"presidential power is pretty much absolute and I get that"

Is there some context cut off there at the beginning, or does she really think that?

The DC 🚋 was a nice ride, and bus is only "better" insofar as DC bungled the implementation and didn't finish the line.

How much of this Vancouver thing would be street-running rail though? The photos all look like private ROWs. Never been to Vancouver, just curious.

Many probably hated him then, and were voting against the status quo because things were going badly. They did it again in 2025. They probably will do it next year too, even if the Dems are weak and unpopular.

Having only two choices leads to weird and (seemingly or actually) irrational behavior.

She probably wants his endorsement next year so she has to give him something.

Almost surprised she's not bringing badly executed cases against Trump, for stuff Trump actually did, to attach jeopardy and then drop them so he can't be prosecuted again because of double jeopardy.
