Union Pacific's Big Boy No. 4014, the world's largest operating steam locomotive, is making its first tour of the East Coast as part of America 250 celebrations.
@WestMichP2 He's a moron. The Trump arch will have an observation deck and it's right near the metro station. The view will be insane. Now the expansion of the Lincoln Memorial down to the river will be tricky.
@WestMichP2 The spot Trump wants to put it is a humongous empty traffic circle that just collects litter. It's almost a half mile from the cemetery entrance and about the same distance to the Lincoln Memorial so it isn't blocking squat.
@GrayConnolly I apparently missed it when America started bombing the ever living crap out of Israel while defending Iran with a half dozen fighter squadrons.
@C4CEO It’s sad but California is a lot like Iran. There are good people there being oppressed by a dictatorial regime, but a critical mass of residence who could organize and fight back long ago moved to America.
@TonerousHyus Here how it works: Jerk bartender in the dive/hookup bar? no one cares. He’s ugly to an acquaintance? Meh, not your problem. Bartender and friend’s relationship gets in the news? Everyone trips over themselves to be part of the story.
@TonerousHyus@Steely50@NotWhitePirate The entire thing in a Bernie, Inc racket. It doesn't even really matter if Planter wins. He just has to keep producing donor bucks and every bad headline bumps up the daily haul. There is a limit, of course, but until they reach it, they don't care if Planter is an ax murderer.
