A cadre of moderate House Republicans saved President Biden’s $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal from defeat on Friday after far-left Democrats rebelled against the legislation.

13 House Republicans, including never-Trump acolytes like Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, joined with 215 Democrats to narrowly pass the bill. Given the narrow margin that Democrats control the House, Mr. Biden could only afford three defections.

Kinzinger: Is quitting after being thrown in a district with another incumbent,
Gonzanlez (OH): Quitting

The rest are running

Lots of NY/NJ, must be some nice pork for the tri-state area along with the “pilot program” for a mileage tax.

Malliotakis: What a disappointment, might be drawn out by the rats

Katko: RINO, same situation

Gabarino: Looks like Pete King just changed his name

Reed: Upstate NY, shame. Wrote earlier this year “”I Want Trump to Face Justice.”

Chris Smith: Pro-life leader, otherwise trash, time for him to GO from his safe seat

Van Drew: Former rat, doesn’t get a pass

Don Young: Decrepit corpse, way past time for him to go, helped by stupid Alaska electoral system

McKinley: West VA. Facing fellow incumbent Mooney, needs to be meat.

Upton: RINO trash

Bacon: With a name like that no wonder he’s a pig.

Why is it always “it’s ok that we folded on this one, cause the next one is the important one” EVERY DAMNED TIME?

Many billions of this will be kicked back to the democrats through shell companies. That is the main purpose of all of this.

The latest episode of Uni-party Kabuki Theatre. The Squad gets to say they stood up for their cause. The vast majority of the GOP get to campaign on opposing the wasteful spending. But the deal was done months ago. MCarthy and Pelosi had cut the deal. The drama was to make the rubes believe there is a two-party system in Washington. There is more uncertainty in the outcome of WWE wrestling.

> McCarthy is totally complicit.

Bingo !

Pelosi only allowed the vote to go to the floor when she knew it would pass, and the only way she knew it would pass is if McCarthy allowed Republicans to participate in the Democrat whip count.

I predicted this more than a month ago.

The Senate passed a $1.2 trillion bill with bipartisan support.

The House was going for the bigger spending bill but could not pass it because the Squad wanted more and these RINOs would not support it. But they put all the focus on Manchin and Sinema in the Senate instead so they had “bad guys” to isolate and target for their continued purge of anyone in the DNC who is not a committed communist.

If they made changes to the Senate bill, then it must go to conference and another vote. But it is more procedure than anything.

This will pass. The concern is the empowerment of the Deep State to create laws and spend money without limit. Don’t be surprised if some of these Republicans that are leaving Congress end up in the agencies they just created.

Yes, this is all theater...on both sides.

Once again Republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Infuriating and disgusting.

Makes any claim that Republicans should be in power really hard to sell.

Make no mistake: With the 6 Democrat defections, it was REPUBLICANS who passed Biden's agenda. Republicans did this.

The pom-pom waving, GOPe cat ladies will disagree.

Reed was compromised a while ago.

He’s not running again after Deep State outted him as a drunken groper.

And his district will likely be gerrymandered.

Again.

All of these 13 non-Representives must be primaried and defeated in 2022, period.
