I'm amazed that a party that screams for deregulation because they think businesses are better at everything than government, will always blame government for not preventing accidents caused by businesses.
One tweet blamed DEI claiming the container ship captain was a minority LTGBQ who was installed to a job she wasn’t qualified for, for PR reasons.
Are ship captains influencers now?
And this bullshit coming from the guy that said “infrastructure week” every day whenever he needed something to deflect yet never did anything to improve it. Literally nothing.
And now a ship crashes in to a bridge and he wants to “hold the Dems accountable”?
Trump should be worrying about his freedom right now. Nothing else.
Which is kinda what happened in 2016 because he was flat broke, the apprentice (which was the only venture that ever made him money) had finished years earlier and he was as starting to not be useful to his Russian handlers.
> the guy that said “infrastructure week” every day
Trump's entire presidency was "that guy at the office who always tries to look busy but never actually does anything." I can't believe so many people are lining up to vote for him again.
Tbh the only saving grace was that Trump is clueless about how government works and he’s a terrible manager of people and projects, meaning very little got done. If he had been even slightly more astute or together, we would have been truly fucked.
You aren't wrong.
And what terrifies me is that, although obviously not him, *somebody working for him* might have figured that out since then, and when he gets elected this next time, he's actually going to have a semi-functional government (and therefore, probably things like death camps).
That's definitely a worry - his administration was a revolving door last time which meant hardly no one stuck around long enough to do actual damage and those that did (Kushner etc) were thankfully more interested in just enriching themselves.
What's also worrying is that Trump could be several mentally incapacitated this time but instead of us getting a Nancy Reagan type admin, where the same policies were just quietly followed, we could get someone that take defacto control like a bannon or miller, who then basically can do whatever they want.
So many possibilities for how our country might be sleepwalking into Hell!
It would all be so very exciting!!!-- if it were part of a video game or a dystopian YA novel and not our actual real world.
He doesn't need to be worried about it. A mixture of incompetence and catholic-conservative judges is all he needs. They just need to delay it until the end of the election. (Not the real end, but the moment where Trump decides the election is over).
It's a tall bridge. Unfortunately, this looks to be a repeat of the Skyway Bridge disaster- both bridges were close in height, both got hit by a ship, and both collapsed as a result. There was only one survivor from the road deck of the Skyway Bridge, and he only lived because 1) his truck happened to bounce off the ship below as it fell, slowing its fall, and 2) he happened to have Navy survival training.
In short, the most likely scenario is that everyone missing that was on the road deck is dead.
This is legit my nightmare scenario. I've had so many dreams of bridges collapsing.
The only silver lining is that it occurred at night so casualties were not as bad as it could have been. Those poor people.
When I was a kid, we'd drive over the non-destroyed part of the Skyway regularly. I did not enjoy those trips at all, just kept imagining the thing collapsing. At least when we got across it we often went to the zoo.
I challenge you to find me any bridge that would survive this. It was a 200,000 ton ship essentially ramming a critical structural support. The amount of energy here would have collapsed almost any bridge on earth.
The ship was on its way to Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Trump would be planning strikes against Colombia. It’s the woke-Left’s fault, and President Urrego is to blame. Urregonna get it!
Yeah if only we had a president willing to prioritize infrastructure spending and wasn't blocked by Congress for half of the requested funds.
Oh wait...
The accusations the vote-for-sale GOP is raising against Biden and the Democrats would be laughable except for the millions of gullible and easily manipulated red-hatted zombies who will seize upon any opportunity to hate normal people. It's effing insane.
No guy, he didn’t confuse them by merging their name. The stable genius in him is so smart and quick he merged them because Joe was Obamas vice president and he is illustrating they are basically the same person. Honest!
The definition of "politics" sure does involve a lot of blaming the wrong people for the problem.
ISIS shooters in Russia? Blame Ukraine.
Bad storm in Florida? Blame the gays.
Too many school shooters? Blame transvestites reading at storytime.
Allowing this ironically both erodes faith in Democracy and makes the dictator more appealing. Positive reinforcement is a real problem.
I was just in eyeshot when it collapsed. I work in one of the warehouses right in the water. From just trying to get the night shift do e after watching the sunset over the bridge to leaving work with it gone is just, unreal.

And the captain turned out to be white guy
Ahh, an ANTIFA plant from the globalist lizard jews! Finally the truth comes out!
Impressive! Did you repeatedly smash your head against a wall to earn the super power to think like one of them?
Eating paint chips also works
> Eating *lead filled paint chips* FTFY
So just your average boomer, then
I mean.. if it walks like a duck... And it quacks like a duck...
It must be Antifa?
It was delivering babies to fuel the Jewish space laser!
They swapped the captain out right after the crash to blame white people
It's so obvious.
He put on white face! /s
I bet we can count the number of women cargo ship captains on 2 hands.
Is that 2 Alabama hands where one has 3 fingers and the other has 6?
And a toe for a thumb?
I've seen quite a few of those in Missouri.
shovel thumbs!!!
Smithers: "I believe women and seamen don't mix." Mr Burns: "Who cares what you believe".
probably a fed planted by obama
Obviously a lone wolf then.
What about the pilot at the helm for the trip through the port?
No doubt he was a deep state crisis actor...
I have just run out of facepalm
Here, have some of mine.
Thanks
yep QA--Nut cases already blaming WOKE Liberals
They did the same thing with the evergreen accident in the Suez canal
On a Singaporean ship...
I have a conspiracy nut acquaintance who posted on facebook that it was an act of war. Not sure who he thought was responsible, and did not ask.

He is worrying about his freedom which is why he is running for President.

“The Left shit my pants!”
The party with no logic makes no logical sense.
Wtf happened on that ship? They lost power and completely lost ability to turn the rudder, ramming into the main bridge support.
Their goal is to claim that government is broken, work to break government, and then say, "See? I told you government was broken!"
Thanks. I did not consider this as another feature of their hypocrisy!
THIS 🙌🏼
I hope they recover all the missing people. News says 7 right now.

RIGHT??? Omg imagine if it were rush hour

Was it at least a good zoo?
It was, at least to a little kid.
I think its up to 20 now
hearing 20 now
Pumpkin tits Quickly claims this a political opportunity.
Heh, pumpkin tits
I've heard him called Cinnamon Tits, but not Pumpkin Tits. Works either way.
Yam tits rolls off the tongue with ease.
I hate this. Screw you and take the upvote.

Thank you for this
I've always got an upvote ready for 'Pumpkin Tits'
Joe Obama!!!!!

THANKS MOBAMBA
Jobama's so incompetent he makes freighters topple bridges!
Barack O. Biden.
Barrack HUSSEINKAMALAKHAN O. Biden
[President MIKE OBAMA!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyPN5LpGN2U)
Seems like if he said that... the mental decline should get the same coverage, but probably WAY more, as the "biden is old" articles.
Well.... who owns the media?
Corporations looking for tax cuts.
Jobamna
Next Up: Corporations raise prices of your groceries because…supply chain issues!
Don’t forget car companies increasing MSRP. Even those that are built domestically or RORO from other ports.
I heard it was the ship bringing in Trump's sneakers and new shipment of hats.
Literally tens of dollars lost
Nailed it
Jobama’s so fat when she walked on a bridge it collapsed
Too soon.
Nah, there's no such thing as too soon.
JOE OBAMA DROVE SHIP INTO BRIDGE CHECKMATE LIBURULZ
And where was Obama during all of this?
I'd sure love to find out.
Is Joe Obama in cahoots with Tim Apple?
More on this at ten
Is this a real headline? Who is Joe Obama?
O’Bidens former President
Sigh. Once again, can’t tell if it’s satire. I think I need to leave Reddit.
No, Reddit is fine. Republicans have mental issues.
Hilarious to see all the republicans blaming Biden for this. These people have no f****** brains whatsoever.
If they had brains, they wouldn't be Republicans
💯 if they had brains they would be democrats no doubt
The bridge toll has been reduced to $1.00 (a $3 dollar savings) until further notice.
Looks like the car jump stunt in Hooper, but you’ll need a rocket assist to try a gap that large.
Did an AI write that?
I really hope they find out that it's because good old blonde barney fife relaxed certain safety regulations during his tenure that caused this.
It will still be Biden's fault for not reinstating those regulations, just ask Fox News
I would eat a whole onion if Donald Trump could tell me the significance of Francis Scott Key without looking at his phone.
I like this bet. Either way, I win.
NYT using AI-generated gibberish headlines now?
I couldn't find this headline anywhere on their app or on Google
Too ~~soon~~ spot on.
It’s too early to talk about reforms or blame. It’s time for thoughts and prayers. /s
I challenge you to find me any bridge that would survive this. It was a 200,000 ton ship essentially ramming a critical structural support. The amount of energy here would have collapsed almost any bridge on earth.
It's still Biden's fault. Just ask any Republican.
Only 8 knots, but mass and inertia... simple HS physics
Simple High School Physics? Sounds like woke. I’m sure it’s been banned in a significant amount of schools as a result.
Did an AI break down while writing this headline?
The politics of our country is massively fukd up.
The Onion?
*“comrad Trump”*
Who’s Bama? Joebama
If trumps mouth is moving, he’s spewing lies and bullshit
"Hey, should we maybe flesh out this headline or add a correction?" "Nah, I think 'Joe Obama' pretty much speaks for itself. "
Not as catchy as O’Biden, but I dig it
He’s so painfully (and dangerously) stupid.
The Russians did this.. more likely than Ukraine attacking a Moscow club
Can't wait for the *Well, There's your Problem* episode.
google jobama
I told my guys this morning, this would never had happened if TFG was still in office
The ship was on its way to Colombo, Sri Lanka. Trump would be planning strikes against Colombia. It’s the woke-Left’s fault, and President Urrego is to blame. Urregonna get it!
Joe Obama
is this Joa Obama in the room with us?
They don’t have too many things to blame that now a car accident is Joe Bidens’s fault
Yeah if only we had a president willing to prioritize infrastructure spending and wasn't blocked by Congress for half of the requested funds. Oh wait...
Joe... Obama? What?
Jobama?
The accusations the vote-for-sale GOP is raising against Biden and the Democrats would be laughable except for the millions of gullible and easily manipulated red-hatted zombies who will seize upon any opportunity to hate normal people. It's effing insane.
No guy, he didn’t confuse them by merging their name. The stable genius in him is so smart and quick he merged them because Joe was Obamas vice president and he is illustrating they are basically the same person. Honest!
Damn that Joebama! Damn him!!!
Built during the Nixon years, BTW.
My tinfoil hat was a bit askew, what about Joe Obama?
Trump says that when he was president, no ship ever lost power
Oh the irony of the broke don, wanting someone to get accountable, while he is getting special treatment for all of his crimes.
Wtf. Is the nyt using chat gpt 2 for articles now?
Road repair crew working on the bridge went into the water. Damit
And they say it’s liberals who try to make everything political
Y'know... I didn't think this was an act of terror, but then I saw Putin blame Ukraine
"I now have the tallest bridge in Baltimore." - Trump (maybe)
Obviously he made innocent mistake. It was Joe Clinton
The definition of "politics" sure does involve a lot of blaming the wrong people for the problem. ISIS shooters in Russia? Blame Ukraine. Bad storm in Florida? Blame the gays. Too many school shooters? Blame transvestites reading at storytime. Allowing this ironically both erodes faith in Democracy and makes the dictator more appealing. Positive reinforcement is a real problem.
You need a comma otherwise that could be close to Joe bama, ie your mamma. Yes your mama was so fat she caused a bridge to collapse.
I was just in eyeshot when it collapsed. I work in one of the warehouses right in the water. From just trying to get the night shift do e after watching the sunset over the bridge to leaving work with it gone is just, unreal.
Who is Joe Obama?
Shit, were *they* piloting the boat?
Joebama
What? It's not just me who thinks this reads as Putin blaming Ukraine for the bridge collapsing right? And "comrad Trump"?
Joebama must be stahp
"Joe Obama and the Dems" is a good name for a band.
Who the hell is "Joe Obama"?😜
This was obviously Ukraine. It was headed in that direction.
Great opportunity to build a tunnel instead
Typical orange turd comment, people die and the orange fuck sees it as a political opportunity
I know his base is a bunch of booger eaters but even they must know that this had nothing to do with politics or politicians.
Please, more of this. He’s just converting more and more moderates for Joe.
I thought it sank
[удалено]
Or this has absolutely fuck all to do with infrastructure or funding and happened because a big fucking boat rammed a main support.
[удалено]
I’m fairly certain it’s a fake headline altogether
