NTSB Chair: Brake Rule Buttigieg Blamed Trump for Repealing ‘Would Not Have Prevented’ East Palestine DerailmentYou gots you a bad case of the TDS, TDS, Orange Man Bad, TDS, TDS. Remember, the first step of a 12 step program is admitting you need help.
During an interview aired on Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chair Jennifer Homendy stated that while electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes would make things safer, when it comes to the East Palestine, Ohio derailment, “even with ECP brakes, the derailment would have occurred, the fire would have ensued, and the five vinyl chloride tank cars would still have to be vented and burned.” And, at best, they possibly could have “reduced damage where a couple of cars could have remained on the tracks,” but modeling still needs to be done to determine this.
Host Jake Tapper asked, “[E]ven with the 20 cars with toxic materials, under current safety rules, that train still did not qualify for designation as a high-hazard flammable train, which would have gotten it — or required at least, a newer, safer braking system. So, that rule as it stands right now clearly was inadequate for the citizens of East Palestine. Why not add the newer braking system to any train carrying hazardous material, not just those with more than 20 cars of hazardous material?”
Homendy answered, “The NTSB has looked at electronically controlled pneumatic braking for a number of years and we did some testing as well. Certainly, it would improve safety. But for this investigation and for this derailment, ECP brakes would not have prevented the derailment. The wheel bearing failed on car number 23, so even with ECP brakes, the derailment would have occurred, the fire would have ensued, and the five vinyl chloride tank cars would still have to be vented and burned. What it could have done was maybe reduced damage where a couple of cars could have remained on the tracks, but we’re going to do some modeling along with the Federal Railroad Administration to determine just that.”...
I would think both GEPOTUS Trump and Petie-Pie have very busy schedules. Let's check:
So, can ya'll verify that "No events." actually means Petie was on personal time and likely fulfilling his Presidential duties of your Butt Munchers Society? I mean, I don't wanna know much else. No secret hand shake. None of that. Besides I'm pretty certain your secret hand shake is to sit in a circle naked and everyone reaches left. But please no pictures. OK?

WhyYes. Can you check back on the Trump calendar from his time as president and let us know how many times he or Chao visited the site of a train derailment? Maybe just the ones with fatalities to make it really easy. Originally Posted by 1blackman1Did ya happen find those dates yet? Asking for a concerned citizen.

And Hayes' election was part of a grand bargain to get federal troops out of the South.

They HATE him so much that they show up in droves to vote him out. We’ve been there, done that!!
Trump lost by a lot more in 2020. Republicans lost the Senate in 2020 and 2022, because Trump ran off principled Republicans like Jeff Flake and supported other LOSERS like Herschel Walker. And if Trump gets the nomination in 2024, it's going to be a bloodbath. Because of his post-election shenanigans in 2020 and 2021, Democratic Party turnout would be through the roof. Furthermore, Trump would lose the vote big time among independents. And he's not going to get the vote from so-called RINOS like me. I'll vote for the Libertarian if he's the nominee.
And just how different is Trump from the so-called RINOS? The only difference I see is on foreign policy. He's not as inclined to get involved in foreign wars and meddle in other countries' business. That in my opinion is a good thing, but there are lots of viable Republican candidates out there who think similarly. Yes, Trump supports border security and protectionism more than some Republicans used to. But now that's true of the majority of Republican politicians.
Why not support someone who can win? Do you want another four years of Biden? Originally Posted by Tiny

I really don’t understand why the Trumpies don’t understand that! It’s right in front of you. And now they have Jan 6th.
Let’s find a Republican (possibly Nikki Haley) who will get some of those middle of the road votes. She would definitely get some female votes (another group that hates trump).
This really shouldn’t be that hard to comprehend. Originally Posted by Charley3

Salty, if I ever need help, I hope like hell that someone doesn't show up to give me water, beans and a Big Mac and has a press conference to act like he saved my life. Damn, please just shoot me in the head and put me out of my misery if I'm ever thankful for that. LOL Originally Posted by Lucas McCain
Tell us all again how much bottled water and food the vast resources of the Federal Government delivered to the the US citizens in East Palestine?
How much did the Federal government spend so far in Ukraine?
mmmm. You smell like Turncoat. Originally Posted by texassapper

Quit your whining. Even if you don't like President Trump, he has done more for East Palestine than FEMA, that Faggot Transportation secretary, senile old man Ukraine Puppet Joe, Loves to get on her knees and suck Black Cocks Harris and the always drunk wino Pelosi.
If you don't agree with what President Trump is doing in East Palestine to help the poor folks there, why don't you get off your backside and go to East Palestine and help those poor folks yourself.
Sitting at a laptop/computer/smart phone and whining about it won't help those folks. Originally Posted by CG2014

So by simply announcing his intent to be there FEMA changed course and stepped up. Who knows, maybe if F Joe Biden wasn't skipping the country with their tax dollars things might have been different. Oh well, what ever makes you sleep at night I 'spose... Originally Posted by Why_Yes_I_Do
... Throwing in the towel?Guess everyone likes to bitch about the govt and its agencies but no one cares to read what their scope is.
... Trump was there to help... Biden never showed.
Nothing else needs to be said.
