1. Just a reminder: the Senate convened this morning at 11AM to work on the $1.2T Infrastructure Bill..

Majority Leader Schumer said yesterday there's a possibility of roll call votes today (haven't happened yet)

[NurseJackie]

2. Where's Bernie?

Ohio.

[George II]

3. Certainly not in DC should the Senate conduct a roll call vote.

Wouldn't it be ironic if an important budgetary bill goes to the floor for a roll call vote and it fails 50-49 because the Chairman of the Budget Committee missed the vote?

[NurseJackie]

4. I have little doubt that we'll soon hear a chorus of...

... "it would have failed anyway" or "it would have passed anyway".

There's always an excuse. But personally, I prefer politicians who take their job seriously. This is one of the most important pieces of legislation that will be voted on this session and it deserves to be treated as such.

That's fair, right? That's a reasonable position for me to have, right?

5. I remember many assurances that it doesn't matter if something would've passed or failed,

every vote is extremely important. Guess that flew out the window.

8. Not ironic...

unacceptable!

6. Why is sanders not in the senate?

[Uncle Joe]

7. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread Donkees.
