Today’s the day that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) vowed to bring the bipartisan infrastructure package to the floor.
But the speaker announced Sunday night the actual vote would slip until Thursday in a victory for muscle-flexing progressives. In case you were counting all the stress-inducing deadlines in Washington, that's one day before the government will shut down if Congress doesn't pass a separate bill to fund it.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said she wasn't bluffing when warning that progressives were willing to tank the infrastructure plan until the House and the Senate also pass a $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill that’s still far from finished. And it seems she meant business.
Jayapal told us in a Sunday night interview, before Pelosi's announcement, that the number of Democrats willing to kill the infrastructure bill is growing.

I hope she Strokes out over it!!!
i AM GLAD TO SEE SOME PEOPLE CAN AND WILL STAND UP TO CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP. WHO THE HELL IS PELOSI ANYWAY. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE THAT MUCH POWR.
Give them All a Single Shot Hand Gun While on the Floor of Congress. On the Count of Three, Commence Firing! Those remaining alive may stay. Those not, will have their Positions Filled through Re-election. Proposed Addition to the Constitution for cases of "Stalemate."

There is absolutely no doubt the biden administration along with pelosi and schumer are out to destroy not only our constitution but all our freedoms and free enterprise system as well. They intend to accomplish this by installing obama's promised fundamental transformation into a socialist, either communism, marxism or fascism, type government destroying all civil liberties provided by our law of the land the constitution Make no mistake about it! That fact should be obvious to all patriotic Americans at this juncture. .
