    Vermont public safety officials have issued a news release announcing that Interstate 91 at mile marker 168 is closed due to “an evolving police incident.” That location is near Newport, north of Burlington, near the Canadian border.

    I-91 doesn’t go to Burlington, it doesn’t go near it. Burlington is on the western border of the state; across the lake is New York. I-91 goes up the eastern border of the state, paralleling the Connecticut River, the boundary with New Hampshire.

    Yea Newsweek, using an image of the southern border is totally not biased in this context.

    Police incidents happen all the time. Keep your xenophobia out of a matter that Vermont can handle internally. This is so transparently formatted to be national rage bait.

      I thought you were probably right about the photo, then I saw it.

      That’s quite irresponsible, Newsweek.

        One of Newsweek’s editors, Batya Ungar-Sardin, just xhittered out that Musk’s Nazi salute wasn’t a Nazi salute. He’s totally a friend of Jews and has Aspergers.

        This will be their new ceiling, not their floor.

            It could mean you don’t understand the social implications of what you’re doing. If he is actually autistic, I could believe this, because he’s also a fucking idiot. But that doesn’t mean it’s okay, on the other hand, it’s more reason he shouldn’t be in charge of shit.
