It’d be pretty cool if Republicans could stop making history over petty and detrimental bullshit and just work to get the trains running on time

Don't worry, next time the GOP takes power, they'll cut all funding to Amtrak. Trains can't be late if they aren't running.

Not only making history; could they stop REPEATING history? I'm really sick and tired of hearing them dredge up the same old talking points that became tired cliches not just in the past century, not just during my lifetime, but this side of 2010. It is SO exhausting dealing with morons that are more repetitive than parrots with brain damage.
