1. Classy.

[malaise]

10. The metaphor is still applicable

Sorry.
Do you have any idea how many deaths ReTHUGs have caused?

Funny how many of you don't want to discuss gun deaths.

[democrank]

2. Terrible to joke about this.

The truck driver is dead.

3. I'm not trying to make a joke.

The trainwreck of Republican "leadership" is causing death, through denying
healthcare, and so much more. That it ran into a garbage truck and caused
the death of an American worker--it seems like just what they are doing.

4. It seems more likely the driver tried to beat the train.

As much as we despise them, they did not “cause” the death.

9. Absolutely correct!

There are plenty of other things to make fun of! Not this, never!

6. Checking news from 20 minutes ago

Reports are the driver is injured - not dead. Do you have a link?

11. There is no joke here

When the NRA says it's too early to discuss deaths after ReTHUG backed slaughter, I don't see any of them raising the horror of sudden death.

[Skittles]

15. do we really want to behave like repukes

[malaise]

17. By pointing out that this is a fitting metaphor is not behaving like ReTHUGs

sis. We disagree on this one

5. NYT: Fortunately train is filled with experts providing onsite

thoughts and prayers " Applebaum

7. Unrec. n/t

12. Check this line from the thread at link

“Fortunately there is on the scene an entire trainload of experts in administering ‘thoughts and prayers.'”

The metaphor works on many levels.

13. someone was killed; I guess I just do not see the humor

[panader0]

14. No humor was intended.

I grieve for the life lost.
I saw it as a metaphor. The trainwreck of the repubs hit a garbage truck.
An American worker is killed.
