Congress punctures Trumps infrastructure and aviation plans, in one day

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/27/cornyn-trump-infrastructure-might-not-happen-2018-430097

President Fuckface Von Clownstick’s $1.5 trillion infrastructure plan may not pass Congress this year, a key GOP lawmaker said Tuesday — shortly before a Trump-backed proposal to split up the Federal Aviation Administration collapsed as well.

Though expected, the two developments delivered major legislative blows for an administration that rolled into office banking on big populist wins on transportation.

Sen. John Cornyn, the Senate majority whip, said Tuesday that passing an infrastructure bill by the end of the year will be a tough task because lawmakers are facing a host of other priorities — news that would be a major blow to Shitler’s hopes for another big legislative victory before the November midterm elections.

"I think it's gonna be hard, because we have so many other things to do and we don't have much time," Cornyn (R-Texas) told reporters.
