If good policy makes for good politics, the reverse is also true. Senate Republicans proved that in spades this week, as their lust for home-state handouts paved a runway for President Biden’s long-sought climate, tax and healthcare agenda.
Seventeen Republicans on Wednesday helped Democrats pass a $280 billion subsidy blowout for the semiconductor industry. The bill is an embarrassing stew of accountability-free corporate welfare and government spending. This is the priority Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in June vowed to hold hostage so long as Democrats still had the Biden reconciliation agenda—formerly Build Back Better—on the table. Instead, encouraged that West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin continued to block that front, Republicans figured they might as well cash in.

The GOP can always be counted on help out the Democrats. Funny how it never works the other way.
The “Reach Across the Isle to Give the Other Side What they Want” Party.
The GOP’s favorite word is ‘bipartisan’.
The Dems favorite word is ‘unilateral’.
NUKE those POS!! NUKE’EM!!!

I didn’t hit a paywall but I guess some people are? So it’s good to have the archive version.
“The GOP is kicking it all away. There may be no red wave at all.”
There doesn’t need to be much of a “wave” for Republicans to take back the House so that could still happen, but Democrats aren’t going to sit back and just simply allow any part of their total control of the U.S. Government to be taken from them.
As far as the Senate though.... Mitch McConnell must be greatly relieved that he won’t need to deal with the expectations of being *Majority* Leader ever again.
Totally shocked and for those of us who left the republican party after the Bush years - to only return forPresident Trump are quite frankly long done with this nonsense….McConnell wept like a baby at Dirty Harry Reid funeral

If a bear can smell food 5 miles away a Rino can smell money 50 miles away money whores do have a keen sense of smell.
Party affiliation not withstanding, congress critters think their #1 job is to return the max to their districts from the county’s largesse. If they just so happen to enrich themselves in the process so much the better.
“Meanwhile, the GOP blew its one bit of leverage against the bigger Biden spending bill—which may now prove unstoppable. Democrats had been demoralized and divided, with this week’s headlines all about House infighting over a policing bill. That’s been replaced with an agreement that will revive enthusiasm among the left’s core constituencies, including the green activists and union foot soldiers who are crucial to election mobilization.”
Effin McConnell. The Old Crow. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Frog and scorpion.
