Veteran here and I find that hard to believe. What were that 61% expecting from a draft dodger and convicted felon? And BTW, proud to be in the minority.

In Chicago a few years back he wanted to dig a rail tunnel from downtown to O'Hare Airport. There has been rail service from downtown to the airport for many years, actually two - the Blue Line "L" and a local commuter Metra line.

Amazing feat of engineering AND when Teddy Roosevelt learned of it, he had what was used in the building of the new canal and had it sent to Panama to finish that canal the French started but couldn't finish for many reasons, including malaria.

Surprised it isn't landmarked - yet, but it could use a bath and a haircut. Maybe turn on the fountain again too!

The term dive bar is demeaning Why not old neighborhood bar instead?

I'm on a crusade of sorts to get the Divvy folks to offer a senior discount on their annual membership just like Metra, CAT and Ventra do - transportation related services. So far, no luck and I don't understand why. If this comes up in your circles, please chime in with "why not" too. Thanks

There was a scene where a mom was giving a bath to her baby in the kitchen sink and the water turned red from the effects of radiation. That stuck with me to this day.
