Goodbye, Two-Track Infrastructure Plan? | Talking Points Memo

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told her caucus Monday night that the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill wouldn’t be ready for a vote this week as she had planned, but she would push on ahead with a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill on Thursday anyway.

Sinema spokesperson John LaBombard

A most fitting name for the spokesperson for a Senator apparently more than willing to blow stuff up.

Garrison is so loyal, so true, so willing to die for his New! Improved! messiah that against all odds, he is going to show and tell us what. There should be a memorial for all these dopes with their names and excuses for not getting the vax.

Tank the bill for now.

Look for Nancy to vote “No”, so she can bring it back up later on a motion to reconsider.

Apparently the Republicans in the Democratic caucus are going to have to learn the hard way.

You’re in luck. There’s an online memorial.

Absolutely. Voting it down is the only option for now.

Any chance enough Republicans vote for the BIF to make up for the 40-odd progressive Dems voting against? I think last week two House GOPers came out in favor of it. That would screw us on reconciliation.

Thats that. Vote it down and walk out. Fuck Manchin and Sinema and fuck the GQP.

And do nothing to fix the GQP refusing to raise the debt ceiling or pass the CR.

Time to start burning shit down.

Essentially the Democrats are caving on the larger bill. How come most Americans never get nice things from their government. Everything for the rich on the backs of everyone else.

And yeah…we just lost both 2022 and 2024. That big infrastructure deal passes or I ain’t voting and neither are a whole lot of other people. Burn it down.

Why do repugs always refer to their grown up adult kids as “children?”

Do they think people won’t notice?

Or you could work to increase the number of progressives in the House and Senate.
