About time for Pat Robertson to blame the train wreck on godless homosexuals and Lesbian baby eaters.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Anyone else get the feeling we're living in 4th century Rome?

Apparently it wouldn't happen if Donald Trump was in charge.

Says Donald Trump.

Of course it would not happen if Trump were in charge. Trains would not be able to run at all.

Precisely.

Quote:White House criticizes House Republicans for planned $252 million cut to Amtrak after derailment

You see, the corporate criminals who own the House Republicunts don't use AMTRAK.  They fly in private jets from private airfields.  They don't need no stinking trains.  Trains are for the "little people!"

Same principle applies to the rest of the country's infrastructure.
