    I love that Republicans are suddenly for infrastructure spending.

    You understand, right, that at any point over the last six years, Republicans could have passed an infrastructure spending bill with the support of democrats and the President?

    Route 3 west of a Fredericksburg was widened with Stimulus money. I'm guessing other people here can name projects, too.

    But don't let facts interrupt your narrative, LimbaughFan.

    Trump's favorable/unfavorable is even at 46%.

    Favorable are up 9, unfavorables down 15 since just before the election.

    By the time he finishes his Inauguration Address, it will be net positive, and over 50%.

    Asking this in all seriousness: Is there anyone they could realistically put into a cabinet position that the left would not have a problem with?

    LOL. Route 3 was widened!

    That's not exactly the Golden Gate Bridge or the Lincoln Tunnel.

    Let's just admit that most of the money didn't actually go to infrastructure.

    Batman, absolutely there are plenty of people Trump could put in a cabinet position that would be well received by people on the left. Not all, because despite the foolishness you seemed to have picked up from tony, every non-conservative in this country is not part of some monolithic collective in which every being thinks the same way.

    Perhaps you should actually take a critical look at the people Trump seems to be looking at rather than just attacking the other side of the aisle.

    OOP is right. Nobody bitched about Priebus. He's just a Republican. Nobody will bitch about Romney if he gets State. Bannon was in the hate propaganda business. Sessions has a documented 40 year history of nasty racism. That's different in kind, not degree. It's the difference between "this administration will pursue policies I dislike" and "this administration appears to pose a threat to our national civil rights as citizens."

    If you hurt your back moving the goal posts, Rush can get you some pain meds. Your post asked if anyone could name any stimulus infrastructure projects. I did.

    Want a different answer? Ask a different question.



    But nevertheless, the Stimulus was passed during the pre-Trump era, when Republicans were opposed to infrastructure spending, demanded more than one third of the stimulus be tax cuts, and then voted against it anyways.

    Putting Bannon in the administration is the same as putting Al Sharpton in an administration, except one speaks and writes in complete sentences.

    By left do you mean the 63.54 million people who voted for Hillary CLinton or the 53.3% of people who didn't vote for Donald Trump?

    Maybe someone with not a long track record of badness?

    Do you often suggest politicians follow the socialist footsteps of FDR?
