Tulsi Gabbard : Biden doesn't care about Ohio chemical disaster

[busybee01]

....or sending never ending billions of money to Ukraine's corrupt Zelensky!!

Apparently you are worried that your pal Putin could lose. You are just another commie.

 

[ColonelAngus]

I just read that plume is heading our way and is over Huntington WV

Sorry that it may affect you. The whole situation is incredibly sad.

My extended family lives in that area and they are definitely in danger. If they start to suffer I intend to go on a suicide mission.

I just cannot believe the Fed will not help Ohio with FEMA AID for an emergency.

The head of FEMA says it does not QUALIFY AS AN EMERGENCY...THAT IS A FUCKING LIE.

HERE IS THE STATUTE FROM FEMA:

Sec. 102. Definitions (42 U.S.C. 5122) As used in this Act -
(1) EmErgEncy - “Emergency” means any occasion or instance for which, in the determination of the President, Federal assistance is needed to supplement State and local efforts and capabilities to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in any part of the United States.
(2) major DisastEr - “Major disaster” means any natural catastrophe (including any hurricane, tornado, storm, high water, winddriven water, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, or drought), or, regardless of cause, any fire, flood, or explosion, in any part of the United States, which in the determination of the President causes damage of sufficient severity
STAFFORD ACT > TITLE I > §§ 101-102
1

STAFFORD ACT > TITLE I > § 102
and magnitude to warrant major disaster assistance under this Act to supplement the efforts and available resources of States, local governments, and disaster relief organizations in alleviating the damage, loss, hardship, or suffering caused thereby.

How the hell does a train derailment, subsequent fire with deadly chemicals and a giant cloud of toxic smoke billowing into the atmosphere…a million pounds of vinyl chloride and other toxins and poison plume floating down the Ohio River and MANY DEAD ANIMALS…WILDLIFE AND PETS AND LIVESTOCK….NOT QUALIFY AS AN EMERGENCY?

Just read the statute and explain to me how it does not qualify.

the state of Ohio needs to declare a disaster, only then can federal assistance come.

 

[Grumblenuts]

It's a shame that the Democrats chose to ignore Tulsi rather than embrace her all these years. Now she appears to be lost for good. I would have supported her over Biden in a nanosecond. Support the MIC, screw the people.

FEMA isn't allowing them to declare a disaster haven't you been paying attention

 

[Moonglow]

No, but he's in charge of the incompetent trash supposedly "leading" the agencies responsible for the welfare and safety of the people in America. The incompetent S.O.B. is incapable of handling anything but a bar of soap to wash down his daughter and granddaughter. He should be locked in a geriatric hospital and given dolls to play with.

No, Congress passes legislation for transportation.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Jump to 4:30…look how the chemicals have gone to the bottom of the waterways, and when disturbed, the poison rises to the surface and creates the rainbow pattern that oil slicks create in water.

NO FEDERAL AID? THE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM IS POISONED!

 

[Moonglow]

Biden is too busy caring about illegals from other countries and spending OUR money on them.

Railroads are private property.

 

[Moonglow]

Jumo to 4:30…look how the chemicals have gone to the bottom of the waterways, and when disturbed, the poison rises to the surface and creates the rainbow pattern that oil slicks create in water.

Make the railroad company pay for the cleanup for a change.

Teabaggers whining about the federal government..............AGAIN.

February 17 2023
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine won’t be declaring East Palestine a disaster area unless such a declaration can bring federal assistance to the village as it recovers from the Norfolk Southern derailment, fire, and chemical spill.

U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown sent a letter to DeWine calling on the governor to declare a disaster to obtain more federal resources and aid to the town.

The Governor’s office announced on Thursday that the state is not currently eligible for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Spokesman for DeWine, Dan Tierney told 21 News that under federal law, FEMA assists disaster-stricken communities pay for property damage not covered by insurance or another entity.

Tierney says that the derailment did not cause major property damage in the village, and so far, Norfolk Southern has been paying for environmental testing and other needs like bottled water.

Like I said in this and another thread. FEMA isn't allowing a disaster to be declared and are investigating what caused the wreck. Pay attention

Fox News. Republican spokesperson / "spokeseman." Odds are already "FOS"

 

[pknopp]

Biden doesn't own the train company.

January 2006. In WV we had the Sago mine disaster. Manchin didn't own the mine but the reason he is still so popular in WV is because as governor he went there as soon as possible and stayed there leading the recovery effort.

Now Biden isn't going to stay in Ohio BUT it would have went a long ways for him or Pete to have at least showed up.

 

[Blaster]

She is 100% spot on! Biden and his whole criminal admin should be charged with willful negligence

A mostly Republican community. If this had happened in a mostly Democrat community the response would have been different.

And suing the RR:

"While the lives impacted by this wholly preventable catastrophe may never be the same, we are committed to holding Norfolk Southern accountable for its actions and inactions."

as they should.

Look at what good suing PG&E does if you want to see how suing NS will play out
