Discussion: Republicans Cassidy, Flake, Dunn Aid The Wounded After GOP Train Crash

I hope they’ll visit the wounded in hospital to explain how the cost of their care is a burden on their employers.

There’s something about a party of right-wing millionaire politicians riding a train over a blue-collar worker that seems straight out of Ayn Rand.

The GOP and a literal train wreck. Huh.

Speaking of crashing, Wolff’s popularity is sending him over the edge

A Garbage truck
Thanks trump

One big reason stuff like this happens is that congress refuses to adequately fund Amtrak. Thanks for helping out with the wounded, guys!

The important GOP talking point here is that no Democrats came to the rescue.

So nice that they can be human on an individual basis, wouldn’t it be just wonderful if they used their positions of power to extend that help to the millions both in America and across the globe who need assistance with healthcare?

Sincere admiration for anyone of any party no matter what else they’ve done in life who went to help the injured. Takes a cool head and some guts.

Republicans Cassidy, Flake, Dunn Aid The Wounded After GOP Train Crash

Didn’t we already know the GOP was a train wreck waiting to happen?

Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona said seeing the lawmakers tending to the injured reminded him of the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise at a GOP baseball practice last June.

“I thought then I never want to experience a day like this again,” Flake said. “Unfortunately, it came too soon.”

Hey Mr. Flake, “NEWS FLASH!!”, even though you aren’t experiencing more shootings, they are happening EVERY SINGLE DAY. And will continue to happen as long as you and your ilk are earning A’s on your NRA report cards. SMH….

“The wounded”? How about “the injured”?

“Wounded” implies intent to harm, doesn’t it?

particularly if they were also in the incident and therefore could reasonably be shaken by it as well.

Absolutely. It’s a special and demanding form of helping.

I wonder how much Cassidy and wife will charge them?

It does sound odd, but appears to be accurate according to M-W:

Definition of wound

1 a: an injury to the body (as from violence, accident, or surgery) that typically involves laceration or breaking of a membrane (such as the skin) and usually damage to underlying tissues. [emphasis added]

I’m glad to know, that when in the moment, they will help those who need it.

Then also, karma.
