Joe Biden Signs Infrastructure Bill! Everyone Thank The Last Guy For Some Reason We Guess! – Wonkette

[…]

Biden touted the bill as a success for the good ol’ values of compromise and bipartisanship, saying,

The bill I’m about to sign into law is proof that despite the cynics, Democrats and Republicans can come together and deliver results. We can do this. We can deliver real results for real people. […]

Here in Washington, we’ve heard countless speeches and promises and white papers from experts. But today we’re finally getting this done. So my message to the American people is this: America’s moving again, and your life is going to change for the better.

It was a very moving sentiment as long as you don’t get too hung up on little details like the demands by many of the Trumpiest House Republicans that the 13 Rs who voted for the bill be stripped of committee assignments, and perhaps keel-hauled.

All 32 Republicans from the House and Senate who voted for the bill were invited to the ceremony, but only five Senate Republicans attended. Sen. Ron Portman of Ohio, who is retiring when his term ends next year, spoke, saying he hoped there’d be more such bipartisan work to “advance the interests of the American People,” but did not mention whether he would introduce legislation to genetically engineer the flying pigs that would make it necessary. He did, however, insist that the person who really deserved thanks for the bill was Donald Trump, for having said the word “infrastructure'” multiple times during his time in office without ever advancing a bill to the floor of either house.

Just two of the House Republicans who voted for the bill attended the ceremony: New York’s Tom Reed, who is not running for reelection next year, and Alaska’s Don Young, who will hold his seat until his entire state vanishes in a volcanic disaster. Reps Fred Upton (R-Michigan) and Andrew Garabino (R-New York) were the subjects of death threats after voting for the bill and being labeled as “traitors” by Marjorie Taylor-Greene, because that is how politics goes these days among the more cynical types.

Gosar’s brother commends Ocasio-Cortez, calls brother ‘dangerous’ | TheHill

Asked by MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace what was going through his head while listening to Ocasio-Cortez’s speech, Tim Gosar, who has been critical of his brother in the past, said Ocasio-Cortez was “powerful, succinct and spot on.”

“Saying what matters and what is important and what is true and accurate, so I commend her and hope people are listening,” Tim Gosar added before calling his brother “dangerous” and calling on him to be expelled from Congress.

Tim Gosar on Wednesday said it is “disappointing” that they are in this position but said it comes down a choice of “do you support somebody that’s reckless, that’s dangerous, that’s unhinged, or do you step up and work for the soul of our country and promote our democracy in the future for our kids?”

“I think there is no choice given those two,” Tim Gosar added.

“I believe he’s dangerous, unhinged and is reckless and is somebody that, as we’ve I’ve said before, needs to not only be censored, but he needs to be expelled,” he added of his brother. “And if at the end of that process, if he gets expelled and criminal charges are warranted, then criminal charges to be brought as well.”
