Oh my God Republicans are actually going to do it. Have hearings where they are so embarrassed by the information that comes out, they won't be able to come back in time to win elections. By the time these nincompoops run their hearings, the blue wave is going to hit Ohio. Like a…
Are they going to demand the company testifies?
haha. How tRUmp fu*ked it up is the name of the committee.
Another investigation. 😳 when will they start legislating
Its funny how fast Reps hearings but I've yet to hear of a single piece of legislation to reduce or prevent this from happening again or to even help those affected from from either side. We already know what happened and why.
Can’t wait for them to call out the corporate greed and deregulation that precipitated this, amirite
Funny, go ahead. It will just end badly for the GOP like every other event that has the light of truth shown on it.
*Ohio has a REPUB Governor *The OH House & Senate hold REPUB majorities *House Dist. 6, held by REPUB, covers E. Palestine *J.D.Vance = OH REPUB Senator *TRump deregulated RR industry Instead of criticizing DEMs, shouldn't REPUBs take the lead with responding to the derailment?
Since Trump is responsible for making rail transportation unsafe again they will be investigating themselves I guess.
Let's start here!
They’ll out themselves again. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Suddenly it’s an infrastructure matter, not a deregulation matter
axios breakdown of DOT is a hit job!
This is what you elected, republicans have no platform at all it's just gonna be 2 years of investigations and them pushing forth their bullshit lies
Biggest self own ever. Republicans be like…
Did Jim Jordan’s buddies have sex with the train, too?
I suspect they won't want to hear the testimony on the actual reasons this derailment happened.
Good. Let's get to the bottom of how much money Norfolk Southern paid Donald Rrump to get rid of regulations.
Sure they do.
Can't wait. They Need to Subpoena Trump's EPA Chief, Scott Pruitt. HouseGOP
Guess they didn't learn from the 'twitter' fiasco
Expect political theater and absolutely nothing sincere that will help East Palestine recover or prevent future incidents.
😂 right after their done investigations with 1/6? Clowns
They’ll find a way to blame it on green energy.
Investigate their own deregulation?
Good, I was wondering what they were going to do with Hunter's laptop HouseGOP
Dear HouseGOP specifically RepJamesComer Jim_Jordan LMFAO. Dems will AGAIN make complete fools of you, CANNOT WAIT!!! It’ll be like watching the J6 cmte hearings MASS entertainment
Great. Another investigation of the Democrats that will lead right back to the Republicans as it blows up in their fact. I like it.
HouseGOP Let’s roll!
Can't wait to hear how the GQP will blame everyone but the Orange Jesus that is responsable
Pretty easy….. count how many mechanical/ operations dept personnel 10yrs ago.. NOW count how many for 2023. Lobbyists/ chamber of commerce and the like paid for this via GOP donations/ rewriting regulations…. Ask any rank/file worker ?
So they are now in favor of more government regulations? Railroad lobbyists “we didn’t pay you for more regulation “
Good. I doubt they’ll like what they find.
Good I hope they call everyone in the Trump administration responsible for the deregulation.
This will go about as well as their other hearings
good expose the negligence of the GOP
When you're all in on the lie to the point where you'll set your own house on fire.
e palestine maga voters are the perpetrators not the victims FreedomAndDeregulation
I sure hope they bring in ninaturner to explain how during her tenure as OH Sen sitting on the Transportation Committee had two accidents and did nothing. I think it's important to question them all.
Good. We need to hear about the corporate negligence and lack of regulation that led to this.
k.
I'm sure the first ones they will talk to will be from the railroad and DeWine since they made the decisions regarding it. And those who rolled back the regulations for those trains. And im sure they will have plenty of new regulations they will be recommending. Who we kiddin...
Hey mikeallen maybe ask HouseGOP r they going to ask officials from trump admin how rolled back regulations so this type of stuff happened or when trump n his officials bdidnt shoe up w accidents like this during trump years n people died Just asking
Republicans are dangerous LIARS
They won’t like what they find out.
Part of this disinfo op ⬇️ Viral Video Catalyzed Right-Wing Politicization of Ohio Derailment - The GOP blames the media and Biden for ignoring East Palestine. They weren't talking about it either until a far-right political group made a video.
They aren't interested in exploring that Trump's deregulation caused this. They are only looking into how they can weaponize this against democrats.
Trump rolled back rail regulation and patted himself on the back. Would House Republicans be playing the blame game if Trump was in the WH?
Their hats
So, wait.. The Republicans are going to complain about a 'lack' of regulation? Will the Irony Police be there?
The latest HouseGOP circus act.
Lol
GOP House members; Why didn't Biden, Buttigieg didn't, Biden should have, Buttigieg should have, the Democrats...while ignoring the previous GOP POTUS crusade to deregulate and eliminate rules, that the area is represented by GOP politicians from the local mayor to U.S. Senate.
Republicans: 'How can we politicize this for maximum political gain'
Great, the hearing should be fairly quick since it doesn't take much research to determine what caused this disaster. Although I'm sure they'll spin up some new conspiracy to get their base foaming at the mouth.
Look forward to their recommendations on regulation
Umm
HouseGOP please do. Nothing like debating whether more gov regulation is necessary for hazardous materials transport.
Because the others are working out so well...
GOP is an embarrassment to politics. Can't wait to hear more information on how they weakened rules and regulations that caused this
letter GOP reps wrote shows such a profound disinterest in how our govt works that it suggests these reps have no real interest in the job they were sent to D.C. to do, & instead are weaponizing the govt to mislead their followers into believing things that are not true
Re: Train Derailments & TFG...& What We Know Is.
Gov DeWine admits he and Gov Josh Shapiro signed off on controlled burn in East Palestine. The federal government abandoned the people.
They will game out that the Trump admin weakened the rules. Go for it GOP.
Great, let’s get regulating!
Good. It will be a nice articulation of deregulation republicans, money influencing legislation and the sway big corporations’ lobbyists have over the safety of the American people
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
