If true which I doubt, these idiots had two years to fix it. I hate these people.

[Sarah Barracuda]

LOL LOL gotta love how commies love changing the subject when they obviously dont give a rats ass about what happened in East Palestine and its simple, because they voted for Trump, they are white, poor, Trump voters so the left hates their guts anyway

[Skwor]

It’s a lie. The train in Ohio would not even have been part of the regulations they are referring to. Don’t fall for their lies.

[Fledermaus]

Pure desperation

[knarf]

It IS true Trump loosened regulations, but they were hindrances to productive business regs, NOT the safety of logistics and operation.
THIS is one of those false bullets they’ll hammer during 2024.

[joethedrummer]

Gee… what did that HUGE “infrastructure” bill they recently passed go for???

I seem to remember that THAT was gonna fix all our transportation…

Yeah… Trump’s fault tho…. lol

[Democrat = party of treason]

What BS. The railroad companies did this to themselves when they all decided they no longer wanted to pay a person to ride in a caboose and watch the train.

[Bshaw]

So what then, pray tell, has the ‘administration’ done to correct the deficiencies?

Since Pete Buttigieg commented on a thousand derailments a year, he must be all over this?

[Sacajaweau]

They're saying bad wheel bearing....???

Some of these trains really zip by in these hick towns. Time to slow them down. And 150 cars??

[Harpotoo]

The railroad retirement act is older than SSI. BRANDON, please get a life;-)

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Ah yes. I remember the good old days under the imperium of FDR. In all those years, there was never a train wreck. Never. Train wrecks didn't start happening until Eisenhower was elected.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“..these idiots had two years to fix it.”

And three weeks to come up with this bogus piece of amateurish spin.

[Shady]

I have not yet seen news of the cause of the derailment(s) outside of the one axle overheating.

[Vaduz]

Andrew Bates must be some Obama left over trash blame something anything................

[Governor Dinwiddie]

A hotbox detector should have picked up on the bad bearing. They are designed to do that. In the real world things break, and it's not always foreseeable. The world is complicated. No one is to blame.

[pepsi_junkie]

If true which I doubt, these idiots had two years to fix it.

Transportation secretary was too bust on maternity leave, photo ops of fake biking to work (after his SUV dropped him and bike off a block from the office), and attack the problem of racist highways to get around to looking into it. First things first.

[lee martell]

A real president would first focus on finding a resolution out of this toxic spill, not pointing a finger.

[rfp1234]

That’s as bogus as blaming modern car crashes on repeal of the 55-mph limit, rather than on texting-while-driving and other distractions...

[Leep]

America would be paradise if we could regulate leftists into near non existence.

[Sacajaweau]

I agree....millions of parts...stuff happens...

I'm thinking about the speeds through these hick towns...I know waiting for a train to pass is annoying...but it's better than getting behind a dumb a** Amish buggy.
