I didn't follow that train thingy...
I sidestepped the blogs here about a train derailment in Ohio and it appears those blogs disappeared in the night. But, there are news stories daily about this and here's what I found so far... 44 had instituted safety regulations and 45 rolled back regulations. While the National Transportation Safety Board is examining the causes/reasons for the derailment, fingers are being pointed in different directions.This issue has become political and Republicans are blaming the 46th administration for not showing up and 44 has become their hero as he shows up for the publicity stunt/photo opp with bottles of water branded with his name. Other than rallying the troops for reelection, I'm unsure what power or authority he actually has as an ex-president, if any to help the people of Ohio.
Lots of links about this:
As usual, the reader comments tell some important opinions about the situation:
speakeasy said:
"Trump was and is part of the problem and now he wants to throw the blame on Biden. He received 70 percent of those peoples vote, now this is part of what happens when you go all out on deregulations with no safeguards. Now they are crying."
“Buttigieg should’ve been here already,” Trump told reporters as he handed out MAGA hats after speaking alongside Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) and Rep. Bill Johnson (R-Ohio). Trump also said Biden should “get over here.”
45 has been super busy this week calling out anyone who doesn't support him. He's feuding with Fox News for their support of Ron DeSantis, who actually hasn't announced a run for the 2024 presidential election. But that's tied into their realization his claims of fraud in the 2020 election are unfounded.
In other news, The Georgia Grand Jury have released their findings to the 2020 election and possible and indictments may be forthcoming.

You know someone who can unite us and not divide us...
Neither of the last two administrations have done this.
