Those two worthless Democrats are getting pressure from the left, the middle and the far-right. They are being called out by the progressive members, the moderates and the President of the United States.

Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) as well as the 50 seditious traitors in the Republican minority are the distractions to President Joe Biden's agenda.

The two Democrats, the coal brain hillbilly and madam pink wig bisexual elitist are slowly coming to a conclusion that the Karens aren't willing to work with them. Sen. Karen Romney (R-UT), Sen. Karen Portman (R-OH), Sen. Karen Collins (R-ME) and Sen. Karen Murkowski (R-AK) are no longer considered the moderate wing. Washed Up 45 grab them by the.....!

The coal brain hillbilly faced protesters from his luxury yacht. Madam pink wig bisexual elitist faced protesters as she was trying to take a shit.

They are going to face nights where they won't be able to sleep if protesters start blaring noises at their homes.

Senate Democrats are facing mounting pressure to increase the nation’s debt threshold by Oct. 18, amid concern from the Biden administration that the U.S. could default on financial obligations.

Republicans in the upper chamber, who have already voted twice against raising the U.S. debt limit, are expected to block another vote Wednesday.

Earlier this week, reports showed Democrats were considering changing chamber rules to create an exception to the filibuster and allow the debt limit to be increased by a simple majority. 

"I've been very, very clear where I stand, where I stand on the filibuster," Manchin told reporters Wednesday. "Nothing's changing. But the bottom line is we have a responsibility to be the adults. Our leadership has a responsibility to lead and that's what I'm asking, imploring them to do."

Democrats will be left with little option but to look at pushing through a ceiling hike by way of budget reconciliation – an option that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said last week was a "non-starter."

Budget reconciliation is a tool the Senate majority could use to fast track budget measures without any support from the minority, and a way to bypass a filibuster blockade – which would require at least 10 Republicans to cross party lines.

Congress was able to reconcile a 2010 budget in 13 days when the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act was passed.

And most recently, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan under the reconciliation process in 15 days.

But Schumer is concerned this legislative tool will prove too complex to push through both chambers in just 12 days. 

"Going through reconciliation is risky to the country," Schumer told reporters. "Going through the long, convoluted, difficult reconciliation process with debt limit is very, very risky."

"We’re not pursuing that," he added.

But Obstructionist Leader Karen McConnell (R-KY) pushed for this route Wednesday, arguing Democrats "have plenty of time to get it done."

"There would be potential for time agreements to wrap it up well before any danger," he said speaking from the Senate floor. 

McConnell on Monday urged President Biden to "engage directly" with Senate Democrats to get all his colleagues on board, warning that no Republicans will assist in raising the debt ceiling. 

White House officials have warned that defaulting on financial obligations could pose a national security threat.

Manchin urged the Senate leaders ahead of Wednesday’s vote to get together to find a solution to prevent a federal default.

"We are not going to default as a country. We will not default. That's the responsibility we have as senators, as Congress, as 535 of us responsible to protect this great country," Manchin said. "I implore them, engage, start working, work this out. This should not be a crisis."

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has gotten fed up with the two. He went public to demand the two tell them what they want so the Democrats can pass the agenda. Sinema continues to not publicly state her position. Manchin wants to limit it but won't say which parts of the deal he wants to keep or remove.

There's too much shit going on in Washington, DC.
