Oh, wow; and so are thousands and thousands of people. Your low-information point is..?

What’s dumb is your assessment that your “bomblettes” (sic) are going to somehow free fall, then fly horizontally down into the tunnels to get to the bad guys hiding in them. Why aren’t you involved with military planning?

Actually, it does. There are people on this earth who should not be. If you disagree with that, you need to go over there and try and “save” them.

“...Afghanistan is actually in a much worse state than you remember.”

Because The Root is a blog that only cares about promoting racism.

Your car (HA! Like you have one...) could kill people, so it should be forcibly confiscated from you. Plus, car ownership is not enshrined in the Constitution.

Pro-gun or anti-gun; how many of you, right now, are going to take five freaking minutes and educate your children about what to do if they come across a gun?

Okay, Stef, we’ll let you know when we run out of gas. It’ll be over 200 years from now, so you’ll be pretty damn old by then. Unless you (like all the other Chicken Littles) believed the “peak oil” myth that was first brought forth in the 1970s. Whoops, it was revised to the 1980s...Crap! Okay, the 1990s... …

As a diehard gearhead, I sincerely hope all automakers pull completely out of California, leaving you to get around via public transit until they come to their collective damn senses.

Gasp! Oh no, JORGE (no bias there): people here illegally, who have committed crimes, are going to be arrested? We’re all racists!

Hey, how about showing us all that evidence that Russia “hacked” the election? You know, show how they altered votes, committed voter fraud, etc.

They may not be able to, but I’d wipe the floor with you when it comes to debate, especially about the worst president in the history of our country, which was the previous administration.

In response to the headline: No, they won’t. This sounds like a press release or tweet that Elon Musk would make, with the predicable outcome that he’s way off the mark.

Railroads in Europe and Asia run in tiny little areas compared to this proposed project, and they have huge densities of people compared to where this proposed project will draw from.

Agreed about the eminent domain aspect.

Don’t worry; it won’t. It’s another public rail project.

As somebody who has degrees in both Physics and Mechanical Engineering, the costs of this (both construction and operation) will be 4X what they are estimating. It always is.

Why did Assad commit this most-recent war crime? Because Obama never backed up his “red line” rhetoric he previously set. If Obama had decided to enforce his red line against using chemical weapons, action would have been taken already, as Assad used them after that “red line” speech Obama gave.

There is no need for him to be there; ISIS is a JV team that has been contained. Obama said so.

Higher risk = higher premiums. There’s no mystery here.
