On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stated that the Department of Transportation has “taken so many steps on rail safety policy” since the East Palestine derailment and is “doing everything we can with the authorities that we already have,” but accidents have gone up despite this because Congress needs to act.

Buttigieg said, “For our department, the process mainly has to do with making sure things like this can’t happen again, which is why we’ve taken so many steps on rail safety policy and are pressing Congress to do more with the power that it has.”

Blah blah blah turd burglar

Maybe if the rail roads could buy cheaper Diesel and pay fewer taxes, they could more moola into track inspection and maintenance.

[fhayek]

Geez. Everything depends upon that three person majority in the House of Representatives. What bold leaders we have in the White House...

[Tennessee Nana]

Those GOP Congress Critters

They cause every evil..

Global Warming
Covid
San Francisco Fire
etc

[Leaning Right]

Buttigieg has a point. If only we had someone in the federal government whose sole responsibility was to oversee transportation, these accidents would be much less likely. And everyone would be better off.

But Congress refuses to authorize a Transportation Secretary.

Oh, wait. Never mind.

[Paladin2]

ButtEdge doesn’t know how to pull a train?

[bray]

At least they have moved on from Bush’s fault.

[algore]

Is this the same guy who had to call an expert to decipher ‘train talk’ with Joe?

[beethovenfan]

The little fairy has done NOTHING.

Lately I’m noticing “Trump’s Fault” is way past its “sell by” date.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

It’s funny how he’s calling on Congress to do something, when other unconstitutional agencies such as the ATF can go ahead and make laws and edicts out of their ass.

[mcatch22]

Some one please ask him what just one of these “things” he claims to have done is.
There are NONE. It’s the same old lame old thing. “We are doing everything we can to solve the disaster we created.”

[Cobra64]

Very true.

[EinNYC]

Buttigieg has a point.

Yeah, he does. Right on top of his perverted head.

[Texas resident]

What does this punk do everyday?

other than collect a paycheck from the taxpayers.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Whenever I hear someone in the executive branch say there is a problem because Congress hasn't acted, my brain translates that statement to, “Congress hasn't give my department more funds to make up for my incompetence in spending the funds Congress did give me." My brain then screams, "Resign you incompetent nitwit!"

[Joe Boucher]

Pete, blame any and everything on any one and everything but yourself.
You are pathetic you freak.
Worthless mookabooker you are there pal.

The more they do; the more rail accidents happen.
How do we fix this?

[Political Junkie Too]

Maybe if we had more pipelines we'd need less rail cars?
