Too much happening. I would guess Q should be posting any time … hopefully no later than tonight.
You have a point … when he said "return to legal," I assumed the court system. Maybe not. Maybe DOJ.
BOOM: BLOCKBUSTER UPDATE: IT IS NOW CONFIRMED THIS WAS AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. ALL THE ROADS WERE SHUT DOWN AHEAD OF THE TRAIN, WHICH HAD HELICOPTER ESCORT. THERE'S NO WAY THE GARBAGE TRUCK COULD HAVE BEEN WHERE IT WAS, ABSENT AN OUTRIGHT ATTEMPT TO GET IT IN FRONT OF THE TRAIN.
Uh oh! "Choppers were following the train and the rail road crossings were supposed to be shut down for the senators to have priority per Rachel Campos Duffy, wife of Sean Duffy R-WI on Fox"
THIS IS NOW A CONFIRMED HIT ON REPUBLICAN SENATORS WHO VOTED TO RELEASE THE MEMO.
The photos of the accident scene are a little misleading, the train in fact hit the dump truck at the prior crossing, and carried it to the next crossing. the train did not just stop on a dime.
Problem: where the road crosses the tracks is on a very convenient curve. Coming from either direction, the engineer would never have enough time to stop once it saw the truck. I'm sure the tracks were laid out specifically to skirt the town as it existed when the tracks' route was set. As such it's a nice wide curve, but still plenty small enough to give the engineer effectively zero reaction time when something was noticed on the tracks at that particular crossing.
