    I think the failure of Amtrack is lack of upkeep and investment in modernization. Perhaps it might be too late. I sincerely enjoyed traveling in Europe and Japan via their high railway system....

    I know we can't stop talking about Trump. We shouldn't. But when someone mentions Biden and the vaccine why to we have to harp on "well Trump rolled out the vaccine and he gets the credit"....

    It is kind of funny that when we criticize Biden some of us go back to "but Trump.....". Or when Biden is praised, some go back to "but Trump....." As I said a few days ago, I'll be glad when we...

    But yes, it would hard to admit that underneath it all while Democrats were as desperate as anyone for a vaccine, it coming out prior to the election and benefiting Trump would have been an issue....

    That's just timing and availability and really didn't have much to do with Biden in my opinion. The vaccine became more widely available to people that weren't in nursing homes or front line workers...

    Tweety replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It actually was the World Health Organization in early 2020 that stated the idea that a vaccine in 2020 wouldn't happen. Perhaps the reason Democrats echoed it was because they have more faith in...

    I stated that a couple of times before that this is my opinion on why the caravan started when Biden won the election. It could have been any Democrat winning and my feeling is that this would have...

    Biden has very early on acknowledged and thanked the Trump administration for getting the vaccine. But certainly you can understand that in April 2021 he's not going to continue to thank Trump for...

    Agree that it's doubtful we're going to see Rand Paul tout the vaccine. Senator Ron Johnson has even stated that he sees no reason for a massive vaccination. They've downplayed the need for masks,...

    It's all over the news about hesitancy and vaccinations rates falling. Is it that people have suddenly changed their mind and that people that were going to get it are now not going to? Or have we...

    My simple answer is: he's the current sitting President and I think it is indeed his job to address vaccine hesitancy. I do agree that Republican leaders might be more affective and it's their...

    Trump started the vaccine program. No one said Biden is responsible for hesitancy. The question is what is he going to do about it? There were many articles stated that he likely would address...

    Exactly, it's a more of the why and it has some undertones of fear based racism at worst (he cited the Chauvin trial), or at best continues the narrative to his base that protestors are out to burn...
