Minnesota has two democrat senators. Al Franken retiring didn't lose anyone a seat. This guy should give up his seat so we can elect someone who isn't sexually harassing people.

This sounds about right, and very familiar.

20% across the board. I've worked in restaurants for 6 years (so I am absolutely biased.) Even when customers pickup the people making $2.83/hr are usually packing up the food, and ensuring that the order is correct. In many cases this takes time away from helping out customers dining in, and makes the night more stressful.

Considering they are blowing $1.9 billion on the southern beltway roads outside of Pittsburgh, 2.5 billion sounds inexpensive.

I recently learned that the pennsylvania state police are a result of the homestead strike in Pittsburgh in 1892. Carnegie and other robber barons of the time hired pinkertons to break the strike, and those same pinkertons later became the state police.

Typical Ram 1500 driver showing that they buy the truck because it has the biggest number on it. Those trucks are such a drag on society and we'd be better off without them.

Someone did that behind me at like 55 moh yesterday. I was shocked at first, but then realized that was the only way over there.

Reply to comment by Bobbyroberts123 in Pennsylvania earned an overall C-minus for infrastructure in the latest report card issued by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Statewide transit received a “D,” which did not seem to surprise SEPTA’s general manager. by PienotPi
Local roads suck because municipalities refuse to pay for them. The state didn't create that problem. Most of the state roads have gotten much better the last few years. Pittsburgh needs to bring back its trolley system if it's really going to grow, and Philadelphia needs to quit being shafted by the counties around it to secure proper funding for septa.

The entire history of our country suggests that you are incorrect. We've been letting in millions of immigrants since the country started. It hasn't failed us yet.

The United States has been accepting millions of immigrants since it started existing. They come from everywhere. Fuck off with your xenophobia.

I'm convinced that merging correctly, and driving the speed limit would solve pretty much all of 28's problems.

Politicians shouldn't be sexually harassing people. I don't disagree with your statement, but the least we can do is stand up for the women (and men) who are willing to stand up for themselves. It's our duty as informed citizens to call politicians on their bullshit regardless of party.
