Until there is proof to the contrary, I am choosing to believe the Gods have spoken.

Hopefully some symbolism for the outcome of these two campaigns. Oh, and an asshole by the name of Jeff Sessions will certainly be getting the last laugh from this optic!

Tommy Tuberville campaign bus catches fire on Alabama interstate

A bus from Tommy Tuberville’s U.S. Senate campaign caught fire tonight on Interstate 59 in northeast Alabama. No injuries were reported in the incident. Tuberville was not on the bus when the fire started around 8 p.m.

The bus was traveling along I-59 near Hammondville, a tiny DeKalb County town about 10 miles from the Georgia state line. Paul Shashy, Tuberville’s campaign manager, said the fire started during a test drive shortly after maintenance.

Tyler Pruett, a spokesman for the DeKalb County sheriff, said the cause of the fire is unknown. “We don’t suspect any kind of foul play,” Pruett said.

The northbound lanes of the interstate near mile marker 227 were shut down Wednesday night. Pruett said the bus was believed to be a total loss.


Is that a Confederate flag I see on the back?

I know a DUer here is an editor at Wiki - they do a great job keeping troll entries cleared. Hats off to them (& you, sir, if you're reading this).
