As though they weren't evil enough, McConnell announced he will default on the US debt. Even Romney said he would too.
Economists say the consequences are: 6 million lost jobs. $15 trillion in lost household income. 9% unemployment, and increased borrowing costs.
This is obviously being done since it's almost impossible for Biden and Dems to win in a terrible economy, so the GOP plans on crashing the economy to make sure they win in 2022 and 2024.
I don't even know how we solve this. This country just feels like it's a lost cause. Republicans are too evil.

Using every trick in the book. Rigging the voting in the states through suppression activities and gerrymandering and defaulting on the debt.
One would think that the American People are smart enough to realize this and know that it is the Repugs that are making things difficult for them.
But after the last 4 years of TFG - I'm not so sure anymore.
I keep hoping that at the eleventh hour that the Dems will get it together and kill the filibuster and pass everything that they intend to.
I'm tired of hearing all the wonderful things that they have in store for us - but can't make them happen because of the filibuster.
We're running out of time.
I can't believe that the American People want to go back to what we had under TFG.
