I believe Barack Obama once praised past accomplishments such as the “intercontinental railroad”.

"Oh build the track 1000 feet high in the USA then it will be coasting downhill all the way to the UK."

I like that idea, Sandy and all of her co-horts will get on the train, go to the UK and have no way of getting back. We won't allow the track to be built to come back. Ship them to the UK, problem solved!!!

You never met my Son.

They hang in the air like Joy Behar and he produces so many that he’s in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Look it up.

The worst part is that he’s proud of it.

"The plan ends air travel with ocean bridges.."

A bridge with a span of 2,479 miles to Hawaii from Los Angeles.

I live to see the day.

She doesn’t say anything about trains over the oceans. That’s some conservative fake news. What the PDF say is ...

“Build out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary”. As another poster said, they’re called ships.

> Ok, I admit I'm not an expert on high speed rail, but what energy propels high speed rail? <

I hate to say it, but Ocasio-Cortez is correct here. Train sail technology already exists. We just have to summon up enough courage to implement it.

I am not discounting the volatility and sheer power of the anal gasses of the standard Unicorn, only that they are perishable and so hard to come by.

Well, they are only hard to come by because they only allow virgins to have any contact with them ... and you can count the number of virgins in the Democrat Party on less than one hand ...

I think she’s a lunatic but some of my liberal friends thinks she is smart and a wonderful asset to Congress. Needless to say, I keep my big mouth shut.
