So they gonna pass the bills now?

Wow. Should have done it a month ago.

The spectacle was so frustrating and embarrassing.

It was a shit show. I am sorry if this offends anyone but my god, what the hell was our party doing attacking one another in public.

We gave our own NOTHING to vote for. We gave them more chaos.

1. Nope. Manchin hasn't committed to voting on it, apparently.

I think the shit show will continue.

[Mr.Bill]

2. At this point I'm ready to say

call the vote and make everybody put up or shut up. Make those who want to vote no do so and live with the consequences.

5. Me too. Let's move on to Voting Rights. Gotta carve that out.

[Budi]

7. 2 hrs ago. Senate Repubs blocked the JLewis Voting Rights Bill.

House passed & Senate Repubs blocked it.

Be sure, it's not over.

4. Agree!

6. Senator Warner from Virginia on 6p cable news, [sorry, I was switching channels and

can't easily cite. Probably CNN], was furious at the Dem failure to give Biden his bill.

8. It was so damn disrespectful to a very respectful president.

They are hurting him.

10. Good that he stated his absolute disgust & ire of the back & forth bullshit Media show...

To parade themselves about with a pre-scripted Media spin, fundraising, lifitng their fresh new profiles, or enhancing the profits of Corporate Billionare Media tells us all their speak about 'wanting what's best foe Americans', was total pandering bullshit.

They just couldn't get out of their own selfserving, & starry eyed celebrity way to actually take serious the meaning of the words they spoke.

That they actually dug in to sell to America the brilliant "Nothing's better than something" line, really defines the pure & defining truth behind the whole sideshow.

Meanwhile, holding hostage the entire country who believed in, approved & applauded our President Joe Biden who gave his word to this country on the BBB.

While they all paraded for their 15 min of TV time to prop up their own profiles.

They have done NOTHING for this country the entire time the American taxpayers have been paying their salary, & waiting....

Whether pandering to Corporate Coal & Oil, Corporate Pharma or Wall Street, or Corporate Global Media, they all performed for their profiteers while American citizens held on another damned day.

We watched & waited as they shredded the bill & batted the blame game back & forth like kids in a fight on the school playground over who's fault it is.
And the Billionare Corporate Media's profits soared as long as the performance acting played out.

Months later, America still has nothing.

Thank you Senator Warner for saying what Americans are feeling today. Thorough disgust at the lack of maturity & professionalism that they all campaigned on.

11. The bills should never have been linked.
