Just reported. Republicans agreed with demorats to a short term spending bill to keep government running through December.

So they can pass $1.2 trillion “infrastructure “ bill, that only has about $300 billion of true infrastructure.

Republicans suck.

Their infrastructure bill isn’t going to pass. Reconciliation won’t either - the DNC is a big mess at the moment.

If this is true then yes they suck and it is what we feared all along. That politicians only want power and frick the people they represent.

They didn’t “cave.” This was all planned for the beginning.

There were 17 republican senators who voted for it, so they get by the filibuster.

They may lose progressive communist marxists in the house, but the republicans will vote for it in the house to show how bipartisanship works. It passes.

Win-win. We lose.

They always said they would support a clean spending bill. This bill funds government, hurricane relief and Afghan refugees.

It’s not a terrible political strategy at the moment. They took any wind out of Pelosi and Schumer’s sail on diverting attention from their internal shite show.

Correct. On first glance, it doesn't look like they added any extra spending beyond what is already budgeted for the moment, which, in all honesty, seems like a win considering what the commies are trying to do.

And the debt ceiling is still another fight. The longer they can draw out these types of fights until the midterms, the more likely Republicans dominate in 2022 and Biden will be a lame duck for 2 entire years with nothing to show for his Presidency other than failure after failure.

We just have to survive until we get our second Trump term in 2024.

Why are people so sure about this? Isn’t it obvious the Repubs are sellouts. They’ll make a show and then cave as always.

We have to vote out all the RINOS. We are now just discovering how many there are and its more than we thought. NEVER GIVE UP! The anti Americans are in panic mode.
We are at a very critical time an they know it. Voter fraud, media panic stories, anti capitalism, pandemics, re educating our young and mass migration are desperate moves in their long game. Most people don't know what's happening.

What would you prefer to do--shut down America, and bring our social safety net to a grinding halt?

Does anyone even read anymore? They got what they wanted, the clean bill. They forced the Dems to remove all the nonsense and just keep the gov. running. They did not approve the debt ceiling or the socialism spending spree. It is this level of ignorance that has our country in the shape it is in. No one even knows what is really going on, they just focus on the clickbait headlines. Melt over

There is still a load of bs in that bill. If you don't think this was planned all along you are naive.

Has anyone read the bill? All the pork in this monstrosity?
Ever wonder why in any bill passed Planned Parenthood gets a gazillion dollars from the tax payer? PP doesn't spend it. They take a certain amount and then funnel the rest into Democrat fund raising. Money laundering.

yeah, sometimes you have to stoop down on the level of the enemies in order to come up with a later victory.

BUT

just be sure to deliver the victory - even if it allowing the absurdity that is the DNC to expose each and every wart on the way to THEIR DEATH
