Happy UnHappy

President Joe Biden was a happy guy when the House late Friday night passed his $1.2 trillion infrastructure package. The bill now is waiting for his signature.

The bill passed with help from some Republicans. Thirteen Republicans joined Democrats in a 228-206 final vote.

However…, some Republicans are not happy. I mean, really not happy! Ya know, that familiar unhappy, that familiar outrage, that familiar shrill, ‘how dare you vote for something that would be good for the country and its citizens’.

Samples of the expected unhappy, anti-Democracy shrill:

“Vote for this infrastructure bill and I will primary the hell out of you” – Representative Madison Cawthorn, Republican of North Carolina.

Last week, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia, said of her fellow Republicans who might be thinking of voting for the bill, you are “a traitor to our party, a traitor to [your] voters and a traitor to our donors.”

After the vote, the Representative from Georgia, who some think her elevator does not go all the way to the top floor, said this of the thirteen Republicans: you voted to “pass Joe Biden’s Communist takeover of America”.

OK then.
