They tried to pass it multiple times. Obviously they wanted to do it before the Virginia gubernatorial election and stared and kind of a typical political thing.

so I was watching the back and forth on Twitter on Friday afternoon

I was really Lucy in the football all over again that we heard Nancy Pelosi. Several times say we're gonna have about this week. Are we going to have a cap

everybody the short version was the house Progressive did not want to pass infrastructure without ensuring that they were gonna, get build back better as well.
Because there are actually was. If you separated the two pieces of legislation, there is a really good chance that the house, moderate Democrats, I am able to pass one, not the other or more
What even more likely your mansion Pearson Cinema would say. Yes, we want to pass infrastructure. We don't like this.
that's an bill back better, so we're not gonna pass it and they would only get half loafin nothing
It's worse fer a house progressive than only getting half a loaf permanently
so for launching a Friday afternoon and evening it was like it might not happen.
and then they went for the vote me people of

going forward with the vote was a strong indicator was gonna curious. Isn't you ended up with six

I gotta tell you there, I figure of Nancy Policy really needed one or two extra than some of those six night. No votes amongst the house. Democrats would have left. Think you look.

fire, even by our own standards, urban or listeners, can feel big. Let down I'm splitting fire. We did not need this bill. We can't afford to spill. It contains extraordinarily wasteful spending, even ass, the younger brother of the gun.

quarter of a trillion dollars to the deficit. Now I have a little more sympathy for the senators who passes because many of them, I think incorrectly at the point at which they can,
the plan, genuinely believed that they were saving the filibuster, which is, of course, an important thing to do. Mitt Romney seems earnestly to believe that so do others, but that's gone now. That's gone for a number of reasons, but you close to the mid term. Cinema

So the house did not have the same justification here. You can
Stan why, in the heat of the summer, the Republicans acquiesce to this,
but there was no need for the house to do so, especially given that in doing so, they bailed out Nancy policy.
Mr Wynn, to the president and subsidized progressives, by which I mean, if you assume that this was going to pass anyway,
fair enough, but there is no reason for republican members of the house to deliver votes to policy so that our own
people can vote known, save face and that's what happened on Friday? That's one of the reason reasons. I think that people such as filled with so many that they didn't just vote it into law. They,
A progressive spare how air sea can I run around and say I stuck to my principles now. Why do I think this is a tactical mistake,

Is that everyone I know.
is unaware of the intricacies her. I get text messages uncles. All the time from people who are particularly political say was to deal with this bill. What's happening with the bill. They don't know that there are two, they don't know what happened
in the house, with progressive making one contingent upon the passage of the other they dont know why there are two. They don't know that one of them asked with republican votes and the other is steadfastly oppose the day in day out. I realise this is why I thought it was a mistake from the get go for a public and to breathe this into existence, and now it looks as if the Republicans help pass it and that's what I've heard since again from a political people. I was around a lot of people over the weekend at the wedding. Wait. Did the Republicans pass the bell? I thought they were against it. I thought they said it was socialism. I thought they said it was causing inflation. I thought they said it was irresponsible. I thought they said it would raise taxes. I thought they said it
to the debt, why did they vote for it? So what you know they're there too, but this one is much smaller than is more about physical and the ice was over and I think Republicans just tied themselves to a lot of the maladies that they are presumably going to spend the next year running against. If you pass this sort of thing with the party line vote in the house, they ve not suppose the ends up in trouble on the floor. It is much easier to sell the opposition to cleanly, and I know that there were a number of votes in the Senate from the rubble
inside I understand that. But people don't follow this in the way that analysts and what I heard on Saturday Sunday was the Republicans voted for the bill. They set their purse and
I think that was a monumental mistake. Now I should say in closing: there is, of course no such thing as the Republicans and I'm a champion this any more than there is such a thing is
The Democrats and it's easy for me to rail against these thirteen representatives, but those thirteen representatives are part of the reason that the Democrats only have a Christian, a fearful and, if Republicans

I dont think, though, that it is unreasonable to say that this was a tactical mistake and Shop Mccarthy has started a leverage over these people, although his pitch is that he will manage the party well clearly didn't whether he could not- and I wish that they had at least waited it out to see what happened within the Democratic Party instead of providing votes at that key juncture that made it easier financing,

this is the first step towards for ever masking what to make of it.
I am certainly worried about that. I think one of the major lessons we have learned from everything that's happened was covered is that our public health bureaucrats

A pandemic is a matter of judgment. Flu is still with us. Codes are still with us, but we don't regard them as a pandemic, because we think that is acceptable to live with the risk. Given that the aim of us,
I seem to be free and prosperous, and I think it has reached the point at which it is no longer or should no longer be designated as a pandemic, but as a problem that we deal with within reason, and we can say thank you very much, Rochelle Linsky.

This was

to these characters and really poking prodding. This thing until after headed relied on it to get a prize awards
and not not until the whole thing had at spun out of control, eventually creating it
an enormous special council investigation. Oh really was looking back a period of mass hysteria and profound liberalism that was inexplicably made worse by the target,
Donald Trump, in normal circumstances, people who are accused of wild fantasies indignant and constructively so but tromp was not, which made it difficult to conclude that everything was made up, even though I think a lot of us, including myself,
suspected that I'm not talking here about the dossier. The dossier was obviously ridiculous. I have often wondered subsequently why I didn't write more about this and I think it's because Trump would on occasion make you wonder he said during the campaign. I believe that he would like it if the Russians hacked Hillary Clinton, the case of its tongue in cheek it was, but you look at the case being made, and you think I wait for.
The result, I did wait for the result. I wrote a few defensive of transport listing of liberalism along the way. I love the idea that crept in that denials are a form of confession that bleeding the faith is a sign of guilt that at that defending it

I'm saying that retard by what we have just moved on, no one who bought fully into it has apologised. No one's been fired from their job as a journalist, no one is lost her a book deal or tv gig over this. No one has.
Lost their respective their peers. We just moved on and on, and this is of course why you always need to wait for evidence and you need to apply the same standards to the people you dislike, as well as to the people you like, because what I sense as happened here, is that the people who were the most hysterical about this at least those who don't still believe it. I have reason with himself that it was ok, because it was about Donald Trump and Donald Trump was bad,
The capital be answer who cast up. We should care. This was that this was an incident in american history of collective hysteria
