Biggs, Boebert, Gaetz and Greene among House Republicans sounding off on Twitter after late-night vote on Democrats' spending plan

House Republicans opposing the Democrats' $1 trillion infrastructure package reacted swiftly late Friday after their colleagues across the aisle – aided by 13 members of the GOP – passed the legislation. ..

..Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., called the bill "garbage," and argued that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi couldn't get it passed without help from the 13 Republicans. The vote was 228-206, with six Democrats, all progressives, voting against it...

...Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., warned his fellow Republicans before the vote: "Vote for this infrastructure bill and I will primary the hell out of you." ...

To paraphrase several commentators, the Dems were in the middle of a civil war, beating up on each other, and 13 Republicans threw Pelosi a lifeline. The following voted in favor - 1/3 from NY, not sure how safe they are from being primaried?:

Adam Kinzinger of Illinois
Don Bacon of Nebraska
Don Young of Alaska
John Katko of New York
Tom Reed of New York
Andrew Garbarino of New York

Dems thinking long-term.
This and the BBB lays the foundation for more leftist programs and depts, so when Republicans run against them, Dems will scream that they’re hurting children.

When they return home then it should be made clear to them that they are not welcome anymore.

It’s way past time to name names!

When Trump is back, you will have a spine pinned to that weak backside!

Kabuki theater.

Where was House Minority leader McCarthy when Pelosi was whipping the "RINOs" that helped her pass the bill ?

Where is McCarthy's press release chastising those caucus members that crossed the isle, and condemning the bill they helped the Dems pass ?

The Republican leadership are junior partners with the Globalists, how do you think a guy who makes 145K a year afford a 7,000 square foot penthouse apartment in D.C. ?

Biden has historically low approvals. He lost a war, created massive inflation, an energy crisis, a supply chain crisis, and a border crisis all in 7 months. He is disliked by almost everyone.

So of course the GOP circles the wagons and makes sure he gets a win.

Any better illustration of the truth that there is a uniparty and that it represents the interests of someone other than the citizens?

McCarthy is bought-and-paid-for and a total creep besides. You can trust me on that one.

Pelosi can’t be happy.

She gained the passing of the lesser offensive bills...which we can overturn...but she lost:

THE SQUAD.

Hooray for our side.

And she lost the ability to attach that monstrous 3.5 to a anything, that is, if I am following things correctly.

Trump endorsed McConnell, Capito, Fischer, Graham, Tillis, Cassidy, Collins, Sullivan who were just re-elected.
He endorsed Romney.
He has already endorsed Grassley for next year.

Trump has to stop endorsing Assistant Democrats.

Not RINOs, but RINWADs - Republicans In Name, Word, And Deed.

There is always a plan for *just* enough GOP members to go along with any spending deal. Yeah, there will be a bunch of other GOP folks howling about the rascals who went along. Watch what they do, not what they say. Will any of these so called RINOs lose a leadership position for this vote? Will any lose their committee assignments? Will any be tossed from the party? Will any lose even a dime of campaign funding? Will any even get a strongly worded letter? You already know the answer.

They GOP is playing conservatives for chumps like they have the last 900 times. And yet we can expect to hear the desperate calls to show up and vote in the next election because, well, you know, THIS time will be different.

I’d like to share your optimism, but that 3.5 will resurface in December when the budget extension or ‘govt shutdown!’ rears it’s ugly head again.

Pelosi is thrilled she got bailed out by 13 Assistant Democrats.

This Porkulus will never be overturned.

The next worse bill doesn’t need any GOP votes.

Nothing to cheer about here.
