(#4559) No action yet from the republican bipartisan George Floyd Act

      It isn't just infrastructure and immigration that republicans wish to delay until it is too late but it is also the George Floyd Policing Act. Same old story different time. The republican party is worthless and as soon as all we democrats get that through our thick heads the better our nation will be. It just makes me nauseous to think about all the times we democrats have tried to reason with republicans and all we get back from them is deception. They do not want any legislation passed before the next election so that they can run on the fact that democrats cannot deliver. So we democrats need to stop pussy footing around with republicans and just exclude them from our legislative agenda.
     I know that Joe Biden and some moderate democratic senators are holding out for some form of bipartisanship but that is clearly not going to happen. Sure it may happen with a section of infrastructure that has already been stalled over deceptive reasons, but as this week will show it is always something with republicans when it comes to finally producing a finished legislative product. I hope Chuck Schumer once again brings the bipartisan infrastructure bill back up for a vote to begin debate like last Monday but this time do not hold back to give republicans more time. They said last Wednesday all they needed was until this Monday to finalize their negotiations. Time to call them on that.
     So many things are coming to a head with the annual budget consideration and debt ceiling negotiations that now the idea of getting to a voter rights bill is becoming very difficult. This is what republicans do, they say they will work on a bipartisan basis but then they drag out the process so that it gums up any further policy considerations and then they bail on their original bipartisan contract. Do not take republicans at their word, they are liars of the nth degree and until they get their way, which are not the wishes of the majority of Americans they will continue to be the obstacles in the road if we let them. Let us not let them any more and take our democratic advantages and get some good work done!
