Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg shifted part of the blame for the recent derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals in Ohio on the Trump administration reversing a little-known safety rule. Buttigieg noted Tuesday evening that his agency had taken a series of steps to improve rail safety through "historic investments," but said it was constrained by the Trump administration action. In 2018, the Department of Transportation (DOT) withdrew a rule proposed three years earlier requiring trains carrying certain dangerous chemicals to utilize electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes, saying the technology's benefits were inconclusive.

The truth does not matter. The narrative must be promoted.

I don’t recall any restraint on cancelling the Keystone pipeline even though contracts, agreements, treaties and all.

This is insane.
We’ve spent enough money since the $770 billion Obama requisitioned in 2009 to replace every mile of track and every inch of the bridges in this country. And still the roads, budges and rails are crumbling.
One has to wonder if the responsibility for the infrastructure in this country was outsourced to the New Orleans Levy Board.

Being a democRAT means NEVER having to take responsibility for anything.
Being a politician means NEVER having to take responsibility for anything.
Fixed it for you.

Probably to get LGBTQ and sympathizers’ votes they will say he’s out of the cabinet (yay)-—but into the VP’s residence(boooo).
Tradition after Kammie of total incompetence being richly rewarded at our expense. Then people will say President Newsom or Michelle Obama would be out but then Buttigieg would be President. Impeachment deterrent.

Buttplug, we know you are a moron, but you are blaming a train derailment on a President that left office 2 years ago? Go breast feed your props, morons.
