Rob Portman tries to give credit to TFG for advancing infrastructure bill

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, a key GOP negotiator who helped design President Joe Biden's bipartisan infrastructure law, credited former President Donald Trump for helping advance the measure during his presidency.

"By making infrastructure a real priority in his administration, President Trump furthered the discussion and helped Republicans like me think differently about the positive impact of investment in core infrastructure," Portman said at the signing ceremony for Biden's infrastructure deal.

During his four years in office, Trump repeatedly sank efforts to address infrastructure. His efforts to lead "infrastructure week" to no avail become a running joke.

Portman also argued the bill Biden was signing would help dampen inflation by pouring money to repair roads, bridges, highways, and ports — shoring up a battered supply chain in the process.

10. I am sorry but that is hideously sickly funny. It demonstrates an

absolute control of human beings by a hideous criminal dictator. Enough so that this once "kind of normal" politician has to bend over backwards to appease the king.

I think normal laymen like us cannot fathom or conjure up an explanation for this. It is far beyond the normal understanding of decent people.

worth it?
