[UNCjigga]

EPA dropping the hammer on Norfolk Southern with new binding order that mandates they are responsible for all cleanup costs.

Anything they don’t cleanup to EPA standards, EPA will do the work and bill them 3x costs.

Meanwhile, Tucker is blaming Biden, Buttigieg, and Democrats hatred of white people as the cause of the train derailment and response... his insanity is beyond compare, but MAGAs lap it up like the one and only true gospel

It's going to take multiple trials broadcast to the public for those idiots to even start breaking the spell.

Come on people, sue Fox News into oblivion.

Gene Wilder would have something important to say about this.

"It's PAL-E-STEEN! Not PAL-E-STINE!"

At least it's not in Jim Jordan's district. Then again, it might've been interesting to see how that scenario would develop.

Like what is the orange monkey going to do by visiting the crash site? It’s already MAGAtard country. Not like he’s going to get even more votes.

He knows he will get coverage. Then they will blast it all over the other media outlets.

Hopefully taking really really deep breaths, drinking lots of water straight from streams, and taking long baths in a hotel.

What else, but a list of grievances. He's even bringing one of his idiot sons. Hope they get run over by a first responder vehicle.

Biden and/or Buttiege should have probably visited. I know the pre-determined Ukraine visit probably threw a wrench into things, but this is now letting Trump control the optics/narrative.

I mean the people there probably would have hated Biden's guts regardless and it won't change any votes that matter, but was probably the right thing to do. To visit now, after Trump, just looks awkward.

I have always admired the Republicans' ability to get away with blaming the Democrats for the results of their policies.

Dems have been fighting for years to do something about the hazardous materials traveling by rail through small towns that lack the means to deal with a major disaster.

Dems need a war room. What you are saying should have gone out in an ad days ago

We are not a serious country, but we are in serious trouble.

 

[fskimospy]

I mean, is the irony not lost on anyone else?

The town ravaged by the derailment....embraces the man who probably contributed to the issue with regulation roll backs.

All while he passes out cheap, made-in-China hats, expired water, and buys everyone a Big Mac. A masterclass in empty populism.

We are not a serious country, but we are in serious trouble.

Well, I congratulate you on nearly four months before returning to predictions of doom.

Do you think we're a serious country?

Sure, why do you ask?

I don't think he's necessarily wrong. These people will hear this propaganda and again vote for Dewine and other Republicans. Rinse, Repeat, Could something like this have happened and if it did the response take this long even in a predominately white "working class" area in MA? No. The State govt. would have been on it.

But one of the biggest political problems for Democrats is that they're unwilling to do things to benefit from tragedies.
Republican on the other hand LOVE exploiting tragedies.

Rs already pull dictator margins from this county. I think we should not pretend that they give a fuck and treat their bad faith complaints accordingly.

I personally doubt the idea that this disaster had them all ready to vote for Democrats until this propaganda got its hooks into them.

It shows how out of touch and how much contempt that Democrats and the Biden admin have for average americans. Pothole is more worried about equity and personal time than a whole town getting nuked by chemicals.

Democrats never let an opportunity go to waste when it comes to identity politics or pushing their ideological agenda. No money in helping clean up a town nuked by a chemical burn.

The Republican Party is literally 100% identity politics, lol.

You LOVE identity politics.

You are lying. I have a copy of your emails.

Lol says the guy who worships the cock of the orange man who is going to a disaster for a photo opp.

Damn you guys are brainwashed!

Agreed. Was commenting on how they will again vote against their interests based on empty populism.
