Total Idiot
All the politicians, that think these people can start drinking the water, should have to live there for three or four days, and drank and bathed in that water.
Step down !
Imagine getting a job because you checked the right boxes instead of being qualified
didn't trump remove the regulation that requires railroads to have better brake systems on any rail cars carrying hazardous materials
Crazy that anyone believes anything any of these people have to say.
On Capitol Hill, they call him Pete “BUTTgig”
Were there not four derailments on the same day in the United States?
Fox News election fraud lies exposed!
So where's this infolestructual money, all I see is black people driving new cars, commercials all about black people black cops murderers in the cops killing good people. Letting balloons infiltrate..

You see he mentioned container shipping. That's because that's how there doing there human trafficking is by shipping containers.
Politicians do not care about anyone. It’s just the reality. They will pin us against each other and just focus on keeping they’re pockets full.
That’s what they get for voting him in.
That’s what happens when incompetence meets incompetence
Lazy a** politicians for you!!

you all are ridiculous. NOt to promote partisan stuff but folks.. Trump overturned all regulations concerning this…. What side are you on?
Fire this cockroach
That fudge packer can burn in hell
Lies
In response, the Obama administration in 2014 proposed improving safety regulations for trains carrying petroleum and other hazardous materials. However, after industry pressure, the final measure ended up narrowly focused on the transport of crude oil and exempting trains carrying many other combustible materials, including the chemical involved in this weekend’s disaster.
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more than $6 million to GOP campaigns, the Trump administration — backed by rail lobbyists and Senate Republicans — rescinded part of that rule aimed at making better braking systems widespread on the nation’s rails.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.”
But the company’s lobby group nonetheless pressed for the rule’s repeal, telling regulators that it would “impose tremendous costs without providing offsetting safety benefits.”
That argument won out with Trump officials — and the Biden administration has not moved to reinstate the brake rule or expand the kinds of trains subjected to tougher safety regulations.
