Trump Performs Elemental Presidential Duties Biden Refuses To: Visits East Palestine, Ohio, Offers Supplies and Hope
Joe Biden Missing In Action, Except For A Tweet Blaming Trump For The Derailment (He can't reverse THAT EO, about cargo trucks' speed when going through towns, but he can start WW3?)
I often struggle against stating the obvious, but now I need to do just that: It is a mind-boggling outrage, as well as a cruel and in-your-face abandonment, the way this administration, from the President on down to the “Transportation Secretary,” have ignored the environmental catastrophe in East Palestine Ohio. I can’t get over it. “Scranton Joe!” Right?
“People like Biden because he’s a regular guy.” “He has that personal touch…he’s a people person.”
Why did he have to travel to Kiev right at this moment, when his own people needed him so urgently—needed anybody, anywhere in government, to issue any kind of sign of caring? Can you imagine being this man’s child?
In a sense, we all are. A President is supposed to, at a very basic level, communicate to his nation’s citizens that he gives even one half rat’s arse about them. I’m kind of glad he doesn’t even try, to bond with us. All I want is to keep counting dow the days.
In one single disastrous PR move, Biden proved beyond any doubt that he hates the American people, small town America, and cares not one iota for “our beautiful planet.” He hates the frogs and fishes too.
As I reported yesterday, all aquatic life has died hideous deaths in the creeks in East Palestine. Not some—all.
Nor is the catastrophe local, by all reasonable accounts.
This is part of an email I got from from Eric Coppolino today, after a back and forth about some of the day’s coverage:
Wed, Feb 22 at 6:36 PM
“…also anyone saying this is a local issue is lying. I have heard of effects here in NY, New Hampshire, to the west in Central Ohio, south to Kentucky — this was millions of pounds of chlorine mixed with tens of millions of pounds of hydrocarbons in an open burn — MIXED WITH WATER which has flooded all the wells and the Ohio River and all of its tributaries. Modestly, an extinction level event — 125,000 farms in OH and PA alone.”
But here’s my question: Don’t Presidents have advisors? Teams of mediocre professionals who want to be close to power who tell him which moves on his part would make him appear to be the heartless, soulless, vicious goat he really is? Didn't even one of them say: “Mr. President, it will look really bad if you don’t visit East Palestine. Or at least send some Federal aid. FEMA…” No? They just packed his jammies for this vomitous trip to “Kyev” and called it a day? And they didn't even try to make Pete Buttigieg compensate for this? And they draw salaries?
They let Buttigieg wanter around in his fine cotton shirt with his fine friend and snort to a reporter: “I haven’t decided when I’ll go, but I’ll probably go.” Something to that effect. Then he asked if he could take a photograph of the journalist who asked him the simple and reasonable question. Good thing that move didn’t radiate vengefulness and hatred of the free press.
We knew they were elitist globalist criminal scumbags, but we didn't know they would eradicate all notions of making any kind of contact with Americans even under conditions of abject catastrophe. Even the pretense is gone, even the shadow of it.
It’s as though we are a ghost country. They’ve actually ghosted us. They tell us, so many ways, every day, that we do not exist for them. Nothing we could ever go through— no amount of pain, displacement, destruction, humiliation, would ever warrant sympathy, or contact, from any of them.
We’re simply not….Zelensky.
Boy are they nuts about him. They make sure he gets everything he wants, hundreds of billions of US taxpayer dollars, and any amount of weapons his heart desires.
Illegal immigrants can expect somewhere between a 3 and 5 star hotel once they’ve walked into the country, according to some reports. Residents of East Palestine—nothing.
Americans can pound sand.
I always said, back in the days of Trump Wars, that it was a class war. That MAGA was about working class people having a voice and identity, after decades of being ignored and condescended to by Washington elites. Not a rare observation, but still, it eluded so many people. MAGA was about the people in the wave, not about Trump, the individual. On my end, I noticed that the wealthier my (former) friends were, the more they hated Trump. That was 100%
He was not a racist; They, however, were classists. Trump loathing was always just concealed medium of class loathing. They disdained the working class people of America, who keep the country running to the extent it still can. And now we seem to have cargo trains derailing almost daily, yet we can’t capture the attention of the Transportation Secretary.
Well, today they did get some attention, some supplies, and some hope. Donald Trump came to East Palestine.
Well done.

Brilliant observation, Celia. This is the same everywhere, where the Uniparty is in charge - certainly the UK, and much of continental Europe.
Thank you.
“Why did he have to travel to Kiev right at this moment?”
Because it’s far safer in Kiev than East Palestine, and his handlers know it.
While those living in Ohio and east of the Mississippi are in the greatest danger, none of us are immune to the potential fallout (pun intended). If we purchase food (including pet food) or products manufactured in areas affected by this chemical warfare, we can be impacted, too.
It’s time to stop living by half-lies and calling this out for the war crime it is:
