Contrary to what the other comments are saying, there's no compelling reason why goods transport by train can't be done here when it can be done elsewhere. It was done in the past but then we started spending billions to subsidise trucks and passed a variety of laws to benefit road transport. Plus allowing the taxpayer to cover the cost of road wear caused by trucks which totals more billions per year.

So in the end it was a pure policy decision - in the 1950s various lobby groups pushed for the introduction of laws to favor road transport over rail transport and in 1957 the first laws were passed. The rest is history.

Maybe not the impeachment but if any of the accusations are based on reports to police (or the FBI) then "making a false report" to police is a crime and that could be prosecuted.

But still... you're burning hydrocarbons so you end up producing a lot of CO2 which is going straight into the atmosphere. That's not what I'd call super green.

Also there's literally a scene in the Bible where god turns water into wine for his disciples. Why would he do that if it was a bad thing?

They developed their own vaccine but it was a bit of a dud.

It's the last gasp of the TV industry. An industry which doesn't know how to adapt to changing times and keeps vomiting out the same crap year after year despite the fact that less and less people are watching. It won't be long before the TV networks are a footnote in history.

There's a distinction between being cautious and always being at fault. Of course you should always be extra cautious as a rider, but that doesn't mean it's your fault if a car flattens you.

NIxon is often quoted. But maybe you're right and Americans really do regard him as the worst ever.
