I suppose Transportation Secretary Buttigieg will be on-scene to direct emergency operations.
In about a month.

Is this actually happening more frequently or are we just more exposed to it after East Palestine ?

Ethanol: a substance based on a lie of saving the world

The fact that this ridiculous subsidy - for a very expensive, polluting and inefficient energy source, that neither left nor right wants, nor even farmers care about any longer - can't be killed, shows how bloated and ossified Fed.gov is.

There Were OVER A THOUSAND Train Derailments in 2022..

Many of these derailments were acts of terrorism and yet they are rarely pursued or prosecuted. Instead, the Biden regime and his cloying clown Transportation secretary is whining and whinging that there are too many white construction workers.

Buttplug will be right on it. You know, faggots are highly sensitive (read with a lisp) folks and care so much for people.

BNSF has very good detectives that will find out who has derailed this train.

Maybe they got rid of their department?

They use to have pretty good detectives but we do not know if these guy were let go.

With all of these Illegals coming into the country we do not know if this is the work of the Mooselimbs declaring Jihad on the U.S.A.

Obama is co-president since we have a POTUS who has a few lug nuts missing.

It is terrorism but no one will admit it. The Republicans are too stupid or naive to consider it terrorism.

In a sane world, the FIB would be all over these train derailments and food plant “accidents”.

Conspiracy theorists, theorize away. Is this just Butty being incompetent, or deliberate sabotage of one sort or another. You decide.

Ethanol equal less MPG, clogged small engines, and vote-buying subsidies for farmers.
