Several crew members of a ship that collided with a bridge in Baltimore almost two years ago are still being held in the US by federal authorities despite the fact that no criminal charges have been brought against them.

In the early hours of 26 March 2024, the MV Dali departed the port of Baltimore bound for Sri Lanka. While navigating the Fort McHenry channel, the 1,000ft-long Singapore-flagged cargo vessel lost power before striking the bridge. The impact resulted in the deaths of six people who were working on the bridge at the time.

    Two years

    2026 - 2 = 2024.

    No no, that’s impossible. That would have been under a President who Respects the Constitution. No way they’d just ignore the 5th amendment like this.

        Trump is worse, but we can also acknowledge that Biden was catastrophic for the trajectory of the US.

        I can’t believe Biden still thinks people give a shit what he thinks, if I were him I would disappear to an island and never talk to the press again I would be so full of shame for destroying my countries future and placing control directly in fascists lap.

          “Welcome to Joe Biden’s repair shop, where we put your car back exactly how it was 10 seconds before the wheels fell off”

            “…and then when you drive your car away from being repaired and realize it is still existentially broken we condescend you and tell you to be happy your car works at all because the other repair shop would have totally broken your car way worse!”

            “Remember folks, if we aren’t the repair shop for you and you are unhappy with the quality of work we do it is because you chose other repair shops in town in the past and forced us to become this bad so it is YOUR fault if our service fails to satisfy your basic needs!”

        Obama was kind of nice, from an outsiders perspective. He’s also still a respected man who gets invited to public speaking events.
