So the truckers are coming to DC to protest.

😂 Didn’t even catch that!

Yeah, I just meant that specific one, lol.

Honestly, all this shit is just global poison.

I just watched an exchange on Twitter, where the AEC (Australian Electoral Commission) had to debunk someone claiming the use of Dominion voting machines there (we don’t use them or any kind of electronic counting at all due to our numbered preferential voting system). It’s toxic.

I hope they have enough bomb sniffing dogs available. Because you just know someone's going to try to go Oklahoma during this thing if they can get close enough to a satisfactory target.

Here you go @sawhet.

That, and as of this morning, there was only 1 big rig & a few pickup trucks in the bunch heading out of Scranton, PA. It's all a far cry from the "thousands" pictured by the organizer.

Snicker.
This type is as good at organizing as they are at governing.
Basically, they just mouth off about perceived grievances, shake their fists in the air for the cameras, then fizzle.

I wonder if these protestors really have any idea of what kind of govt that they are supporting. In dictatorships people loose their freedoms. Their fighting for what? For a government where you have limited to no choices. Where the government make all you decisions for you. They have no idea.

Isn't getting people to vote against their own best interests the hallmark of this Republican party? There is a reason that TFG "loves the uneducated." 

Well more like Doug Ford doesn't give a fuck about Ottawa and would most likely lives to see the city burn. He is such a shifty premier and has an election. In June.

Let's hope this is the beginning of the end of the TFG-inspired whining. It wasn't a good strategy for him, & it's not very effective for anybody. He was just pampered his whole life by people who'd humor him to not have to listen to it. We can ignore him, & watch him fade away, for the same reason.

A new report claims that groups who are backing the so-called "Freedom Convoy" that was scheduled to leave from California on Wednesday include a political action committee that has focused on defending Florida GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz, as well as a group led by former Trump administration national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Though it was billed as a grass-roots, nonpartisan event intended to oppose government Covid-19 mandates, a trucker demonstration that left California for Washington, D.C., on Wednesday appeared to be tightly aligned with far-right organizations and activists," the New York Times reports. "Many of those behind the demonstration, which was planned as an American version of last month’s chaotic Canadian protest, have connections to the violent attack on the Capitol in January 2021, or supported the lie that fraud in the 2020 presidential election was to blame for Donald J. Trump’s loss."

About 40 truckers reportedly gathered for the kickoff of the convoy Adelanto, Calif., on Wednesday.

"A flag-strewn send-off rally that resembled a Make America Great Again event drew about a hundred more vehicles," the NYT reports. "Unlike in Ottawa, where a recent weekslong protest shut down parts of Canada’s capital, the activity near Barstow, Calif., on Wednesday seemed highly staged, with memorabilia stands and food trucks."

Last month, the Great American Patriot Project PAC, which focused on defending Gaetz amid allegations that he sex-trafficked a minor, issued a call for people to support the convoy.

"Darrel Courtney, the chief executive of the Adelanto Stadium and Event Center, said he received a call last Tuesday from Leigh Dundas, an Orange County lawyer and Republican activist, who wanted to rent the parking lot," the NYT reports. "Ms. Dundas, a lawyer for an anti-vaccine group whose leader was charged with entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Ms. Dundas was videotaped the day before the riot rallying pro-Trump crowds with calls to kill any “alleged Americans” who might have helped undermine the 2020 elections."

Dundas told a crowd in DC on Jan. 5, “We would be well within our rights to take any alleged American who acted in a turncoat fashion and sold us out and committed treason — we would be well within our right to take them out back and shoot them or hang them."

Other organizations supporting the convoy include those led by anti-vaxx leader Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Flynn.

"That latter group, the America Project, has combined its attempts to challenge Covid-19 policies with the relentless promotion of pro-Trump election conspiracy theories," the NYT reports. "The group is run by Patrick Byrne, the former chief executive of Overstock.com who, with General Flynn, was central in a bizarre plot to persuade the former president to use the military to seize voting machines in a bid to stay in power."

Freedom Convoy' ends in failure -- and heads back to Pennsylvania after less than a day: report
Brad Reed
February 23,2022

Daily Beast reporter Zachary Petrizzo, who has been following the so-called "Freedom Convoy" that drove from Pennsylvania down to Washington D.C. on Wednesday, has issued a new dispatch about the convoy's apparent failure.

Writing on Twitter, Petrizzo reports that convoy leader Bob Bolus and his "sidekick" named Betsy are now going back to Pennsylvania after earlier getting lost on I-495 around Washington D.C.

However, a defiant Betsy told Petrizzo that "this is just one battle in the war," and Bolus speculated that "he may consider coming back to DC when more truckers are around."

The American trucker convoy protests, which were inspired by Canadian trucker protests against vaccine mandates, have so far been a major bust, as they've been plagued by sparse attendance and overall disorganization.

Is it just me, or does that route in California remind you of the sickle in the USSR flag?
