  • How about a dead Amtrak conductor?

    AP FACT CHECK: Biden tale of Amtrak conductor doesn’t add up

    From the article:

    “I apologize because some have heard this,” Biden told a crowd Monday in New Jersey, starting up a story he has repeated in various forms at least five times, dating back to the 2020 campaign.

    “I swear to God. True story,” he said Monday, for emphasis.

    THE FACTS: The tale as Biden spins it is wrong. Negri could not have had that conversation because he was already deceased by the time Biden logged 1.2 million miles on Air Force Two.

    It’s plausible that Biden logged 1.2 million train miles as vice president by early 2016, based on accounts around the time by Biden and David Lienemann, the vice president’s official photographer. But Negri had long retired as an Amtrak conductor, in 1993, and died in May 2014.

  • The Amtrak conductor one is pretty bad.

  • I'm sure it just thinks the acronym is for something else that's truly dangerous, and I mean that with all the sarcasm I can muster. Wild Gang Attacks, or maybe Waterproof Gazelle Assassins. Something it's protecting the public from.

  • It's tough on the roads, but less trucks (even if each one is producing slightly more CO2 than usual) would be a net decrease in CO2 overall. Drivers better be on point though, the extra momentum is nothing to play around with.
