Once again we visit the timeline of Oilfield Rando for a ‘play-by-play’ of the stupidity in the Infrastructure Bill and the ridiculous things Democrats are getting away with because Republicans are basically letting them. As he points out in this thread, our GOP sadly seems more and more useless, hiding behind the excuse that they’re the minority.
It’s getting old, folks.
But what’s not getting old is Rando’s take on the bill. Hey, it still sucks but if we can laugh a little why not?
