As we do work on our infrastructure, we need to move into a cleaner future and out of the past. We need high speed trains, subways, and electric buses.

The charging stations for electric cars is a great plan, but when the freeways are so crowded with traffic that you cannot move, then it sucks, we need to get people out of their cars and onto public transportation in the urban areas.

Salute,

Tony V.

Make public transport free...no timetables in rush hour.
"A train will be along sometime for where you want to go...about every 10 minutes."
Same with buses..."get on and get off whenever and wherever you like."
"No setting up house in the trains or buses, we're watching for that".
No fare evasion, no arrests, cops can spend their time just policing crime.

Matt Gaetz sounds like a great guy.

Somewhere Liz Cheney is laughing her ass off.

Matt is not only a great guy, but he's smart too.

The NYT is reporting he allegedly paid for sex with cash, and he's discrete. He booked his parties online and there was a receipt.

He probably wanted to use the receipt to write off the expense as constituent services.

Nothing secretive - all out there

And really...................no case.

Except that he is friends with a scummy type, Greenberg.

kid is 1/4 Sherlock Holmes, 1/4 Inspector Clouseau 1/4 Charlie Chan and 1/4 Sam Spade.
Elba can sleep at ease knowing kid has vouched for Rep. Gaetz' character and integrity.

As we rise from this cirisis...

We need union wage scales, and prevailing wages, and we need for the money to go to the workers instead of going to the government. The workers need to earn enough money to buy a home and raise a family. Right now many workers are living in their cars.

And we need fair trade with China. And we can benefit from using tariffs in order to get fair trade.

China needs to buy from the USA, China needs to buy oranges from California and from Florida, and potatoes from Idaho, and beef from Texas and from Nevada, and cheese from California, and Harley Davidson motorcycles, and Bourbon whiskey from Kentucky, and California wine, and avocados from California, etc. The Chinese need to buy American products.

We should not punish American companies with high taxes, and we need to demand fair trade with China. Meanwhile we can make sure the wages go up for workers via union wage scales and prevailing wage lists.

We also need to send union representatives to our Southern Border to tell our new immigrants where the good union jobs are, the farm workers are lucky and we have the United Farm Workers union, and we have other great unions, the Teamsters, and others, and we need to send the union reps to our Southern Border.

Salute,

Tony V.

Indeed

[facilitatorn]

When Gaetz starts serving his stretch at least he will get a chance to associate with a better class of person than he caucuses with in congress. The general population at any prison is made up of far better people than any group of elected or appointed republicans.

goodbye trickle down. Tax and spend like FDR is the way to go. How did it get lost?

White folks kept shooting themselves in their feet aiming at black and brown people.

Can't wait for UNO to respond and it's off to the races we go!!!

Well...

Speaking of shooting...

https://nypost.com/2021/04/01/suspect-arrested-in-road-rage-shooting-that-killed-mom-of-6/amp/

Could be another Black man off to prison for the rest of his life ... all over accidentally being cut off in traffic.
Ridiculous.
Don't suppose front seat passengers in cars are allowed to have machine guns in their lap, ready to fire as soon as they see anyone in another car point a gun at them?

[facilitatorn]

No they are not, but you can go down to the hardware store and buy a hammer to hit yourself in the face with. Just ask Mrs. Bambu for some pocket money.

[LarryBnDC]

Amazing how a response to a question concerning the nation’s shift from New Deal politics to trickle down economics (or Voodoo economics according the HW. Bush) turned into examination of an individual committing a heinous crime.

That is the state of American politics.

Follow the money. Same as it ever was.

I suggest you revisit the Jane Mayer story in the New Yorker.

Scroll up for the link you previously dissed.

Today's Gaetz allegations, per CN


According to one of the people familiar with the matter, an employee at the tax collector's office saw Greenberg and Gaetz on internal office surveillance video looking through driver licenses on a weekend evening.
In a text message exchange shared with CNN that the source said was between Greenberg and the employee, Greenberg confirmed he was in the office "showing congressman Gaetz what our operation looked like."

Earlier:


In a statement to the Times, Gaetz's office said: "Matt Gaetz refutes all the disgusting allegations completely." Greenberg's attorney declined to comment to the Times.

I dont think this included the allegations of the meeting, with the looking through IDs.
