Your views, thoughts or simply opinions. The Economy is not well (understatement). I know there are some here that will try to link the country they are residing in as problems of the USA. Sorry the USA cannot be responsible for 100% of the problems in the world nor should they be expected to help repair all problems.
Haven't you heard the saying ,"keep your friends close and your enemy's closer"
She has some screws wallered out for sure, I am glad she is not a democrat or she would be our next president .She is exactly the type person democrats love if she was only saying what THEY want to hear
I don't think it is dormant. More like a hive of angry Japanese hornets. The hive is being shaken, and I don't think the results are going to be pleasant.
I understand.. Dormant as in being they say you have freedom but it is far from that. You can't protest the education format for if you are a parent and concerned you are considered a terrorist. Transgenders are suppressing real women in sports, Biden cheated in the election overtaking our constitution with coup-de-etah. Even though it was a coup back in 1963 is being reinforced. For the moment we are not under constitutional rule because of invasion. Illegal pimps and drug cartels are pouring in killing americans. The country is being invaded but more in blue areas than red but our gas prices here in florida have cracked 3.50 and food prices are forget it. Our children are being poisened with hatred and we have no national sovereignty. I knew this was going to happened but the stupidity of the liberals have once again fucked this whole thing up.. As long as the elections are tainted this country is OVER...
You must be blind,his company shipped truck loads of drinking water for the people.What has biden shipped there beside a man that took time off to have a baby!
It's Trump's deregulation that cause the whole thing.
And now your happy he brings an alternative for their poisoned drinking water?
How about regulations for good brakes and an a government who allows the EPA making sure people aren't poisoned?
The brake system that Trumps changes affected would not have been used on this train. I read that in plain english a little over a week ago.
Oh here it is,
"However, even if this safety rule had still been in effect, it would not have applied to the Norfolk Southern train that derailed in East Palestine, because it was not categorized as a high-hazard cargo train.""
Although the Norfolk Southern train contained hazardous materials, including vinyl chloride, it did not meet the Department of Transportation’s narrow definition of a high-hazard flammable unit train in that it didn’t have at least 70 cars containing flammable materials, such as crude oil or ethanol. The chemicals it was carrying fall into a different classification not included in this definition."

With all that said and copy pasted, I must admit,it didn't take 70 cars to make this big mess. Perhaps some changes are in order.But to expect the railroad to make changes that will cost them money, you are barking up a very tall tree, them bastards own what little of this country is not owned by china.
If that is true, why would Trump relaxed regulations on brakes of the most dangerous trains running through your country? Is it not important? This is now technically not an issue, to you, but Trump deregulated many more safety and environmental protections. And he gutted the EPA, that is necessary to enforce the few regulations that he left intact. You yourself are claiming that Biden is causing crime, but you have no arguments to show HOW. Trump is causing corporate crimes. Corporations will put you in danger and poison you, if it allows them to make more profits. They are allowed to do it and not getting punished for violating the few rules that are left.
Maybe this particular incident might not be directly his fault, maybe, but his actions will cause incidents and pollution in the future and the people who will be confronted with it will have no leg to stand on, because those regulations he relaxed are also relaxing liability.
You also didn't want Biden to investment in infrastructure, but the decrepit state that your rail is in might show you how infrastructure investments are very necessary.
If it's not railroads that will cause the next incident, it could be a bridge or a viaduct next time, like happened in Italy.

It's a miracle that it hasn't happened yet, because your infrastructure is in only a bit better state than that of Italy.

Our rail system is privately owned, as in the land the rails are sitting on. There fore there is no avenue for tax dollars to enter into the equation unless it is a loan. They are self governed ,self policed, You are considered a trespasser just being in your car crossing their tracks. You have No rights to place blame on the railroad for your harm or death. You are a trespasser if anything happens. Google it.
THat is 1 of the problems dealing with the rail road .Somehow, they have managed to be mighter than the government in many aspects. The Epa against the railroad, especially at the moment with bidens picks in office, is like a panda bear going against a Great white shark. a no match, no win situation.
That damn union, has the rail workers so fucking lazy and so over paid it is sickning. If you ever go on vacation here in the states, find a section of the country where the rail road is doing maintance and just sit back and WATCH how lazy those people are. And unless you like being offended,don't interact with the workers,most are JURKS.
Yes, exactly, you're addressing the root cause of all the problems:
they are privately owned.
In 2005, our government semi-privatized our rail system and created ProRail.
It didn't make our railroad transport any better, that's for sure.
only registered users can see external links
Like you have people who are against abortion, calling themselves PRO-life,
we have people who are AGAINST TRAINS, calling themselves PRO-rail.
That was a joke on national television.
Well I am not really after the government "running" the railroad,just if they are going to do anything,put the citizens safety and such over the railroad by slowing down trains so people can get out of the way, fix crossings so trucks and stuff don't hang up on them and get killed and so on. Government can't run a whore house right,so I doubt they could run a rail road.
Note it says,the whore house was run by a appointee but duh,who did the appointee work for?

"if they are going to do anything,put the citizens safety and such over the railroad"
Regulations? To protect people? What a novel idea.
"by slowing down trains so people can get out of the way"
How slow do trains need to go, to move your house when it poisons your neighborhood?
"fix crossings so trucks and stuff don't hang up on them"
Investments in infrastructure? Should the government pay for them?
"Government can't run a whore house right"
Every public facility that is privately owned in the US, but publicly owned in other modern countries, is so much worse in quality/price and equal access in the US, that people who know better are feeling sorry for you.
But you are saying something interesting; government owned whorehouses.
Good idea. I think the working position of the women, safety and health would be better. I think there would be less human trafficking and other crime involved.
Where ever it's legalized, taxed and regulated, it's much safer than where it's criminalized, but us lefties should not sit on our laurels.
Privately owned companies should stay private and the government should keep their noses out of it unless a law has been broken. Why the hell should we follow socialism or the Netherlands. hell we can see they're mistake. Well maybe the libs cannot, but that is expected. Come on ananas2xlekker you can do better than that.
"unless a law has been broken"
Was a law broken in this case?
Biden is getting blamed by right-wingers over what happened to Palestine Ohio.
Why? Isn't this a privately owned company that Biden should not mess with?
So, how are you going to prevent the next train full of poison derailing?
I know, solutions right? You don't do solutions.
"Why the hell should we follow socialism or the Netherlands. hell we can see they're mistake."
We didn't have a train full of poison derail. What are you talking about?
Your postal service was intentionally harmed by Trump, by appointing US postmaster Louis DeJoy. His only job was and still is to destroy your postal service and make it fully privatized, because Trump didn't want those mail in ballots.
Mostly correct, only issue is that they want everything privatized so they can create their true narcissitic dream. Only issue with that is that they will murder us all in the process. Who shall worship their fragile egos then?
Impuslivity is necessary to be diagnosed with narcissism, yet psychologists ignore this crucial fact and leave it for only the poor, tortured borderlines.
Lefties discuss how Malania is feeling about her husband getting indicted
over illegally paying of the porn-star that he had sex with.
only registered users can see external links
It sounds like she's putting her fingers in her ears and she goes 'Lalalalala'.
What do your 'family values' tell you she should do in this case?
Should she divorce his cheating ass or should she be supportive of her husband,
who's going through troubling times?
Stormy signed papers saying the "affair" never happened in 2018, so Melania has not got to do anything different. Besides, how many women have the chance that she did and still does? A female immigrant, a legal 1 , makes it all the way to the White House!
So Trump didn't fuck Stormy, because she signed Trump's piece of paper?
Does he hand out these papers to sign, to all porn-stars?
Maybe you believe that farce, but I'm sure Melania doesn't.
What chance did she get? Be a trophy wife for a rich asshole?
She made it to the White House? It's not like people voted for her.
The first lady doesn't have any power. Maybe if she has good idea's
she can influence her husband a bit, but it was all to clear that Trump
doesn't listen to Melania at all. He hardly thinks of her as human.
And seeing how Melania looks at him, I'm sure he looks subhuman to her.
It's crazy that she hasn't divorced him yet. But I have no sympathy for her.
Everything I ever heard her say, makes her just as horrible as Trump.
But you show your family values very clear; a woman's only goal in life
should be to marry a rich and powerful man, and support that man
in whatever he does, even if it is fucking other women.
That's pre-1920's ideology. Is that what you call MAGA?
No no woman should support her husband cheating. BUT Stormy said it didn't happen so again, no issue for his wife .Besides, didn't Lorana Bobbit teach you how women deal with abusive or cheating husbands? Bob off the problem appendage!
And uh before you go kicking the 20's,
Tell me how many mass shootings we had in the US during the 20's?
Tell me how many suicides we had in the 20's
Until 1929.
Tell me how many divorces and broken homes we had in the 20's.
Something you MIGHT see is the numbers were LESS! MUCH LESS.
Gee I wonder why?
People were raised with morals and common sense.
He was just calling them out for being hypocrites, for complaining that he took
his husband with him on a presidential delegation, while many politicians before him have taken their spouse on such a trip, just like he did, and they've never complained about that before. But you probably gave your opinion without even watching the video.
Is it 'woke BS' that he is gay and has a husband?
Or is it 'woke BS' that he has the same rights as other married people then?
-You have to realize that MOST of the civilized world does not approve of what bootigeg is or how he lives ,thus they do not respect him or his positions or his work or anything else because of his lifestyle. A large number of Americans don't either. The point is there is no logical gain in sending someone that does not garner respect of our allies or enemy's to a meeting to try to conduct business.
Our enemy's and allies alike are laughing at a man in a suit taking maternity leave during a critical time in US history and he can't even give birth.
Or maybe your part of the world isn't as civilized as you think.
In most of Europe, the overwhelming majority of people approve of gay people and them living openly gay. Even the small minorities that used to have religious reasons to not approve of gay people, are more accepting of them now, when they come to live in their neighborhood, when they work as colleagues or when they become part of their family.
I'm talking about a population of more than your 330 million people, who in Europe accept gay people. Sometimes the law is lagging behind people's opinions, but even gay marriage is getting legalized in more and more countries.

The Netherlands is not even the most liberal when it comes to LGBT rights,
but it's still normalized as much as can be. When it comes up in a conversation that a person is gay, the reaction is just 'Oh, OK' and everything associated with that is no surprise then anymore. Any further conversation about living situations, marriage, children and parenting would take into account that they are gay and might be a little bit more complicated, but would be as mundane as any conversation about living situations, marriage, children and parenting with a straight couple.
What is so funny about a gay couple taking care of their new born twins?
Of course they cannot breast-feed. It's ridiculous how all the right-wing media is still recycling jokes about that. Those babies still need to be fed, don't they?
Do you know how many women are not breastfeeding? Your breastfeeding percentages are lower than in Europe. That's mostly because your parental leave sucks. The Democrats support improving your parental leave rights and gay rights, so it's only reasonable that Buttigieg got it.
Are Republicans still pretending to be the 'family values party'?
How about giving new parents time to care for their newborns then?
What's not 'family values' about that?
There was NO MOTHER in boolegs situation to take care of the babies breast feeding. And what could he possibly do besides get out of work during a terrible time in our Transporation industry ,you know, the industry that he accepted the job to look after? If he wanted to play mommy, he should've stayed home and let someone else do the job at hand in DC.
No, I get it, he and his husband took care of the babies, no mother.
It's actually more difficult to bottle feed than just present a tit.
"If he wanted to play mommy, he should've stayed home and let someone else do the job at hand in DC."
It's not the parents who should worry about work, it's up to the employers to provide temporary replacements. I would even support that for the president.
A married couple, be it a normal man-woman or 2 of the same, should decide if they are going to work and be successful people or parents and 1 should be at home to care for the kids until the kids are at least going to grade school, then after school care for a couple hours is not that costly or detrimental to the kids well being.
And there is the work at home option for 1 of the parents as well to help make house payments and still be there for the kids.
That's your opinion. Democrats think that parenthood should be stimulated, so most of them support at least some government support, in the form of subsidized childcare and forcing employers to provide pregnancy and maternity leave. Pregnancy leave is of course not necessary for a male gay couple, but if they had a surrogate mother who immediately gives away the baby, that gay people has to provide the exact same care as any straight or lesbian couple. Most people think that parents should get maternity leave, even in the US. It shouldn't be any different for gay couples.
I understand that you fully endorse the own responsibility principle, where the government provides nothing and doesn't force employers to provide anything. I just don't understand why. Is it just because you want to pay the lowest taxes?
And even though that's your opinion, the large majority of people don't agree with you. Do you at least support democracy providing what the people want?
Many people don't work for an employer that provides a work at home option.
That's actually only reserved for a lucky few. How about forcing employers to provide it?
You think it's always a choice to become successful in life. It's not.
Some people are just unlucky. I think unlucky people have a right to be happy too.
And it's not always a choice to have kids, especially now your side abolished abortion. If you provide no help to people who didn't became parents by choice, you are just creating the poor people and criminals of the future. If you think that's MAGA, you have a strange idea of what's making America great.
Well if you look at how America was designed and the constitution was written, Everyone here has access to education,paid for by tax dollars, everyone has access to public roads they can use.
If a person is born in a bad place, where is the fence that holds them there? Why is it that they can't look out their window and see a better world and do SOMETHING to be a part of it, instead of just sitting there, with the "i am poor, I am a victim, I deserve a free ride" and so on mindset?
If you look at how America was designed and the constitution was written, you would come to a conclusion that the US is now lacking a lot of public facilities, providing equal opportunities. Education is only provided free for kindergarten through grade 12 in high school. After that, it's very expensive and not affordable for a lot of people.
It's not just the place where you are born, it's also your parents' money and your mental and physical ability or disabilities. It's not fair to your fellow Americans accusing them of a victim complex. Nowhere in the modern world are people working harder and longer than in the US.
The overwhelming majority lives in the deep South of the US. They are a bunch of tight assed hypocrites. Most people in US are, if not approving, at least have an attitude of live and let live. Only the far right is bringing this to the political scene and from watching a lot of foreign (to me) films and TV shows, the rest of the world is the same.
