  1. We know the government will hold the railroad accountable but who holds the government accountable? They’re running wild and loose these days

  2. Those were chemicals used to make more plastic. Is plastic worth it?

  3. I have great faith that the Government will make it worse! They did nothing to stop it. They did nothing when it happened. There is no "Equity" here.

  4. Well the Obama admin did try to implement stricter rail safety regulations but the Republicans fought tooth and nail against it, and the Trump admin later struck it down altogether

  5. Funny how US MSM is late to report a truly toxic incident but was well on their heels over a weather ballon! Shame on all of you reporting only after more than 2 weeks!

  6. Not easy Palsetieen call it like to East Palestine 🇵🇸

  7. No money for you …

    we got money for Ukraine.

  8. You great American Citizens give Ukraine zillions of your tax dollars and you cannot get nothing from your tax dollars. We fought a revolution and worked to give you people freedom, and you sit back and give it away to terrorists posing as a political party. (George Washington )

  9. Is it pronounced Palestine or Palesteen?

  10. Head of EPA should've been down there a week ago. Everyone in government should've been there like day 2.

  11. Us respond to this disaster like my 3rd world country
    I think its faster send money to war

  12. Government lies constantly

  13. Do not worry.
    Reliable sources say that no drag queens were harmed in the explosion.

  14. First off, politicians in both parties are stockholders, so the midst of time is crucial. See how to minimize profit losses and then help the peons. This certainly doesn't show to the rest of the world that the US is the best country in the world. Just a bunch of self interested hacks in charge. MSM should press a little harder for public assurance. Didn't the placard on the railcars say hazardous materials.

  15. In the last 5 years alone, the 200 most politically active companies in the U.S. spent $5.8 billion influencing our government with lobbying and campaign contributions. Those same companies got $4.4 trillion in taxpayer support – earning a return of 750 times their investment.

  16. This company announced a $10 billion stock buyback last year. They should buy every resident a new furnished house in the city of their choice instead, plus 100% paid healthcare for life

  17. Brought to you by the

    Biden Building Back Better Program👎

  18. Where is Biden Administration

  19. where do you see firefighters in this short video?

  20. Biden is in Ukraine gathering aid for Zelensky instead of caring for his own people here in the US

  21. interesting, the EPA dont find anything but health clinic opens for people affected by "the nothing", hmm really gets the noggin joggin

  22. Error 404: Puppet of Kiev not found

  23. Don't worry ohio, whenever biden is done helping ukraine first, I'm sure he will read an article about ohio.

  24. Cant be nice = killed you ,do into others.

  25. Biden's too busy ballwashing Prince Zelenskyy to be bothered by an eco disaster on US soil. What's he supposed to be president of, again?

  26. And Joe is in Ukraine on a publicity campaign smh. He just showed that they are more important than our fellow Americans in east palestine

  27. Protestors travel from states away just to walk around and yell.

    If these companies think some won't travel to enforce An Eye For An Eye, they're crazier than me.

    Hope they're looking over their shoulders and teach their children too as well.

  28. https://youtu.be/jtszkwrng-A

    This video shows proof that the EPA air testers are being covered up.. how with a simple plastic bag covering unit. See video so sad

  29. People need to take water samples on their own and send them to professional testing sites. This is the only way to fight the corruption.

  30. The water has been tested and deemed safe. Those are the results from the water testing company employed by the railroad. Those are the results your republican governor, who you just re-elected, are running with. Enjoy!
