One Democrat Is a 'Hell No' on the Left's $3.5 Trillion Reconciliation Bill...But There's Trouble Elsewhere

Kyrsten Sinema still opposes her party's plans for a $3.5 trillion, party-line spending bill. And she’s not up for a negotiation about it.

As House Democratic leaders hold back Sinema’s own Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill in order to push the Arizona Democrat and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) to support a multitrillion-dollar spending bill, Sinema is making it crystal clear that her mind can’t be changed. And that applies even as her own legislation becomes a bargaining chip in House Democrats’ internal discussions.

There are always enough of them. Just enough, to make it look good.

Could be three, six, ten, but always enough in the US Senate. The most dysfunctional and dishonest deliberative body on the planet.

Does anybody still remember Bart Stupak of Obamacare fame?

Good news! Hopefully everybody gets mad at each other, and neither “infrastructure” bill gets passed!

If both go down in flames, a third one ten times the size will rise.

With the debt at $28T, unfunded like $150T, time to take this FiatFED down, and start anew with NESARA.

When does the clock strike midnight and they waited too long to pass the bill. Seems that if they don’t get it done by the beginning of October they will be into the 2022 election cycle and will be creamed by their ruthless spending.

The Afghanistan situation is the perfect storm to destroy the democrats as one can see a hostage situation bogging down the House and senate with investigations as to what Biden did wrong in the way he handed over all the weapons to the Taliban. You can see the Biden Administation already being a lame duck and who in the Democratic Party will get behind anything that Biden wants.

Biden administration has sunk the democrats boat.

These are the Assistant Democrats that enabled the latest assault on the USA

Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)

They knew when they were voting for the $1.2 trillion they were enabling the bigger, worse one.

They technically have until the end of the year to pass them.
They have both passed the Senate, if the House passes them as is, Sinema does not get another vote.

Doesn’t make sense, the Senate already passed it and she voted for it.

Last sentence from the article: In fact, the entire spending orgy that’s been on the docket looks like it could go nowhere.

Whoo-ya.

“They knew when they were voting for the $1.2 trillion they were enabling the bigger, worse one.”

just the opposite. they put a monkey wrench in the bigger one.
I guess strategy is not your forte.

The steal of the 2018 AZ Senate election was the harbinger of the Big Steal to follow in 2020.

I look to Lisa Turdkowski or Dan Sullivan to fully support the pork and waste. As long as money flows to the state, these Senators don’t give a crap.

I guess you never get tired of being an apologist for Assistant Democrats.
When they pass both of them, you’re going to have a lot of crow to eat.
I’ll supply the ketchup.

It doesn’t matter. They have the votes. They don’t need one republican.

Supporting the infrastructure was the only shot to limit the damage. Anybody with a brain understand this.

Supporting the infrastructure bill enabled the reconciliation, anyone not apologizing for the Assistant Democrats understands that.
