Comments on "FEMA and the Ohio train derailment":
by Curt_Anderson on February 26, 2023 9:44 am A few more points:
Right after the news of the accident, Joe Biden was on the phone speaking with the Pennsylvania and Ohio governors. Governor Mike DeWine said that Joe Biden offered him anything they needed.
Ohio governor Mike DeWine did not declare the train derailment a disaster, which is what initiates federal funding in a more robust federal reaction to the incident.
The EPA was in East Palestine within a few hours after the the derailment
by oldedude on February 26, 2023 10:09 am Yes on all of that, and I mentioned both. The EPA is a "Regulatory Agency" which means that for actual boots on the ground assistance, they're pretty useless.

Just in case anybody missed it and didn't read the article, be careful not mix up FEMA and the EPA.
Like Curt said, "Right after the news of the accident, Joe Biden was on the phone speaking with the Pennsylvania and Ohio governors. Governor Mike DeWine said that Joe Biden offered him anything they needed.
Ohio governor Mike DeWine did not declare the train derailment a disaster, which is what initiates federal funding in a more robust federal reaction to the incident."
"Under the 1988 Stafford Act, a “major disaster” is defined as any natural catastrophe in the country that causes damage of such severity that the president determines it is beyond the combined capabilities of state and local governments to respond."

Apparently, the second verse of that woke classic, BUT TRUMP, BUT TRUMP!, is, BUT DEWINE, BUT DEWINE!
To all progressive, woke SwampLovers: Clouseau blew it.
Plain and simple...
And, forever.

Only in the minds of people who wish that it were true ...You know...The ones who think subjectivity is truth...LoL !!
Those of us who are “in the know”...The ones who understand that truth is that which conforms to reality...Well, we’ve long recognized your fantasies (your truths) for what they are! But don’t despair, someday, when you wake up, you’ll realize it too !!
by oldedude on February 27, 2023 5:12 am I'm happy he hasn't. Regardless of what those locked in the prison of two ideas say, this is a boom for the GOP in the next election!
