I was having a Coffee @ Starbucks, ( Thank You, Seattle, ) Saturday AM, and reading a well-regarded Print National Newspaper.

On the Op Ed page there was this cartoon.

In the Cartoon it shows the 'Elect' shaking hands with the Outgoing in the White House.

The Elect says; "Thank You, Where are the Nuclear Codes?"

Poppies, Anyone??

But does this mean we have to walk alone like C&O for Progress/Raymond et al.?

Perhaps we will soon be treated to Euclid's dialogue with Bucky on the meanings of "locked" and "political"?

Just like this forum, members can discuss topics set forth in this Kalmbach blog format:

http://cs.trains.com/trn/b/staff/archive/2016/11/10/how-will-amtrak-infrastructure-funding-and-safety-regulation-fare-under-trump.aspx

 

Is "political" discussion banned here and allowed there?  Or is this blog discussion about what Trump will do not considered "political"?

Or how about this?

It was ok while it was about the history of voting by mail, Electoral College, etc.  But Euclid and others had to turn it political. 

 

Precisely why I stayed out of it.
