Give me your credit card, or ... .

Give me your credit card, or we want a f'n divorce.

Congressional Shopaholic

The White House has warned of "catastrophic" consequences if a deal is not reached by August 2, rejecting the idea that Obama could invoke an obscure constitutional clause to raise the debt limit.

Several House Democrats planned to hold a news conference on Thursday to urge Obama to take that option if necessary. [Full]


"The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law ... shall not be questioned," it reads.  But, is this an argument about not paying our debt?  Or an argument with a crazy bitch who keeps charging more stuff to the credit card?   Rhetorical question of course, but that sliver from the 14th Amendment does not begin to apply here.  We'll pay our debts, but we want the credit card, and we want a lot of useless crap she purchased returned (like Obamacare).  At least I hope that's what we want.

I wonder if there has been much increase in turnover in the Presidential Secret Service guard detail these last couple of years. I wonder if there has been an increase in the number of agents protecting Biden.
Biden/2011.
