As you likely heard, an Amtrak train derailed in the Seattle area with multiple dead. President Trump sends his condolences. https://twitter.com/realpresssecbot/status/942827084308561920 (E: knew I shouldn't have taken the time to check my spelling)

If you want to actually craft legislation that addresses crumbling infrastructure instead of just giving massive payouts to private companies that will spend a few weeks slapping timbers and spackle around...what's that? You plan on doing exactly that? Oh, well then gently caress you.

One of my big fears has been that Trump would have the sense to propose a big new deal style mass construction program to cement his popularity, and thus cement all his other horrible evils. Which is exactly what Bannon was trying to get him to do. We are really lucky Trump is as dumb as he is.

Any plan they come up, that has a chance in hell of passing, involve selling off infrastructure projects to for-profit enterprises. Not just contracting out the work--selling off the entire drat thing. That'll go over as expected.

Reminds me of when they were putting commuter trains in Austin, when they discovered that the rail road crossings in a few locations could not support passenger cars. They found this out on the first full trip with the city council on board. Zil fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Dec 18, 2017 |

Slugworth posted:I might be wrong, but I think the train was new, but the track was old. News kept going on and on about how it was a freight line that Amtrak doesn't own. It was a new bypass on an existing line, whose purpose was to allow Amtrack passenger trains to zip through the Tacoma area at nearly 80 miles per hour and shave 10 minutes off the trip time from Seattle to Portland. The train that derailed this morning was the first one to go through at that speed.

Really though the Trump Presidency has been everything I was worried it would be, from Trump filling up positions with completely inexperienced rich people, to the massive Tax Breaks he's giving himself and his rich buddies, to giving corporations free reign to just gently caress over the public at whim. I cannot figure out how anyone could have thought this would go differently because it was so blatantly obvious from the get go how things would turn out.

Speculation but I believe Mueller might have a dead man’s switch if Trump attempts to fire him in the form of a sealed indictment to be executed in the case of Trump attempting to fire Mueller. I think it might be Sessions, maybe the White House Counsel too. If Trump declares publically that he will fire Mueller, the FBI executes. Trump needs to order someone to fire Mueller but what if he does and that person is being arrested?
