Biden To Hold Bipartisan Meeting With Lawmakers On Infrastructure Plan Today

@geographyjones

Walls, moats and drawbridges are the principle elements of any conservative infrastructure plan.

You left out string and tin cans for the rural folk.

[tiowally]

This ought to be as fruitful as a fallow field.

I’m not sure I agree on pulling the bill apart. If you give them $800 and no tax increase you will let them say “infrastructure is done”.

@steviedee111

With $1.2 billion set aside for alligators.

We need new alligators because when Benedict Donald drained the swamp all the old ones disappeared.

President Joe Biden is slated to meet with Democratic and Republican lawmakers from both chambers of Congress at the White House on Monday afternoon to discuss his sweeping infrastructure proposal.
… … … …
Good luck Joe. But don’t expect even civility from any goober who may show up to your meeting.

@sickneffintired

Give them the opportunity to put forth their proposal for a grand total of $299.99 in infrastructure spending before he tells them Fuck off , we’re doing it anyway

That’s a lotta dough for a Goober to spend on anything. You’re being quite generous.

Hey! Lookit …no batteries needed so ya save on energy!!/sn
We could get Mexico to pay for it all.

Those Fox folk tried to trip Buttigieg up on the infrastructure plan, but then they stumbled over their own words. It’s crystal clear they have no idea the extent of what infrastructure is, or why Republican’s think that any public money for infrastructure is best spent kicking the can down the road. So it has been. So it shall be. Democrats are redefining what it means to be an American. Republicans are very uncomfortable with that because responsible, worthwhile spending forces them off their message of fear, and they lose their power and control.

That’s the can the rural folk need for communication.
(fyi… I grew up very rural and I still wake up way too damn early)

[neinast]

Well, maybe they should accept the Republican $800 billion offer and see if the Republicans really will go along with passing that (without budget reconciliation). And then go ahead and pass their additional $1.2 trillion using budget reconciliation.

[SereneTsunami]

Yup, this is act 2 of “I’m an mavericky centrist but the GOP wont meet me in the middle” theatre. Next is the WV Gov coming out and saying this bill will be great for folks in West Virginia.

[old_curmudgeon]

Political theater. In other words, a necessary waste of time.

Wait a minute!

Isn’t that 299.99 the Earl Shieb special?

Ya That’s it We’ll repaint the Presidential Limo
Done and Done

So we still have Trump’s steel tariffs, those tariffs were designed to help the US steel industry, but just made prices higher. There’s so much back and forth on should Biden scrap Trump’s tariff or keep it.

No, no, no…That’s the cost of 1 My Pillow Deluxe. Republicans would rather spend that much to sleep on it.

@discobot

the senators in the bipartisan group include Sens. John Hickenlooper (D-CO), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Mitt Romney (R-UT), John Hoeven (R-ND) and Angus King (I-ME).

They will be joined by Reps. Charlie Crist (D-FL), Norma Torres (D-CA), Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), Kay Granger (R-TX) and Carlos Gimenez (R-FL).

I’m guessing that all involved will consider the meeting a fruitless waste of time. Someone send an Edible Arrangement so that there is at least some fruit.

Yikes! a blast from the past! (I thought he said $29.95! in that gravelly voice).

trump would supply a pile of cheese burgers. And two scoops for each. And then tweeter about how great a negotiator he was.

Was listening to NPR this morning, explored Biden’s carbon neutral plans for the nation. Some specialist in the energy sector stated the domestic coal industry would be essentially non-existent by 2050.
