"SNIP......

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) told his colleagues this week top party donors were “furious” with the number of Republicans — including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell — who voted for the bipartisan infrastructure bill, Axios reports.

The donors complained to Scott it was foolish for any member of their party to help deliver a win to President Biden.

1. Sounds like the donors are bat**** crazy. They don't realize how

much of their wealth they will be handing over every day to the corrupt when the autocratic take power in the US. It won't just be fundraisers. It will be pay to play in business, pay off the criminal gangs to not kidnap their kids, etc. Rich people in Pakistan go shopping together with security and their own ambulances in tow. Fun, fun, fun.

2. For republicans it is about the power.

Making life better for the American people, not so much..

3. It Shouldn't Be About Wins

Maybe it should be about helping our society, improving the lives of all Americans and not just billionaires.

6. My my, aren't you cute?

When was the last time repubs actually listened to voters when setting priorities? Good one there.

14. Like GoCubsGo, I'm Not Buying It Either

I think it far more likely it's a guy who gave $50k to his campaign pouting and it became plural in Scott's tiny liar mind.

4. And they believe Rick Scott? Did he give them names?

A couple of his friends or TFG's?

7. Yeah, I ain't buying it, either.

There might be a few complainers, but a whole lot of their donors stand to benefit from both the infrastructure and BBB bills.

5. They're not getting their money's worth. Evil shits.

8. No Money for Florida?

Maybe they shouldn't give any money to the states that had congressmen and Senators voting against it?

12. That's not at ALL the way government of, by and for the people

is supposed to work, though. All states get funding for various projects, but the more populous (as in "the people"!) the more a state tends to be allocated, and Florida is the third most populous state.

Fwiw, tRump and a lot of the Republicans in congress would understand the reasoning perfectly and be way out ahead on it. The less actually for people in any state, the more for donors.

Oh, btw, 48% of Floridians voted Democrat.

9. Scott is a convicted liar but sure.

10. Floriduh don't need no infrastructure

11. Notice the identity politics ALWAYS at play here, They never care about America

and how to help our country. It's only about not working with the Democratic Party.


Why do Republicans hate America?

13. Tax Their Trust Funds

That’ll get ‘em angry.
