It’s not even a true infrastructure bill at that. All that junk & anyone voting for it is voting to invade the privacy of my bank account. NO.

Laura Ingraham had this clown Cassidy pegged during an interview he had on her show The Ingraham Report.

He really showed then that he was nothing but a RINO Rat at that time.

From the guy (Cassidy) that believes Liz Cheney should be running the GOP.

There’s no resistance to Biden,

They line up to accommodate him.

Are most of the Senators complete idiots? Or just our guys?

He’ll run for reelection as a conservative in 2026. His constituents will forget/forgive his prior actions and reelect him. History is on his side.

Cassidy said he is “incredibly frustrated” with his colleagues because the infrastructure bill would be “great for our country” and “create a lot of jobs.” He argued that if House Republicans would support the bill, it would “take away the leverage of the progressive caucus,” which is trying to tie the infrastructure package to the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package.

because inflation running at 8% per year isn’t high enough.

That is the first thought I had, has he even read it? If he can be for all the c rap in this bill, he needs to be shot with a ball of his own s hit, the showered with sea gull drippings.

Cassidy is a former Democrat who is more Democrat than he is former. Hope he gets primaried by a real Republican

My Congressional Rep wasn't seated until February, because Democrats wanted to keep her from getting her seat back, after she'd lost it in 2016. They went to Court over it, but she prevailed in the end, and was finally seated. While she's put together an election integrity group, she also voted for the Red Flag Bill. I immediately called her office and told them I was extremely disappointed in her. The girl who answered told me that "while it isn't a perfect Bill...blah, blah, blah..." I cut her off and said: "So if it isn't perfect, why vote in support of it?" She tried to run some crap on me that the Bill will be debated, and more than likely refined in the future.

I cut her off, and told her that a large number of individuals who use weapons for mass murder, were already known to the FBI or police, but weren't considered a threat to themselves, or anyone else, and any investigations into them were closed. So how would Red Flag laws eliminate bad law enforcement decisions like that, and save people's lives? They wouldn't. I also told her that if anything, I'd like to see Congress pass a Bill to hold Governors, Attorney Generals, District Attorneys, and Judges accountable when they've released a violent offender back onto the street, and that person immediately goes out and kills someone.

I also told her that she knew full well, that the FBI and DOJ would abuse the Red Flag law if it was ever enacted, and that the danger of voting for these "imperfect" Bills, ends up giving Democrats a foothold, to build on, to take away more of our rights down the road. I pointed out that Democrats work to take our rights away in increments, and that Republicans always roll over for them a little at a time. Before we know it, we've lost another right.

I'd already made my mind up after January 6th, that I wasn't going to vote again, and it's stupidity like this, that makes me even more intent on not casting a ballot.

I heard it was more like 20%. But this moron drank the Kool-aid at the outset and is still not giving it up

He was just re-elected for 6 more years, as were Flimsey Grahamnesty, Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Jim Risch, Joni Ernst, Ben Sasse, Thom Tillis,Mike Rounds, Shelley Capito who are all Bush League Republicans.

We will never Make America Great Again by re-electing Assistant Democrats.
