Wow GOP in the House is trying to block the vote on the BIF

[berni_mccoy]

And they are forcing votes to adjourn to do it.

They really don’t want this to succeed. Must be bad for them if it does.

Manchin and Sinema better get in line and stop the nonsense.

[Lovie777]

1. GQP don't want Americans to succeed nor be somewhat stress free . ..

[doc03]

2. Manchin will come up with his roadblock of the day nt

[Johnny2X2X]

3. Manchin already voted yes

This is the House, this passes the House and it doesn't go back to the Senate, it goes to the President's desk.

[doc03]

9. That is on the BBB bill. He will support that since it is

his bi-partisan bill I hope.

[LenaBaby61]

24. "His bi-partisan bill I hope."

Yes, because Dems are evil and must work with and break our shoulders reaching out to work with the angelic GQP US Taliban Party

[kacekwl]

4. And we'll hear how Democrats can't get anything done.

No mention of complete failure of Republican congress to do anything. Ever.

[Budi]

5. Jfc. This has NOTHING to do with Manchin or Sinema. THEY ALREADY PASSED IT IN THE SENATE.

[berni_mccoy]

7. It absolutely does. We have enough problems with GOP obstruction

We don’t need it from them when it comes time to pass the BBB

[Budi]

13. Thought this was about the HOUSE & BIF ?

Which the Senate already passed but was held up in the HOUSE.

15. Any excuse to take a shot... nt

[Budi]

17. Wtf ever. The Senate already passed BIF. House held it up.

Manchin & Sinema own plenty of blame, but at least tell the truth about THIS HOUSE MATTER TODAY.

Neither have anything to do with HOUSE legislative decisions do they.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

20. Well said...many with bad cases of very wrong and premature manchin/sienma outrage.

[Budi]

21. Well sure. "Keep their gaze over there, so they don't look at us"

Its the essence of every magic trick ever performed.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

22. I do wonder if there is is some performative jiujitsu going on behind the scenes

During the American Rescue debate, everyone got all outraged over Sinema's theatrics, which distracted from the fact that Manchin was working behind the scenes w/ Schumer nailing down the final bill. I'm not sure it was intentional, but I kinda think it did help get the bill through.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

23. If the intent of any intentional theatrics by Democrats was to out Republicans as anti-worker

and anti-family stuff like paid sick leave and paternal leave, and anti- highways and bridges and subways…this is kinda working.

[LenaBaby61]

25. Have you seen their rotten bag 'o tricks?

Like that's going to stop anytime soon? They have themselves and their corporate masters to please.

BOTH have earned their outrage, and more is yet to come.

[GentryDixon]

19. He's correct.

Manchin & Sinema have nothing to do with this vote, as they are in the Senate. This is a House vote.

[Nictuku]

6. Vote for Motion to Adjourn started 2 hours ago

What are they waiting for? It already failed.

I also want to know who started the motion to adjourn? This is a colossal time waster, and they know it. Democrats could call this vote at any time. (maybe they needed more time preparing the speakers for the upcoming 2 bills)

I did just hear that Pelosi is meeting with members now, so perhaps that is what is going on. If those meetings go badly with no resolution, we may not see those 2 bills get to the house.

We shall see I guess.

[JohnSJ]

8. I don't think they will be able to stop it. It take both parties to agree to adjournment I believe

and if there is a deadlock, I am pretty sure the President makes the decision

Surely the Democrats will not agree to adjourning, so this will not happen

I suspect the good economic news is upsetting the republicans, which is why they are playing this game

[JustAnotherGen]

12. Exactly

[Budi]

16. Yes. Btw, the good economic #s are now suddenly "Revised"

Btw, the good economic #s are the Revised #s.
The media spun the unrevised #s until VA election was over.

Now they suddenly report the Revised #s. 🙄

10. If Republicans are blocking the bipartisan infrastructure bill

Can we now stop referring to it as bipartisan?

It’s more accurate to call it the unicameral infrastructure bill, because it was written and negotiated entirely in the Senate.

[JohnSJ]

14. We don't know if any republicans will vote for the bipartisan bill in the House with the bill that

was passed in the Senate with some republican votes

Until that vote occurs, I don't think we can say that.

I actually think there will be a few republicans in House who will vote for the bipartisan bill from the Senate.

On the BB bill, I don't think any republicans will vote for that in the House and Senate

[Budi]

18. Exactly right. Should have taken what we could get when the Senate agreed to BIF.

"On the BB bill, I don't think any republicans will vote for that in the House and Senate"

Nothing is NOT better than something. btw.

Spin it however ya want. We had that massive BIF & every good progressive thing in it.

But..naaa.
Thanks for nothing at all.
Heck of a job, huh!

Why?

[JustAnotherGen]

11. Typical

But they will take credit for it
