Impeachment Hearings make its way to talkin' Amtrak
Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Wed Oct 16 11:42:05 2019 Hunter Biden pointed to his previous seat on the Amtrak board of directors as justification for his position with a Ukrainian gas company — but that argument is reportedly very thin. Biden’s only qualification for joining Amtrak was that he was a frequent passenger on trains, according to remarks made at the time in the Senate Commerce Committee. when Biden was appointed to Amtrak, Democratic Delaware Sen. Tom Carper couldn’t provide a ringing endorsement for the decision. Although Carper, who was a close colleague of the then-senior Democratic senator from Delaware, Joe Biden, supported the appointment but he could only cite Hunter Biden’s fondness for train travel as a reason for him advising Amtrak. Speaking to the Senate Commerce Committee, Carper allowed that Biden might be an “excellent addition” to the board, but wouldn’t elaborate as to why. “More significantly, Hunter has spent a lot of time on Amtrak trains,” Carper said after listing schools Biden attended. “Like his father, Rep. Mike Castle and myself, Hunter Biden has lived in Delaware while using Amtrak to commute to his job in Washington, D.C.” “You learn a lot about what works and what could work better at Amtrak by riding those trains,” Carper said. ********* If that's what it takes, we have people here who would be more qualified than riding one line between two cities for a National System.

Meanwhile no one comments nor cares that Amtrak gets dismantled because it's run by cronies and crooks.

This is exactly why I propose eliminating all federal funding of Highways, healthcare, education, housing and welfare. These are exclusively state issues. Of course I would also zero out almost all federal taxes. If your state wants to be a socialist state, have at it, just don't come looking to us to bail you out. ROAR

Really, what sort of suffering did We have, that didn't already exist? Auto? Banks? Health insurance? All that stuff went on during Bush, and meltdown during Obama. If He and Congress didn't step in.. then you can say shit would have been really jacked. However, what exactly did your boy do since stealing the Presidency? Give himself, and his buddies a "tax cut" thats propped up on the middle class and poor people. What else has he done? Try to get a fucking Wall built...throw inferstructure at us... while doing nothing about it? Let's face it. This guy is a Do Nothing.. with no intentions of doing anything.

It's a political hack piece with no legs.

Sounds like the lie made truth. More white folks on "food stamps" than EVER, and I thought Trump' said there were more jobs than ever before! So which is it? Jobs or No jobs? All these "Affordable houses" being built,yet there is "Record homelessness"? Thought we were doing so well..

I don't have any experience riding the system to know how great it is or not though. All the growth is in the South and the Sunbelt. This is the worst served region of Amtrak. Biden's nepotism and cronies don't seem to be restoring service, and in fact, so many large cities don't even have a friggin train. At least someone had a brain in South Florida to build a nice looking railroad. The email listserv has some cool promotions and stuff. Kinda like a real company! Alabama has dusted off plans from the 1970's. They'll probably turn it into an empty rail trail like they did in Tampa Bay first. I wouldn't hold my breath, and it ain't happening at any level of gov't.

Socialist this or that. I seriously wish you people would find another catch phrase. And it's funny as heck to watch supposed Intelligent people toss around corporate flag-waving mantra that a blind person can drive a truck through. Capitalism is good for business.. Socialist bad. Yet, take a look at those Baltic countries you guys love so much. They seem to work just fine for using both. Why is that?

FDR's New Deal is a blatant example of necessary socialism. But nobody would ever know if there would be any long term negative effects of that thanks to WWII. It was all good at the time. But realistically, WWII put Americans back to work so then the New Deal didn't matter much anymore.

Never mind the blatant links between FDR's cabinet and the USSR.

If you can find anyone who lived thru the depression (& still on FDR's mandated Social Security), I'm sure they would disagree with you. If the deceased could talk,( like my parents) I'm sure they'd join in. Never heard anything like that in History class. ."...the blatant links between FDR's cabinet and the USSR." Never heard anything like that in History class either. Anyway, even if there was a speck of truth to that, what would that have to do with somebody getting a job, say in the TVA or the WPA? . If you can quote me a credible source for that, I'd be happy to read it.

But once you start talking about what you didn't learn in public school history class, it runs off the rails. Eight minutes of PBS alone, or a quarter of a book should leave you feeling betrayed at what those crooks in public school considered an education.
