Here is what needs to happen for Joe Biden to have a successful domestic legacy: Democrats in Congress need to negotiate with themselves and determine what new social spending they agree on, and how they can agree to pay for it. That may very well happen. But it is not happening at the moment.
What’s happening instead is a series of escalating threats. The latest comes from a band of centrist House Democrats, joined by Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who preposterously warn that, if the bipartisan infrastructure bill does not pass the House next week, they will refuse to back any new domestic legislation.
… That’s where the new threat comes in. Via Playbook, Sinema and the renegade House Democrats now warn that, if the infrastructure bill does not pass next week, they will oppose any budget reconciliation bill, presumably forever:
Sen. KYRSTEN SINEMA (D-Ariz.) delivered a tough message to President JOE BIDEN at a private meeting Wednesday, we’re told: If the House delays its scheduled Sept. 27 vote on the bipartisan infrastructure plan — or if the vote fails — she won’t be backing a reconciliation bill.
Sinema is not the only moderate taking this stand. Rep. KURT SCHRADER (D-Ore.) — one of approximately 10 moderate Democratic House members playing hardball with leadership — said he and several members of their group are on the same page. Some of the lawmakers have conveyed that message up the chain to leadership and the White House. A senior Democratic aide confirmed the warnings.
“If they delay the vote — or it goes down — then I think you can kiss reconciliation goodbye,” Schrader told Playbook. “Reconciliation would be dead.”

Dems are not “melting down” so cut it with the BS headlines. Why would they melt down when they own the US.
Why would they melt down when they stole the US!
Wow - it just gets better …
Sometimes the liberals form a circular firing squad. Interesting.

AZ uses the money for new build roads etc, they really don’t maintain existing roads well. AZ metro areas surely don’t need more growth the place is getting trashed and the air quality is bad in recent years. been there enough to know and don’t plan to go back. They ruined the good pace it was and duecy could have stopped the surge of illegals but he was in on the deal to keep the explosion of welfare recipients going.
What was that they were saying about the dims are always in lockstep while the GOP is not?
Look, folks...it is quite plain & simple!!! Democrat, Senator, Kyrsten Sinema, and Democrat, Senator, Joe Manchin just need to switch political parties...going from Democrats, over to the Republicans...like right now....to stop the madness and destruction of the American Republic by Traitor/Turncoat Democrats, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and the entire Democrat Party caucus.
And.....any moderate Democrat congress critters should immediately switch political party affiliation to the Republicans if they want to keep their House Seats...period. Wise up Moderate & Progressive House critters...you is all dead meat come the mid term elections in 2022!!! Shift now...Dummy Democrats!!!
Note Trump on site, this coming Saturday (09/25/2021) rally in Georgia, (Georgia National Fairgrounds). Contact Trump Web Site to get more info & free tickets (2)...be there with tens of thousands of Trump supporters & Loyalists!!! the Failed Faux Potus, Biden must be impeached or removed from office by his own Democrat Party...like right now...period!!!
the problem is they have a full 15 months to come to an agreement.
they may be trying to boost their prospects for the 2022 elections by not coming across as wild tax and spenders, but at some point they will come to a deal and that deal will still be for too much taxing and spending.
It’s all Kabuki theatre stuff, where certain congresscritters are seeking an undue amount of leverage in Porkulis 1 and 2. Watch and see if both don’t pass, largely intact.
They could switch parties, but both are still on the far-left and neither could win renomination as Republicans, which is one enormous reason why they won’t. In the case of Manchin, he’s all that is left of the WV Democrat Party. When he goes, the party will be dead there for the foreseeable future.
What Sinema is saying is that if the bi-partisan infrastructure bill does pass on Sept. 27th, then she, Manchin and the other alleged moderate Dems will be willing to vote for the larger bill also, thus sticking taxpayers with 2 huge bills that will destitute this Country and increase inflation 10 fold. Some deal.
commit suicide.
Should I do up my bathroom in Grant or Franklin wallpaper?
They know the Squad/Sandernista agenda is suicide. Joe is just too damn slow to figure that out.
“They could switch parties”
What? No.
They are melting down because, in 7 months, they have turned the country into a shithole. Fouled the nest, the economy and made the US government the laughing stock of the world and those that aren’t laughing are pissed.
The CDC, NIH, FBI, CIA and the military have all been fouled by anti-American leaders.
The regime that ignored the will of the people fraudulently and criminally installed themselves in the whitehut need to GO.
They are hated by 51% of the population that includes black, white and brown and every other color. Yet they continue to race bait, instill fear and exert control through a virus they developed with RED CHINA.
WTF?
The military needs to get some leaders with balls to “displace” this regime and give the country back to the people. Common people who work and pay taxes, not movie stars, big business leaders and politicians who take payback money and then spend OUR MONEY on BULLSHIT.
Kyrsten Sinema needs to take off her shirt and go make me a sandwich.
