       1)Mitch McConnell and 17 GOP Senators Join Democrats in Passing Infrastructure Bill in Victory for Joe Biden.18 GOP Senators voted on Saturday in favor of the Democrat Party’s infrastructure bill, something Democrats never allowed to reach President Trump’s desk.The RINOs gave Joe Biden a rare win at a time when the illegitimate president is sinking in the polls and continues to struggle with his diminishing faculties.cont

       2)The Senate on Saturday convincingly advanced the bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure bill in a key test vote to break the filibuster, putting the upper chamber one step closer to passing one of President Biden’s marquee spending priorities.The vote was 67-27 during a rare weekend session when the House had already recessed until September for summer break. cont

       3)It was not immediately clear when the Senate would take a vote on final passage since there’s disagreement among Republicans and Democrats on how long the amendment process should last. But Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y, said the Senate will remain in session as long as it takes to pass the bill.“We can get this done the easy way or the hard way,” Schumer said Saturday. “In either case, the Senate will stay in session until we finish our work.”cont

       @Dawnz These bitter, angry, shallow tantrums on conservative sites only contribute to division in the GOP and provide only a very small part of the story.There is no reference in this article to why McConnell is supporting this. If the GOP blocked this Infrastructure Bill, all of the budget related items in it - most of it - would be stuffed into the Reconciliation Bill. 1/2

       @Dawnz Those items would likely survive scrutiny by the by the Senate Parliamentarian precisely because they are related to spending.There would also be an increased impetus for the Dems - including Sinema and Manchin - to pass something as a 'win', which would make it harder for them to oppose Reconciliation. 2/3

       @Dawnz The pressure is off for now, and those two - and other Dems - have more freedom to focus on their opposition to the Reconciliation Bill - Bill #2.They may still pass something in Bill #2, but the GOP did have a say on these issues.3/4

       @Dawnz Meanwhile, Bill #1 is only set to pass the Senate. From there it will go the House - where Pelosi claims that she will not bring it to a vote unless Bill #2 is also passed in the Senate first.And the Dems are fighting hard among themselves as to what they will support.It is a huge mess for them.The usual, lazy term RINO is used. It would be better not to pass anything, of course - but this a way of dealing with the Dems that should avoid much worse legislation later.4/5

       @Dawnz The conservative media rarely acknowledges the triumphs - not too strong a word - of McConnell and the GOP Senators in standing firm and united against the steady parade of disastrous Bills from the House that are all DOA.I would very, very much like to see conservative media stop the relentless ridicule and criticism of Republicans. It really doesn't stop.This is especially onerous when the facts and data are not included in the articles.5/5

       @Lisa22 @timr @Dawnz I think you have spin this way backwards. The KEY argument is how much garbage stuff the Rs were able to keep out of this bill. A key element was massively increasing IRS intrusion and reporting to get more taxes. Does anyone not believe that increased IRS  audit “revenue” won’t just go into bill#2 to “offset” its $Trillion$? Same with the rest of it. The Rs have just spun themselves into greasing the skids for bill #2.

       @BigEd @timr @Dawnz What do you mean, I've spinned it?? I just agreed with Tim. Besides, I don't think Manchin and Sinema would go along with Bill #2, their constituents would turn on them.

       @Lisa22 @timr @Dawnz Senate passed bill #2 by 50-49 vote. Then adjourned. House must pass both, but only bill #1 needs Biden’s signature. Then, in Nov or so we get bill #3: reconciliation Must pass both houses and Bidet signs it.

       @Lisa22Jus saw this - you are correct, Lisa.I use the terms Bill #1 and Bill #2 to refer to Infrastructure and Reconciliation, respectively. OnlyProcedural votes, resolutions, etc. are defined by name.I have been doing this for three months to bring some precision and order to threads that involve a great deal of complex information.I ask those who comment to please respect the use of those terms - which are accurate. Otherwise the threads become incomprehensible. @BigEd @Dawnz
