WASHINGTON— Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday time is running short for a bipartisan deal on infrastructure, indicating that President Joe Biden will look to act without Republican support if there is no consensus when Congress returns from its Memorial Day break.“By the time that they return, which is June 7, just a week from tomorrow, we need a clear direction,” Buttigieg said. “The president keeps saying inaction is not an option. And time is not unlimited here.” He said the American people “expect us to do something.”Biden plans to meet with lead Republican negotiator, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, this coming week and says he remains open

Last week he was telling Republicans not to get in his way. The great unifier is flailing for a lifeline with toothless threats and deadlines. What a sad joke.

How very Communist of little Petey there.
Not-my-president Lyin' Joe biden is far too senile to look into anything. His other Communist handlers will decide what Communist dictates they can get not-my-president Lyin' Joe biden to sign to further weaken and destroy our republic!!!

Since when is Xiden concerned about deadlines? Didn't the New York Times recently admit that Xiden has difficulty making decisions?
Oh, that's right. It's the GOP that can't make up its mind.
Classical projection.

Anything the Dems come up with will be 10% pavement and 90% pork. I hope the GOP has the cojones to stop this thing, or at least keep it from being "bipartisan."

Like the midnight Obamacare vote-no Pubbi votes. Let him order an Ex Order and RUN AGAINST it in 22. It can be reversed when DeSantis is POTUS.

infrastructure means money laundering. the dims will ensure their union buds get most of the money and the unions will donate large to the dim campaign funds. Rinse and repeat.

In order to participate republicans should demand a full accounting of
the NON-shovel ready infrastructure con that the Obama-Biden admin
stole from tax payers. A trillion stolen. Where is it?

Poster 4, you're being generous! It's usually hard to find the pavement for all the pork in the way, and you can be sure the pavement you find has liberal pork in it!

If the GOP negotiates even one sentence of this blind robbery, they are dead as a party. On the other hand, if they let Joe push this through by signing one of his bogus declarations, the GOP is also dead as a party.

The GOP should tell the White House to go and do you know what to themselves, in a group session.

Before taking the word of Alfred E. Neuman on infrastructure, better take a look at the infrastructure he left back in South Bend, Indiana.
