    The ones on the margins

    ...got marginalized---on both sides of the aisle.

    The extremes are left picking their noses

    The legislation — which was crafted through negotiations between President Biden, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and their designees — cleared the chamber in a bipartisan 314-117 vote and now heads to the Senate, where leaders are hoping for swift consideration as the default deadline looms.
    .
    .
    .
    The vote was 314-117, with more Democrats than Republicans offering their approval. There were 71 Republicans opposed and 46 Democrats who voted against it.

    Maybe a shift to center of the aisle action. Think not but holding out hope.

    McCarthy did a very good job.

    I still trying to believe I'm not dreaming! I will have to give McCarthy a point, I never thought he had what it takes to pull this off.

    Number of bonehead Democrats that voted against this deal - 46

    Number of knucklehead Democrats from NY that voted no - 10

    Number of pea brain Democrats from CA that voted no - 11

    So just about half the microcephalics in the Democrat party reside in either NY or CA. Good to know.

    I like the fact all of this is the result of a bipartisan effort.

    We should see the Senate act appropriately as well.
