It's good to see there are at least some Republicans who still care about the advancement of our nation and not letting our infrastructure fall behind and crumble, as opposed to all of the other jackasses who've placed partisanship ahead of what's best for the country.

How naive are you to not know that the six knew that it would pass? Do you think they don’t count votes? You think it’s some big surprise?

Do you think they're making some monumental statement by not voting for it? They look churlish and immature.

Monumental statement? No. Did their vote - that didn’t change the outcome of the bill - say that they still want all the other things accomplished? Yes. They don’t look churlish and immature. Churlish and immature is all the Republicans who couldn’t be bothered to vote for progress in America, who don’t want safe roads and bridges, who don’t want rural people to have access to broadband. That’s churlish and immature.

If those six votes had tanked the bill, I’d agree with you. But it didn’t, and I don’t.

Add Bernie to that mix. Take a look at his career accomplishments. Almost ZERO bills he's passed, except for a few garbage items like renaming a post office. Bernie is known for basically being an assh*Le to work with. The squad is similar.

As an immigrant, people like this are the reason I moved over to the republican party. From what I see, the republicans have often had achievements and careers outside politics. They aren’t just complaining adult sized babies who throw tantrums all day that they aren’t allowed to spend even more of someone else’s money. I know not all democrats are that bad, but I just can’t stand the ones who are.

Even the ‘good’ ones like Biden have done nothing with their lives except spend our money. There should be term limits for all politicians so they are forced to work for a living at least some of the time.

This makes no sense. When you're negotiating, everyone rarely gets everything they want. Should everyone have voted no to show they still want something more? So yes, they look childish.

Really? Is that THE reason you moved over to the Republican Party? Do you usually make important decisions based on emotions?

Out of curiosity, how do you feel about Republicans like Trump?

How much negotiation took place during the Trump tax bill? How much negotiation took place for installing the three illegitimate SC justices? How much negotiation ever takes place when the Repukes are in charge?

No. They don’t look childish. Your insistence that they do is beginning to look childish though.

What does any of this have to do with the current topic at hand? You sound unhinged.

+1 The nutters inevitably show their true character.

No. It moved forward in the rules committee and will be taken up after the recess. More info in the thread about the two bills.

The BBB will pass the House by mid November.

What happens in the Senate is pretty much up to Sinema and Manchin.

Something will pass, but what it is, who knows.

The spending in both bills should be allocated to each state based on how their representatives and senators voted.

The formula would be like this. Each senators’ vote for the bill would count as 25% of the allocated funds. The other 50% of funding would be divided by your representatives’s vote.

It’s deader than dead and thank goodness. Thanks to the idiocy of the progressives, their stunts, and their kitchen sink policies we have far more to worry about.

Neat. Can we apply this to other legislation? If your Congressional representatives don't support it, your state doesn't have to follow the regulations?

More BS from the Squad.

The refusal to acknowledge that there are entire swaths of people in this country that disagree with the other side and elected representatives to vote for the exact opposite of what progressives are pushing is odd. At least when republicans obstruct legislation, they say it's what only their constituents want. It's odd to insist progressives are representing everyone when clearly half the country doesnt want progressive policy.
