People who are mentally ill have trouble putting together complicated actions like commiting a crime. Simply by demonstrating the cognitive skills to pull off a crime means they are not actually ill.
Support from NY; this woman has BRAINS and SENSE, unlike most of our elected officials 😎👍🏻
Of course bans don't actually prevent anyone from having assault weapons. What it does is increase the length of prison time if you're convicted of illegally utilizing assault weapons.
WOW Alaska hit the mother load with her!!! Smart and direct to the point! Love it!
Warren Buffett is the biggest investor in railways and also one of the largest Democratic donors. That means they’re not getting their sick leave.
I'm with Mary 👍
Workers have more power than they think. People are just afraid to exercise that power because they'll just lose their job and many just can't do that. So they are stuck.
But,company wide walk outs for weeks would sure solve it. 14 days of absolutely no one going to work,it would change things real fast.
No gas,no grocers being sold,no goods moved. Everything stops. Everything.
Give them six weeks sick leave, not seven days!
Only 8 Democrats supported the rail workers. EIGHT TOTAL. Our system is broken.
I can't believe a Democrat actually doing something right
Thank you my congresswoman for staying the course. I encourage you to hold strong with the unions. To support the second amendment. Mental health is the greatest tragedy in our country at this time. Since Ronald Reagan ended mental health inpatient residence otherwise know as insane asylums. They are living on the streets, filling our jails, and getting elected in our political offices. Presidents John Kennedy and Jimmy Carter tried in vain to federally fund and oversee mental institutions. Taking responsibility away from the states. Making funding equal. health standards equal. Eliminating the tortures Reagan so loudly proclaimed was happening. This required federal funding. Funding that republicans hate with every cell in their being. We know what happened to Kennedy. President Reagan first action was to undo whatever Kennedy, and Carter initiated. for mental health institutions. Our country has suffered greatly ever since.
Weabouta have dibs on FREE RAIL FREIGHT people…. LMAO
My dibs are on the Amazon box cars at Utica. 😀
How absurd of Biden and he is setting a precedent of a worker’s right to strike only when a strike furthers another aim and not about the dignity for workers. The lock downs did more damage to the economy than a rail strike would…give them the free time they need to do what they need or want.
Flash Back!!!! At first I thought since she was a Democrat, she would not have anything worth listening to….. WELL I WAS WRONG… She actually was not a hate america Democrat. Refreshing to hear someone from the QUOTE The Other Side of the Fence speaking like this……. The Marxist Socialist Democrats will be attacking her real soon. Hope she has thick skin…
BAN the bullets or make them so expensive NOBODY would buy them. Also buy back programs has proven to work. If there's a will, there's a way. Other countries have successfully done it.
She is WRONG on guns. Make it HARDER for people to get these assault weapons or ban them.
#UNIONSTRONG
Is it true that after clashing with Congress woman Peltola, Biden offered to sale Alaska back to Russia ? J/K
OMG, it's been at least 6 years since we've heard civilized and sensible debate over POLICY that impact Americans and not just MAGA bullsh*t.
Again the fact that the rail corps are making billions in profit is just left out of the conversation
#STRiKe #BaiLonRaiLz
Biden lied for midterm elections. This was supposedly avoided. He lied to the unions that backed him also. All at a time when we supposedly have diesel shortage for trucking and fuel prices sky high. Now he throws it to congress as they are responsible. They will force these workers if they don’t stand firm.
Shes right
Very impressive
Let the union workers have their fricking paid sick days! So frustrating, so stupid.
Holy crap, she seems sane and that’s refreshing for modern politics.
Once again, they tie the hands of the working man from putting up a fair fight.
A dem that makes sense what do you know.
I suspect that Biden might be right on this one, but I still like this woman. The Congress needs more people like her.
So sick of this ridiculous gobbledy goop double speak argument that, "You can't only focus on guns, you have to also focus on mental health," and then using that statement as a reason to be against addressing guns. Stupid. You need both. Start somewhere. Starting with guns is fine. Starting with mental health is fine. Second amendment supporters are not honest. They gaslight.
Why isn't sick days a human right?
Except for the last part where she says he is a good leader. Hu bites
She can’t be a democrat she makes sense
How wreaked is the US that they can’t afford to pay sick leave…, it’s merely cultural..
most every developed nation has paid sick leave..
I am a conservative and I loved everything Ms. Peltola said about workers rights, drilling on the north slope, and the 2nd amendment but she kind of lost me saying Biden is a great leader.
Experts include me:
Now is the time for germany to provide Ukraine with Leopard 2 tanks! Hahaha US also should quickly send F-16 & Grey Eagle drone!
Listen Carefully!
US mulls sending Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine! Hahaha so too late man!
US is still afraid of Putin's threat? Coward!
N O A S S A U L T W E A P O N S N O E X C E P T I O N S ! N O A S S A U L T W E A P O N S N O E X C E P T I O N S !
Peaceful Americans are sick of gun violence. This woman talks about mental health and is clearly fine with the mentally ill having access to assault weapons. Total denialism. Liars all of them. Everyone of'em that talks up this horsesh*t angle. BACKGROUND CHECK FOR EVERY FIREARM SOLD ! AND IF THAT WEAPON GETS LOOSE…. IT'S ON YOU!!!!
Looks like Peltola is centrist being pro union but pro pretuleum and guns
Sick time makes sense for someone like me who never misses work and would only use it when necessary.
Americans are full of it when it comes to sick time. My coworkers call in “sick” every week.
GOOD JOB, LADY. Support the Workers, yall.
even though she is a democrat I think Mary Pelota is about the people…. Biden doesn't give a crap about them and his big solution to this problem a while ago was only geared to make sure there wasn't a strike before midterms .. not for the rail workers.
How stupid are we when this kind of person is elected. She thinks that, crooked, touchy-feely, lying joe has been a good president. She is totally out of her mind.
Wow, she gets it and I’m a fan a fan of Mary.
This i
This is a very important issue.
However, without the rail system, we’ll have more stress on our economy. Prices will go up….again. Be careful what you wish for.
