First, I was told by a total MSNBC-watching, immigrant neoliberal mom that she took out a book on Kamala Harris for her son. Made me look at her different after that. Contempt then gave way to pity.

The propaganda machine relentlessly churns on, while we have this place.

What’s the latest in The Rat? I bet that overly ambitious robot mf-er is gearing up big-time for another run.

Get me the fuck out of this surveillance police state, capitalist dystopia!

At least my kids know better when they see cops, the flag or advertising, all of which are suspect to them now.

    Biden's least-worst policy is being "the trains President" and throwing a nice chunk of change to Amtrak in the infrastructure bill. Why the fuck was his secretary of Transportation in the news because his NY to DC flight was cancelled???

    No party discipline smh

      I'm not even saying I expect all the high ranking officials to have to travel by rail, but yes, I absolutely expect senior DOT officials including Pete to ride the one somewhat HSR line in the country when applicable. Fucking embarrassing (to them, not to me obv).

        It's doubly bizarre because the Acela is far and away better than a flight from DC to NY in every possible way. It's faster, more convenient, more comfortable, brings you into the city centre rather than Queens or NJ, and is the same price (sometimes cheaper).
