Yes, hit a trash truck.

But we know the deep hatred of democrats and in a situation like this our first thought is they're trying to kill our people.

Baseball practice isn't the only place our guys gather...we've got to be careful with so many haters out there.

Truck looks more like a dump truck or container truck - i.e. -one piece, not a trailer.

Wow: aide tells me Rep Roger Marshall did CPR on the train conductor. He didn’t make it.

A lot of the GOP House is a gaggle of old, frail men.
They do not do well in train wrecks.
Prayers.

Good one, spooks.

“Not even unthinkable or conspiracy theory anymore.”

More like standard operating procedure. Some in congress will need protective custody just to get through the release of the memo. Hope Trump releases the memo (via EO or some other “oh no he din’t” mechanism) NOW for the safety of the survivors. Feinstein broke the rules re release to protect the swamp. Trump can break them to save the patriots from more “crashes”, right?

I don’t like the idea of all these members of Congress being exposed in a rural area. Seems to be a lot of first responders there.

But the military should be dispatched just to be safe.

Truck appears to be a 10 wheel dump truck, with the dump body laying along the track.

GOP members are awaiting buses to take them the rest of the way.

6 minor injuries on the train.

One fatality in the truck—two others who were in the truck were airlifted.

Trump aware of incident.

No question this is a Deep State attack.

Right after the State of the Union.

It’s known where it’s going and then this happens.

President Trump has to drop the hammer on these criminals now.

Thank you

But what were they going there for?

Was it anything they could not have done in a conference room in Washington?

I am sick of this crap too - ESPECIALLY from the GOP... because now we have to hear the libtards whining over it.

Yes of course they do.
They work super hard at spending your money.

“Yeah, but did you consider the likelihood that the trash truck parked on the tracks by an FBI agent who ran off?”


I heard that Andrew McCabe has a lot of extra time on his hands now....

Did any other nearby dump trucks stall?

As for this incident, a truck just happens to crash into a train carrying GOP members and the Speaker? Right after the most incredible SOTU speech since Reagan? I put nothing past rogue CIA and Deep State thugs anymore. I cannot imagine myself saying something like this a year ago. I would have felt like a Black Helicopter wacko. No longer. I believe we are at war.

You and I are at the exact same place. A year ago I wouldn't ever think what I'm thinking now. We are indeed at war. And that God! Patriots are finally fighting back. I thank the Lord for Donald Trump.

This entire “retreat” thing drives me nuts.

Why politicians can’t discuss issues in DC and feel that they have to go to an expensive resort,along with their spouses,to do business makes no sense.

I am so damned sick of paying for this type of thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

They were going to the Greenbriar - there is supposed to be a safe bunker underneath there - made for a shelter for Congress/President in the event of an emergency. They were probably going somewhere they wouldn’t be spied on.

That’s what I wondered too, why do we have to pay for it?

If they want to have a retreat and pay for it themselves, go for it.

How is it that we taxpayers have to pay for some such political retreat?
