Althouse: "A trainload of Republicans on their way to a pricey retreat hit a garbage truck. My friend Russ calls that karma...."

February 2, 2018

"A trainload of Republicans on their way to a pricey retreat hit a garbage truck. My friend Russ calls that karma...."

"Of COURSE sorry the truck driver died.... A rather thoughtless tweet from me concerning the train-truck crash, for which I apologize (if one is necessary). It should be pointed out, too, that those Republican politicians, who can be heartless when they vote, immediately got out to help."

Stephen King tweets and then tries to right himself with an apology "if one is necessary," which perhaps it's not, since word is the truck driver did not die, but is merely injured.

Molly said...: (eaglebeak)

Someone did die--it's just that it wasn't the driver, it was the passenger.

In any case, it was a stupid, petty thing for King to say, and he jolly well should apologize.; 2/2/18, 5:02 PM

As to the tweet, what can I say. Democrats are scum. They cannot be reasoned with, debated with, or negotiated with. They can only be suppressed.; 2/2/18, 5:07 PM
Drago said...: Stephen King is a lefty and therefore he automatically cares more about people than you do.

Not individuals, of course. Heck they can be rounded up by the millions and shoved into mass graves if thats what it takes to realize lefty heaven on earth.

No, no. Stephen King, like all lefties, cares about The People.

Leland said...: I thought the fatality was not the driver but a passenger in the truck.

Anyway, I have to admit that absent the fatality, the setup of everything would be great for light hearted humor. It's a GOP Trainwreck! Or GOP Train hits the dumps. Whatever. Nothing to get all worked up about.

I rather see the various news having some fun with that event, then the various stuff they been spraying on our legs and calling it rain.; 2/2/18, 5:12 PM

The Godfather said...: Several years ago I was on a train that struck a vehicle (a pick-up truck, I think) at a crossing, killing the woman driver of the vehicle (she drove around the closed crossing gates and tried to cross the tracks). I don't think the passengers felt the impact at all, but we were aware of the locomotive braking before and after the impact. I suppose passengers might notice a train hitting a bigger vehicle, like a garbage truck. The funny thing is, I don't know or care if the poor woman who died was a Republican or a Democrat, a liberal, moderate, conservative, or apolitical, White, Black, Hispanic, or Other, legal or illegal. But then I'm not a best-selling author, so who cares what I think?; 2/2/18, 5:21 PM
Oso Negro said...: I can’t wait to hear what Chuck and Inga have to say about this topic! And I am eagerly awaiting the witty repartee that follows their every utterance.

Achilles said...: They will have to be defeated. That is all.; 2/2/18, 5:24 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: It's important for Republicans to (pretend to) care about whomever was in the truck, because they're allowed to (pretend to) feel remorse about hitting someone with a car, just not about the millions that they want to pull the plug on so that they can pay off billionaire tax rebates instead. Which is somehow infinitely more compassionate.

Republicans simply have a mental defect that makes them think that distributing more money to billionaires is morally superior to keeping those priced out of the health care market from dying or going without care.

They are so paranoid that they think the government will kill untold tens of millions if they're allowed to keep a few million from dying through lack of medicine.

Weird people. Technically they're amoral. But it comes to them from warped priorities and paranoias that overwhelm what would be a normal person's sense of morality. So they demand to get a pass. But a decent, intelligent people don't give it to them.; 2/2/18, 5:27 PM
Michelle Dulak Thomson said...: "The millions they want to pull the plug on," TTR? You mean abortion victims? Surely not. Though "pulling the plug" is a little mild for "chopping up babies into small pieces and extracting them bit by bit," anyway.

Look, no one is "priced out of the health care market." No one at all. Everyone, everywhere in this country, has access to Medicaid. You have to be poor to get it, but you can get it.; 2/2/18, 5:36 PM
Drago said...: TTR: "It's important for Republicans to (pretend to) care about whomever was in the truck,..."

It's important for democrats who have been caught laughing at events where people get killed to very very quickly change the subject.

It's also very helpful in changing the subject if the democrat can actually transfer the guilt from a democrat laughing at someone losing their lives to the republicans.; 2/2/18, 5:37 PM

Paul said...: What Drago said..... is correct.

No matter what a Republican would do, or conservative for that matter, the Democrat says it was merely crocodile tears. But then look at Democrat actions, not words. They do.... nothing.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: "The millions they want to pull the plug on," TTR? You mean abortion victims? Surely not.

Of course not. And they can't be "victims", anyway - seeing as how the vast majority of them don't have brains that can sense pleasure, pain or self-awareness anyway. But who needs those things! Republicans couldn't care less about the hallmarks of what allows for people to participate in the human experience. To them, people are either just cogs in a wheel or fetal sacs in a jar. Like in The Matrix or The Handmaid's Tale

Of course, they could always offer their own bodies up to incubate the pre-humans if they wanted to. But they seem to get off on the creepiness of controlling other people's bodies.

And it doesn't occur to them that brain dead old corpses aren't "victims" when they're no longer incubated, either.

Other than all that, your completely immoral and thoughtless attempt at a point was about what I'd expect.

Though "pulling the plug" is a little mild for "chopping up babies into small pieces and extracting them bit by bit," anyway.

You have as rich a fantasy life as you have a graphic imagination and carelessness with the language. I realize that Republicans have to lie and believe falsehoods but it's nice to see just how slippery you are with your words and the basic facts.

Look, no one is "priced out of the health care market." No one at all. Everyone, everywhere in this country, has access to Medicaid. You have to be poor to get it, but you can get it.

And you have to be a Republican apparently to realize that millions of working poor are priced out of the market but still not poor enough for Medicaid. That's why tens of millions were able to get coverage through the ACA. Again, facts. Facts: Meet Republican. Republican, Meet the facts.

Glad to introduce the two of you.; 2/2/18, 5:44 PM
YoungHegelian said...: Was anyone ever under the illusion that Stephen King had a conscience or even much of a personality ?

Your policies kill people.

You justify your deadly policies on the fact of, oh look - Russia!

Oh look - Venezuela!

So people are right to point out that you are immoral people who are too concerned about the nonsense idea that policies that kill people is cool because other failed countries were not right-wing enough. Or something.

It's like a paranoid schizophrenic pleading the insanity defense at his trial, by saying that the elderly old man he stabbed was really a monster.

At least in the defendant's case, people know he's crazy. But Republicans seem to think that others believe they're sane.; 2/2/18, 5:50 PM
Bill Peschel said...: King's intelligence is reflected in his comments, like this one:

"I don't want to sound like an ad, a public service ad on TV, but the fact is if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don't, then you've got, the Army, Iraq, I don't know, something like that. It's, it's not as bright. So, that's my little commercial for that."

I like King the writer, but King the public intellectual comes off as someone you'd mute on Facebook for your own piece of mind.; 2/2/18, 5:50 PM

Well, I'm sure a lot of people don't think you contribute all that much, morally speaking, to life. But do try to get over yourself and these fantasies you harbor. The interest you project onto others of your own demise is greatly exaggerated. Obama did nothing to increase the "death rate" of Medicare recipients. But by "try to" I suppose you mean "spend like drunken sailors at government expense on unproven interventions." Yep, that's a good way to get an equitable and morally defensible system.

Tomorrow is busy as well, abusing undocumented Democrats, cheating welfare recipients out of their monthly checks and gleefully denying healthcare to the poor. There are elderly folks to mistreat and the whole LGBT crowd to demean.

Perhaps we can discuss your point of view someday over a glass of pinot noir in a pleasant restaurant away from the riff-raff? We might even benefit a peasant by leaving a nice tip (trickle down you know).; 2/2/18, 5:58 PM
Jack Klompus said...: It wasn't an attempt at a joke. It was a statement of fact. People hate you. Literally hate you. If you suffered a horrible, painful fate I guarantee there are few if any people that would do anything other than cheer. You really are that much of a repulsive, cretinous pile of shit.

"Should the government pay for prayer, too?"

If it would effectively bring on some kind of divine intervention to cause you to fall in the path of a speeding train and disintegrate you into the steaming pile of pus and shit that make up your existence? I think most people would vote for any tax increase that could make that happen, sure.; 2/2/18, 5:58 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: It wasn't an attempt at a joke. It was a statement of fact. People hate you.

People?

Why don't you speak for your own species.

But I love the presumptuousness behind your collectivism. On behalf of how many other billions of humans do you speak partisan falsehood to power? Or is it just your obvious superiority/inferiority complex - where you're so insecure that you think only you and your fellow lunatic Republicans qualify as human?

No, humans care about each other, respect reality, and are ok with their own limitations. But as a Republican, you lack all three. You are basically a mental condition in search of a political project to channel it through.

Other than that, your inability to actually make a point, rather than just a bunch of profane invective, tells everyone that your mind is working just as poorly as most Republicans' minds are. Maybe put it all on Twitter and pay off a porn star to keep quiet about the mediocre sex you pestered her to have with you a decade ago.

No effort involved in getting Republicans angry about the fact of how bankrupt of integrity and credibility they are. It should only naturally upset them.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: Why do you call it hijacking, Francisco?

It was a thread about how most of the bubble here won't understand that King made a basically defensible joke about how Republicans are a garbage party. But still couldn't drive correctly. They drove, head-on, crashed into the symbol for how low-quality their party is.

And then, after the fact, King learned about a regrettable death.

So obviously, the Holier Than Thou Republicans finally get a chance to spew venom and the fake compassion that they're relegated to.

It's boring. But not as boring as how difficult it is for them to understand why people feel this way about them and their party. (Because that's how they feel about most Americans - dividing them up into a hierarchy where the vast majority are left at the bottom).

Trumpit said...: Never apologize to your mortal enemy. He will stab you in the back at his first opportunity. That is politics 101. There is nothing cynical about it; it is a matter of self-preservation. Schadenfreude is a feeling of pleasure at the bad things that happen to other people. But when the "other people" are bad people then you should be happy when they burn to death in a fiery plane crash, or are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I don't think I could go on if bad people didn't die, and one hopes in despair and pain. When these heartless bastards, who have done some much harm to innocents, die peacefully in their sleep, is when I begin to cry due to their lack of just punishment. I'm glad that they are dead, gone, and forgotten, but they should have suffered commensurate with their evil acts. They knew what they were doing by lying, cheating, stealing, and killing others. These shameless devils deserve not a scintilla of pity, not from me or anyone who has a heart.; 2/2/18, 8:54 PM
Big Mike said...: @Paul, you could have gone further. In 1916 Wilson won reelection on the slogan "He kept us out of war," while secretly plotting to get America involved in World War I. Wilson's second inauguration was March 4, 1917; the US declaration of war was on April 6th.

You might also have noted that the Democrats actively strive to keep blacks poor and undereducated as a matter of policy -- disguised as "helping" them -- resulting in high death rates due to homicide among young black males. To quote from this article in Huffington Post, "Homicide is far and away the leading cause of death for young black men ..."

I do believe the douchebag quoted here is saying that he thinks more people without health care need to die. And that there should be more deadly accidents.

The Republican Agenda reveals itself.

The best way to stop depleting one's resources through overpopulating the human petri dish experiment is the education of women. It's a truism throughout biology that you either have more offspring to offset their low survival advantage or fewer offspring that a smarter woman can provide a greater survival advantage to.

Nope. Some people actually live life and can still manage to have a relevant take on it decades. But some people - those who can only do one or the other - wouldn't know.

You'd better hope there are still billionaires around after Red Dawn happens. Otherwise you guys are fucked!

Rosenstein is going to resign or be fired then indicted soon for among other things perjury, conspiracy, and fraud.

Right. Fraud. Methinks someone took enough mushrooms to convince himself that the hallucination where he went to law school actually happened. Lol.

Just stick with calling him a conspiracist. It makes you look more credible to keep the tinfoil hat on without adding a law school grad's cap and gown to the garb. (Difficult to fit a cap on over a tinfoil hat).

Then a new person will be appointed and a special prosecutor will be appointed.

Many of you are gun fetishists, it's true - going so far as to pride yourselves on having more guns than teeth. But even though you lack normal human emotions you don't lack normal human impulse control. You know that going on a murder spree will generally not work out for you. So you keep it in check. You people are uptight enough to keep a lot of things in check. Repressed. Anal retentive. Uncaring but not un-self-interested. Even though more of you do a poorer job looking after your own self-interests than the people you hate do.

That's the point. Not going to be much of a government left in right-wing post-apocalyptic land.

Most of the billionaires are on the left.

And yet, you keep doing all you can to enrich them. Why?

Oh, that's right. Because you hate poor white Republicans and don't think any need of theirs matters so much as their false pride at presuming they're as self-sufficient in a modern society as is a billionaire.

After that they compare emergency apocalypse pantries. Are they both equally stocked up on victuals?

They then retire to the back yard to shoot up some squirrels, run over the dens and nests of cute woodland creatures with their monster trucks, and talk about how hard Obama tried to keep their violent, destructive lifestyles from being actively enjoyed.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: Sorry you’ve missed out on male attention for the majority of your adult life, gee I wonder why.

Because her gender identity disorder left her without enough femininity to attract one. She identifies with violence and harshness.; 2/2/18, 10:23 PM

well, they're basically all jumping aboard the Trump Train. Which will be interesting to watch derail.

Crazy Train, said Ozzy.; 2/2/18, 10:24 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: "Sorry you’ve missed out on male attention for the majority of your adult life, gee I wonder why."

Nope, actually I haven't missed out at all. And I'm getting it now. Unlike you!; 2/2/18, 10:25 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: Exiled, I have no need to tell commenters here about my current relationships, unlike you. Why do you think anyone cares about you and that you have a “man”? Is that some huge accomplishment for you? I’ve had plenty of men, more than I really even wanted, I have no need to convince anyone here though, lol, unlike you apparently.; 2/2/18, 10:26 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: I think Republican mating rituals are as charming as those of the preying mantis.

The female chews off the head of the male after he's done.

Republicans, for you. Everything to them is a matter of material resources. They're really bad at relationships. And other natural things.; 2/2/18, 10:26 PM

So what happens when you have the big conversation with him about how you have no actual personality and were just in it for the attention?

That will be an interesting day.

Do your relationships come with a built-in expiration date?

Do you tweet him thousands of hate comments afterward? Or force each other to sign NDAs?

I'm thinking Trump is becoming the new standard for Republican relationships. They must seek to emulate him. They certainly identify with his sociopathy and narcissism.; 2/2/18, 10:30 PM

You can always tell when Bitchmo has been drinking, he comes out with the transphobic slurs. Meldown/Deletion is the next step.; 2/2/18, 10:30 PM

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: I remember in grad school once a mentor of mine and I were in an office setting. We were going to meet with someone who had a Siamese Fighting Fish in a small bowl on his/ her desk.

Before they returned, we discussed the care of the fish. You can't put mirrors in front of them, because they'll attack the image of themselves. That's how aggressive and violent they are.

I said, "OH. Sort of like Republicans."; 2/2/18, 10:33 PM
Sebastian said...: "tries to right himself with an apology "if one is necessary," which perhaps it's not, since word is the truck driver did not die" Ah, yes, mere injury would not have required an apology. Nor would harm to any GOPers. Karma and all that.

Once upon a time, progs at least tried to hide their vile hostility. As King shows: not anymore.; 2/2/18, 10:34 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: Is that some huge accomplishment for you?"

Having been married and having grandchildren is a huge accomplishment for you, since you crow about it constantly.What a hypocrite you are. You can brag about your personal life, but nobody else can.

Ritmo: I'll have you know I had an hourglass figure (well, in my prime, I did. I need to lose 10 pounds but alas, middle age) and Slavic cheekbones. If Fauxahontas can brag about her Native American cheekbones, surely I can brag about my Czech bone structure
:)

You talk about my supposed repression, but I notice you're here on many more Saturday nights than I am. Where are all these wild, uninhibited non-American girls you're so fond of? Hell, what is a young buck like you doing here on Friday night?; 2/2/18, 10:38 PM

Inga...Allie Oop said...: “Having been married and having grandchildren is a huge accomplishment for you, since you crow about it constantly.What a hypocrite you are. You can brag about your personal life, but nobody else can.”

I bring it up to you as often as I get a chance to because I know it bugs you. You brag about enjoying attacking me here on these threads, guess what payback is a bitch, isn’t it?; 2/2/18, 10:41 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “You do it constantly, idiot.”

Really? I haven’t mentioned my personal relationships here unti today. I have mentioned my family, as have others here. You’re a jealous old bitch and the time has come to give you back what you dish out.; 2/2/18, 10:44 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: Actually, it doesn't,Inga. My siblings have grandchildren. I love them. I love my nieces and nephews. I email my biological daughter and will be visiting her in March. I have met my biological grandchildren. I am at peace with the choices I have made.

I love my extended family. There is plenty of love in my life. I wish you could see our family gatherings. And my boyfriend (I wish there was a better term for a 59 year old man, but there isn't.)

What is pathetic is your attempt to use your own children and children as tools to make another woman feel bad. That is shitty. And, no, it doesn't work. I see right through you.; 2/2/18, 10:48 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “I see right through you.”

You see nothing but your hatred for those who you oppose. You don’t deserve an ounce of my respect or pity. You are the meanest, most vile female commenter on these threads here at Althouse. I enjoy feeding you your own bile.; 2/2/18, 10:51 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: And you know, Inga, I'm willing to admit your extended family loves you. I said I'm willing to give up on the personal attacks - but your response was "fuck you."; 2/2/18, 10:52 PM
FIDO said...: Holy smoke!

I have never seen old Toothless post so much dreck in a single post.

He's like an anti-canary. When he starts saying so much, it's an indication of how incredibly bad this is for his side.

Does my heart good. Bad people, no matter their political flavor, should be punished when they do bad things. Only this time, there is no Holder or Lynch to avoid the chickens from coming home to roost.

So go ahead and excoriate Republicans, sir. I see it for what it is: the desperate assertions of someone seeking something ANYTHING to give him the slightest bit of moral equivalence.

It isn't there. And since the Guard Memo and TDS, when you have Bernstein of all people demanding LESS transparency, it's amazing how many looks askance your side is going to get.

It's going to be very bad, sir. You should join the side of the rule of law, because it is your only protection if Republicans ever start to rule like your side has the last 8 years.; 2/2/18, 10:52 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: Inga, you don't hurt me in the slightest. You can't.; 2/2/18, 10:53 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “I said I'm willing to give up on the personal attacks - but your response was "fuck you."”

You just yesterday, once again, bragged how much you enjoy attacking me personally on these threads. Don’t expect me to cut you any slack. You stop the personal attacks and so will I . But if you continue to brag how much you love attacking me, I’ll rip you to shreds.; 2/2/18, 10:55 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “Inga, you don't hurt me in the slightest. You can't.”

Oh yes I can and I have. And I will continue to unless you change your ways. I don’t attack people on these threads unless they attack me first.; 2/2/18, 10:57 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: You talk about my supposed repression, but I notice you're here on many more Saturday nights than I am.

There are more nights for...having sex?... than just Saturdays, for those of us who are capable of getting past the second date.

You should try it sometime!

Seriously, I don't think you're a bad person. But I think you believe that if any male or female knows that you're not a sociopath they will abandon you.; 2/2/18, 10:59 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: Oh, hell, I will continue to attack you politically. But personally - no, I really don't enjoy that. But if you get personal I will too. If you hold off on the personal attacks so will I.

Like I said, I have plenty of people who love me. I guess you do too. So let's give that shit a break, OK? If you continue to attack me on personal/sexual grounds, do you think I will let you get away with it?; 2/2/18, 11:01 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: "There are more nights for...having sex?... than just Saturdays, for those of us who are capable of getting past the second date."

LOL! Ive been in a relationship since 2009. Far past a second date, little boy.

Saturday night doesn't mean much - if you're on welfare. If you have a regular job, yeah, you cherish those Saturday nights.; 2/2/18, 11:04 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: "Oh yes I can and I have."

Well, actually, no,Inga,because a mature woman doesn't get "hurt" by somebody on the Internet who she's never met and never will meet. But see my comment at 11:01 pm.; 2/2/18, 11:07 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: Saturday night doesn't mean much - if you're on welfare. If you have a regular job, yeah, you cherish those Saturday nights.

I make my own hours. Ask me what I did last Monday.

I then left town on a Tuesday night for the weekend.

You have very little imagination, other than what you project into your politics. And you're bitchy even when people are nice to you.

Like Rottweilers on crazy pills, Republicans don't know when to let go.; 2/2/18, 11:07 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: I tell my workplace what to do for the most part. Not vice versa.

It's what happens when you're not a Republican and you actually achieve this thing in a workplace called "respect."

No wonder you crazies are so addicted to money. So little sense of any self-worth.

Apparently for good reason.; 2/2/18, 11:09 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “If you continue to attack me on personal/sexual grounds, do you think I will let you get away with it?”

No, but I never bring up personal things or even insult you, unless you’ve done so first, which you have done many many times in the past. You have a mean streak and enjoy piling on with some of the worst haters here. If you continue to attack me personally or join in others attacks, expect me come back at you. I’m sick of your nasty shit.; 2/2/18, 11:09 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: Ritmo said something, I guess. I didn't read it. Because you're boring.

You bore me, little boy; 2/2/18, 11:10 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: Inga, I asked you a question. Do you want to continue with the personal shit or not? If you won't, I won't. If you do, I will. Your choice.

Ritmo will get personal no matter what,since he has no honor. If you want to continue it too,well, OK.; 2/2/18, 11:13 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: You bore me, little boy.

The truth bores you. So who's the immature one?

Geez, I guess you really do deserve to be an unwanted parent.

Inga's right. You really are an inherently nasty bitch. You make something up about someone, and then complain that their correction of you wasn't "exciting" enough.

If you do have any family that care for you it's s mistake or a shame. I don't doubt you "love" them, in your self-centered way. I doubt it's returned, though.; 2/2/18, 11:15 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: Do you want to continue with the personal shit or not?

Inga, do it. She has the gracelessness of a fucking pig.

She only does what suits her, and her unhinged, out-of-whack ego.; 2/2/18, 11:16 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: Ritmo, you have no honor. Your opinion is worth nothing.

I was asking Inga a question. Don't jump in and answer for her.; 2/2/18, 11:18 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: Ritmo will get personal no matter what,since he has no honor.

You are a real piece of shit. I offered you at least four or five rounds of relatively civil small-talk and you turned around with just some really nasty personal wallops - I suppose to prove your point and your excitement that a 59-year old still bothers to make time for you.

Really pathetic. Get over yourself and start acting your age. Some people achieve wisdom, and move beyond the thrill of getting off at basic night-time attention.

I guess you have to be in top form for Mr. Friday Night to bother with you. I understand. He knows you have so little else going for you. You have to channel all your energy into this wild and wonderful and rare "date night."

Enjoy it. Sounds like he won't.; 2/2/18, 11:19 PM
