Trump Will Be In East Palestine OH Today....And Biden Hasn't Bothered To Help Them One Bit

[otto105]

Not the whole issue......been debunked on this thread.

Highly 'jacked off' at a reporter after 5pm going to his car......bad day at the press office, said he's taking personal time......probably not in Ohio.

Debunked by who?

It’s also a Republican area. If this were a sanctuary city, the response would have been far different. People will remember that Xiden ran to Ukraine to promise that we would fund their pensions and give them even more American money.

He's a complete moron. While we voted for Trump the last two elections, he forgets our state also voted for DumBama as well. This is the final nail in the coffin for him or his party keeping this state. If he thinks he's just pissing off the people of East Palestine, he has another thing coming. He might as well save his campaign money and not bother soliciting votes in this state.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Still untrue. This was addressed earlier.
They were never implemented because the studies were inconclusive on the effectiveness of the brakes.
Besides if they were of such dire importance why did Bootyjudge not address it by now?

Looks like the left are the ones trying to cover for their unqualified diversity hire.

They are going to keep throwing that lie in our faces thinking we don't know those brake rules only applied to oil cars in effort to increase the transportation costs of fossil fuels.

During his speech, Trump—considered a leading GOP presidential candidate for 2024 despite spearheading a deadly coup attempt following his 2020 loss—criticized how President Joe Biden's administration has responded to the environmental and public health disaster unfolding in East Palestine, a poor rural town of about 4,700 people located a few miles west of the Pennsylvania border.

But as critics noted beforehand, the Trump administration's gutting of train safety rules at the behest of railroad industry lobbyists was instrumental in creating the conditions for the derailment and ensuing chemical spill and burn off, which has provoked fears of groundwater contamination and air pollution.


"Trump had been in office for less than a year when he moved to kill the 2015 rule change initiated by the Obama administration that would have required freight trains to upgrade the current braking technology that was developed in the 19th century for state-of-the-art electronic systems," wrote Bunch, who pointed out that this came after Norfolk Southern and other rail carriers donated more than $6 million to Republican candidates in 2016 and spent millions more on lobbying.

"The rule reversal wasn't the only time that Team Trump sided with Big Rail over the forgotten Americans who live on the wrong side of their tracks," he added. "In 2019, for example, the Trump administration moved to not strengthen but relax regulations on shipping fracked natural gas through communities like East Palestine. The same year, Trump's White House also killed an Obama-era proposal that would have required two crew members in freight-train locomotives."

"The Trump approach to the rail industry was to let the companies do what they wanted, which was to avoid regulations, slash jobs, and extract profit."

Look punk. You didn't set me straight. The fact remains that they tried censoring this story....and they lost control of it. The only reason they let that journalist go was because they had the video going viral all over the internet.
Even Fox News wasn't covering it up until the point that everyone was covering it. It took 2 days for Fox to even mention it after I first saw it being reported on Twitter. I thought it was a hoax until someone allowed them to say something about what was happening in Palestine.
If Trump was president you can bet your paycheck that the derailment and the uncontrolled burn would have been another Katrina level event.

Hell, I live here and the only report we got was of a train derailment carrying chemicals. No word about how much damage or the chemical being so toxic it was used as a bio weapon in WWII. Like you, we didn't find out until days later.

Are you trying to say Norfolk Southern contributed heavily to the Trump campaign?

Did the old fuckup throw the water at people?

If he did he'd be doing more than he's doing now.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

No, he's trying to say that this accident was because of a President two years out of office. You know, like they blame Reagan, a President out of office for 35 years for a disappearing middle-class. Like I said, the best part about being a Democrat is never having to say it was your fault. I defy any leftist here of Biden taking responsibility for his own actions or inactions.

[toobfreak]

Trump's admin repealed the rules. Blame your savior.

No thanks, it has already been determined that had nothing to do with this accident and I'm more interested in dealing with the facts than playing your stupid political games. The fault obviously lies with the train itself, its maintenance and operation and that of the track. This all eventually comes back onto the shoulders of Norfolk Southern, but thanks for confirming that in a crisis affecting a small town in Ohio and probably far beyond that Biden and his group of Washington mishaps will be nowhere to be found looking out for the American people, too busy trying to dream up yet another ineffectual way of trying to exploit the situation for political expediency.

But if whatever guideline Trump altered years ago was so bad, Joe's had YEARS to simply reverse it had he actually been focused on the needs of this country instead of over in eastern Europe jacking off to another MSM photo opportunity for his personal self-aggrandizement.

Yo'......just came in..........

Take the culprit rail company, Norfolk Southern, for example. Beyond joining its fellow corporations in lobbying the government to strip regulation, like the Obama-era rule that mandated train cars carrying hazardous materials (like those derailed in East Palestine) to have better brakes, Norfolk Southern has also contributed millions of dollars directly to politicians. The $55 billion company has spent nearly $80 million since 1998 on lobbying; since 1990, it has sent about $17 million directly to candidates’ coffers.
___________________________________
And the cherry on top of all this “C.R.E.A.M.”? Most lobbyists working to make these giant corporations’ profit-stealing, risk-taking pursuits easier come directly from government work. In 2022, 75 percent of Norfolk Southern’s lobbyists previously held government positions. Some of these individuals worked in the Reagan administration’s Department of Energy, in Senator Joe Manchin’s office, or as a liaison with the Blue Dog Coalition (the House caucus of centrist and conservative Democrats). Some even served in Congress themselves, like former Senators Trent Lott (Republican) and John Breaux (conservative Democrat).
_____________________________________
All this influence gives perhaps a bit more color to the government’s eagerness in December to impose a contract onto striking rail workers, whose demands included both necessary benefits for themselves and also prescient safety standards that would make trains safer for the public.

The Trump administration rolling back Obama-era regulations, and the Biden administration still not reinstating them, are pages of a larger story of a nation wedded to capital.

'He should be embarrassed': Trump haunted by his own rail safety failings as he heads to East Palestine​

Story by Sky Palma • 8h ago

Former President Donald Trump is visiting the Ohio town that was the site of a train derailment that released toxic chemicals into the surrounding environment.


According to Bloomberg, the trip is part of a strategy to capitalize on criticism of President Biden's choice to visit Ukraine before visiting the disaster area. But it's also unintentionally highlighting Trump's own failings when it came to rail safety during his presidency.

On Feb. 3, a Norfolk Southern Corp. train derailed and spewed hazardous chemicals into the air and ground surrounding East Palestine, Ohio, which has around 4,700 residents.
Trump's visit is casting renewed attention on his regulatory rollbacks on new braking requirements for certain trains carrying hazardous materials that were established by the Obama administration. If the Obama-era rules were allowed to stand, the Norfolk Southern train would likely have been equipped with brakes known as Electronically Controlled Pneumatic brakes.

From Bloomberg: "The braking requirement, put in place in 2015 as part of a suite of new safety rules following a number of fiery high-profile crude oil train derailments, required railroads to install more responsive electronic braking systems on trains carrying hazardous materials. The requirement would have replaced what the head of the Federal."

“[Trump] should be embarrassed,” said Cynthia Quarterman, a former Obama official who played a major role in crafting train safety requirements.

“Regulations force people to advance technology,” she told Bloomberg, adding the brakes could have averted the disaster.
