The republicans were licking their chops over the idea of a railroad strike.

Too bad so sad tough ass to those bastards.

1. Anything that hurts America while a Democrat is President

gives them a boner. They only love America when their leader is in power.

[SergeStorms]

11. They love America....

to the extent of what America can do for them, not how much they can serve America and its people.

[RAB910]

2. they are ONLY happy when Americans are hurting or miserable

[Turbineguy]

3. Yeah, a chance for people to suffer

is always a good thing to republicans. Plus, they get to blame the unions!

[GoCubsGo]

15. They love anything that will go toward destroying this country.

A rail strike would have been catastrophic for the economy--which would benefit them in the mid-terms. They know Biden and the Dems would be blamed unfairly for the economic fallout. What a bunch of sick fucks they are.

4. You know it!

The backdrop was all set up with intended stalled trains behind. All the media whores were lined up.

National broadcast news made it their lead story one day (gotta amp the drama), and then Biden stpped in and it was several stories into the broadcast the next day. I saw real-time bias on this by the MSM!!

7. Nothing further will be said about it and how it was avoided.

[SoCalDavidS]

10. No, I'm Sure The Liberal Media Will Have Wall To Wall Coverage

Kidding

[Chainfire]

5. How long before Fox claims that it was all staged?

[Auggie]

17. Or claim the RR workers got screwed?

[Kingofalldems]

6. And were aching to concern troll all over the internet.

Too bad!

8. A lot of copy and travel plans went into the trash

They are never gonna learn not to underestimate our president

[gratuitous]

9. Oh yes they were!

But the kvetching has seamlessly pivoted from "Biden ruined the economy by not stopping the railroad strike" to inflation concern trolling: "We all have to pay more because the workers are going to be paid more." I've had some fun at their expense asking them to explain how a prolonged national railway strike was going to bring down consumer prices. That's when the choicest name-calling rolls out, so you know you've made your point.

13. No mention of the billions of profit made by the railroad industry

By having one employee operate a 3 mile long train and not allowing the operator to be significantly rested before they have to report for work again. If they make themselves unavailable they can end up being terminated, no home or family life is allowed.

12. They can still get wood over the interest rate hike next week

As Jerome Powell does all he can to tank the economy

[Grokenstein]

14. Biden's success infuriated Ben Shapiro

16. I remember when

A hurricane was going to hit Hawaii, and some ministers were already using it as God showing us that he didn't like Obama, and then it missed the islands. Same flex.

[Aussie105]

18. Republicans are the party of Doom and Gloom.

They openly wish for death and destruction to rain down on America, so they can blame any non-Republican president or politician.

End-of-world-scenario, mushroom clouds everywhere . . .

Republicans - Gleefully shout "Look at that! Biden did that!"
Democratic party voters - totally different response.

Repugs are sick people, in short.

[Blue Owl]

19. Well they can suck it

[The Protagonist]

20. Well, apparently it hasn't been averted after all

My personal opinion is that the Republicans are up to some dirty tricks in the background
