Here is what the previous administration did which helped lead to the accident in East Palestine, and possibly many other accidents, especially if as disastrous as this one:
Which is exactly what partisans on both ends do. It's predictably dishonest. But they do it.
That's been their MO from day one. Attack Trump for not taking any responsibility while president and now they don't take any responsibility for anything themselves. It's always someone else's fault. Hell, they're still blaming Reagan for things.
Biden has made so many mistakes that it is hard to keep track of them all.
How does any of that absolve Quid Pro? He spent the first few days undoing everything TRUMP! did, whether smart or not. How did he miss this one? C'mon, man, he had two years to fix this, so if you're going to blame a president, there's suspect number one.Here is what the previous administration did which helped lead to the accident in East Palestine, and possibly many other accidents, especially if as disastrous as this one:
The Trump Administration reversed a previous rule that would require trains carrying certain hazardous materials to be equipped with electronic pneumatic brakes. According to HuffPost, the rule would not have applied to the train in East Palestine, although better brakes might have reduced the impact of the accident.
The Trump Administration also sided with the rail industry to block a proposed rule that would have required two crew members on every freight train. Experts also noticed an uptick in waivers that exempted rail companies from certain rules, including from some inspections. “It was unprecedented how many of them they asked for and it was also disturbing how quickly they were approved,” says Greg Hynes, the national legislative director of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART), a union which assists the National Transportation Safety Board with rail investigations.
ccording to Hynes and Jared Cassity, SMART’s chief of safety, there were other rollbacks to rail safety during the Trump years. For instance, the time that a train could go without an inspection off air—with its air brake system depressurized—was expanded from 4 hours to 24 hours.
While the NTSB’s investigation on the East Palestine derailment is ongoing, public reportssuggest that the derailment was caused by a mechanical issue with an axle—the sort of problem that might be prevented by some of the rail regulations Trump’s Administration slashed. “For me, the lack of frequency in inspections, and the lack of quality of inspections is a very major, major deal and very well could be a contributing factor here,” Cassity says.
Trump, Who Rolled Back Rail Regulations, Slams Biden During Visit to East Palestine After Train Derailment
While Trump claimed the Biden Administration has been neglecting the town, Trump’s critics argue that the rail regulations Trump rolled back during his presidency helped set the stage for the disaster in East Palestine.news.yahoo.com

When did Biden undo the deregulation of the train safety laws? How was it supposed to happen? With Congress? Enough votes for it?

What has Quid Pro done? You're desperately eager to blame this on TRUJMP! and to ignore what he's doing to help, but you don't mention Quid Pro, whose administration has had control over the very elements that caused this disaster for two years and did precisely nothing. Now he can't be found anywhere near the sight, doesn't offer any relief to the citizens impacted, yet you remain silent about it. Why is that, do you think?When did Biden undo the deregulation of the train safety laws? How was it supposed to happen? With Congress? Enough votes for it?
Trump DID deregulate those laws necessary to keep trains safe. Now he is blaming Biden and everyone else?
And this is what Trump does:
Trump was pictured alongside several crates of water bottles bearing his name that had already arrived; he said more would be arriving on trucks.
"We have big tractor-trailers full of water; I think you're going to have water for a long time maybe," he said.
However, it was quickly claimed that the water was over a decade out of date, and therefore could pose its own risk to drinkers' health.
"He goes to East Palestine and brings them Trump Water that might actually be at least 13 years old (the business went under in 2010)?" Tristan Snell, a lawyer who, as an assistant attorney general for New York was part of the legal team that prosecuted Trump University, tweeted. "Got it."
Fact check: Was Trump water given to East Palestine residents 13 years old?
The former president arrived at the site of the toxic spill with pallets of his own brand of water on Wednesday, but some have claimed it was old stock.
Quite a gimmick from Trump. "I am here to help you with 13 year old water"
Make up your mind.
Mind goes out the window when feelz rule.
I am not blaming Trump, per se. Only pointing out all the safety precautions he took away during his administration which would have kept many train accidents from happening. Nothing wrong with that. Is he not responsible for the deregulation of much needed laws?
Kind of like Trump's lies right?
