Don't you worry your pretty little head young woman. Mayor Pete arrived today and is figuring out who's ass to kick!

Of course it took President Trump visiting yesterday for the administration to realize they'd better at least pretend they care about these folks (at least as much as they do the Ukranians).
No one's ignoring this. It's all over the news sites I regularly read.

You do realize, don't you, that it was Donny who repealed the Obama-era regulations requiring better train brakes that might have prevented this from happening.

Are you really one of those who thinks we should just sit on our hands and let Russia bulldoze Ukraine? --Bob

I realize that notoriously right-wing rag The Washington Post has debunked the "It's Trumps fault," claim but I won't hold my breath waiting for you or others to walk it back. You're only parroting your spoon-fed talking points, after all.

You're missing the larger point. Do you still think it was a good idea to repeal those safety regulations? Or do you want to wait for the next accident, when the repeal does make a difference, before acknowledging that repealing them was still another bad idea that Donny did only because he wanted to undo everything President Obama had done? --Bob

No, Bob, I'm not missing my own point. You and your lil buddies here will continue to parrot the left"s Trump blame game, regardless of the truth. It's pathetic, and rather gross. And speaking of wanting to undo policies of former presidents, if this particular one of Trumps was so heinous, why hasn't Biden reversed it, like he did Trumps very effective border policies?

You do realize, don't you, that after actually investigating that claim, the notoriously pro-Trump WaPo wrote that they looked at every single regulation that Trump had relaxed and found that not a single one of them contributed to this derailment in any way?

Another Norfolk Southern derailment, 20 cars in Springfield Ohio 200 miles from East Palestine. (The East Palestine derailment involved 38 cars.) Some of the contents caught fire, but according to the railroad, there were no toxic chemicals on board.

There's actually video footage of this one from a motorist stopped at the signal while the train passed. The derailment occurred right after the highway intersection.

Norfolk Southern has agreed to a $600 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit. It’s a no-brainer case: the NTSB says surveillance video shows a wheel bearing in the final stage of overheat failure moments before the derailment.

Mayor Pete and Biden have learned from the incident. They showed up much more promptly at the Key Bridge disaster (also because it’s an election year and Baltimore is along Biden’s favorite commuting route).

And by train, no less.
