Bipartisan infrastructure bill,

Let's cut to the chase, will there be 10 GQPers vote for this? I'm sorry for being a pessimist but I watched those Charley Brown cartoons where Lucy always pulls the football away. This, to me is just another example of the GQP running out the clock. Let's talk turkey, Mitch McConnell said he was going to pull away the football every time, why don't Democrats believe him?

The GQP obstructs and then later, with the help of the MSM, Democrats get saddled with failing to make the field goal, failing to legislate. Why keep falling into the same trap? I don't get it. Voters aren't going to reward Democrats for being nice.

The Republicans are killing it.

The Dems will have to go it alone on a $3.5 Trillion deal. Good.
