Well played, Mr. Trump!

Like the 2020 election? That one was rigged like Joe said.

Oh yes, I'm well aware. They are allergic to it.

I love this:
"I did not say it was Trump's fault. You're just claiming I did to find a problem with my post." Followed immediately by: "Do you think the Trump administration's decision to change safety regulations was the right thing to do?" If you're not saying it's Trump's fault, why are we discussing it? Before you were implying Trump removed safety regulations regarding breaks that could have avoided the derailment. That IS saying it's Trump's fault.

Help me answer the question. Precisely which safety regulations did he change? Since we don't want to go through what might be reams of safety regulations, only list the ones directly responsible for the failure of the bearings on the Norfolk Southern train in East Palestine, Ohio, and why the NTSB wouldn't decide those safety regulations were to blame.

If I have the space, I'll tell you a little story. Here in Oregon, it will take you at least $50,000 in permits and regulatory red tape before you can even break ground and build a house. A liberal friend who is a subcontractor, and a conservative neighbor who is a subcontractor both think the regulations are strangling the housing market, here. Both would reduce the regulations if they were suddenly made Governor. If the regulations were eased, and later a high rise collapsed because of nothing that had anything to do with any of the permits, environmental studies, and other silly hoops they make builders jump through in this state, should we blame the fact that regulations were eased for that high rise collapsing? First, regulations were eased; second, a high rise collapses.

But correlation is not causation. First, regulations were eased; second, worn bearings fail. So choose those regulations I'm to look at carefully. And no, I'm not going to do the research for you, so don't give me a generic link. It's your proposition. Prove it.

Semis. It was a wonderful gesture, and the looks on the people's faces was heartwarming -- they felt, finally, someone cared. Then Trump ran his credit card and bought the local fire department Big Macs (Trump likes them), and bought some more for the various towns people he was going to run into.

He also hugged people. Biden is called "empathetic" and all that, but his representatives weren't seen holding people as they cried. I'm not root-hog-n-die Trump, understand me. Those vaccines all the Dems were saying they wouldn't take because they were "Trump vaccines" are vaccines I STILL won't take. He shut the country down and turned it over to a little megalomaniac called Tony Fauci, a man who never saw an audience or a camera he didn't like.

I could go on for hours.

But I don't have TDS. When he does something good -- and this was something very good -- I'm willing to give credit where credit is due.

What’s in the news when you’re 25 miles from it is not what’s in the national news. You likely got 24hour coverage. It was a far bigger deal, since they’re likely to have to treat this town like Chernobyl, than anything in my memory, short of Tiananmen Square or a Presidential assassination. This poison is now in the Ohio River, as I don’t have to tell you. I don’t even know — nor do they — how many people will be affected by this disaster, and we only got to really see the national news take it seriously in the past week and a half.

Buttigieg took too long to show up. It’s too late for Biden to even bother, now. And we really need to know where that infrastructure money went. This isn’t the only problem we’ve seen in transportation, lately. The Biden Administration cares more about Ukraine than they do what’s happening in America.

Exactly!

They didn't do enough. But the democrats are the ones supporting safety regulations and the Republicans are the ones removing them and putting in place judges who rule in favor of not business over victims. So you think carefully about who is the problem.
