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.”

I think this needs more oxygen. Other things are drowning it out. If this aspect of things: a threat to a person in the succession (Pence) and his successor in that chain (Pelosi) are both targeted by the person trying to overthrow the US Government (Trump) is proven true...why is Trump still walking around in the free air?

Well, not that we didn't already think this. The Lincoln Project's eulogy after Liz' defeat is confirmed.

I was watching the final episode of season 1 of Lost during the bad inning. Many of the words in the preceding sentence can be rearranged to describe the Tiger's season.

I like him and I hope for good things for his future. I'm worried this rail line is more optimistic than realistic.

Pete, this seems a little self-serving https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2022/08/17/ann-arbor-traverse-city-train-service/10346372002/

While in NC last weekend i saw many ROE/DOBBS ads. It’s an issue that has many women in the research triangle agitated .

Bad news for Desantis

Have they all been broken yet?

What she said she'd do is prevent Trump from being president. That is the standard you can hold her to.

Well now

I think this guy is not doing a Colbert Report spoof either.

https://news.yahoo.com/explosion-hits-office-russian-commander-162700796.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall I think Ukies got somebody. Hearing no exact casualties yet.

Which sets up a court case.

I think the most important thing would be to have her in GOP debates against Trump. That would be the Liz Warren destroying Bloomberg effect.

It isn't like there isn't anti-Trump $ on the GOP sidelines. If she sticks a metaphorical dagger into Trump that would be enough.

Just so

BTW....what was the discussion about the Lincoln Project and The Bulwark all about, again?
