YES, PUBLIC TRANSIT DEPENDS ON A FUNCTIONING HIGH-TRUST CIVIL SOCIETY. WHICH LEFTIES HATE AND UNDERMINE AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

All these people who love public transportation and trains and want to stick us in them could do more for their own cause by empowering police to lock up criminals and weirdos than anything else, but they’re ideologically unable to choose normal people over bad people and normal…

MARK JUDGE: Jonathan Capehart’s WaPo Hissy Fit. “Sounds pretty bad. Yet as one delves into the details of why Capehart walked, it’s Capehart himself who looks pretty bad.

No wonder Jeff Bezos is scrambling to sweep out the stables at The Washington Post.”

Sweep faster, Jeff.
