Reading the comments in the linked article (someone had to, and some were even funny) people argue that the couple, having probably not told the insurance company that they live in the vehicle and that it is their working place too, because that would have increased the premium to pay, are most probably technically not insured. Many commenters expressed their desolation at this posibility, but had no cite or proof. Now I wonder what the upside down Betsy Ross flag means. Are this couple signalling that in their opinion independence was rigged, stolen, fake news or what? ---

Not feeling properly schadenfreudish insofar as they are now homeless. On the other hand, they appear to have the ability to purchase another one so perhaps this is less of a hardship (albeit still quite a pricy loss) than originally thought,. And of course I can appreciate the comedy in that rolling cult shrine killing itself out of shame (and fortunately not hitting anyone else). ---

This is what it looked like after the crash. I’d say it was a considerable improvement because of the number of Trump signs that it shed, and it’s no longer sporting the upside-down flag. Too bad it was stopped by the telephone pole, if it had crashed into the BP station and started a fire the Trumpists would have more than the cost of a replacement RV to worry about.

If there was a long enough distance, even a mild slope would be enough to generate the speed required to do that much damage. I am frankly surprised, though, that the telephone pole seems still intact. ---

I’m sure that, if he were to become president again, his status as a felon would not keep him out. His status as a crazy person that rational people want nothing to do with, is another matter. ---
