1. Exactly..they never had any intention of moving forward with a bipartisan bill

They are running out the clock and trying to make Biden look bad. That’s all they ever had in mind

[Midnight Writer]

2. I bet they are deciding what would be best for our Country.

[mahina]

3. Good one

Let’s go with that

[Budi]

4. No doubt.

(head in hands weeping)

[Champp]

10. You so funny

[Brother Mythos]

20. Of course they are. I mean, ...

what reason would anyone ever have to think otherwise?

[peggysue2]

5. Donnie has already put out the word

No bipartisan agreements until after the mid-terms. And . . . the Trumpers are hoping that will end the entire infrastructure deal.

Because these people are not concerned about Americans. Only their path to power. Anything to hurt the Biden Administration is A-Okay.

Wait for the excuses.

[Budi]

6. Yup. Stall & blame Biden.

[HariSeldon]

8. Democratic response to blockage MUST be punative

2.5% per year wealth tax on personal wealth above $10,000,000. Let the Republicans beg to come back to the table to get some of that cut, and force them to accept expansion of the Supreme Court, For the People Act, John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and anything else the country needs and the Republicans have stood in the way of.

7. Negotiate, negotiate, no. Negotiate, negotiate no. Negotiate, negotiate, no...

It's the repub way.

Just give up the 'bipartisanship' bullshit, fold everything into the reconciliation bill and pass it.

[Bucky]

9. McCarthy RN...

talking to a mrror

[Vinca]

11. They're only getting Mitch's order for the bill: just say no.

If this thing ever passes, it will be because Mitch McConnell dropped dead of Covid and took all the GOP senators with him.

[Budi]

14. THIS ⬆️

Thanks

[rurallib]

12. negotiate the bill down to nothing and then block it

Haven't we seen this movie before?

[ornotna]

13. They may have a deal

per CNN

[Budi]

15. A deal only because Pelosi leaked a list of all the pukes going down in the Jan 6 'neuremburg trial

[ornotna]

16. You may be on to something

17. GOP circle jerk

18. Axios: Bipartisan group reaches agreement on $1.2 trillion "hard" infrastructure bill

After weeks of long nights and endless Zoom calls, a bipartisan group of senators finally reached a deal on "the major issues" in their $1.2 trillion "hard" infrastructure package, GOP senators involved in the talks announced Wednesday.

Why it matters: It could be days before the group finishes writing the bill, but the Senate can begin debating the legislation in earnest now that they have resolved the outstanding issues. The bill needs 60 votes to advance in the Senate.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday that the Senate could vote as early as Wednesday night to advance the proposal, the second time they will vote on this procedural measure.

Schumer also insists he's prepared to keep the Senate in session over the weekend to finish the bipartisan infrastructure bill: "It’s time for everyone to get to yes,” he announced on the floor on Monday.

23. That's going to mess up some Senators' weekend plans.

[Buckeyeblue]

19. I think the opposite

They go all in with bipartisan support to take attention from the hearings.

21. Does McConnell want I-75 over the Ohio River repaired or not?

He likely wants at least that. That bridge, which carries 5% of the nations' GDP, is on the verge of collapse, and is in HIS state.

They want to strangle everything but highways. There will be no $ for anything else: no public transportation, no "human infrastructure".

[George II]

24. He probably doesn't - he doesn't want some of his ex-constituents fleeing up to Ohio.

[DFW]

22. Or, as my grandfather portrayed so well 40 years ago, a BLOCKHEAD party
