This amazing image is of the tanker crash and fire on 270 near Dublin. I believe the blaze to the left, at the bottom of the embankment, is the tanker-trailer. The truck cab remains were on the overpass. I had a scary altercation with a tanker the night before, on I-70, heading East. I was in the center lane, driving @ 62 mph because it was raining. This tanker came up on my rear, and tailgated me for 3 miles, flashing his brights. It was terrifying, he then passed me--on the right, and cut back over, forcing me to brake to avoid getting clipped by him, and then two more semis roared past on either side, gunning their engines and blasting their horns. He was waiting for his henchmen to catch up.
I have no doubt that these drivers were trumpites. They see my little car with the pro-Hillary bumper sticker and just feel they have to express their outrage that we're not lining up behind their illegitimate orange infant. Drivers in big SUVs have been doing the same kind of highly aggressive driving. And it's repugs who tend to drive the Suburbans and Tahoes and Hummers. Demos tend to drive little, fuel-efficient cars, like mine. We don't feel entitled to the Earth's resources they way they do.
Was this the same driver/tanker? Who knows. He is the perfect metaphor of trumpworld: an angry asshole lashing, out with enormous destructive power backing him up.
