Former President Donald Trump called on “RINO Republicans” to stop working on a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan, warning that they are “just being played by the Radical Left Democrats.”
“[T]hey will give you nothing!” Trump said in a statement issued late Friday.
The compromise package — which was announced by President Biden last month and is still being crafted into legislation — includes $579 billion in new spending, with $300 billion allocated for transportation, and $250 billion for broadband, power and water infrastructure.
While a bill could reach the Senate floor for a vote as soon as July 19, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she will not bring it up in the House until the Senate passes a much larger bill — with a price tag of up $6 trillion — through the parliamentary gambit of reconciliation. That move would enable Senate Democrats to skirt the legislative filibuster and force their legislation through with just 51 votes.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday that he thought “there’s a decent chance” the bipartisan bill “may come together.”
“All I’ve said is, I would like for it to be paid for,” he told the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. “We’ve added quite enough to the national debt.”
Republicans have insisted that the legislation not be paid for by undoing the 2017 tax cuts enacted by Trump, a point the 45th president emphasized Friday night.

He’s right !! Dems are spend crazy cloward piven asswipes
Yep, this is just more of the kickback scams. Give Pakistan $10 billion for gender studies, infrastructure my a*s
Yes, exactly. This is what the Republicans look like without Trump, and with the leadership of McCarthy and TurtleMan.
Go along to get along, be Nancy and Chuckie’s little whiney bitches. Really they love it, just don’t tell anyone. Gotta keep up the illusion, you know.
Chuck the infrastructure, find their pecans and stir up impeachment of the dilapidated poseur Biden for all the bloody damage he’s doing to the country!
The DNC are the enemy.
Republicans unwilling to accept that fact are simply setting themselves up.
Trump has learned what none of the Bush Family could never figure out.
It is hard when you realize you have been lied to for 30 years by the people you trusted.
BECAUSE it - the Dims “infrastructure” legal language in the bills - is not about infrastructure as much as it is making the identity, equity, systemic racism, disparate impact narratives and legal agendas written into every ounce of how federal “infrastructure” dollars and projects are to be handled, UNDER LAW. Their bills will tie up all future federal “infrastructure” matters in that language without direct repeal. And when the GOP get’s a chance to repeal them, the Dims will target the effort as a “civil rights” matter.
The entire “infrastructure” agenda they TOLD Biden to propose is 100% bait and switch, with the public bait a tactic of painting the GOP as “against infrastructure investments” and the switch is 100% the Leftist political agendas in the bills.
And our GOP leaders? Stuck on the dollars and not reminding THEIR constituents that it is 100% not about the dollars; its about the politics all the dollars are being tied to.
If only the Republicans were as opposed to this reckless spending when Trump was in office, we would not have had a $1 trillion deficit before the first COVID case reached American shores.
Listen to this man.

What? The Bush family is IN ON the globalist lies. They’ve had it ‘figured out’, for decades. Starting with Prescott, who was the first Treasurer for Planned Parenthood.

Impeachment?
Let’s see the Democrats control the house and control the Senate in 50-50 split; the Democrats control the Presidency, Vice Presidency, and House Speaker.
So if you somehow managed to impeach Traitor Joe, you’d get President Harris; if you impeached them both, you’d get President Pelosi. Which one do you prefer?
Russian roulette with a full cylinder isn’t it.

Yep - too many don’t realize that salient factoid.
Only a fraction of the infrastructure money will go to actual infrastructure.
They should be doing everything possible to make sure NO LEGISLATION IS EVER PASSED
“ Republicans unwilling to accept that fact are simply setting themselves up.”
Republicans WANT to be set up. It’s what being a Republican means.
Some GOP love top bend over for the Dems
Me Too Republicans were a thing well before I was born.
What a fleecer.
