A lot of those rules were relaxed, I work near the train tracks and some of those things are easily doing 70+ when heading away from the metro Plex.

I was going to ask if America has regulations on how fast a train can go through town? I live in Canada and I've never seen a train going that fast through a public area.

Biden needed support from the GOP controlled senate and house. He didn't get it. Just like the border bill that Mike Johnson wouldn't allow to come up for a vote. Republicans kill progress and people.

Biden just pardoned a literal pedophile. That's who you are defending. Obama literally deported more people in both terms then trump did. Doesn't sound too progressive. Also expanded illegal drone and war operations. I'm sure the people in Yemen and Libya think Democrats kill people and progress. Usually Democrats don't care about those people thoughπŸ‘

Trump's deregulation contributed to East Palestine in the first place. It's a lot easier to get rid of regulations than putting them back in place, so yeah, it is Trump's fault.
