They are all traitors.

You are entirely to kind I was leaning towards a bucket of gasoline thrown on the bastard followed by a lit book of matches.

[Jane Long]

They certainly do. They’re far removed from any of the policies they force on us.

Several of these Reps are facing redistricting, to Dem leaning areas. So, they chose to put themselves/their $$$$ making “career”, over country.

Even more despicable.

[mulligan]

They should all be in jail for a long, long time.

[Major Matt Mason]

They voted for this trash AFTER the GOP voters had given them some nice wins on Election Day. The tone deafness of the GOP is truly breathtaking. And worse, they could have passed a much better infrastructure bill when Trump was president, but they chose to be petty losers instead.

Backlash = zero unless tar & feathers are administered...

That's so old-fashioned. Where you gonna get tar & feathers?

Nowadays smearing their faces and forcing dog feces in their mouth is easier. And more humiliating.

[RKBA Democrat]

Backlash? What backlash? So they retire from Congress and earn 5 times as much as lobbyists. If that’s a backlash, I’d like one.

This is pork that benefits only a few.

And those who voted against it should stick to their guns and make sure that not a single dollar is spent in their district, right?

It won't be. This is to stop "social inequity" of roads and bridges.
From my Post 30: The gist of the discussion was that the roads separated white and minority neighborhoods and this money would “fix the inequity”. The truth was that it had nothing to do with race and everything to do with separating the poor and middle class/upward neighborhoods with roads. They separated according to wealth, not race.

The office of Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of New York has been inundated with angry messages tagging her as a “traitor.”

It's true, what happened to freedom of speech and opinion?

They've decided we are to be ruled over and our opinions are a threat to their power.

You are so correct...😀
Being 2-weeks short of my 88th birthday, I can remember when "tar & feathers" were still a viable threat...☹

Although, maybe someone living near the La Brea tar pits in LA could supply the items...
