President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I took a look at the four Idaho congressmen — two senators, two in the House. The two senators, Risch and Crapo, voted in favor of the infrastructure bill (and are catching tons of flak for it), siting the need for highway improvements and expansion in a rapidly-growing state.

Rep. Mike Simpson tried to play both sides of the fence, making sure that five Idaho projects totaling $17 million were included in the bill, but voting no on it.

Rep. Russ Fulcher, to his credit, voted no on the bill and pursued not one single earmark for Idaho to be included in the bill.

If you're against the infrastructure bill because it's too expensive, leads to socialism, extends the grubby reach of government's hands into our lives, etc., at least be consistent about it.

Instead, Trump stood on the balcony for about two minutes, appearing to grimace and struggle to breathe while giving a thumbs-up and a salute.”

This was so obvious and so destructive. Enormous tragedy.
