WASHINGTON — One caller instructed Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois to slit his wrists and “rot in hell.” Another told Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska that they hoped he slipped and fell down a staircase. The office of Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of New York has been inundated with angry messages tagging her as a “traitor.”
Investing in the nation’s roads and bridges was once considered one of the last realms of bipartisanship in Congress, and President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill drew ample support over the summer from Republicans in the Senate. But in the days since 13 House Republicans broke with their party leaders and voted for the $1 trillion legislation last week, they have been flooded by menacing messages from voters — and even some of their own colleagues — who regard their votes as a betrayal.

Benefits a few, based on race as well.

Calling it “infrastructure” doesn’t make it so.

Our two GD Senators in Idaho voted “yes” for this monstrosity. One of them is up for re-election soon. I can’t wait to primary his ass out of Washington.

Some paper yesterday ran the obligatory “What’s in it for Idaho” article about all the wonderful things that will get done. What a disgusting joke. It’s all union and politician payola.

Kinzinger is slime. I doubt he will ever return to his district.

Remember Mitch McConnell had already gone on record saying the Republicans would nothing to help the Dems with the Debt ceiling because there crazy spending had brought it on themselves.

Then, when asked nice by Joe, Mitch McConnell totally and immediately caved and then Schumer embarrassed and demeaned him.

There’s no end to them doing the bidding of the Dems.

Here’s hoping those angry constituents have long memories and vote in the upcoming primaries.

Exactly. He is thinking that he could just retire into the sunset and get a 10 million dollar a year lobbying gig.

Nope. These cretins are going to be hounded to the ends of the earth. They are going to pay the price.
