It’s mostly pork. It could be worse. But we’ll live. We’ll have to watch out for “build back better” bill. Hope Manchin and Sinema remains solid.
No, you obviously don't understand the gravity of 31 Republicans (18 in the Senate & 13 in the House) voting for the fake infrastructure bill.
Machin has already said he'll vote for BBB when it's in the $1.75-$2T range. He's got his infrastructure bill now. Him and Sinema are going to vote for this and our country will be destroyed.
I am just furious at Kevin McCarthy and GOP Chair Rona.
Why do we need to care about Manchin and Sinema when there are 32 “Republicans” willing to pass such disasters. If they would have needed 33, they would have got 33. If they needed 43, they would have got 43.
I can understand that many of the 32 that voted for this thing are NeverTrump folks, Lindsey Graham at the top of that list.
However, Malliotakis ran as a Trump supporting Republican. She’s a fraud just like all the rest. Hoping to see someone step up next year to challenge her.
And when they all head down to Florida, I’m more than hoping that President Trump tells them all to wait outside while he finishes another round, gets something to eat and attends to some other things.
More importantly before the usual crowd chimes in about President Trump backing or supporting, this person or that person, the man has absolutely no idea what they’re going to do if/when they get in office. IE...Sasse and quite a few others. He cannot control that. The only people that can are the voters. I’m sure all the heavy construction company owners on Staten Island are licking their chops over this bill. Wait until they’re all left out in the cold when none of that money starts flowing into their pockets. Won’t be hard for AOC to demand that the construction companies that get the money are minority owned and controlled. That pretty much squeezes out all the Greeks and Paesan’s that are waiting to submit bids.
From this point on, I really wish President Trump will tell anyone wanting his support that, for now, he is done with it. He’s done being stabbed in the back repeatedly by the likes of Sasse, Malliotakis, and all the others and that he’s withholding any and all support. He’ll encourage folks to vote Republican, but no longer putting his stamp of approval on anyone.
Be interesting to see how the RNC, who’ll probably love it, and the voters will react. Voters will be furious, but in a good way, I think.
