Got my coffee, sat down at the computer and what the hell.. the infrastructure bill passed!!!!! :)



I am so happy, I do not know what to do with myself.. THANK YOU THANK YOU.. House of Reps.!!.. Lord have Mercy we have been bombarded by certain elements including some of the Media who need a lot of drama to keep their doors open. But I need to say this ..

THIS PRESIDENT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN IN OFFICE ONE YEAR.. nine and a half months and look at everything he has managed to get done while fighting off insurrectionists.. Thank you for making sure there was enough vaccine available to everyone .. Getting that out saved thousands of lives.. and now getting the infrastructure bill through (yes we know you were talking to everyone and anyone ) the charging stations that will be set up will make electric vehicles actually a possibility for everyone.. repairing our bridges airports etc. that have been left to fall apart..etc The good paying jobs this will create!!!

Thank you for rebuilding our relationships with our allies. (That would have left us so vulnerable to our enemies).

Those who have been so invested in our failure to promote themselves must be spinning in circles today!!!

I am just so very happy!!

When I woke up at 6:30. Decided to read DU for a few minutes as soon as I opened my eyes. Kyra the sailboat kitty wasn’t happy that she had to wait an extra minute for her morning “cookies” but she’s over it now… and I’m still flying high on the news!

Media coverage of the bill this morning is so negative, focusing on difficulties with next bill. Gloom and doom. Time to celebrate better times for the nation orchestrated by the Democrats.

Democrats get things done.

Now we need to tell people about it, about how it helps them & the country! Time for a messaging campaign, folks.

Another post had no context and I asked what happened and a person got all snarky with me.

What great news.

Before the election, media said it will take decades to fix dump’s mess.

Then for weeks we heard nothing happening. DU members bumming.

I’m so happy for all of us, Peace.
