Looks like Biden is asking Congress to impose the TA onto the rail workers and avert a strike before Christmas. So much for the Democrats having our backs.

So while you may chide the Biden admin, he likely did more for the labor groups than the Orange admin would have.

Besides, the Republicans’ current talking points are all about inflation, the economy, etc. So with that in mind, what would they then say if Biden allowed the whole country to be totally shut down during a rail strike?




Agreed.
