(#4570) The bipartisan deal on infrastructure isn't a done deal, yet

     So I watched the Senate again yesterday hoping to see the hustle and bustle of activity I saw the day before, but no. Zero! It is like republicans seen that they were part of something that looked like real legislating and then decided that how could they possibly do that! I mean, c'mon! They are so out of whack in being real humans beings that when they realize they have been even looking like real human beings they have to fuck that up. So yesterday was about a real waste of time, which by the way is something republicans are good at, so once again I am doubtful about everything that has happened so far as to getting close to a bipartisan deal.
     Really, I shouldn't be surprised since they have been infamous for faking real effort just so that can run the clock out on whatever good bill democrats are trying to create. Deep down we all should know that the republican party does not want to help the working middle poor class so keeping to their roots they are going back into a classic stall for time. There will be no senate action as of late last nights comments from Majority Leader Schumer as his frustration is evident. They need a day off just to catch up on their sleep but I fear once again that when Saturday rolls around, yes they are working on Saturday, they will be just as stubborn about finishing this bill as they were yesterday.
     Which is still fine with me by the way. If republicans sabotage the bipartisan bill this close to it being completed it gives our moderate democrats a wake up call that the rest of us have been screaming at them about. Then we may get some movement on the filibuster. If not and republicans find a way not to gum up the bipartisan infrastructure bill then Joe Biden gets to boast of America meeting its needs together. I will take either route but the route that makes the filibuster less attractive to our moderates is my favorite, snark. Today may hold a surprise or two so I will still pay attention to behind the scenes activity from the Senate but as of now slow day in the upper chamber of Congress.
