Biden, Pelosi, Other Democrats Already Threatening To Blow Up Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal

Joe is totally basking in the bipartisanship

Bipartisanship Lives, and Biden Takes a Bow

See?

Joe Biden basks in bipartisan glow, if but for a fleeting moment

It was the type of ‘I told you so’ moment Joe Biden lives for.

Standing before the media on Thursday, the president basked in the limelight of a bipartisan infrastructure deal. It wasn’t just the specifics of the package that had him revved up. It was the way it had come together. The longtime creature of the Senate who has boasted endlessly about his mastery of the art of compromise now had proof that this seemingly antiquated form of governance could work.

See? How’s that bipartisanship Sleepy Joe campaigned on working out?

Joe Biden Vows Not to Sign Infrastructure Deal Without ‘Tandem’ Bill for More Taxes and ‘Human Infrastructure’

President Joe Biden said Thursday he would not sign a bipartisan infrastructure deal with moderate Republican senators without an additional partisan funding package for entitlements.

“I control that. If they don’t come, I’m not signing it. Real simple,” Biden said, when reporters asked how he planned to get both measures through Congress at the same time. (snip)

“We need physical infrastructure, but we also need the human infrastructure as well,” Biden said, adding that, “We’re going to have to do that through the budget process and we need a fair tax system to pay for it all.”

Huh

Pelosi Suggests She Will Blow Up Infrastructure Deal if Radical Demands Are Not Met

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday suggested she will blow up the bipartisan infrastructure bill if the Senate does not also pass a reconciliation bill.

When asked how she is trying to quell the concerns of the progressive members of her caucus, the 81-year-old California Democrat essentially said she is willing to blow up the deal if their demands are not met, demanding a reconciliation bill to pass Democrat agenda items without the threat of a GOP filibuster.

Excitable AOC totally agreed with Nancy.

Far-Left Senate Democrats Mull Sinking Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal over Climate Provisions

Far-left Senate Democrats opposed on Thursday the bipartisan infrastructure deal between President Joe Biden and Republicans due to canceled “climate” provisions.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA), Vice President Kamala Harris’s Senate seat replacement, told a Forbes reporter shortly after the deal was agreed upon that “This bipartisan deal, it’s not enough. It doesn’t meet the moment.”

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) also said he was “not willing to support throwing climate overboard.”

Most of these Democrats are throwing around “reconciliation”, meaning they are going to add so much left wing garbage back in to the bill that the GOP will not even vote for it in the Senate, will block it using the filibuster, hence the Democrats needing to use reconciliation to pass it, as they do not need a 60 vote threshold to allow a final passage vote. Why can’t Democrats simply craft a bill for each of their left wing agendas? Oh, right, it won’t pass.

(Breitbart) McConnell said, “I was initially optimistic, but [it] can best be described as a tale of two press conferences. After the first one, the president walks out with a bipartisan group and blesses an infrastructure bill that many of my members are quite optimistic about. And then after all of those people depart the White House, the president goes out for the second press conference and says, unless you pass my tax bill, I won’t sign the infrastructure bill. So, what it does is put my members, including myself, who were optimistic about doing a bipartisan infrastructure bill, in the position of our Democratic friends having to guarantee that the 2017 tax bill is unwound. That’s our one red line. We’re not going to revisit the 2017 tax bill. … And so, I think we’ve gone from optimism to pessimism as a result of the president’s second press conference.”

Republicans should give Democrats about 5 minutes to see what happens, and, if Democrats try putting stuff back in, simply walk away. Don’t even bother being involved.
