DMT: Democrats are making sausage. Republicans are flinging poo.

[Montauk6]

Every few months or so, the Trump White House would declare “Infrastructure Week!” — seven days for the president to focus the country’s attention on his plan to rebuild the country’s decaying roads, bridges, and airports. The problem, of course, was that Donald Trump was an agent of chaos, pathologically incapable of detaching from the frenzy of the news cycle.

The other problem: There was no plan. They were winging it.

The first Infrastructure Week, in June 2017, was an on-the-fly attempt to distract from James Comey’s testimony to Congress. The strategy collapsed when Trump used a Rose Garden speech to rant about James Comey.

Subsequent tries had similar results: Infrastructure Week 2, in August 2017, coincided with Trump’s “both sides” remarks about the Charlottesville white supremacists. Infrastructure Week 3, in February 2018, was overshadowed by the massacre at a Parkland, Florida, high school and the indictments of 13 Russians for election interference.

Soon, Infrastructure Week became a punchline. Eventually, it got an Urban Dictionary entry.

1. That's a good analogy for bipartisanship.

In order for it to work, you need both parties to bring something to the negotiating table that doesn't turn the whole thing into shit.
