"Yes it is, if Obama’s regime had the strength of their convictions to enact the rules they wanted, that train would have been classified hazardous. I found out that classification would have" Do you remember when democrats had just Manchin blocking legislation and everyone blamed them. However they ignored that every republican was also against it. That's basically what you're doing for this.

Republican leaders believe that government is bad, regulations are bad, and advocate for a world where basically the strong survive. They don’t give a flying f if people who live next to a railroad track in Ohio get cancer, if the tried harder they’d live in the fancy alcoves they live in, where poison carrying trains don’t run through. They are pretty consistent about this and enacted policies that align with that view when in power. Can’t fault them for that right, frog and the scorpion. The Democratic leadership says the opposite. Government is good for people, regulations protect underprivileged people from exploitation of a monopoly transporting poison in the backyard, among other things. When in power, they capitulated to the chemical lobbyists that wanted trains carrying these obviously flammable chemicals not classified as hazardous flammable. They could have put that rule in place, they wanted to, and they bent. They folded. I don’t understand, other than blind party loyalty or just a fear that any critical thought or speech about the democrats is akin to helping republicans, why you can’t see what I’m saying here. I know I can’t bend republicans, but I can sure bend the people who already agree and are feckless in implementing their goals. I do remember when Manchin was blocking legislation. It was quite literally his fault that we don’t have the child credit that lifted 50% of the kids in poverty in the country out of it, because he thought that giving money to underprivileged kids could result in the mothers using the money for drugs. It’s quite literally his fault.
