Trump 60 Minutes interview;

• Climate Change is real, but he doesn't want to spend trillions of dollars fighting it, nor does he want to risk millions of jobs
• Believes Putin is behind assassinations, but as long as those aren't happening in the US, he is an ally
• Russia & China meddled in the election
• Believes his taunting of Christine Blasey Ford was a form of respect and that Kavanaugh wouldn't of won had he not made the comments

He called his taunting of Ford his famous Mississippi speach. Like it was the Gettysburg address.

You left out the part about the separation of families and kids in cages was Obama, but it's a great way to prevent illegal immigrants from invading our country

So news of the morning relates to Elizabeth Warren releasing a DNA test that shows she had Native American DNA, leading back to Trump's promise to donate $1M to charity of Trump's choice if it did. Trump now claiming he never said it despite video evidence to the contrary.

Late: LA’s zoning would actually be fine if they could spend the money to create a subway system similar to NY.


Or fuck it, make a monorail system ala Japan. Currently the commuter system sucks and ultimately is what is screwing us over.


When we lived in Covina our apt was right next to a train stop, and my husband’s work was right next to one, too. But the last stop at his spot was at exactly 6pm, so he couldn’t use it because that’s the time he got out of work. Who stops a trains service just before the evening rush? Dumbass LA, that’s who.

Metrolink is weird like that. They have some really odd scheduling such as no trains from specific OC stations between 1 and 4pm. Also on housing at least in SoCal...everything being built at least in my city is 5-7 bedroom houses because they seem to be catering to multigenerational families.

Trump claiming he never said things he's been video taped saying is like a daily news headline.

Also the video of Graham blaming the media for "making Donald Trump sound like some kind of kook" when he called Donald a witness Kook 8 months ago is just amazing.

I think it's partially because the freight lines continue to get priority over commuter trains. The freights own the rails after all so scheduling the commuters around them is a pain in the ass. It's also why Amtrak is complete ass over here compared to the Midwest & East Coast. It would be feasible to have a commuter train from LA<>Bakersfield but alas the only option until lol-never-going-to-be-completed high speed rail is a slow bus.

Amtrak is hot garbage everywhere but the Northeast Corridor. Like hottest hot garbage. Same reason, CSX, BNSF and Union P own everything.

This. Can't wait for the next Depression and WPA act to install new rail infrastructure on the backs of the labor class. Maybe my grandchildren will live in a thriving urban megalopolis by then.

I would gladly fund a massive buyout of the ownership of those rails down the road. Alternatively they could just nationalize it.

The problem right now is that train shipping is still too cost effective to fuck with. I think once we see the automated trucking industry taking a further chunk out of the cost basis it'll shift.

What really sucks and is unfortunate about sharing with BNSF is that maybe once every 3-4 months they end up hitting a pedestrian on the tracks and they shut everything down for 3-8 hrs depending on the severity. If you are on a commuter train you are pretty much screwed trying to get home.

Train shipping is also way more sustainable in terms of mpg/ton.

As of now, yes.

This happened last summer in Chicago on the El - a body was found on the tracks during rush hour at one of the busiest hubs (reference - Belmont/Fullerton stretch of the Brown/Purple/Red line). Everyone had to get off and find an alternate way to work, which for a majority was 5 miles away. Buses were crammed (even with an added fleet), and Ubers were surcharging to 100 bucks. Shit was nuts. This wasn't anything new but it's the first time I've seen it happen in a chokepoint with no alternative paths for trains to take.

Also, train operators owning the infrastructure prevents it from being a burden shifted to taxpayers (maintaining highways.)

this is literally a spy movie plot.

[Niiro]

Apparently there are some bad neighborhoods inside the Saudi consulate, stuff like this just happens sometimes.

[Salodin]

I want to see Lindsey Graham tow the line on this so so bad...
