House lawmakers passed President Biden’s $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill late Friday night, securing a key victory for his administration and breaking a weeks-long deadlock between moderates and progressives that threatened to derail the legislation.
The House vote was 228-206, with 13 GOP lawmakers crossing party lines to join Democrats in voting in favor of the legislation.
The bill, which provides funding for physical infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, water pipes and broadband internet, will now advance to President Biden’s desk for final approval. Senate lawmakers already voted 69-30 to approve the legislation in August.

Okay.
Well, that changes things.
But makes no sense, when the issue at stake is the Senate.
Meaning, they should’ve been getting pledges from the Senate.
Turncoat rino spineless....shoulda made it much closer...make the dems work as hard as they can...it will kill them to work. Who are the repubs?. Turn them out.
Are any “Republicans” actually Republicans anymore? I don’t trust any of them. They’re all trans-dems.
Remove them from committee assignments.
13 Republicans voted YES:
Van Drew
Katko
Bacon
Young
Upton
Kinzinger
Smith (N.J.)
Fitzpatrick
Reed
Gonzalez
Garbarino
Malliotakis
McKinley
I’m not interested in this. Infrastructure. Whatever. I’m interested in getting the mask off the faces of my 16 and 19 year olds who wear it 7 hours a day in high school and college. Infrastructure? Who gives a crap. What a “victory.”
Infrastructure = Kickbacks
It has to get really bad before people wake up and do something ?, by that time it may be to late. we have a rouge regime who stole an election in total control of a nation that should be ruled by its people
If the same provisions remain in the bill, then this empowers the Deep State to create laws and spend without limit. That $1.2 trillion will become $1.2 trillion per year.
Many of the Republicans who supported this will end up in the agencies doing the regulating and spending.

Passed the Senate bipartisan too, August 10th. Blunt, Burr, Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Cramer, Crapo, Fischer, Graham, Grassley, Hoeven, McConnell, Murkowski, Portman, Risch, Romney, Tillis, Wicker
Just a token handfull. My guess is maybe 1 or 2 in the senate (empahsis on "maybe," I cannot name one senator that is trustworthy), maybe up to 15 in the house. MTG, Nunes, and Louis Gohmert are solid, to pick a few examples.
US hasn’t been ruled or controlled in the least, by the public, since it was founded. The vote is a sop, a ruse, a trick to fool the public while the power structure fights amongst itself with the winner doing its own will.
To the extent the public HAS exerted control, that has tended to be destructive to the principle of limited government. Public will tend to vote for handouts for itself.
There are 2 senators I trust Rand Paul and Kennedy from Louisiana!! Jim Jordan is another house member I trust so we have maybe 5 out of 300 in both houses!,
Senate is a weird place, but I'll grant that Paul and Kennedy do mostly the right thing. The house freedom caucus is pretty good, I just picked a few names from the top of memory. I too like Jordan. I'd guess 25 good eggs out of the 535.
For example, I liked Elise Stefanik until I learned that she came to power via the usual grooming structure. I don't trust her at all, but she has been by and large doing the right thing.
Globalism is a terribly powerful force, taught in political science as inevitable, with lessons not being how to resist it, but how to manage the transition.
Yes, I meant loser pubs.
