Guess you guys didn't know that Trump in his zeal to get rid of regulations, got rid of some of the very regulations that would have lessened or prevented this accident.
Rail Companies Blocked Safety Rules Before Ohio Derailment
Norfolk Southern helped convince government officials to repeal brake rules — and corporate lobbyists watered down hazmat safety regs.

Then came 2017: After rail industry donors delivered more than $6 million to GOP campaigns, the Trump administration — backed by rail lobbyists and Senate Republicans — rescinded part of that rule aimed at making better braking systems widespread on the nation’s rails.
Specifically, regulators killed provisions requiring rail cars carrying hazardous flammable materials to be equipped with electronic braking systems to stop trains more quickly than conventional air brakes. Norfolk Southern had previously touted the new technology — known as Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) brakes — for its “potential to reduce train stopping distances by as much as 60 percent over conventional air brake systems.”

So, while the government DID try to regulate and oversee the safety of rail lines, lobbyists did their thing and appealed to the right persons (Trump and his administration) to get those regs repealed, resulting in accidents like E. Palestine.

So in other words, if your party ran Vladimir Putin and he cheated badly, got away with it due to a highly flawed and corrupt election and court system and won too, you'd support him as your party platform leader and a winner. All you see is the winning.
Defending Joe Biden is like defending a skin disease.

The folks who try and pass this false narrative off are corrupt to the core and do not have the best interest of the country in mind when they parrot it.

Well, it isn't the Republican party, you've made that quite clear, so that only leaves the other party.

False narrative? Who the hell do you think you are kidding? The public record is replete with judges of every stature with political bias, that is the only kind of judges the left choose, and the election has been flawed from the very beginning, so bad that in 2005, they even tried to address it, but was too corrupted for anyone to actually doing anything about it.

The report of the Carter-Baker panel warned of absentee votes and chided the media for early calls, two things that marred the 2020 voting.

I'm not into playing along with your continued head games, Taz, so unless you want to really have a real conversation instead of these word games . . . BYE.
Crosby was in 2021
and the fort worth one in 2019 didn’t have hazardous materials like on Ohio..but the feds did respond it was cause by heavy flooding
Yes I think he would, and then so much for 71% for Joe!!! But hey; it's only a BLUE COLLAR AREA; not Biden's concern!!!

Letter from Jimmy Carter and James A. Baker, III
As co-chairs of the 2005 bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform, we wrote an introductory letter for its report that opened with this simple statement: “Elections are the heart of democracy.” If the elections Americans use to select our leaders are defective, we continued, democracy is in danger.
At that time, many citizens were losing confidence in the fairness of elections, and we thought it was important that Democrats and Republicans come together to develop solutions to remedy key problems in our electoral system. Although there was inevitable disagreement about a few recommendations, the commission delivered a consensus report endorsed by all members. We all agreed that election reform could help transcend what we viewed as a sterile debate between integrity and ballot access.
Public confidence in our elections continues to wane, and the risk to our democracy is greater than ever. Losing candidates accuse their opponents of cheating rather than accepting results, congratulating their opponent, and acknowledging that perhaps they didn’t campaign effectively enough to win. So-called electoral reforms too often aim to give political advantage to one side or the other rather than to fix problems. It is important to remember, however, that not everything Republicans propose is voter suppression and not everything Democrats propose makes fraud easier.
More worrisome is the lack of comity among elected leaders that prevents them from reaching agreements needed to move our country forward. Too many prefer blaming others for our national problems rather than working together to find solutions.

Obama/Biden already fixed it, before Trump deregulated the fix.
