Breitbart ^ | 06/28/2021 | Sean Moran

Vulnerable Democrats revolted against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) holding a bipartisan infrastructure deal hostage to pass their more leftist infrastructure package.

President Joe Biden softened his language about a threat to veto a bipartisan infrastructure proposal if Congress did not pass their far-left, reconciliation infrastructure bill. However, Pelosi has not reversed her threat to tank the proposal.

Add some Kahlua and you’ve got a frozen Russian. Those were my favorite when I was drinking.

The only reason they care is if it affects their re-election chances. They don’t care about America or Americans.

Those vulnerable Democrats can solve their own problem. Switch over to the Republican party.

Ha, I haven't had one of those for 35 years. I think it's about time to re-acquaint myself (and my drinking buddy/wife) with a pitcher this weekend!

Tucker Carlson had a segment on this tonight.
The Obama/ Biden Infrastructure plan is coming to your suburb very soon when the plan is implemented with little resistance from Republicans.
— INVESTIGATION —
June 24, 2021

Towns could have to chose between forfeiting the money or allowing apartments in every neighborhood and allowing suburban lots to be subdivided for as many houses as will fit

Stealth Goal Of Infrastructure Plan Could Be To Abolish The Suburbs By Bribing Towns To Change Zoning Laws

Democrats may use their massive “infrastructure” plan to bribe local governments to essentially abolish suburbs, by making grants contingent upon towns and counties allowing apartments in any neighborhood, including those currently limited to single-family homes.
That creates two scenarios, both of which benefit Democrats seeking power: If jurisdictions want to preserve a small-town feel, they must turn down the money, meaning the massive infusion of taxpayer dollars turns into a bonanza for Democratic-dominated cities, while leaving others out

Or if centrist suburbs give in to the temptation to take the money, they would essentially be signing a contract to become architecturally dense, like cities — and once those apartments and townhouses were built and filled with residents, they’d likely become solidly Democrat, like most urban areas. Both outcomes would irrevocably and fundamentally transform the country.
USA Today reported in April that “Biden’s proposal would award grants and tax credits to cities that change zoning laws to bolster more equitable access to affordable housing. A house with a white picket fence and a big backyard for a Fourth of July barbecue may be a staple of the American dream, but experts and local politicians say multifamily zoning is key to combating climate change, racial injustice, and the nation’s growing affordable housing crisis.”
The logic is that minorities are “trapped in crowded neighborhoods” that are not pleasant to live in. Yet the solution, under this logic, appears to be making the places suburbanites live more crowded, with apartments and townhouses
