Democrats strike deal, clearing the way for votes

9:20 p.m.

Warring progressive and moderate House Democrats agreed to a cease fire on Friday night, clearing the way for votes on key pieces of President Biden’s stalled domestic agenda after a day of chaos and confusion on Capitol Hill.

The 11th-hour deal between the Progressive Caucus, moderate Blue Dog Democrats and Congressional Black Caucus would allow the House to pass the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package and send it to Biden’s desk, as well as pass a rule setting up a future vote on Biden’s $1.75 trillion social and climate spending package. 

The three-way agreement calls for a written commitment that moderates will vote for Biden’s $1.75 trillion social and climate spending package if the Congressional Budget Office score of the bill is in line with White House estimates. The statement would be backed by Biden.

— Mike Lillis, Aris Folley, Cristina Marcos and Scott Wong




Biden making calls as lawmakers work toward vote

9:24 p.m.

President Biden, Vice President Harris and top staffers were huddled in the White House Friday evening making calls to House members as lawmakers sorted through a path forward on his agenda.

“The President is in the residence with his policy and legislative teams making calls and staying in close touch with leadership and members,” a White House official said.

The president postponed plans to travel to Rehoboth for the weekend.

He is truly the idiot in Chief; or perhaps just the chief idiot.

$1.2 trillion slush fund to help Democrats keep control of the House and Senate in next year's election.  Republicans are idiots.

I hate to remind you, but West Virginia is the chunk of Virginia the Carpetbaggers couldn't wait for. It's officially Yankee, too.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Numbnut Kinzinger is not running again.  He got gerrymandered by his Democommie friends.  But the rest, they should be primaried with the next election, and all sent packing.  Not a one of them worth a good BM!!!!!!!
