Newsom calls littered LA rail tracks ‘unacceptable,' brings along cleanup crew

So they recalled the trash.
Wait...Ah'm so confused.

#1  How do we do a better job in making sure that this doesn't have to continue to happen?

Conveniently ignoring the fact that it would have never happened in the first place if Newsom and his buddy George Gascon had been doing their jobs.

#2  The obvious lefty answer to the problem is to create infrastructure that allows the looting to happen in an orderly and photogenic way.

'What a decade it's been for you!' Pete Buttigieg's husband posts tone-deaf 40th birthday message to the under-fire Transport Secretary on day he's accused of 'sleepwalking' through 5G fiasco and having NO solution to the problem

#3  If we really had an opposition party, they'd be running motions and hearings asserting "fraud" for sending checks to Buttigieg. He's clearly not a government "employee" in that he does ZERO work. Its PUBLIC GRAFT to pretend that he's worthy of a title and money for just being a gay faceplate.

#5  Got a little train looting problem too, which I understand is not covered by local jurisdiction.

And now that word is out.

Maybe the Covid approach; start fining those companies and locations who don't comply and we'll figure out how the consequences are your fault down the road; likely saboteurs and anti-science radicals who think they are mind control devices.

#6  ...which I understand is not covered by local jurisdiction

U.S. Code section 1991 – "Entering train to commit crime: This statute makes it a crime to willfully and maliciously trespass upon or enter a railroad train, car, or locomotive with the intent to commit murder or robbery. It applies in any territory or district within the jurisdiction of the United States. If a defendant enters a train in such a territory with the intent to commit murder or robbery, the defendant could face up to 20 years imprisonment. If a defendant enters a train with the intent to commit any unlawful violence upon a passenger, conductor, engineer, fireman, brakeman, mail agent, express messenger, or any officer or employee or person or property on the train, the defendant could be convicted and imprisoned for up to a year".

...so the Feds.

#7  ^ Noted this the other day. "Robbery" usually involves taking property from an individual under threat of force. Breaking into a boxcar could be considered "burglary," which isn't the same thing. I'm no lawyer, but I do know burglary and robberyare not necessarily the same thing.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 01/21/2022 14:09 Comments || Top||

#8  I believe burglary is not considered a 'violent' crime. Robbery is.

#9  Buttigieg is a placeholder, someone who fills space and occupies a position. He is not there to solve any problems. The administration is virtue-signaling to capture votes from a segment of the population.

#10  /\ Biden is also a placeholder. Evidently there is a cartoon going around that depicts WH Chief of Staff Ronald Klain firing Biden.

#11  Buttigieg is a placeholder, someone who fills space and occupies a position. He is not there to solve any problems.

He, and all appointments like him, are also attempted political blockhouses. "Only a homophobe would notice the cargo ship jam. You ask too much of a new parent...of twins."

Like when Agriculture was like where is our fucking Autumn fertilizer!? and the response was, "Oh, just became parents...and oh, twins! How totally unexpected! Needed some extra time." Like this is some medical era pre-stethoscope.

#12  Pete's solution for our problems is direct deposit of his paychecks.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Emails apparently show dealings between Hunter Biden and Chinese executive with connections to the country's communist party

  • And they reveal that Biden's firm had stakes in Chinese companies, according to Fox Business

  • Biden was introduced to the company by a former senior aide in his father's office Francis Person

  • 'Fran has been like a son to Joe and me,' said Jill Biden when he left the White House in 2014

Regulatory costs soar as Biden adds rules faster than predecessors
[Washington Examiner] President Joe Biden has blown past both Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump in adding regulatory costs in his first year, a new analysis shows.

The Biden administration is finishing off its first full year in office with more than $201 billion in regulatory costs and approximately 131 million hours in new annual paperwork, according to research by the American Action Forum, a conservative think tank that closely tracks government rule-making.

Biden’s regulatory costs are three times those added in Obama’s inaugural year and nearly 40 times more than in Trump’s first year, the group found. Additionally, Biden’s 131 million hours in annual paperwork attached to its regulations blew past the totals from Trump and Obama by 123 million and 105 million hours, respectively.

AAF noted in its research that the single biggest regulatory change during Biden’s first year, which came near the end of 2021, was a rule that changed tailpipe emission requirements for new cars, trucks, and SUVs.

The rule requires automakers to meet a fleetwide average of 55 mph by 2026 — a significant jump from the 38 mpg average required today and higher than the 43 mpg standard the Trump administration set for 2026.

The total cost of the rule change is expected to be about $180 billion, which makes it the most expensive final rule tracked by the AAF since 2005, the group said. In fact, Biden’s inaugural year in terms of regulatory costs would have fallen to second place behind Obama’s first year had that rule not been approved.
