This country has a problem with celebrity CEOs. I am sick to death of seeing ads telling me to adore Elon Musk. And there was another thing recently I seem to recall...the guy's name escapes me: New York real estate and gambling.

Fetterman is Amadeus in his prime and Oz is a new world monkey flinging his poop and banging his toys against the cage bars.

Hopefully the familial bond with the rapist will allow blessed mother and baby to form an affection for the rapist as well. Also, the State government will be loved because of the bond between mother, child and social services. Lots of healing will happen in our new consequence-free, rape-em-all culture.

Kari Lake doesn't belong anywhere near an executive position for any organization at any level.

There is more to that...

So, do Proud Boys and Boogaloo Boys start a race war between now and November?

You have to think this will have impact in November. Mitch knows. He's annoyed as hell that the monster he created (Supreme Court majority) has created another monster which in turn has come to kill his GOP majority.

NYTpitchbot is gonna have a field day with this one.

Jordan has to wrestle with this issue all the time.

Remember there is a significant faction of voters who are excited by the mafia and identify with them in movies and tv shows. There are also a smaller, but not zero amount of voters who are excited by dictators and identify with them in movies and tv shows.

You missed nothing. The number of people in positions of trust who are infected by Gateway Pundit and the rest of the bizonkers influence operation of the far right is very high. You can tell when you tour a US Government building parking lot and see all the Virginia Gadsden Flag license plates or the bumper stickers which proclaim the driver a proud libertarian. People working for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT who have this plate

Rail offers the advantage that you go direct to a city center without having to park. You can't bring all the crap you might bring by car. The travel time by car from Washington to Chicago (prob similar from NYC) is gonna be at least 11 hours. Make the time similar by train and you might get some people. Improve it by even a couple hours and you'll have people jumping on the ability to avoid airports.

I think this is the general idea Detroit to Toronto by train plan gets boost with Amtrak agreement (freep.com)

I think the idea would be that you get on a train in Detroit which you had to clear the customs. That train rolls through under the water or wherever and you stop in Windsor for customs and then onto destinations in Canada. The benefit being you don't need to get across via car or whatever. This would free up for possible Chicago to Toronto routes.

Why should McConnell spend a dime when its Peter Thiel's senate seat to buy

The latter would be huge. Detroit should connect direct to NYC and Washington DC without weird transfer at Toledo bs. My general problem with passenger rail as a customer is that in any area where you are on the same rail as freight...you are not the priority. The coal from Wyoming and such has priority. So, you get to wait while that freight has priority. This all stems from a super long trip i took to North Carolina in 2015 with my son. Its an 7-8 drive and it took 18 hours because the ground was wet and so our train had to slow down and freight kept out prioritizing our train. Now the NE corridor and probably California passenger rail is great. My trips to NYC from Washington DC have been great and better than a drive would be for sure. it should be. But to incentivize the customers to ride, it has to be a better experience than that if you were going to go from Ann Arbor to Traverse City.

I'm unhappy with the prospect that you might have the same pressures on audiences to subscribe to Paramount and Peacock as MLB has been happy to pass off to its fanbase.

I like the sound of that.

Charlie Sykes, the thought criminal from the completely debunked bougie The Bulwark writes this morning Unlike, say, Joe Walsh or Bill Weld, Cheney’s quixotic bid would be able to muster some formidable firepower. Brownstein writes: All of which would give TrumpWorld and the RNC fits. To the surprise of absolutely no one, their reaction will be petulant and petty. Reeks of confidence and courage doesn’t it? ** But, if she can’t win (and she can’t) what’s the point of a Cheney presidential bid? An excellent question that Brownstein posed to a bunch of smart people, including our publisher, Sarah Longwell. More likely, however, she could weaken him to the point he becomes unelectable in the general election. As Brownstein notes that “The only plausible way to break Trump’s hold on the GOP… is to show that Trump, or Trumpism, cannot win national elections.”
