Republicans Exit Stage Right!

An Amtrak train carrying House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and other Republicans crashed into a garbage truck. The definition of irony. One person lost his life. 

There was a fatal train accident in Virginia today. Looks like irony managed to hit the Republicans once again.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Rep. Jason Lewis (R-MN), Rep. Jeff Faso (R-NY), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) and many others were onboard the train.

A garbage truck was hit by the Amtrak train killing a worker. The injuries varies.

Lewis, a conservative lawmaker from Minnesota was injured. The members were heading to the annual Republican retreat when the accident happened.

Seems like all the delays on passing infrastructure came to head. Mind you, Republicans have been asking for it for years.

No, I don't want to see any of our lawmakers injured or killed. But given how they passed these ridiculous laws and rolling back regulations, it seems like they caught a "Jesus Take The Wheel" moment.

Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Ralph Northam, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) were notified.

Goober lawmaker Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is bouncing. The Republican led the Benghazi and Clinton email kookspiracy. He is returning back to legal sector. The Republican is considering a federal bench position if Trump appoints him to it.

The NTSB will evaluate whether the truck was stuck on the tracks or failed to obey signals and crossing gates.

More Republican lawmakers are bouncing out of Congress.

Now it's 21 Republicans retiring or forced out of office.

The biggest shock to leave is that kookspiracy nut Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC).

He announced he will not seek reelection. He is possibly making a move for the TV circuit. He was a frequent guest on Fox News. He was fueling the Benghazi and Clinton email scandals. I meant distractions.

One from New Jersey who faces a stronger Democratic challenger and the other one from Pennsylvania who was caught up in an affair with a staffer.

Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ) is exiting as well.

Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ) was one of the few Republicans who voted against the Jobs and Tax Cuts Act. He is a moderate and was facing a potential challenger in a state that leaned heavily on Hillary Clinton.

Also Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) is closing in on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in a hypothetical matchup.

The Blue Wave. The House of Representatives could be in play and Democrats hope to mount a strong offense against Trump and Republicans.

Could it be the return of Democratic control?

Don't hope too hard, the Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans.

The Democrats continue to have this notion to lean to the right. These lawmakers really iritate me. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), and newly appointed Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) are fucking up the progressive agenda.

They're pussies.

They do not stand for the people who voted their asses in.

And they could cost the Democrats a chance to take back the Senate.
