Well, he will be missed – not in those pants (remember to ask Santa for a functional economy)

October 2021

“Let me set the stage on the debt ceiling: Democrats are ready to vote to raise the debt ceiling. But Republicans are doing nothing to help, and plenty to hinder. To break the gridlock, Joe Biden has said he might revise the Senate’s filibuster rules to allow Democrats to raise the debt ceiling without Republican support. This should be a no-brainer. Just get rid of the filibuster. It’s an old rule historically used to preserve racist policies. It’s not in the constitution, and yet it’s blocking the United States’s ability to stay solvent. Keeping the filibuster would be like an EMT trying to defibrillate someone and going, ‘Here we go – oh, you know, I’d love to save his life but I can’t. He’s wearing white after Labor Day. Well, he will be missed – not in those pants.’” —Stephen Colbert

“Potentially changing the filibuster has the Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell, shaking in his orthopedic wingtips. So on Wednesday, the Kentucky senator said Republicans would allow an extension of the federal debt ceiling into December. They’re willing to avoid blowing up the world’s financial system – until Christmastime. So, everyone, remember to ask Santa for a functional economy.” —Stephen Colbert
