Haven’t seen anything that bad since the Biden campaign back in 2020.

How heavily used is that line and where are the alternates to support the traffic?

Trump's fault!

Global warming?

Climate change?

Aha! Systemic racism caused the derailment!

Everybody was talking about it so much in my area that I decided to come back 20 years to see it for me self. The election was epic!

BLM promised to burn everything down if they didn't get their way. They were there just before the derailment. The protest got violent and police had to intervene.

Now this...

Looks like the Left is stepping things up a bit. Nothing new, considering what happens in other countries.

You read my mind!

Yep, leftists would definitely do something like this. They have all the subtlety of a wrecking ball. And if they’re involved, it’ll be their downfall here, too.

setting the bridge ablaze

That is a steel truss bridge. The fire was in the bridge structure, not the bridge.

And...Yes rosie, steel can warp, even melt when exposed to fire.
