Hunter would approve! Amtrak Joe unveils 'party' route from LA to Vegas and BILLIONS in [green?] train investment as he stands beside granddaughters Finnegan and Maisy who has him on her t-shirt
2021-05-01
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • President Joe Biden is taking planes, automobiles - but not trains - to Philadelphia to mark Amtrak's 50th anniversary on Friday

  • Biden is making the trek to sell his American Jobs Plan infrastructure bill and his American Families Plan

  • He's also celebrating Amtrak because 'Amtrak Joe' is part of his political brand - the Delaware senator who commuted to D.C. daily

  • Biden had wanted to take Amtrak from Wilmington to Washington in the run-up to his inauguration but those plans got canned due to security concerns

  • On Friday, Biden will be introduced by a conductor who served the route he took when he was a frequent passenger

  • Also on display will be the latest Acela-type high speed train, which will go into service next year

  • As part of the American Jobs Plan, Biden wants to give Amtrak $80 billion for repair work, to improve the Northest Regional lines and expand service

#12  The mid-to-later dementia patients start hitting on family members, so a wise scarecrow, if you will, so he doesn't start nibbling on fingers or something.

#4  One wonders if 'Amtrak Joe' took the same train car as everyone else or if he had his own 'special' car - you know in appreciation of his work for Amtrak all those years.
Or is it all as phoney as his trips to Home Depot?

#3  The whole idea is stupid. Park your car in Victorville and train the rest?

#2  There's no idea stupid or expensive enough for these clowns.

#1  Will they use the same construction and engineering design firms that blew out the cost of California's Train to Nowhere from $6 billion up to $100 billion?
