1. Good news

Now, reconciliation for the rest.

Biden et al. actually got a "bipartisan" law past.

2. Not yet but crossing my fingers.. Lucy has pulled the football before

[House of Roberts]

3. Look elsewhere on the Latest threads page for Sinema isn't on board,

so we really need at least 11 Rs.

[Bleacher Creature]

4. I think she was referring to the reconciliation bill, which is different.

[wryter2000]

6. She is a troll

Howard Dean says she'll be primaried. He also opined, "Maybe she just doesn't like being in the Senate."

She will vote to proceed to debate. Maybe if we kowtow to her abjectly enough, she'll come around and vote for the final bill.

[Progressive Jones]

12. She's becoming increasingly unpopular with Dems back home. I think she's playing footsie

with the fucking GOP.
I trust her less than Manchin. I donated money when she ran. Looks like that was a mistake. Being from Illinois, I don't worry about our Senate races. Our Dem Senators never fail. I donate to other States' races. If I were from AZ, I'd be in support of replacing her.

I hope she changes her tune real quick. Supporting DINOs sucks.

14. I understand why Manchin is the way he is and have no problem with him

She is slimy and I think is trying to be the democratic McCain

[PortTack]

8. She supports the bipartisan bill, not the 3.5T reconciliation bill

[wryter2000]

13. Oh

I’ll have to reread the post. It did say 3.5T.

[The Magistrate]

5. I'll Believe It When The Votes Are Cast, Sir

I trust these people about as far as I could throw one through a plate glass window, which is not nearly so far as it once was....

[Atticus]

9. Not only would I like to see you do that, I would pay for the broken window. It just seems a

fitting way to deal with folks who are such ---"panes".

[Deminpenn]

7. Good

10. Who were the 10 r's ?

[W_HAMILTON]

11. I would hope so, given that it doesn't seem to be much of a damn bill at all.

I saw in the headlines that it was reduced down to just $550 billion? And that's usually over ten years, so, just $55 billion on traditional infrastructure each year? And even ways to pay for it (like beefing up IRS enforcement) was taken out last I heard, so, if you can't get just about everyone in the damn Senate to vote on such a relatively watered down bill, what can you get them to vote on? I wish that this entire drawn out process for such little reward would prove to Senators like Manchin and Sinema that bipartisanship for the sake of bipartisanship, especially with this iteration of the Republican Party, is relatively pointless, but I'm guessing they will be touting what a great achievement this was in reaching across the aisle.

15. Are you shitting me??!! WTF do they think we'll be able to do with that? Fix some

potholes? Fuck these people and their "bipartisanship" fetish.
