As I wrote in Mid-August: Pelosi can find enough Republicans to vote for the infrastructure bill if alleged moderate Dems oppose it.

Now, 5 @HouseGOP’s announced support for it.

By helping pass it, these idiots-are-Republicans will help Dems towards the reconciliation bill.
💥 💥 💥 . As I wrote almost 3 months ago (first tweet of thread)🔺, Pelosi can find enough House Republicans to help pass infrastructure if some Dems oppose it.

Indeed this is how it ended: 6 House Dems opposed it but 13 idiots-are-Republicans supported it in a 228-206 passage.
The vote by 13 @HouseGOP’s for infrastructure follows support by 17 @SenateGOP’s a few months ago (the bill needed 60 Senate votes).

These idiots are such Republicans that they didn’t even force major GOP items in it such as border walls. They only limited some Lib asks.
Dems were like “hey GOP. We can pass a $2 trillion infrastructure via reconciliation if we really want.” 17 @SenateGOP’s answered. “No, no. Keep it closer to $1 trillion which is much more than we ever gave Trump and you have our votes.”

Useful idiots are Republicans.
In Trump’s first 2 years when the GOP had more House/Senate seats than Dems have now, and Dems also had plenty of Senate seats up in 2018, none of them felt an itch to scratch to help Trump pass a pro-GOP/Con infrastructure bill. They held the line because brawlers are Dems.
Trump needed to scrap a billion here/there for the border wall because the @SenateGOP didn’t give him loads of billions for the wall via reconciliation despite most of them campaigning on securtoy. Many of those same GOPs gave Biden a massive lefty-infrastructure budget.
These budget issues are yet another illustration that many people are not Republicans or Cons due to policy as you see they help pass massively lefty policies while they sit on their hands when it comes to supposed GOP/Con policy. So, you ask, why are they Repubs/Cons? Well,
as I keep arguing but most of you refuse to entertain it: A certain mindset/personality pushes people to the GOP vs the Dem party. Generally, brawlers are Democrats while idiots are Republicans and rollover-suckers are Conservatives. “Republicans never learn” because people
with a certain mindset keep being pulled to the GOP. The mindset of rolling over; the mindset of being used, the mindset of wanting approval from your adversaries. Sure, there is a Reagan, Newt, Tea Party and Trumpism, but those are usually the minority of the GOP.
Do you understand what’s happening here?

Republicans with bigger majorities in 2017 walk away from main stream GOP policies that most Senate Dems of a decade earlier supported (border wall), while Republicans in 2021 help Dems who have smaller majorities pass lefty bills.
This is either a mental/personality condition (of not having guts to plow ahead for your own side while rushing to help your opponent), or many @SenateGOPs and somewhat House GOPs are brazen liars who are taking their voters on a ride. Repeatedly.
Another example is elections: House/Senate GOPs had THREE investigations regarding collusion and they yelled “Let Mueller Finish His Job” despite it being clear early that it is a hoax. Yet when it comes to 2020 issues, GOPs say “we can’t look back if we want to win 2022/2024.”
Who says you can’t win 2022/2024 if you look back? Dems WITH YOUR HELP dragged down the Trump Admin regarding looking-back-2016 yet they won all three within 4 years! Secondly, against Trump you were happy to look back so why not 2020?

Answer: Useful idiots (or frauds).
For what reason exactly do you rollover fraud Republicans want to win in 2022/2024? To walk back promises on basic GOP policies as you did in 2017? To help Dems pass radical lefty bills? To weigh down the next GOP POTUS if your party were to even be able to win in 2024?

Morons!
It’s worse: Dems won in 2018/2020 in part because same Republicans/Cons kept attacking Trump from the alleged right. When told that these attacks can cause GOP losses, the clowns said “country over party.” We are doing it for principle. Ok
so why do you care to win 2022/2024 at the expense of 2020? Why not pursue investigations into the integrity of 2020 simply on principles to assure the integrity of the election even if it can cost you 2022/2024? Why not put country over party now you insufferable useful idiots?
One of the 13 @HouseGOP’s to vote for the Lefty Infrastructure (a bill that most Dems didn’t dare to push 5 years ago), is @NMalliotakis who lives in a swing-district. What’s the gain of having this seat if the representative helps give the “bipartisan” label on lefty bills?
My point is that in order for @HouseGOP’s to have a solid majority they need many swing districts. But what’s the gain of having these seats if the GOPs there keep helping Lib Pilicy (lib policy; not basic Dem ones) WHILE DEMS IN SWING DISTRICTS RARELY BACK BASIC GOP STUFF?
Apparently, many senators in both parties agree on $1 trillion infrastructure spending in 2021. Why didn’t they pass it or part of it in 2017?

Because Democrats are not useful idiots like Republicans to help a POTUS of the other party even if it “helps” the country.
A half year ago, Dems/Biden wanted one big package for infrastructure ($2.2 trillion) and reconciliation (a few trillion), but broke it up and cut it in price because they felt it was too big.

17 Senate GOPs and 13 House GOPs including @NMalliotakis helped Dems to pull it off.
4 days ago, Biden/Dems got hammered in elections nationwide. Days later, Dems plow ahead with a huge infrastructure bill; larger than what mainstream Dems would dare to offer a few years ago.

And… 13 @HouseGOP’s were there to make it happen.

Idiots are Republicans.
Foldable Republicans help elect Biden by putting #CountryOverParty in form of attacking Trump. Many of them ruber stamp Biden’s agenda or are silent on it. Then they say ignore 2020 election integrity because we need to win (oh wins are needed?). When they win, they deliver 0.
The last 20 years the GOP delivered

- Wars

- Medicare Pard D (a dem idea).

- Tax cuts for the rich.

- Tax cuts for the middle class that the GOP then ran from.

- Judges and justices who keep giving wins for Dems.

Oh, and 3 anti-Trump Russia investigations.

Imbeciles.
Trump is just one of 3 GOPs to win the WH from the outside the last 40 years, yet a whole segment of the party proudly undermined him in name of helping country. Then those same clowns yell when Biden - whom they helped win - makes a mess, and THEY HELP ON SOME OF THE MESSES.
In 1986, the GOP convinced themselves that for good of country and party, the GOP must legalize millions who came here before 1982. Many GOPs voted for the bill in Sep-Oct 1986. GOP lost seats in House/Senate, and hardly win the popular vote in POTUS elections since then.
In 1987, Reagan signed a DACA which helped 100,000 young people but because border security was never done correctly the same issues go on until today. Did good-for-country GOPs use reconciliation under Trump to secure the border? No.

GOP voters are being had like suckers!

Can a POTUS retroactively revoke his political opponent's presidential privileges which paves the way for a raid on and prosecution of his opponent who is now seeking immunity from this POTUS?

The answer is yes. Biden did just that.
A Biden Judge asked the attorney of Biden's Political Opponet if a POTUS has the authority to take out his political opponent, and if the answer is no then it implies that Biden('s DOJ) can continue to try to take out his political opponent...

1984 wasn't this convoluted.
The Biden DOJ asked Trump for docs.

Trump claimed executive privilege (EP).

DOJ went to the WH for help.

Biden Deputized the National Archivist to revoke Trump's EP.

She did.

DOJ affidavit mentions violations of Archive laws (created by action above) as a reason to raid! 🚨 Image

Via @ChuckGrassley: "I have no evidence [on Biden wrongdoing]. the fact haven't taken me to that point where I can say the president is guilty of anything."

A - There is more evidence than in many white collar cases.

B- Dems didn't speak this way about no-evidence of collusion.
For years, @ASavageNation claimed that "liberalism is a mental disorder," but it is increasingly clear that Republicanism is a symptom/sign of mental issues.

Idiots are Republicans; Rollover Suckers are Conservatives - for the most part; especially those in DC.
@ASavageNation Conspirators texting about the involvement of a third person has been used in cases. 10% for "the big guy"was mentioned.

He got onto calls/had meetings with vendors which is also used in cases.

He got 10% of a $400K pay through a brother middle man who got $10K.

🧵 🧵🧵Notice the pattern of contradictory in many claims by the anti-Israel and anti-Jew crowd; generally the same people:

- Israel deserved everything that happened on 10/7 but not everything that happened as seen on video actually happened because those are fake videos...
- Israel is keeping people locked into Gaza and is displacing them out of Gaza...

- For weeks Israel is trying to enter #AlShifa that Israel occupies/controls since '67; bombed it indiscriminately recently, and there R no combatants there stopping Israel from just walking in...
- There are no tunnels under #AlShifa, and the tunnels were created by Israel...

- Why is Israel taking out Hamas; a group that Israel created which has no support among Gazans...?

- Oppression leads to 10/7 type resistance by Gazans that oppressed Gazans don't even support...

- Within a year of the 1995 shutdowns, the @HouseGOP Majority was reelected for the first time since the 1920's; Senate GOP picked up two seats.

- A year after the 2013 shutdowns, the GOP picked up 13 seats in the House; won control of the Senate.

Stop buying WSJ/NRO defeatism!
In 2016, Trump ran on prosecuting HRC; he won.

House Dems impeached Trump and won the WH/Senate within the year.

Biden raided Trump in August 2022 and softened Dem losses by November.

Shoring up your own side by being bold works better than trying to win "independents."
- The @HouseGOP opened an impeachment inquiry in Oct '98.

Despite a wave of 54 seats in 1994 which should have receded, the GOP ended the 1998 midterms with only 7 seats less than 1994.

In the Senate, the GOP held steady despite a combined NET GAIN of TEN seats in '94 - '96.
