Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
1). You can't "run out of runway" when there was no runway to run on in the first place. The biden admin demolished the runway, put a fence around it, and put guard dogs in place before the bill was introduced. Goes to show how tenacious and strong-willed the Republican party is. When there was no runway, they built one, and had to fight off the dogs while doing it, just to get to a point where they could get their ideas introduced.
At less than a Trillion dollars, and only focusing on ACTUAL infrastructure, along with plenty of democratic concessions, Republicans are poised to keep talks going and get a compromise that doesn't fuck up our country's economy to near the extent it would if the price tag was 2.3 Trillion dollars.
2). Obstruct the admin's plans? You have it all wrong. There's this thing called "compromising", which is what they are trying to do, but the admin wants nothing to do with compromise....they want to spend as much as they can, on whatever radical shit they want, and also spend on things that have no place in an "infrastructure bill". Shall I bring up the "Union and Labor Protections" that certain prominent democrats are screaming for to be added to this "infrastructure bill"?
And how can they "obstruct" when democrats have the majority??? LOL. Oh, That's right....they might not have enough democrat votes to get the job done! HAHA!! Soooooo...."bipartisan" opposition to the bill should mean that it shouldn't be passed, Right?
3). Remember when schumer said they would "stretch the rules, or try to change the rules" on budget reconciliation so as to be able to "govern without republicans" again for a possible third bill??
Pepperidge Farm Remembers!
A new ruling by Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough threatens to upend Democrats' plans to pass President Biden's infrastructure proposals.
MacDonough issued a new ruling on Friday (6/4/21) stating that the Senate cannot use budget reconciliation, which allows the chamber to pass budgetary bills with a simple majority, twice just to avoid a filibuster.
The Senate also cannot revise a budget resolution without restarting the entire budget process anew, which would be immensely time-consuming and difficult.
"The potential for abuse was clear in 1974 and is all the more obvious now," The ruling means that Democrats will not be able to pass Biden's $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan and the $1.8 trillion American Families Plan, as well as other budgetary proposals, in multiple reconciliation packages, as they had originally hoped. They could still combine the proposals into a single budget bill, but any measures not included in the 2022 bill would have to wait until the 2023 fiscal year begins in October 2022.
4). Do you live here? Tell me who you've spoken with "across the country"! Or are you just going based off of what the liberal media is telling you? You have no idea what is "popular" or not across the United States.
You are correct in assuming that citizens (especially in poorly run democrat cities) are worried about Traditional (actual) infrastructure such as roads and bridges, but a new survey finds that a majority of Americans are not very receptive to the idea of "newly defined" or "non-traditional" infrastructure, which makes up about 80% of the bill.
To put that in other terms.....only $115 BILLION dollars were set aside for "Roads/ highways/ bridges/ main streets" out of their initial 2.3 TRILLION. The majority goes towards "climate agendas", "clean energy research", "technology addressing 'Climate crisis'", "misc", "training", "random democrat bailout items", "bailouts for poorly run businesses (Amtrak)", "Electric Vehicles","plugging oil and gas wells", and 400 BILLION for "caregivers for the elderly, and "upping the pay of certain care-workers who are disproportionately women of color" <--(OPE! THERE'S THE RACE CARD!) LOL.
People in the United States want ACTUAL INFRASTRUCTURE fixed. Not this bullshit radical agenda that has been put forth by biden and the democrats.OmertÃComment

... it is possible for Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer to simply fire the current Parliamentary Advisor as "she appears to be making up new rules out of whole cloth". The Republican Senate leader has done the same in the past.
"Please stop pretending like the parliamentarian ruling is something other than advisory and get on with the people's business," "We were gifted the majority to govern, let's govern!"Comment

Kamala Harris' Foreign Trip Such a Disaster Even the Biden Admin Is Perplexed: Report
Biden administration officials are “perplexed” by Vice President Kamala Harris’ handling of her embarrassing first international trip, according to a report from CNN.
Harris’ trip earlier this week to Central America and Mexico, coupled with her awkward interview Tuesday with NBC News anchor Lester Holt over her absence at the U.S. border with Mexico, reportedly has those close to her attempting to make sense of her bungled foreign visit.
“[Harris] endured a rocky first foreign trip since taking office, with sources telling CNN her two-day swing through Mexico and Guatemala left some administration officials quietly perplexed about what they perceive as her bumpy answers to questions about whether she will go to the US-Mexico border,” CNN noted Wednesday in a lengthy report after speaking to people inside the White House.
“Several sources say there was a real hope inside the White House that Harris’ first trip abroad would be a success, and worry that what looked like ill-prepared answers to that inevitable question would overshadow it,” the outlet added, referring to the NBC interview.
During that interview, Holt asked Harris why, as the White House envoy to the border, she has steered clear of the area for months amid the unprecedented humanitarian crisis created by her administration’s open borders messaging.
That's a lie..she HASN'T been to the border... but rather she was to one of the inland 'staging areas' where the illegals are shipped from to all parts of the country.
“You haven’t been to the border,” Holt responded in a comment that made it appear as though the establishment media might be prepared to hold Biden administration officials accountable with regard to the crisis.
Harris awkwardly laughed, noting: “– and I haven’t been to Europe. And I mean, I don’t — I don’t understand the point that you’re making. I’m not discounting the importance of the border.”

Cringe video. Over awkward laughs, Kamala Harris: “We’ve been to the border.” Holt challenges that lie. Kamala “and I haven’t been to Europe.” Do we have an illegal migrant crisis on our ‘border’ with Europe?
That interview raised eyebrows at the White House, according to people who spoke with CNN. The outlet noted it was “acknowledged [that Harris’ answer to Holt’s question] was a sound bite that would likely stick with Harris as she continues to confront the issue at the southern border.”
“Harris’ response to NBC raised the issue of potentially overshadowing a trip White House officials saw as an opportunity to display the true intent of an assignment that has been conflated in the weeks since its announcement,” CNN reported.
“Instead, she was stuck once again dealing with an issue that has drawn repeated GOP attacks — one some officials said they had assumed she would be able to easily address and move on from when it was inevitably raised.”
CNN even dedicated some on-air time to Harris’ unfortunate past few days:
Illegal Border Crossings in May Reach Highest Single-Month Total in Two Decades
The trip was a complete disaster, and despite Harris’ attempts to stave off criticism over her absence on the border by claiming she is going to the root of the migrant issue, she is now dealing with more calls to do her job — which for now is to bring stability to the border.
Harris did finally pledge to visit the border on Tuesday, Reuters reported. The vice president told reporters she had “been to the border before and will go again.” She did not specify when such a visit will occur.
With Harris taking point when speaking with world leaders earlier this year, it became apparent the Biden administration believed she was capable of handling business down south. But it appears as though officials now feel they overestimated her abilities to run point on the border.
Harris already seemed woefully unprepared to handle her current position. After Tuesday, she apparently has fewer supporters on the inside. Her abysmal performance is reported to be so jarring that not only are Biden administration officials anonymously expressing concerns about it, but even biased CNN is reporting it.

Hey Kamala a cardboard cutout of you at the border does not constitute a VISIT by you at the border.

Psaki Offers Word Salad Explanation as to Why Biden Failed to Acknowledge D-Day Anniversary
D-Day, the Allied invasion of Nazi-controlled France during World War II, President Joe Biden has still made no effort to recognize the anniversary or the soldiers who gave their lives for their country.
Meanwhile, White House press secretary Jen Psaki is left to defend the indefensible with half-hearted excuses.
