It's been a hectic week with that infrastructure bill. Just a few short hours after President Joe Biden appeared at a press conference with senators from all sides of the aisle to announce the deal, he signaled he was tying what was supposed to be a bipartisan infrastructure bill with the partisan budget reconciliation, which Reagan and I both covered.
Now, however, he appears to be changing his tune. On Saturday afternoon, the White released a "Statement by President Joe Biden on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework."
The statement in part read:
At a press conference after announcing the bipartisan agreement, I indicated that I would refuse to sign the infrastructure bill if it was sent to me without my Families Plan and other priorities, including clean energy. That statement understandably upset some Republicans, who do not see the two plans as linked; they are hoping to defeat my Families Plan—and do not want their support for the infrastructure plan to be seen as aiding passage of the Families Plan. My comments also created the impression that I was issuing a veto threat on the very plan I had just agreed to, which was certainly not my intent.
...
Some other Democrats have said they might oppose the Infrastructure Plan because it omits items they think are important: that is a mistake, in my view. Some Republicans now say that they might oppose the infrastructure plan because I am also trying to pass the American Families Plan: that is also a mistake, in my view. I intend to work hard to get both of them passed, because our country needs both—and I ran a winning campaign for President that promised to deliver on both. No one should be surprised that that is precisely what I am doing.
I will ask Leader Schumer to schedule both the infrastructure plan and the reconciliation bill for action in the Senate. I expect both to go to the House, where I will work with Speaker Pelosi on the path forward after Senate action. Ultimately, I am confident that Congress will get both to my desk, so I can sign each bill promptly.
The statement is full of the president patting himself on the back as well as him slamming Republicans. In trying to sell the American Families Plan, Biden claimed it "has broad support with the American people, but not among Republicans in Congress."
Nobody can blame those who reacted to the news that Biden was tying legislation together, especially since Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the same thing. If this wasn't what Biden was implying, what was he implying, then?
Biden is in dementia and can say anything. It’s getting worse, that’s all.
His intent was a bad faith “bait and switch”. This normally is illegal, in business. If Biden was a retail salesman, he would be under arraignment currently. When someone lies to you, particularly about a crucially important issue, do you simple believe the next thing he tells you? No, you close the door, and go home. Biden is a liar, and nothing he can do now will change that.
The author thinks this is about BiteMe!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The dum* *** couldn’t have been more clearer.
Now, Biden ( or his team since they are the ones making the decision ) seem to be switching on their switch...

[EXCERPT]
Now, the Biden team is in full damage control mode after casting doubt on the deal - saying in a Saturday statement that he’ll sign the roughly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal even if they don’t bring the AMERICAN FAMILIIES PLAN (AFP) to his desk.
“At a press conference after announcing the bipartisan agreement, I indicated that I would refuse to sign the infrastructure bill if it was sent to me without my Families Plan and other priorities, including clean energy,” reads the statement. “To be clear: our bipartisan agreement does not preclude Republicans from attempting to defeat my Families Plan; likewise, they should have no objections to my devoted efforts to pass that Families Plan and other proposals in tandem.”
The statement added that his comments “created the impression that I was issuing a veto threat on the very plan I had just agreed to, which was certainly not my intent.”
So - to review,
Thursday: “I won’t sign it unless you bring me AFP at the same time... it’s in tandem.”
Saturday: “To clarify... I didn’t mean that.”
The most powerful man in the world who received the most votes in US history, ladies and gentlemen.
When Lindsey Graham who won’t criticize anyone in the senate calls his fellow GOPers idiots you know they screwed up
Lindsey was more steamed than a kettle of Clams!
If we ever find out who the faces behind Deep State are...
That is true. He is a loose cannon.
Just exactly like Reagan and the border wall, he gave amnesty FIRST as a deal for the border wall!! I despised Reagan for that move, my state has been transformed into a Northern Mexico!! STILL waiting for that damn border wall!!
Democrats are the Criminal Party - but not to fear - their toadies in the press will cover for them...
Bait and switch is against the law but the ‘law’ doesn’t apply to ‘the elites’ in DC.
Meth bump?

He won’t get the Infrastructure plan because he went public with the intent to get the rest of it via reconciliation.
All he had to do was keep his mouth shut and a large number of Republicans would have gone along with it.
Because they are corrupt big spenders with no spine.
But now are exposed before the horse is out of the barn.
Picture of confused oldster in a cap (wait, it’s the President of the United States)....
Biden: The staff were so kind to me at the rest home. I could have seconds of my tapioca pudding——no questions asked——and the Cream of Rice was out of this world. They listened to my old stories for hours. Then the running for US Senate, or President I think, thing came up. Jill wanted it. Now I’m so confused I don’t know what I say and it’s so stressful I cry sometimes. Don’t tell Jill or she’ll get angry at me again.
We know who their leader is. Everything they do points to one source...
Biden's handlers are liars and deceivers of the first rank. They are the same people who put Barrack Obama in that office. They put Joe Biden in that office now.
Biden is a senile old crook who says what his handlers want him to say - for the most part. Sometimes he wanders off-script as his dementia accelerates. It is getting ever more difficult to distract the public from this.
At some point, and probably quite soon, Biden will become too unreliable for any public appearances or statements. And "just like that" we will have President Harris moving into the oval office.
Harris is a vindictive whore, but she will follow instructions. And if she does not - then another "unexpected event" will occur and we will see "President Nancy Pelosi".
Late in the decline of the Roman Empire, they had the "Year of Four Emperors". I believe we are in for something with a distinct echo of those times.
This is what Bill Clinton did to the Republicans back in the day. The Reps never trusted him after it.
