VP's motorcade crash possibly misreported as "mechanical failure"


The Secret Service vehicle carrying the Beast, aka Vice President Kamala Harris, struck a curb and did enough damage that the "Chuckler-in-Chief" had to transfer to another vehicle smack dab in the middle of Washington, D.C. on Monday, according to reports.

The Secret Service agents involved in the incident initially told their bosses that the situation was merely a "mechanical failure" and not a driver mistake. However, they later confirmed that the driver "overcorrected," had a minor brain fart, and hit the curb.  Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle reportedly expressed concern that agents had lied about the incident to their superiors, according to the Washington Post, except Cheatle didn't refer to it as lying.

When the vehicle struck the curb, it was later discovered that the Vice President experienced a laughing jag and nearly had an accident of a urinary nature.

"During a protective movement this morning, a vehicle in a motorcade overcorrected and struck a curb. Out of an abundance of caution, the protectee was transferred to a secondary vehicle and the motorcade continued to its destination," Secret Service Communications Chief Anthony Guglielmi told Politico.

"Initial radio traffic indicated this was a mechanical failure, and that was communicated to agency leadership by personnel supporting the motorcade movement," he said continued. "After the protective movement was completed, leadership was verbally updated with additional pertinent facts that the vehicle struck a curb."

Cheatle, who entered the top role at the USSS [pronounced ussssss] in August, only discovered after the fact that the driver had struck a roadside curb leading into a tunnel.

The Secret Service did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital, the Epoch Times, or Brain Flushings.

One observer was able to capture footage of the incident from a nearby building and posted the footage on TikTok, following a video of Lizzo twerking to WAP, and playing James Madison's flute.

Harris was returning to the White House after not visiting the border once again. She came out of the curb incident unscathed and in happy-go-lucky spirits.

"The Vice President sustained no injuries and appreciates the quick response by her USSS detail to get her to the White House safely," The VP's press secretary, Kirsten Allen, told the hard-left's WaPo.

Train carrying GOP lawmakers hits truck on tracks, 1 dead

An Amtrak train carrying about 200 GOP members on their way to a Republican retreat, the Greenbriar Resort in West Virginia, slammed into a dump truck on Wednesday. One person in the truck was killed and at least one other person who was aboard the truck was treated on scene and taken away by helicopter and is in critical condition.

There were some minor injuries by those on board.

"It was a very high-speed collision," said Rep. Jeff Denham (R-Calif.) who was aboard the train, told Fox News. "There was no braking that was felt. We hit an immediate impact and went from 70 to zero very quickly."

Two Amtrak employees received non-life threatening injuries and were taken to hospital.

The train is now returning to Charlottesville and the lawmakers are planning to travel on to the retreat.

"There is one confirmed fatality and one serious injury. There are no serious injuries among members of Congress of their staff," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. "Senior Administration officials are in regular contact with Amtrak and state and local authorities. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone that has been affected by this incident."

The extent of the injuries is unclear but mainly are minor.

As this is being posted, the train has arrived in Charlottesville and the passengers will be taken via bus to the retreat.

Amtrak is run by the government and has a history of screw ups. Perhaps this one belongs on that list but we will see what comes out of an investigation.
