Also looking to Manchin and Sinema to not be let off the hook - not working to better the common people because of their interests and owning/owing deals they've made.

The fact that Facebook had issues and was "down"? is of little consequence... don't look away and be distracted by main stream media reporting of the things that really matter - and ... do all you can to support the Vote.. the only voice we truly have left in this country. If our voices didn't count? why are they trying so so hard to silence us?????
