Bipartisan infrastructure deal sails through first Senate vote
The chamber voted to move forward Wednesday night after negotiators came to an agreement on key issues.

"The Senate’s bipartisan infrastructure deal finally moved forward on Wednesday night after weeks of grueling negotiations, handing a group of centrists and President Joe Biden a major win. Though the legislation is still unfinished and failed just a week ago, more than a dozen Republicans took the plunge and voted to break an initial filibuster on the bill. Among them was Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) Negotiators acknowledge that many steps remain before the legislation heads to Biden's desk, but they celebrated Wednesday's vote as a win for bipartisanship."
These are the weak, foolish and dumb RINO Senators who voted yes on moving this bill forward:
Roy Blunt (Mo.),
Richard Burr (N.C.),
Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.),
Bill Cassidy (La.),
Susan Collins (Maine),
Kevin Cramer (N.D.),
Mike Crapo (Idaho),
Lindsey Graham (S.C.),
Chuck Grassley (Iowa),
John Hoeven (N.D.),
Mike Rounds (S.D.),
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska),
Rob Portman (Ohio),
Jim Risch (Idaho),
Mitt Romney (Utah),
Thom Tillis (N.C.) Todd Young (Ind.)
Mitch McConnell (Ky.)
How can you not have; let alone vote on, a single infrastructure bill during Trump's whole administration (despite being told every other week was infrastructure week) -- but vote yes to move an infrastructure bill for a Democrat? This makes Biden look like he is effective at getting bipartisan support on something...that is basically treason.
On the bright side; brave conservative Senator, Krysten Sinema said she will vote against passing the 3.5 trillion dollar infrastructure bill thru budget reconciliation; despite it having majority support among her constituents, because her donors told her to....so that is a small victory.
