  1. How about Ohio Governor DeWine's administration there Daisy? How about the local EPA who did next to nothing? How about local corporate oligarchs who allow the railroad to create unsafe conditions through a town no one cares about? Nah let's blame Biden. Let's also forget that 45 made train transport less safe in 2017 by withdrawing a rule mandating better, more reactive ECP brake systems on trains just like the one that derailed in East Palestine. Had this train been fitted with these brakes, the severity would've been considerably less. His administration also killed an Obama-era rule requiring a two personnel train crew in 2019. Both moves were to please big business and screw the people who have to live around rail lines. So if we're charging Biden, the orange one will be right behind him.

  2.  @daisymae749  45 made trains even more dangerous. Like I said. This isn't baseball, it doesn't if your team is up or down. This is about people's lives. Your guy, along with big business interests that the Republicans absolutely love (particularly Norfolk Southern, who contributed 6 million dollars to Republican politicians... just a coincidence though, right?) canceled rules that could've prevented this derailment or made it considerably less severe. The people responsible? That would be the party you love so dearly. You voted for this, congrats.
