The final registered roll call vote will be [available here], it’s not yet registered. However, at almost midnight the House finally passed the previous $550 billion Senate infrastructure bill.
After a day of backbiting and internal debate among the far-left communist wing and the socialist wing inside the Democrat caucus, Nancy Pelosi was forced to bring the long delayed ordinary infrastructure bill to a vote. 13 republicans supported it. The final vote was 228/206.
This bill has a long backstory {SEE HERE}, as it was originally going to be connected to a massive Build Back Better social spending bill demanded by the communists in the House. However, after months of attempts to structure some way to get two bills out of the House, one of them insanely over-the-top with social spending, eventually the communists were forced to let the original Senate bill come up for a stand alone vote.
With the Democrats needing a win, any win, to show they are capable of doing something…. they put this bill to a vote. The future of their communist social spending bill is unknown.
???????????????????? F’ing RINOS!!!!!
13 John McCains smirking and shaking hands with Charlie Schumer.
…and each around $10m richer you can bet
I haven’t even looked at the list and I’m betting kinzinger is in it.
I’ll bet the kow is also.
Kinzinger is one of the 13.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/11/05/republicans-bail-out-biden-and-pelosi-to-pass-1-2-trillion-so-called-bipartisan-infrastructure-bill/
Yes he is. The list is in the Daily Mail article.
He is.
What did you expect? The RINOs own and control the GOP. And have so for the past several decades.
No you mean F’ing Keven McCarthy and Scalice
Well at least 6 of the original 19 interrupted their corruption – temporarily.
Widespread small direct (no RNC, no WINRED) donations to the primary campaigns of their challengers should show a significant uptick.
550B??
yeah, what’s up with that number as it seems to have mysteriously doubled?
doubled back to what they wanted several months ago…..plus.
It’s one of two things Nancy wanted to pass anything before FJB cratered or they’re planning another reconciliation bill to jam the repubs out of blocking it. As I recall sinema said pass infrastructure first before anything else. Manchin is simply negotiating a price without sinking with the Titanic.
What I understand is it’s 550 billion in new spending. The rest is what is already allocated annually for highways and other infrastructure.
If 13 Republicans voted NO it would have failed!
When it counts most the most dependable Democrats are Republican. They can pass this monstrosity but they couldn’t repeal ACA. They advance the Democrat agenda. Every time.
I pray the Republican party ENDS. Permanently.
it’s amazing how $1billion to ones personal bank account can change ones mind
Freaking puke RINOs. Primary ALL of them. Absolute traitors.
they are not rinos they are mainstream republicans. the rinos are the republican voters. yes we’re the rinos, we’re the ones out of touch with the republican party.
You’d think people would see that by now.
Anyone notice how fast the RINO’s came out to feed at the trough as soon as President Trump left office?
Yes. And to poke Trump in the eye by defying all reasonable conservative principles
I suggest that the moniker “Senator” be replaced by the word “Prick” in front of the GOP senators who voted for the infrastructure bill.
THanks for the link back to the original Senate Bill, could not recall where the 555 came from. Like all bills full of pork. Mitch the prick put a cigar in his mouth and Nancy flicked her bic.
And so it begins again.
Does anybody know why 13 republicans supported it?! This is beyond me!
Seriously?
Because of money is my guess and/or other concessions. Some just for spite, they are at heart communists, or really sociopaths/Pschopaths (they had a “desire) or were compromised. They will have their phones ringing off the hook tomorrow, Those up for reelection have to start campaigns for reelection, kinzenger already doublecrossed still kissed their ring.
Time to make their lives miserable on that campaign. Dirt digging Time.
with the amount of money each of the GOP typical politicians receive personally, they won’t seek re-election and no longer need to. Off to seats on company boards, charities, NGOs and so on. And of course no interruption to the flow of personal enrichment for them and their families, sexual perversion catered for and protection from their numerous crimes ever being publicized.
1776 when?
OPM…Other People’s Money. They are all politicians, after all.
Probably the districts those congressmen represent got $$$ for their pet projects, such as in Alaska there is a lot of highway funds; just finished doing a quick scroll through its pages – this thing is packed full of money for pilot programs, research reports, commissions, studies, advocacy groups for tribal and rural areas all under the auspices of environmental, cybersecurity, a whole lot of money for railroads,
it’s really amazing, while scrolling through was thinking George Washington and all the founders would be agog with the size of the federal tentacles into every single aspect of our life, aspects that were clearly left to the individual States and citizens to rule over –
our country is a victim of the success of free enterprise. We grew so much, have done so many wonderful things since its founding that the government just kept on growing, and now it is in the process of smothering every single aspect of our lives. This bill puts the governments hooks into everything.
Sad and amazing at the same time to realize just how successful those original concepts, give me liberty, or give me death, could grow into such a behemoth.
In the very first sentence, Sundance has a link to see the roll call vote, it is easy to look up.
They got paid.
I just looked at the data on the Office of the Clerk and it says 215 D’s Yea; 212 R’s Nay; 6 D’s and 1 R (Zeldin) not voting.
Sorry, I was looking at the wrong bill. Please disregard.
228 members of the uniparty voted for this bill
President Trump wanted $1 – $2 Trillion on infrastructure?
How much of this $550 Billion goes to real infrastructure. 10%? 12%?
There is a list at zero hedge with all of the amounts broken down. Lot of pork. 65 billion for Amtrak mostly in the NE corridor most likely. Fancy trains etc. Amtrak works there, not so much for the rest of the country. WHich is real shame. IF you haven’t been to Europe etc and seen their train systems, you would understand. Love to look up and see Banhoff. off to another country.
Trump talked about making a decent rail system, didn’t do it though. Even used the Train and the term Trump Train. Try and make up for that will ya.
You might just take a look at all those who vote with the rats, and you might just see why Trump didn’t get as much done as he wanted to…..maybe? I do know it takes more than one person to pass a bill.
YOu have to present a program to see if you get votes. No such thing happened. I watch a lot don’t denigrate yourself by trying to pretend how much the other person knows and has done.
OTAY.
Not a fair assessment, StoryTime!
Since Trump’s 2016 campaign began, a plan for needed infrastructure (not this kind of phony, Dem infrastructure bill!) was always one of the President’s desired initiatives. Yet the truth is, like in so many other areas of legislation, if Dems don’t want a Repub president to enjoy the popularity of successful legislation, they refuse to deal.
If you look up the record, you’ll see that the foregoing is absolutely true.
Or just read Peter Navarro’s new book.
LINK to the Train Bill
looks like a small fraction for bridges and a big bailout for big tech and amtrak to me. plus a whole bunch of money for chinese windmills and solar panels.
about as much as the shovel ready jobs bill.
Probably none will actually get to the basic infrastructure. Just like the “shovel ready” jobs that Trumps predecessor had waiting on another bill.
9.16% If I got all those frightening zeroes correct. So a scosh more than nine percent. That is not pork, that is whale.
all other reporting I have seen puts this at 1.75 trillion. what’s up? 550 billion is down right reasonable if that is the case.
sorry 1.2
Do we all remember the absolute shite that got built from Obama’s shovel-ready jobs? Now we will get shite x 10
#FJB
#FNP
yeah i remember. intersections that had two traffic lights now have six to eight.
We got a lot of signs along the roads to let us know where our money was being spent. So we could be excited or something I guess.
Shame on my sloppy math skills … I meant to write … “x 1,000” … as in this “infrastructure Bill” is costing 1,000x MORE than Obama’s shovel ready infrastructure jobs.
BTW … My upper, upper, middle class suburban enclave got new Handicap curb ramps from Obama’s “infrastructure” spending. It seems as though our existing ramps were sloped 5.5 deg. …. but the new reg’s. req’d 4.75 deg. So the ramps were all torn up and rebuilt. Yes … the 6” tall curb ramps were “too steep to be safe”
Wow. That shows about as much understanding of reality as the 14-year-old’s science project that became “6 feet distancing.”
Remember when they refused to vote for President Trump’s actual infrastructure of building the wall?
Mexico would pay for it ultimately by charging fees to cross the border— legally.
For peanuts, our country could have been secured and respected.
I know— I know— Stolen Elections have Consequences.
Why do people say the DEMOCRATIC party? They are not. Far from it. They are DEMOCRATS. Always have been.
Because the Pravda media says it.
We need an actual SECOND PARTY in DC. Until all those conservatives who keep crying that the Republican Party just needs to be cleaned up figure it out, this will keep on happening because it’s designed that way by the UniParty
MTG described this as at most 9% “infrastructure.” Hate to think whose pockets the other 91% goes into.
At this point I will just be glad if it doesn’t have amnesty, which the parliamentarian said they couldn’t put in reconciliation.
I heard last month it was 10% actual infrastructure.
Sorry to say, but I put my money on Nan and Chuck and the Commies to ram the BBB through.
The scoring is “fixed” and will come in at 1.9 trillion.
The have played the numbers game with the press. They let the media say things like, “Oh, it will cost 4 trillion or at the least, 3 trillion” and they’ll manage to finagle so that the scoring comes in under 2 so it will sound as if they are “being reasonable.”
The Gop will fight but it will be the usual pathetic fight with no great orators, no organized, planned theatrics for tv….you know, the usual incompetency.
And then it won’t matter who becomes POTUS any more.
Here is the list of the Republican house members who voted yes:
Bacon, Nebraska; Fitzpatrick, PA; Garbarino, NY; Gonzalez, OH; Katko, NY; Kinsinger, IL; Malliotakas, NY; McKinley, WV; Reed, NY; Smith, NJ; Upton, MI; Van Drew, NJ; Young, Alaska
They will call it “bipartisan”, but really is not as we all know there is only one party in this country. It was a vote of the socialists vs the people. Sadly the people lost. Again.
“Even as the clock approached midnight, lawmakers gathered on the floor cheering, high-fiving and backslapping as they sent the bill to Biden’s desk.” (Politico) A perfect gift to counter the recent GOP high fiving and the RINO’s always oblige.
I look forward to reading sundance’s reliable analysis of this Bill which is $600 billion less than the $1.5 Trillion often mentioned and what I thought it was. Voters, especially primary voters, should learn the full facts about the Bill to determine how much of a GOP betrayal this was.
From Marjorie Taylor Greene:
Katko 202-225-3701
Bacon 202-225-4155
Van Drew 202-225-6572
Young 202-225-5765
Upton 202-225-3761
Kinzinger 202-225-3635
Gonzalez (OH) 202-225-3876
Reed 202-225-3161
Smith 202-225-3765
Gabarino 202-225-7896
Malliotakis 202-225-3371
Fitzpatrick 202-225-4276
McKinley 202-225-4172
Two of the worst have primary challengers endorsed by PDJT:
Kinzinger 202-225-3635 ? Catalina Lauf
Gonzalez (OH) 202-225-3876 ? Max Miller
I also notice that the UniParty musical chairs were swizzled this time to a slightly different cast of reprobates than usual.
call, and the F.I.B. will pay you a visit
Of course it passed. Luntz, Kev and the rest of the failed GOPe Leadership gang needed something to fundraise for, so they created that reason.
Oh and great negotiating skills Mitch, you allowed this vote to pass and got nothing. 20 Billion to complete a wall would have been a good start. Sell out.
I read an interesting article recently about the term RINO. It makes a pretty good case that Trump is a RINO (which he is). The real republican party are the politicians that drive us crazy and they are fairly elected and reelected every cycle by real republican voters. We are the RINO’s here at the treehouse.
IMHO Trump is a MAGA populist that used the R voting structure to get elected. He is a RINO. He is also not a conservative.
TCH readers should come to terms with the real situation on the ground. We are the minority at about 15% of the republican voters.
Reagan, Perot, the TEA Party, and Trump are one-offs. DeSantis may be a one-off too. I don’t expect him to survive (politically) much longer.
BTW, there has never been, or ever will be, a TV or radio host that is on our side so stop idolizing them.
I don’t know. History could also say Paul Revere was a one-off; Patrick Henry too; and Washington, Hancock, and all the rest. Small, ragtag group of visionaries, men that simply wanted to be left alone. Fat lady isn’t even close to singing.
Speak for yourself. I left the Republican Party under the reign of Bushius Stupidius I .
I’m more than a bit surprised that you think readers here are not aware of this.
Sundance has put out exceptional articles detailing what we are up against.
15%?
80 million votes for PDJT in 2020 (despite the steal) beg to differ.
Sundance himself repeatedly says “there are more of us than there are of them.”
I used to say that too. We are the real RINOs. We vote for these people only because we do not have any other choice. We are not republicans/repugnicans. Most republican voters are American/MAGA/Patriots. The actual republican/repugnican party is the other arm of the UniParty. We share nothing in common with them. They are republicans, we are RINOs.
I disagree that we are a minority. We are not. We simple have no representation. No voice. They stole our votes and our voice.
At this point the question isn’t if the 13 Republican are Conservative, they aren’t.
The question is, do the 6 Democrats who voted against the Infrastructure have more integrity and respect for our country than the 13 Rino-cons?
They were probably allowed to vote no, Pelosi already knew she had 13 terrible Republicans to vote yes. My rep voted yes and I am hugely disappointed. I thought she was good but I will not vote for her again.
No…they have integrity for their wacked-out “principles”….which at least served our benefit THIS time by being on the right side of the bill. Those other Repubs just don’t have ANY principles.
What a travesty for the US. This says $550 billion.
CNN says: The House just passed the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill
So which is it, $550 billion or $1.2 trillion?
Think it’s $550 from the Senate’s version. They keep repeating the higher number to make it sound more of a Biden victory. They also do it to desensitized us to these massive numbers.
This is a huge victory for the GOP and Dems. And the mega-global corporations couldn’t be more pleased.
*13 Republicans voted in favor of the bill:
-Don Bacon (Nebraska)
– Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania)
-Andrew Garbarino (New York)
-Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio)
-John Katko (New York)
-Adam Kinzinger (Illinois)
-Nicole Malliotakis (New York)
-David McKinley (West Virginia)
-Tom Reed (New York)
– Chris Smith (New Jersey)
-Fred Upton (Michigan)
-Jeff Van Drew (New Jersey)
-Don Young (Alaska)
-6 Democrats voted against it:
-Ilhan Omar;
-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez;
-Ayanna Pressley;
-Rashida Tlaib;
-Cori Bush;
-Jamaal Bowman.
These Dems who voted against it – that’s “the Squad.” So they probably complained that it wasn’t enough of a burden for the people. Not in those terms of course.
Yes! The “Squad” now has 6 commies. It’s growing… like a cancer.
Yeah the “squad” voted against it out of principle…their principle – it was not commie enough for them.
The “Republicans” ( really democrats) IMHO intentionally voted for this bill inorder to crater ’22 by pissing off Trump voters so that they dont turn out on election day.Brillant move by the DNC. Repub leadership once again outflanked and out maneuvered.
Uh – I think you have that backwards. Pissed-off Trump voters turn out in greater numbers than ones who aren’t. They don’t stay home. Virginia shows that. 2020 showed that too.
Of course at this point there are none who aren’t – the numbers are growing from other newly pissed-off voters. Lots of them.
We can’t stop these RINOs from propping up the Democrats, but with any luck they’ll be primaried and VOTED OUT OF OFFICE!
More than luck, we need more good challengers bubbling up.
Rather than just pounding the keyboard, send some cash to Catalina Lauf and Max Miller this week.
Never any doubt.
In their tiny swamp rat brains, the uniparty must be made whole after suffering through those stupid America First policies of the Orange Man.
This is the existential threat the politicians and news actors prattle on about. Their parasitic political industry whose only goal is nepotism and their bank accounts is critical to the survival of the nation, don’t you know.
MAGA! …by draining the swamp!
Voting for a lesser evil every 2 years is really working well for us.
Well as much as I despise Ohio’s Tim Ryan, I can only vote for his Republican opponent (who is yet to be determined) if:
I have been doing it since 1992 and here we are, not much has changed.
You knew the rePUBLIcants were going to screw this up….but damn….it only passed with their votes.
I bet funding for the CDC’s COVID death quarantine camps are on page 1
We all know these “Republicans” aren’t REALLY Republicans. These people simply know they live in Red States, want to get elected, so they run as Republicans. 22 and 24 – we need to BOOT them ALL out! I’m praying that here in SC, a REAL Republican will step up and run against Lindsey Graham.
He’s there for another five years…that’s the problem! Just like Thom Tillis of NC.
The leaders of the republican party in the senate let us down!! Unorganized as usual… What did they do to make sure this wouldn’t happen? As usual nothing.
Again…why are we voting for these clowns in 2022?
They aren’t unorganized. They are complicit.
Re: 13 republicans supported it. The final vote was 228/206.
So, without the 13 Republican traitors, the final total would have been 215 ayes to 218 nays; i.e., it would not have passed!
No, they would have just had several of the commie dems who voted against it switch their votes. They were just grandstanding for their far left base.
We do the same thing and let people like Collins vote lefty to appease her liberal repub base when we don’t need her vote.
Six Democrats voted against it; so, 4 out of those 6 would’ve had to change their vote. Considering that 4 of the 6 were the 4 members of ‘the Squad’ and vehemently against the bill for the reason that it didn’t authorize ENOUGH spending, I doubt that any of them would have switched just to make nice with Pelosi.
THe real story is the same old story. The disgusting Repubs are worse than the DemonRats.
Of course they want to renew their membership in the Club.
They voted for the whole 2700 page enchilada.
They are the lowest of the low. I am sick of being betrayed by these bastards.

Steve Scalise is the minority whip. What happened Steve?
I do recommend scathing calls to this guy.
Names and faces of the 13.
Time to spread them far and wide and ensure come 2022, We the People throw them out of office once and for all.
I say put their names and faces up on street signs for all to see.
The Traitorous Baker’s Dozen
I like whoever came up with branding these people as “Pelosi’s Republicans” better!
Great name.
circled in purple in graphics below.
I thought this was advertised as 1500 billion, not 500 billion. In spite if the traitorous &RINOs that allowed this to pass, am I right in thinking this was something of a win?
I think it was a big win. This is the Senate infrastructure bill that had a lot of republican support – there’s no way it was going to fail in the democrat controlled house. And it can no longer be used as shelter to vote for the other bill. That is why they wanted this linked with the BBB bill, and they now have lost their leverage.
The carpetbagger Gonzales….yep, go figure
Remember Obamacare? They will pay for this. Both parties are about to get churned. A few of them deserve to be ..__________……fill in the blank…
I’ve said it 1000x and and I’ll say it again, voting republican is useless and worthless.
Trump 1st 2Y, had HOUSE, had Senate and had WH…little to nothing done…for an overall 4Y term. THAT’s HOW republicans ROLL, and recall republicans WOULDN”T FUND THE WALL but their asses will FUND JOE BIDEN and Pelosi, Schumer…..LET THAT SINK IN. Last 2Y, TRUMP GOT NOTHING…yet these same damn sycophants STEPPED RIGHT UP last night and salvaged Biden, Pelosi and Schumer and TANKED WE THE TAXPAYER…….
Wait until IRS agents coming asking your about your $50 withdrawal or cash out or cash in….WAIT, because THAT WILL HAPPEN……Lerner is back in biz…..THINK YOU CAN EVER WIN against the IRS….name 1 person that EVER HAS???? That’s WHAT the republicans just GAVE TO WE THE PEOPLE….among other things,….but THANKS for the MASSIVE TAX HIKES and likely MILEAGE/TRAVEL tax for those of us that drive distances to and from work….
Va occurs every now and then. Recall Va rose up and Brat won a major election back….but then lost next round. Va gets stomped in the ground and then the good people rise up and re-take the state for 2Y…..Same for NJ….
The point is, WE CAN NEVER CONTINUE that momentum BECAUSE WE CANNOT TRUST nor DEPEND on republicans…McCarthy should be STRIPPED today…McConnell should be STRIPPED today….
Amazing, Pelosi and Schumer can KEEP 100% of the caucus UNIFIED and SWAY/PULL republicans EVERYTIME “THE VOTE” is needed. Did Trump EVER receive THAT from even the republicans, much less the dems? Dems made dang sure TRUMP FAILED……and did everything in their power TO FAIL his fate….
We, Conservatives, fool ourselves so often thinking the republicans are ‘going to do something great’….VA WIN on Tues and on Fri, we PUNT to the dems and allow them to run it back untouched…..for a TD and a great WIN…for THEM, NOT WE THE PEOPLE!!!
The republicans don’t know how to win, they don’t care to win; they are just worthless
And if you think I’m blowing smoke, tell me my TWO republican senators, Tillis and Burr are WORTH A DAMN????!!!!!

AND WE GAVE JOE BIDEN A VICTORY FOR THIS?????

Yet, WE GAVE JOE BIDEN VICTORY…
I don’t KNOW this country…..
The people’s house has waved their magic wand again. Another Friday night vote for an unread bill. Under the pseudo name of infrastructure (code name pork) to bamboozle the sheeple. Thirteen RINO’s came forward so this can be spun as bi partisan. Amerizuela soon to be.
Gingrich said Tues night, the GOP should be made to SIGN A CONTRACT with the USA people and WHEN and IF they fail, grounds for the entire party to primary them, defeat them, shun them and have them removed for the caucus….THINK that will occur?????????? NOPE….they will NEVER DO IT…they are spineless, worthless and THEY LOVE a $$$$ way too much….
Why does the Republican party not have a set of core principles that all their politicians have to sign on to and if they no longer agree have to resign their seat and run either as democrat of independent? I wonder if the Republican party is beyond a thoroughgoing reform, too broken to fix?
A colleague was recently deployed to process your Afghanny ‘friends and refugees’ in coastal US hub. Primary bugs and features:
This is where your money is going.
A Republican Party that allowed and enabled The Big Steal last November is a Republican Party that knows the criminal Junta will be nothing but destructive, malignant and evil. They don’t care, and neither do I anymore. The GOP has had exactly a year to prove they stood for something, and they’ve shown us nothing but the finger. They won’t even tell us who’s pulling their strings. The GOP made its bed when it accepted The Crime of the Century, and now they can Lie in it.
100%
Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences. You have to admire the Dems…they doubled down on their VA loss.
AND WON…as they do..lose an election, so be it. the NEXT day, come out and POUNCE, POUND, LIE, CHEAT, STEAL and DO MORE HARM; cause there are always those creepy republicans for sale and that will sell their souls for $$$$$…..
Every Republican who voted for this should be hung for treason.
