Yeah? Maybe a little bit; I mean, at least that comedian is being honest about making a farce of it all. Certainly more dignifying than anything Biden's ever done.

It doesn't to me when they're intentionally making a joke of the building.
 
I can't tell if they are that disconnected that they think the bill was in any way near to what the public wants, delusional that the Dems will somehow take this in good faith and agree to give something in return, or just corrupt and eager to go back to the Uniparty shenenigans and refuse to admit the times have changed.

They probably got paid out somehow.

And Portman is trying to get on Pelosi's good side.

Is there an "all of the above" answer?

What does the bill do? TLDR

TLDR for Congressmen as well, so don't feel bad.

That said...There's a *lot*.
First 666 pages (lol) are outlined by a fellow here: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, Part 1 (first 666 pages)

One of the more controversial items I've seen bandied about is money going to feasbility studies and pilot programs for instituting per-mile taxes for road usage, along with a billion-dollar grant to an Appalachian development fund of some kind that has Joe Manchin's wife as one of its directors so...pretty sus.
 
This is why I want a requirement that all bills must be read in full, out-loud, during session before a vote may be passed, and if this process fails to occur then all persons who voted for the bill are by strict liability responsible for any civil rights violations caused by the bill.

The infrastructure bill passed, and 19 GOP senators voted for it; they need to be primaried next time they are up for election.

They're likely hoping for the goldfish memory effect. The ones who voted Nay I hope were all doing it on principle, but I spotted at least one that I'm sure is doing it because he knew it would pass, and didn't want to deal with the hassle in his next election.

This. I would rather see a political body have 30 different small bills than one gigantic bill 2000 pages long. Nothing good ever comes out of massive door stopping legislation.

This was the 1.2 trillion actual infrustructure bill. Not the 3.5 trillion social infrastructure bill the Democrats want to pass.
