I have a question for you. The other day you sent me a PM which reads, “If you make it available to me, I’ll put it in my mouth.”
Make what available? What does that even mean?

I agree Nutsy is a sad little man, but what was he referring to? What does he want to take into his mouth?

So it turns out this "accident" was 100% PREVENTABLE. Surely the Republicans will stop de-regulating the rail industry and work with Dems to prevent this from happening again right?

RIGHT?

Pat, we know the answer to that. Republicans love to deregulate to the point of causing an accident, then try to blame the accident on democrats. Then they send cryptic PMs to democrats talking about putting stuff in their mouths.

Oh look, more misinformation. Thanks for bumping this tho and spreading awareness to yet another gigantic **** up by the Biden admin.

And... I think we can put the Trump deregulation argument to rest, unless there is something else that wasn't covered in the article.


The electronic brakes are a separate component from the bearing assembly, so they wouldn't have necessarily prevented bearing failure.

We could speculate that ECP brakes could have prevented derailment though.They are a superior system, slowing the train quicker and uniformly across its length which helps prevent the cascading failure caused by various weights of rail cars slowing at different rates. I think transportation systems should be modernized, and government regulation is often the catalyst needed to make it happen. I disagree with putting too much emphasis on accountants making a cost benefit analysis, which may or may not have happened in this instance, but that's how the law was written.

We can also speculate why Biden didn't attempt to overrule the DOT's previous decision. Maybe he didn't know, it wasn't a priority, or agreed with it as it stood. I don't put much faith in whatever they are saying after the fact.

I'll also add that I understand the ridicule of Trump and Trumpers in the aftermath of this. There are valid criticisms of applauding deregulation for deregulation sake, which absolutely happened and was made a hallmark of the last administration. Arbitrary 2 for 1 deregulation EO's is not a logical approach.

LOL STFU you clown.

You're way to caught up with making retarded arguments and snarky comebacks to have even read 90% of what was posted here, let alone anything outside this forum.

You can speculate all you want on if ecp brakes would have prevented this. What you can't speculate on though is the FACT that this train wouldn't have required them based on that EO...... You must have forgotten that part.

I'm halfway with you on this. Republican politicians aren't known for putting regulatory pressure on corporations. To be fair democrats are not much better but at least seem willing to make changes when forced to by circumstances. Trumpers are flat out retarded in their zeal for mindless deregulation, even making memes touting hundreds of repealed regulations with no fukking idea what each of them were about.

The NTSB seems to want to operate in a perfect world though. Yes, trains are just a collection of parts made from steel that can easily be checked and replaced making failure 100% preventable. In the real world that's bullchit though. The only way to 100% prevent failure is to not run the equipment.

It wasn't an EO, pay attention, the circumstances matter. This all originates with a law, introduced by a Republican coincidentally, and signed by Obama.

And I didn't forget that part, I literally posted an article confirming it.

I made one claim and it is 100% correct.

Now do you agree or not that regulations should be put back on to prevent this 100% PREVENTABLE accident from happening again?

Republicans elected a moron who arbitrarily created an EO that two regulations had to be removed for every one added.

Imagine being this fuking stupid and having the NERVE to show up at an accident scene to blame the other party and hand out chitty fast food..

Agreed. We've always been on the same page about Trump/Trumpers.

Conservatives shot themselves in the foot with that move and it will haunt them for at least as long as he lives, probably longer until his sympathizers and MTG types fade away as well.

Don't forget to separate your beer cans and plastic bags for the recycle bin Mr. Environment.

Not much of a drinker but buy all my soy milk and water based anal lube in paper containers so they're easy to bin.

In my state we deposit them on the side of the highway for the heroin addicts to collect.

Great, free market based system.

Desperately praying for an illegal alien to break into NypAts house and keep her hostage.



IT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED

lol "he only went for political points!!"

going to east palestine is a POLITICAL POINT LAY UP. it was THAT easy...and yet diabetic pat, the dying cancer patient that chits in a bag, the wall chit smearer, fake lawyer seatard the retard, and the rest of the braindead ****g0ts defend the guy who decided to run to ukraine to go suck some more zelenskyy dik lmfao on PRESIDENTS DAY.

really hope when desantis is president and california burns from fires, that desantis does NOTHING about it. just blame democrats.

Imagine being pissed off that Trump went to Ohio to help people lol.

These mentally ill TDS clowns truly do seethe over anything this guy does.

Meanwhile, the far left is now protesting/boycotting Goya products. Srs

I was already boycotting them because of their far left ideologies, but the left is boycotting them simply because Trump donated the products.

“Orange man bad! Always!”

I know you're impressed by my expansive vocabulary, use of punctuation, and overall grasp of the written English language, so you figure Imusthave had some sort of fancy, expensive schoolin', but again, I've never claimed to be a lawyer (or un-retardeded for that matter).

It means you’re a delusional liar. Oh look, the latest replacement account for “hardcock”s homoerotic fantasies.

Hardcock? Is that what you wanted me to present you? You’re one cheeky bastard.

Um, you forgot to cite how it was magically the only incident in human history “100% PREVENTABLE”.

PS: Dems had years to address your proclaimed wrongs. They did nothing.

Ok, nutsack, you win. I’ll pull it out for you to suck on, homo.
