it's such an empty threat that i was watching a sam seder video where he mentioned it and didn't even know what he was talking about - that's how obscure and absolutely toothless the idea is.

i was just like "what?".

i mean, it seemed like he was talking about the 'grand bargain' in 2011, which i remember well enough as empty theatre. they created this silly drama around the debt ceiling, as though that was a real issue, rather than a routine and almost entirely meaningless process to increase it, in order to create pressure to bring in austerity measures that were mostly targeted at the military. i at least remember that.

but, he was actually talking about this obscure law passed in 2010 that's never been used, as some kind of scare mongering tactic to push through with the end of the filibuster, which was absolutely ridiculous as an argument.

i'd never even heard of this law - that's how obscure and meaningless it is. it's never been used and it never will be.

so, why is the fake left media trying to scare you like this? are they going to play ball with the austerity hawks? they're all a bunch of conservatives in leftists clothing, remember - all of them, from warren to uygur and everybody in between.
