It's difficult to stay positive these days. Even something that will help US citizens, like the passage of the infrastructure bill, has had a self-inflicted downside.
How could Georgia's Marjorie Taylor Greene attempt to punish her own party members of the GOP who voted for better infrastructure? Because she's...well, we all know what she is. An untutored clown, for one thing; don't forget that an angry Greene once stated that the US should not be giving money to Guam. As you know, Guam is a US territory.
An uncouth character or not, it's still unfathomable that Gangrene would burp out the phone numbers of pro-infrastructure lawmakers on her website, knowing full well that this would invite threats to them. There are also Republicans like Gary Palmer of Alabama, who voted against the bill--he won't be getting nasty phone messages--and are taking credit for how it's helping their constituents. Unreal.
The number of morally bankrupt politicians these days--from Paul Gosar (AZ) to Lauren Boebert (CO)--is bottomless. One of my favorite human jokes has to be Senator Tommy Tuberville (AL), who said that his kin were "fighting Communism" during World War II.
Indeed, the infrastructure deal may very well aid communities, some who have had limited access to information available online. But on the other hand, Colin Jost on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" joked, "When has more internet been bad for America?" The TV shot that accompanied his comment was from January 6th: scads of adult hoodlums scaling the structures of the US Capitol.
