KYIV — After a surprise visit to Ukraine and a photo op with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, some are pressing Biden on the environmental crisis in East Palestine. He finally broke his silence on the issue to reporters by suggesting those affected just give up drinking water for Lent.
“Listen, folks, Lent is here. Perfect timing! Not a joke!” said the President in response to a reporter. “If you’re concerned about chemicals or whatever in the drinking water, just give up drinking water for Lent! Simple as that! Don’t drink it! What a great opportunity to avoid toxic water while observing Lent!”
Biden then smiled to himself as he was pleased with the brilliant solution he had just offered.
Sources close to Biden say he also plans to give up something for Lent, although no one knows what it is since he said he plans to give up “flibberblorfzeprefler.”
“That’s right, 40 days without one single sniff of flibberblorfzeprefler!” said Biden. “If I can go without that for that long, you can go without water!”

The residents of East Palestine have Trump water to drink today.. Actually it may have been delivered earlier. The trucks are rolling in with the same bottled water that is served at Trump hotels.
East Palestine is barely an hour from my house. I am disgusted with the derailment and how it has been handled…and the crummy treaatment of the people in the area by Norfolk Southern and the federal government.
This reminds me of the stories that came out of the old USSR about entire villages or towns that would simply disappear after an industrial accident.
