Devastatingly Important Political Conversation

[VerbalAbuse]

I want Tom Homan, border czar, to tell me how the FUCK he is going to deport me back to my home, because I would very much like that...though I highly doubt his people can handle my issue which was created not by Biden but by CERN. I'm on the right planet, country and state - but the wrong dimension. Fix it. NOW. I know things...

I did not see the movie The Planet of the Apes, I don't know what you're talking about.

I believe Tren de Aragua is the only train the country needs. let's disband and shut down all the other railways.

 

[HisArpy]

harpies are a crucial political matter, one that should not drop from the front page.

<-- isn't going anywhere. Well, maybe. It depends. On a lot of things.

 

[HisArpy]

you're right. mere intimation does not work. they should also fuck them in the ass.

With a cactus.

 

[VerbalAbuse]

With a cactus.

As, I see you read Perdido Street Station.

 

[HisArpy]

Sorry, I don't use public transit.

too many sorry asses...

The fuel tax doesn’t even cover the cost of maintaining the roads we already have. It’s not being used to pay for buses and trains.

https://reason.org/policy-brief/how-much-gas-tax-money-states-divert-away-from-roads/

Oregon introduced the first gas tax in 1919 and within a decade each state adopted the motor fuel tax as a method of funding roads. Gas taxes used to fund roads and highways represent the users-pay/users-benefit principle of responsible taxation, whereby those bearing the cost of the tax—highway users—obtain the benefits of a well-maintained road network.

Many states today, however, divert portions of their state gas tax revenue to the state general fund and other non-highway uses, such as these:

• The largest and most common diversions, found in 20 states, are those to transit and active transportation (pedestrian and bicycle projects). New York and New Jersey, for example, allocate over a third of their respective motor fuel tax (MFT) revenue to transit.
• Ten states divert a portion of their gas tax revenue to law enforcement and safety services, marking the second most common diversion.
• Though less frequent, diversions to education tend to be substantial, accounting for 25.9% and 24.7% of gas tax revenue in Michigan and Texas respectively.
• Other states divert gas tax revenue to tourism, environmental programs and administrative costs. In total, 22 states divert over 1% of their gas tax revenue.

By violating the users-pay/users-benefit principle, diversion poses both immediate and long-term threats to transportation funding. Diversions can leave roads and highways underfunded.

The 10 states diverting the largest percentage of their gas tax money: New York diverts 37.5% of its gas tax revenue, Rhode Island diverts 37.1%, New Jersey and Michigan divert 33.9%, Maryland diverts 32.5%, Connecticut diverts 27%, Texas diverts 24%, Massachusetts diverts 23.9%, Florida diverts 13.6% and Vermont diverts 13.2%.

ICE is a gang of thugs who are being used to harass and intimidate American citizens.

Foreign-born American citizens who uphold the terms of their naturalization are at no threat from ICE.

American citizens who don't fuck with law enforcement are at no threat from ICE.

Illegal aliens who leave the USA on their own are at no threat from ICE.

Merely disbanding them is the moderate position.

It's always entertaining when people who shit themselves at the mere mention of a firearm threaten to attack armed men who are proficient in the use of firearms.

That's how Renee Good became Renee Good And Dead.

Illegal aliens who leave the USA

just like in Men in Black, umh-hmm.

It was just floated as an idea to sabotage the construction of high-speed rail in California.

High Speed Rail in California was originally proposed by a French consortium that wanted to build a direct route from San Francisco to LA mostly along the Interstate 5 alignment which is mostly state-owned land. That route would go up and over the Grapevine with little to no tunneling and then direct to Union Station. The trip was supposed to take 90 minutes.

The French proposed to build it at their own expense and then operate it for fifty years before handing it over to the state. Had it been approved the French would have had it running around 2010.

The dimwits in Sacramento shitcanned that idea and then came up with their gerrymandered Toonerville Trolley that makes a number of route deviations onto land owned by Democrat grifters like Nancy Pelosi. The route pointlessly deviates into the high desert and then requires some forty miles of tunnels to reach Union Station. The projected cost now exceeds $140 billion and there is no official projected date for completing SF-LA service but at least one CAHSR internal projection broached 2080 as a potential completion date. The four hour to possibly five hour trip (including numerous stops) makes flying a time-saving alternative.

If you want to talk about who's sabotaging HSR it's California Democrats who think they can build a railroad better than one of the most experienced outfits in the world.

Speaking of California HSR:

https://hsr.ca.gov/about/funding/

"Our funding sources include Cap-and-Trade funding, Proposition 1A, as well as federal grants."

And where does Cap and Trade get their money from?

California's cap-and-trade program, which began applying to transportation fuels in 2015, functions as a significant cost driver in the price of gasoline and diesel, effectively acting as a backdoor tax on consumers. Fuel suppliers covered under the program must purchase allowances to offset greenhouse gas emissions from fuel combustion, and these compliance costs are typically passed on to consumers as part of the fuel price. As of recent estimates, the cap-and-trade program adds approximately 23 to 30 cents per gallon to gasoline prices in California.

people like you should be deported.

Deport all cats back to Africa!

(Pretty sure that's where they came from. A friend of mine once had an African jungle cat, which is to a housecat as a wolf to a dog.)

 

[Wilson23]

You keep forgetting.. I am Danish, and next month my country.. And other Scandic counties are going to be filled to the brim with Kattekonger and Kattedronninger (king of cats and queen of cats).



Google it for yourself.

Donald! This is your chance! Invade Denmark while they're all drunk!

 

[Wilson23]

Highways are mass transit. Also, without funding from fuel taxes there won't be any money left to subsidize bus or rail transit.



Agreed. Get rid of the Border Patrol and ICE and have the military patrol the borders and deal with criminal invaders. No more deportations because no one will get past the heavily armed men securing the border. This is how Mexico secures their southern border.

That's not a long border. The kind of border control you're talking about works between North and South Korea, but that's not a long border either.

Donald! This is your chance! Invade Denmark while they're all drunk!

Drunk on sugar and pastries?!

Why not, if it works then it works.
