[a little elbow grease]

Just heard on CNN an off hand reference that the accident may have had something to do with cutbacks in regulations and inspections by President Trump.

These people are incorrigible .......... and desperate.

We have lived in this area for our entire lives. Sound Transit our friendly local 50 Billion dollar public transportation government boondoggle has spent 800 million dollars upgrading this stretch of track. So it certainly had nothing to do with a restriction of funds by Donald Trump.

This was the maiden voyage of an Amtrak train going on this stretch of track and they could only half fill their 150 seat train. This is a government boondoggle on steroids. In total, billions of dollars are being spent on a train that typically is only half full even though it is only designed to carry 150 people in total.

I have been fighting this nonsense for years. It would take a book the length of war and peace to document the horrendous waste of government funds involved in this joint Sound Transit / Amtrak project. Billions of dollars have been spent on a project that was never even expected to benefit more than a very small number of passengers. I wrote dozens of letters over the years to our local paper. Supposedly spending all this money on this lunacy was going to emit less carbon dioxide and save the earth.

Of course, it’s gotta be Trump’s fault. LOL

If it got knocked off the tracks by a meteor they would figure out how to blame it on Trump. And, of course, the usual nodding heads would nod. You just cannot take the legacy media seriously anymore.
