Maybe the driver was a terrorist and the GOP train did what Obama was always afraid to do.

Imagine being shot multiple times, getting first aid from police but then not having an ambulance willing to take you to the hospital as you slowly bleed out in a snowy street.
That nightmare scenario was a Cleveland-area man's reality earlier this month.
Ronald Newberry, 22, was shot 16 times on January 14 as he was pulling out of his driveway, according to a Cleveland Division of Police report. He managed to drive about a quarter of a mile down the street before stopping and ended up just outside Cleveland's city limits, in the suburb of Euclid, Ohio.
Police found Newberry and gave CPR while they waited for an ambulance -- which never came.
In a body-cam video of the incident, police can be heard talking about getting an ambulance.
But they ran into a problem. All ambulances from Euclid emergency medical services were tied up with other calls, so they would need to wait for an ambulance from a city farther away. And Cleveland EMS refused to send an ambulance because the man, although he was shot in the city, drove into Euclid.
"Our EMS won't come," says one of the Cleveland officers in the video. "They won't come because it's in your city. Even though it's our victim, they won't come."
All the while, Newberry pleads with the officers for help.
"Please take me to the hospital," he says in the video. "Please, I'm getting light-headed. I can't breathe."
The officers, from the Cleveland and Euclid police departments, then put the man in the back of a Cleveland officer's patrol car and took him to Euclid Hospital, a two-minute ride away.

The truck driver who was hit by the train died. I'm pretty sure he wasn't a politician.

Lemme hop in my time machine.

Oh wait nevermind, I just remembered that blue moons are entirely meaningless and that supermoons are not noticeably different from regular moon cycles. Red's a neat colour I guess.

When I was a kid they said lunar eclipse and I went out and sure enough the moon disappeared then they said it as an adult and it was like hard to tell like maybe kind of orangey. Did they change the definition of eclipse or something?

It seems like since 2010 or so, the media moved from only reporting on full lunar eclipses to breathlessly reporting on any eclipse because they know it'll get clicks.
