FWIW - these events seem to be regularly held at the Greenbriar, in White Sulphur Springs, WV, which is on the Amtrak CARDINAL line.

1. God Punishes?

[jalan48]

4. Karma was my thought. Will the wing nut preachers blame god for this one?

[MineralMan]

8. Nope. They'll praise god for saving those precious Republicans.

There's always an answer that involved god's will with those folks.

[malaise]

13. A trash truck

how appropriate.

[MineralMan]

18. Indeed it is.

[titaniumsalute]

2. The fucking Greenbrier??

That is the most upscale, pretentious, lilly white, weird resort I've ever visited. Fitting for the right wing assholes.

[lagomorph777]

6. Headed to the fallout shelter? What do they know that we should know?

[titaniumsalute]

27. Yeah lol.

[lagomorph777]

3. The Karma Express?

Maybe they should've funded Amtrak's maintenance budget better.

[dalton99a]

5. Thoughts and prayers for the train and dump truck.

[malaise]

11. You win the thread

[dchill]

21. Done!

[packman]

7. "Greenbriar" - Atomic bomb hideout?

Wasn't that the place where all the big shits from Wash. D.C. were supposed to hunker down when the bombs started flying?

[lagomorph777]

12. Yup exactly.

Perhaps they know that Orange Man has launched a tweetstorm at Rocket Man.

[MineralMan]

16. Why, yes, it is.

Although that use was decommissioned some time ago, the facility is still there, and tourists can visit it for just $39.

It's symbolic, though, that the GOP is meeting there. I think Trump is planning to join them. Or, is it symbolic...?

[underpants]

33. You can tour the bunker now

It's owned by Gov. Justice

[jalan48]

9. Good thing Trump has prioritized infrastructure upgrades!

[Sanity Claws]

10. GOP and train wreck

What a metaphor!

[dchill]

22. GOP Train Colludes With Garbage Truck

[MichMary]

14. Sure hope it isn't sabotage n/t

[fleabiscuit]

23. ?

[MichMary]

25. First thing I thought of

was the R softball practice. ALL of our Congresspeople have huge targets on their backs right now.

[C_U_L8R]

15. Irony is lost on Republicans

First the super 'blue blood' moon and
now this seeming escalation of the dumpster fire....
collision / collusion / wtf

[Blaukraut]

17. Train full of trash collides with truck full of garbage. News at 11 n/t

[dalton99a]

20. +1

[Funtatlaguy]

31. I feel bad for laughing at this

But can’t help it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

19. Was a Republican driving the train?

[NightWatcher]

24. Republican train hits garbage truck. The Goddess of Irony is back baby

[dalton99a]

26. A perfect union.

[BeyondGeography]

28. This will only increase their Choo Choo hate

They’ll take it out on Amtrak. Again.

[Sneederbunk]

29. Just another Republican train wreck.

[zipplewrath]

30. Hope everyone is okay

I can hate their politics without wanting them dead or injured. Bit concerned about the driver too. Looks like it hit the cab. Hoping he jumped out or something before the collision.

[gratuitous]

32. I hope everyone's okay

And that nobody has to start a GoFundMe or something to cover their medical bills.

[oberliner]

34. There is at least one fatality

[Kittycow]

35. Well, that sucks...

[JHB]

36. ...as Donald smirks, because they didnt hold it at a Trump resort

[Orrex]

37. A fitting end to their loco motives.
