Elections THIS is what REAL leadership looks like

[DanSavage]

It can be done without trying to hit 300 miles per hour.

Newsom's high-speed rail was only designed to go ~125mph, if, and that's a mighty big if, it ever gets finished.

Even then, it's a high-speed rail from nowhere to nowhere. (Madera - Bakersfield) IOW, a boondoggle.

Amtrak and Metrolink commuter trains typically achieve speeds of ~80mph between stops.

I commuted on these between So. Orange County and North Hollywood/Burbank for a couple of years.

The average speed on this route drops to ~20mph because of the 12 or so stops at various stations along the way.

The only advantage I found commuting on a train vs. driving a car is that trains are more consistent in inclement weather.

High speed rails aren’t bullet trains which go 250-350mph, per your own source

Never said they were. Re-read what I posted. My only mention of bullet trains was that they typically travel at ~220mph.

Everything else I wrote was about high-speed rail, which typically travel at 90-125mph.

@eddymotto said, “But, as the other poster pointed out, California does not have the bullet trains that all the other states have. Fact #1”

And I was contesting this “fact”

Says the person who thought Trump 2016 would be a great President because he was a "businessman".

Even I am wrong sometimes.

Gavin strike me as a sleak, shiny looking slimeball snake oil salesman. Similar to that character from The Simpson

Not sure why you replied to my later post, but my original post, to which @eddymotto replied, was in sarcasm about Newsom's high-speed rail boondoggle that has been, for almost 20 years, and still is, gobbling up taxpayer dollars without any tangible results, such as laying a single track of rail.

This point was raised to contrast the OP's assertion that Newsom was just the President America needs as he's a real leader.

Your 2028 President, Gavin Newsom, showing everyone how it's done.

He's tackling crime the CORRECT and LEGAL way

The police... NOT the military

Gov. Gavin Newsom deploying law enforcement across CA to fight crime, including Bay Area

Gov. Gavin Newsom is deploying law enforcement to several locations around California to fight crime. That includes highway patrol officers.

Say Newsome had to wait for Trump to act before he tackled crime in his own state?

Are you guys going to whine about all his shady rules to help his campaign donors like you do for Trump?
