Mitch, what are you going to do if FOX NEWs loses the defamation suit and goes belly up? They also now are dealing with Trump calling them rhinos and ratings dropping because they are not kissing his ass. DUDE, will you be ok if Fox disappears?
Also my buddy Justin told me while we were surfing that if and when he wins again he's putting Rebel News out of business.
My God, I'm worried for you buddy.
Justin carrying my board for me, what a nice guy!!!

Cool it a little bit
While it was wrong of Trump to abolish the braking regulations, do we know what caused the derailment?
I would think the derailment was more likely caused by the sad state of the US rail infrastructure, i.e. the rail tracks.
If there are 1,000 train derailments every year, something is really wrong.

Whoa, lets not go that far as a serious VP but she will make a good Kamalaesque VP where everyone would be scared shitless to remove whomever her boss would be. But Tulsi would get nominated for VP before Marge
I am no Trump fan, but is that the best they can do?
When the EPA comes out and says everything is safe, because the Railroad company tested the water?
Biden administration gets a FAIL.
Biden's plate is full but you cannot deny it as the clip shows Butterball Don and his administration removing red tape and regulations. Right out of Butterball Don's mouth. I am sure Biden and the administration going forward will be making changes.
Far from it would I deny that.
You cannot either deny, that for 40 years every single administration has neglected the American infrastructure while spending many Trillion Dollars on wars far away from home.
The bats are coming home to roost.
The US did not bring on the war in Ukraine. If it wasn't for the US, Ukraine would now be known as Russia, followed by Moldova.
Trump has been clueless as far as regulations are concerned. They were brought in the first place to provide more safety to the employees.
You can go and talk to any employee working with dangerous inflammables and toxic chemicals and then suggest to them about removing the regulations in place with regards to those chemicals and see what response you get from them. Trump takes 100% responsibilities for such deregulations.
if you think that Trump was concerned about the "Clean Drinking Water"
He displayed his true colours here:

The administration is expected to complete the repeal of a major Obama-era regulation that put limits on chemicals that could be used near streams, wetlands and water bodies.
NTSB releases preliminary report on East Palestine train derailment
Yeah, Trump is an idiot, and you cannot convince me that he cares about the workers.Trump has been clueless as far as regulations are concerned. They were brought in the first place to provide more safety to the employees.

But he is not the president, and the Biden Administration gets a fail for the way they have dealt with this problem.
Trump won this inning, like it or not.
How have the Biden administration failed in this respect? They sent the EPA, NTSB shortly after the accident, and even offered the Services of FEMA that was turned down by the Staes of Ohio.
After the full investigation by EPA and NTSB, then Buttigieg visited East Palestine. Trump on the other hand offered no real solutions rather than politicizing this whole sad event. His administration will be called out for deregulating all the Safety Regulations brought about by the Obama Administration that could have impacted this particular shipment.
Trump won nothing rather than making a fool out of himself with his MAGA Hats handouts and gaffes at his speech!!
I don't think you are correct. The EPA relied upon the railroad for a water test. And they said the air and water was safe, when that patently is not true.
But all this does not matter, the optics are that it is a big win for Trump. You and I are not voters in USA.
When you mention EPA, it is the Ohio EPA that regulates the water quality. Now Ohio has a Republican Governor Richard DeWine. When this EPA gave the Green light for the quality of the drinking water, this Republican Governor along with many of his politicians were filmed drinking this tap water to prove that it was consumable.
Another talking point is this "railroad" who conducted the testing of this water:
Norfolk Southern gave donation to Ohio governor one month before East Palestine disaster
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine received a donation from Norfolk Southern just weeks before one of the company's trains derailed in East Palestine, resulting in the release and burn of a hazardous gas over the village.
The company gave Mr DeWine a donation totalling $10,000, the maximum amount allowed by law, according to an investigation by WSYX, a Columbus-based broadcaster who first reported the donations.
In total, Mr DeWine has received $29,000 from Norfolk Southern since he first ran for governor in 2018. The broadcaster also found that the rail company has given a combined $98,000 over the last six years to state and legislative candidates around Ohio.
"Virtually all went to Republicans, although Norfolk Southern hedged its support for DeWine in 2018 with a $3,000 check to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Richard Cordray," the report found.
The company also lobbied Mr DeWine and other state lawmakers extensively during that time.
The report found that Mr DeWine and other state officials were targeted 39 times over the past six years, and other statewide lawmakers were targeted 167 times during the same time frame.
Some of those meetings were intended to fight back against legislation that would require increased safety standards for train operators.
Norfolk Southern has been under scrutiny since the derailment.
US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sent a letter to the company saying the NTSB was investigating the accident and warned on Tuesday that the federal government would pursue reforms that would lift fine caps on rail companies and potentially require more human staff to man the trains.
"Norfolk Southern must live up to its commitment to make residents whole—and must also live up to its obligation to do whatever it takes to stop putting communities such as East Palestine at risk," the transportation secretary wrote in his letter. "This is the right time for Norfolk Southern to take a leadership position within the rail industry, shifting to a posture that focuses on supporting, not thwarting, efforts to raise the standard of U.S. rail safety regulation."
The EPA also announced Tuesday that it was using a binding order to force Norfolk Southern to stay in the area and clean-up the village and the surrounding areas under its supervision.
Prior to the order, Norfolk Southern was leading the clean-up voluntarily. The new order will force the company under penalty of fine to continue working in the region and meet the standards set forth by the EPA.

Okay, so based on what I stated above how on earth is this a "win" for Trump and the Republicans, in spite of Trump deregulating all the Obama regulations that would have helped to protect against such accidents?
Watch Ohio governor Mike DeWine nervously "drink" tapwater from near toxic train fire site
His glass is half-full—and remains so despite the theatrical little drinky movements he makes. Consider that this is an engineered media moment where the point is to be seen downing…

Hey, facts are that it is being seen by many voters in the USA as a PR win for Trump.When you mention EPA, it is the Ohio EPA that regulates the water quality.

You can argue that it should not be, but you and I are not voters in USA, and more importantly we are not part of the 'deplorables'.
Right that we are not voters, wrong, that it is a PR win in anyway for Trump, especially as it is being revealed that Norfolk Southern was lobbying the Republican Party and Trump's visit was just a political PR stunt!! Can you show any evidence that it moved the bar on Trump's popularity in the USA, especially as there were howlers as displayed by even The Jimmy Kimmel Show?
