Jim Clyburn, the majority whip who says he’s not whipping the Thursday infrastucture vote, says he has “no idea” if the vote will be delayed. He adds: “I’ll find out at the baseball game.” The Congressional Baseball Game is tonight

There is obviously nothing to worry about.

We can just worry about that later. Tonight, we have a Baseball game.

I guess if I were concerned about the country defaulting, or the economy crumbling in roughly 24 hours, I wouldn't necessarily be going out to enjoy a fun evening of baseball. Not to mention playing that game against the people who are on the verge of causing that collapse and default.

I know. I should lighten up.

playing against the people on the verge of causing the default is the point. Got to find a way to get those votes. Truth is, we have no frigging idea what's going on, and have no power to do a damn thing about it.

The vote will happen when Pelosi counts more Yays than Nays, and not before.
