Amtrak 188 which crashed yesterday in Philadelphia, killing seven was going basically double the speed limit it should have been traveling according to reports. Despite the fact Amtrak 188 was going twice the speed limit before it derailed, that hasn’t stopped disgusting leftists from blaming the Amtrak derailment on the GOP. Because, you know, infrastructure costs or something. Do we have to start paying Amtrak conductors to go slower now or something?
