Train Carrying GOP Congressmen to WV Retreat Hits Garbage Truck Attempting to Beat the Train;
Bill Kristol Makes Jokes About Collision

I was wondering when the NeverTrumpers would start joking about a train collision.

Bill Kristol started at 12:08, saying that he gives permission to start making jokes, assuming there are no fatalities, then cracking wise in his Not Funny Person Who's Told He's Funny By Bootlicking Employees that "the 2018 script just writes itself" about GOP trainwrecks.

And then, he deleted it:



Here's the USA story, though the reportage changes quickly. Some reports say no injuries, others say there are injuries. And apparently there may be a fatality, according to Shecky Kristol.

As Tucker Carlson said of the no-longer-having-a-magazine, now-addicted-to-Twitter Kristol:

"Now, he just goes on Twitter and stays on Twitter all day every day," Carlson said. "Dashing off little thoughts and impressions, scoring tiny little points against strangers in cyberspace, keeping obsessive track of his likes and re-tweets. At an age when he could be playing with his grandchildren, Kristol is glued to social media like a slot machine junkie in Reno. And after a while, of course, that distorts you."

These people believe they are classy and cool-thinking and clever, but in fact they're vicious, deranged, and stupid.

PS, I could not get the screen shot in time. I trust someone else did, and I'll post the tweet of this robotic slot machine of hate and conspiracies addict when someone puts up the screencap.

Oh, and we all are subject to the same Rules of Engagement we inflict on others. If a setback should befall this sniveling, hissing Gollum, I promise I'll be among the first to crack jokes about it.

The Sniveling, Hissing Gollum Thinks Xe's a Comedianne: Here's the screencap. This was xer first thought upon hearing of a train collision in which there were conflicting reports about injuries and fatalities.



Thanks to spypeach.

38 I wondered how long it would take the progs and NeverTrumpers to begin making "jokes" about the crash.

Apparently there were head injuries on the train, something that can NEVER be taken lightly.

My sweet dad died after tripping in the night, hitting his head on the floor, and complaining to my mother a short while later of having a really bad headache.

By the time the ambulance got him to the hospital and he went into surgery for a subdural hematoma, it was too late.

1. Bypassing the arms to beat the train
2. Not planning the space in front of you and getting caught by the light causing you to idle on the tracks.
3. The arm doesn't work. (I saw a dashcam video a couple months ago of a crossing where the arm didn't work)
4. No arm (not all crossings have them)
5. Vehicle mechanical failure while crossing tracks
6. Driver failure while crossing tracks causing one to become physically stuck

182 I saw a semi-trailer get hit by a train at a country crossing years ago - it was a high grade and the truck got stuck on it for some reason. The train was moving at almost 80 mph and the amazing thing was that the truck cab wasn't damaged at all, or even moved - the train hit the trailer so hard that it sliced it in two like a giant knife, with both halves left sitting on either side of the tracks. About 50 or 60 cars went by before the engineer could even bring it to a stop.

193 This wasn't an accident. Over 200 members of the House and Senate were on that train.

This was a mass murder attempt. This was an act of war.

194 There is a dangerous intersection right by my house and a police station about two blocks away. They speed right through it probably 80% of the time, no lights, no siren, going way over the speed limit.

My parent's house is on a straightaway that cops frequently travel. It's a residential 35 mph street. Cops FLY by on the regular, no lights or sirens. If you sit in the front room you can hear a little traffic noise, and you get used to what the normal speed sounds like. If you hear someone flying and glance out the window, guaranteed it's a cop.

About ten years ago one actually lost it on a bend in the road about 200 yards away from my parent's place and went through the front of a little convenience store. Again, no lights or sirens.

I went down to gawk. As I got there, a cop was filling out a report. While I was standing around, another cop came walking down from the head of the train. The guy filling out the report looked up and said, "Damage to the locomotive?" "Negligible", the other replied.

Since it is well known that Trump had an extra-marital affair with a porn star, where is the outrage from the republicans that called for Bill Clinton's impeachment.


These people sure don't have a solid grasp of reality. Forget the fact that the Trump affair is alleged (and is denied by both parties), it happened BEFORE Trump was in office. And Trump hasn't been asked to testify about it under oath.

Conversely, Clinton was screwing anything with a heartbeat. Was proven that he and Monica had a thing while in office (pecker tracks withstanding). And he lied under oath.

Certainly shows that facts don't matter.

bridge in NC". No matter how many warnings including a laser detector
and electronic signs telling the truck drive his truck is to high for
the RR bridge, they still try and fit their truck under it...a guy who
live by has a cam that captures them all. Most truck drivers ignore the
signs and red light and just keep on trucking.

Because there were only 200 of them. On a train that was leased specifically for this trip. Sure -lets lease 3 Amtrak trains for risk management. Because it is only money.

Those on The_Left think that those on the right are focused on these sorts of things and that it's like waving a red flag in front of a bull to us - we will respond with condemnation. They don't realize that The_Left has trained us well, and we don't care about this stuff either anymore. We might look back nostalgically at the 1950's but we know the past is a foreign country and we don't live there anymore.

402 here we go....Andrea Tantaros with new allegations

More pervy allegations about Fox News Universe:

Andrea Tantaros, the former Fox News star, is aiming to move forward in a lawsuit that alleges her former employer electronically surveilled and harassed her. In a proposed amended complaint filed Monday, she includes new allegations, such as how Fox News had a closed-circuit television network that allowed its former chief Roger Ailes to monitor offices, including ones where most Fox female talent disrobed daily.
"There was also a bi-annual trunk show in the Spring and Fall conducted by Fox's wardrobe department," states the amended complaint. "The trunk show was held in empty Fox offices and female talent was expected to disrobe down to their undergarments to try on new on-air dresses for the next season, without even the benefit of a curtain. The dresses were pre-selected for the women by the wardrobe department before their arrival; pants were not an option. Upon information and belief, Ailes was recording female employees disrobe without their consent in their offices and during the bi-annual trunk show."

There's a lot more to Tantaros' amended complain, which you can read in its entirety here.

You probably all know Saruman was a wise man consumed with envy and resentment and ultimately malicious loathing for those actually wiser than he was but "lower" in caste and (supposedly) intellect. Kristol psychologically unraveled at the emergence of the gauche, jumped-up peasant Trump and is movement of lowbrow deplorables.

Last night it almost happened to me. Of course I was being attentive as I pulled into the gas station. Barely a few miles per hour. And this Suburban pulls straight out from the pumps and in front of me before turning left. I can see the driver with phone to ear staring straight ahead as he turned.

416 397 I did not watch Kennedy, but the Dems must be looney to think that name is not greatly tarnished. It doesn't have the cachet they think it does. "

And outside of Mass., how many millennials know anything about the Kennedys? The world started the day they were born. They probably couldn't tell you exactly when JFK was in office. That's ancient history.

The Kennedy worship is a liberal Boomer thing. The "where were you when you heard President Kennedy was shot?" was always something older Boomers used to ask each other. It's like a ritual.

"Oh, I was in Mrs. Thompson's class picking my nose and they announced it over the loud speaker..." Shit, they were all in class unless they were sick or playing hooky! It happened on a school day!

But then they'd go on to talk about how shocked they were, etc. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they were and millennials will probably talk about 9/11 the same way. But that's when JFK and the Kennedys became these godlike figures to Democrats and I've found that even boomer Republicans (especially Irish Catholics) retain a fondness for JFK, even if they couldn't stand Teddy. It's like they can't completely relinquish the Camelot bullshit.
