ā€˜Sickening that Republicans are now blaming Joe Bidenā€™s infrastructure bill for this bridge accident. The sheer gall and naked opportunism and idiocy,ā€™ epidemiologist says

RepublicansĀ are facingĀ criticism for attemptingĀ to blame theĀ BaltimoreĀ Bridge collapse on PresidentĀ Joe Bidenā€™s infrastructure bill.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed on Tuesday after a cargo ship crashed into it.Ā  Six construction workers are presumed dead.

South CarolinaĀ RepresentativeĀ Nancy Maceappeared on the rightwing channel Newsmax on Tuesday when she was asked why there are still old bridges and roads in theĀ USĀ after theĀ passing of legislation to upgrade them.

    Right, and thatā€™s my point - it could be done, we just choose not to, but leave it to Republicans to blame whoever they donā€™t like and say whatever awful thing they can that day to outdo whoever said the most awful other thing the day before because thatā€™s what shitty people do.

    Meanwhile during 4 years of Trump, every week was Infrastructure Week, nothing got done then, none of the people saying the dumb things now have any real solutions to these absolutely real problems nor do they even care to, and so here we are.

    And yes Iā€™m preaching to the choir, screaming into the void, but itā€™s the hypocrisy - itā€™s the constant hypocrisy. It just never ends. Sorry, thanks for letting me vent lol
