But remember, the GOP wants you to put them back in charge in 2022. The Senate breaks filibuster for the infrastructure bill, setting the stage for the final vote. pic.twitter.com/ccUR8biAlZ — The Hill (@thehill) August 7, 2021 I haven’t seen the final vote tallies yet, but it’s safe to say that the same 17 Republicans who played turncoat on the motion to proceed did so again here. It’s such an astonishing move to see them fold like this, given everything that has transpired.
The negotiations started off with some combination of Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi blowing up the deal no less than three times. Despite that, the Republicans in question soldiered on, truly doing the people’s work of spending over $1 trillion in the middle of an inflationary boom. Even after the Biden and the Democrats announced they were going to double-cross the GOP collaborators via reconciliation, making the deal completely pointless, Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, and the rest kept pressing forward.
Later, Biden would blow up property rights via an illegal order in defiance of the Supreme Court, and not even that would deter our Republican heroes from rushing to give Democrats a major policy win. If you are starting to wonder how any of this makes sense, you aren’t alone.
Obviously, there are lots of payoffs in the bill itself. That’s a given with any massive spending bill like this. But you’d still expect even the most spineless of Republicans to understand the political ramifications here and to act accordingly. Instead, they seem to be ignoring everything that’s going on around them, from the Democrats’ gamesmanship to Biden breaking the law to destroy people’s rights. It’s as if this infrastructure deal is the only thing that exists for the Republicans supporting it. It makes no sense at all.
Perhaps this is all still part of some misguided attempt […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
