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!

PANTS PISSING Cons ran for the hills about the debate due to some fake mediaaa expectations and because, well, they are pants pissers.

The main attack by Harris was that Trump is a danger, unprepared and a joke to lead the country, yet 54% in the instant CNN poll have confidence in both candidates' ability to run the US, and Trump LEADS by 4 among those who have "a lot of confidence."

Her main attack FAILED! Image
While the main Harris attack (Orange Man Bad) failed miserably as seen in the poll results above, Trump connected Harris to the Biden Mess so effectively that Harris begged him to stop ("you are not running against Biden") and Trump indeed GAINED a net 4 on the economy:

1/ Biden-Harris admitted into the US 5.6 mill undocumented immigrants and millions more are not in the count, yet the @HouseGOP is too scared to dare Dems to shut the government to keep this mess going.

Instead, Republicans blame themselves by saying "we are not shutting down."
2/ If Republicans can't hold the line against something to the Radical Left of Dems from a mere 10 years ago, why run/win?

Where are the supposed principles?

Even IF holding the line here (and on impeachment) "costs" Republicans, well, gotta put Country Over Party. No?
3/ Republicans made immigration a big issue in #NY03 yet lost big time in the Special in part because voters don't see @HouseGOP as the fix to this problem.

Generic Ballot sucks for the GOP now too. Is it because the GOP is too harsh on this crisis? No. It's the opposite!

Below is the first Tweet-share by @RashidaTlaib since the news that Hamas, a government whose lies she spreads on speed dial, executed an American. No other tweet or tweet share as of now; 36 hours after the news broke.
There is also nothing by @RepRashida.

Obviously, it is the opinion of @RashidaTlaib (and/or the opinion of many of her voters) that Hamas had a 'legitimate context' to execute an American last week or else she would easily tweet against it as she does to echo lies by Hamas.
@RepRashida @RashidaTlaib I am not outraged by Tlaib's lack of outrage on the execution of an American.

I am pointing it out so that people understand the poisonously-depraved world view of her "cause."

If she, a US-born & Elected Official is this depraved, imagine the views by those on the lower rungs.

Don't blaming Powell for not cutting soon enough.

Blame Corporate/Regime Media for propping up a dead economy; for hyping bad reports as good which impacted the thinking of Fed officials that with inflation not yet settled, the economy can absorb continued high rates.
When the economy was in recession in 2022 (two net negative quarters of GDP; meaning by the end of the second quarter the economy was smaller than before the first), we were gaslit that this isn't a recession. The term was changed in real time like in 1984 propaganda fashion.
As a result of the propaganda, consumers kept spending and the economy recovered; underpinned by federal spending, not by a "real" economy. Then, part time jobs gains at the place of full time ones were sold as all in the same; feeding the hype of a "good" economy.

Biden certainly had worse public appearances since the debate than this pressser, but stop the propaganda that this was good.

He rambled on.

Confused names & things.

Stopped mid-point confusingly with "anyways."

And he wasn't pushed like Trump was in the @Acosta-era heckling.
Questions were given mostly only to state-aligned media.

Half the questions were about policy; not the key issue at hand.

He was not called to task about the lies of his administration regarding his medical tests.

The bar for this was set so low that this is "good."

Ha.
We are being propagandized:

The questions and behavior was what Putin gets; not Trump or DeSantis.

Yet, he rambled on confusingly. Offered up word salads and repeatedly stopped midpoint with "anyways" because he had no clue what he was saying.

This is "good," per narrative.

2 million non-Jewish Arabs live in Israel, and Jews were "Palestinian" the same as non-Jews.

On the flip side, Palestinianism today is predicated on the notion that the area should be free of Jews; the same as in Nazi Germany.

Israel = Inclusivity.

Palestinianism = Nazism.
2/ It's not that Antisemites attach themselves to the "Palestinian" cause. The movement IS antisemitic because if Jews are Palestinian, then "Palestine will be free" from what? The Israel government? Um, if we call it Palestine, Jews will still be in the government. Then what?
3/ "Palestine" is a geographic area that had Jews, Muslims, Christians, so to use "Palestinians" as non-Jews only is Nazism.

This is worse than a white guy who wants NYC to be 91% white as it was in 1948. It's worse because Palestine in 1948 was +50% Jewish, then Arabs invaded. Image
