“The Left are fueled by hatred and deceit, not love. They know Biden is destroying America, but they are so conditioned to hate Trump and his supporters, they don’t care if Biden starts WW3.”
Yes but I have a hard time believing it is half of ALL Americans and that is why they are bringing in all these illegals. That is the only way to keep control and it looks like they might do it. :-(
Groovy,Dolly.
Haven’t heard that one in a very long time.
I like how when I post something and then go back to the comments, I keep seeing that wonderful picture of Trump. I am glad you found it.
What a great theme, maybe we can have Trump Train movie nights. We can watch the same movie, making comments like we do at rallies.

Do you want to go ahead and post about people and picking specialties? I’m sorry I just took cold medicine and I can’t remember exactly what it was about.
i took another covid test, I can’t believe this is a regular flu. It was negative and Cadbury had a great time playing with the little rectangular plastic thing. At least it served some purpose. I made my usual pasta sauce with ground beef and tomatoes for dinner. I couldn’t taste a thing. I had my husband smell my spices because I thought all of them went bad. I just kept shaking it into the pasta sauce, and it never got any flavor. Apparently it did though, he said it was quite intense. This will be a really good excuse to send him out for dinners. But maybe it won’t be that great if I can’t taste them.
“I wish it was 2024 and Trump is President elect”
Maybe that’s what I was thinking when I put the wrong year! Yeah, I’ll use that one.
It's a dirty thankless job, but somebody's gotta' do it!
A conductor (North American English) or guard (Commonwealth English) is a train crew member responsible for operational and safety duties that do not involve actual operation of the train/locomotive. The conductor title is most common in North American railway operations, but the role is common worldwide under various job titles. In Commonwealth English, a conductor is also known as guard or train manager.[1]
The responsibilities of a conductor or guard typically include the following:
Ensuring that the train follows applicable safety rules and practices
Making sure that the train stays on schedule starting from the stations
Opening and closing power operated doors
Selling and checking tickets, and other customer service duties
Ensuring that any cars and cargo are picked up and dropped off properly
Completing en-route paperwork
Directing the train's movement while operating in reverse
Coupling or uncoupling cars
Assisting with the setting out or picking up of rolling stock
Some rapid transit systems employ conductors to make announcements and open and close doors, duties otherwise performed by engineers. The conductor often stays in the center of the train where they can best view the platform. While advances in automation allow most transit systems to use one person train operation (OPTO), a few, such as the New York City Subway, Toronto Transit Commission and Sydney Trains continue to employ conductors.
Conductor is also a crew member in some bus, trolleybus or tram operations.
lol!
I was wondering where you were, I thought maybe you couldn’t find us!
Other duties carried out by the conductor include:
Jointly coordinate with the engineer and dispatcher the train’s movement authority, and verifying this authority is not exceeded
Communicate and coordinate with other parties—yardmasters, trainmasters, dispatchers, on board service personnel, etc.
Be alert to wayside signals, switch position, and other conditions that affect safe train movement
Mechanically inspect rolling stock
Assist the engineer in testing the train’s air brakes
Signal the engineer when to start or stop moving
Keep a log of the journey
Check tickets and collect fares on passenger trains
Keep records of consignment notes and waybills
Direct, coordinate, and usually manually perform, shunting or switching

And the slaves states were all.......Democrats.
Thank you spunky, I can’t remember where I found it but I’m sure I stole it from somebody. My regret is I didn’t make it bigger!
Thank you, CB.
“Assist the engineer in testing the train’s air brakes

I’d rather be the engineer. I have a degree in metallurgical engineering, that should be useful, right? LOL
I think I get to wear striped clothing and a cute little hat too.
You’re welcome, glad you made it!
Hey CottonBall! Looks like you have your work cut out for you.
The motto from the enlisted cadre in the military is... never volunteer for anything.
Anecdotal story: My uncle was in the Army and he told me a story about a drill instructor that asked for a show of hands from anyone who had a driver’s license.
Several hands shot up. Those raising their hands were asked to form up separate from the rest of the soldiers. Then, each man was assigned a wheelbarrow, and they proceeded to a location where they unloaded a railroad car of cement bags. LOL.
Thanks for the ping!
