I was planning to write about the ludicrous “trucker convoy” that is expected to arrive sometime today in Washington, D.C., but then Clay Jones did it for me and did it better than I could have, ’cause he can draw in addition to writing! Seriously, though, the truckers are protesting mask/vaccine mandates, most of which have already ended, so … as Clara Peller used to say, “Where’s the beef?”
The Freedom Truckers hauling bullshit and snowflakes have picked a really bad time to pretend their freedom is under attack. It’s kinda like protesting the War on Christmas in July. There are not a lot of takers.
First, all the mandates they’re protesting against are being lifted. Second, it’s really hard to gain pity for being forced to wear a face mask in a Dunkin’ Donuts when there are Ukrainian grandmas facing down Soviet tanks.
These truckers, organized by white nationalists, want to whine and complain but they don’t have anything to complain about. In the 1953 classic, “The Wild One,” outlaw biker Johnny Strabler, played by Marlon Brando, is asked by Mildred, just some girl in the movie I think, what he’s rebelling against. Johnny’s reply is, “What’ve you got?” If Mildred had replied something about having to wear a face mask at Denny’s, Johnny might’ve just rolled out…

Well, well another long convoy getting to the mire.
Vlad doesn’t need your allegories guys. Go back home and tinker with the engines of your truck.

Yep, they are protesting … nothing. Just a means of getting attention. They say they’re afraid to go into D.C. because they fear the police. As well they should!

‘Afraid’?…..Well Gee, sounds like they an’t that strong on their own cause….Or don’t they like playing by the Big Boys and Girls rules?

I don’t think they like playing by ANY rules … they see themselves as some sort of ‘mountain men’ who live only by their own rules … and their fists. Funny, but they haven’t been getting the attention they had hoped for, and in fact I haven’t seen a single news article about them since Sunday. Maybe they’ve already tucked their tails between their legs and gone home!

Oh no, my friend … it is only THEIR OWN freedom they care about! The rest of the world can go to hell in a handbasket and it wouldn’t bother them in the least.

Deep breaths, Roger … in … out … in … out … now settle down and have a snack or a nice hot cuppa tea. Best not to let Sheila hear all those bad and very bad words, or you’ll be doing time in the corner! But to your point … yep, things have a way of coming back to haunt those who have no values, no humanitarianism.

Passed off and over, jus’ like a summer storm…. It’s being Welsh that does that.
As for Sheila- I gotta a free-pass….her vocabulary regarding Putin, is……basic, but the vehemence- it is a sight and a sound to behold. Such as:
‘Can do what they like with me. But they better not (very bad word) with my grandchildren….or children’s future!!’

thanks for sharing; I’ll be curious if this trucker protest amounts to anything…

Last I heard, they had mostly fizzled out, but there were a few hundred trucks remaining in the convoy … enough to clog the D.C. beltway, and they say they’re planning to stay for a few days. I hope they get run off by either angry residents or the cops! Idiots!

He has a way of doing that!!! And yes, they are pathetic. When I hear people complain that being told to wear a mask in public is an infringement on their freedom, I want to tell them to go live in Russia for a year, then maybe they’ll understand what infringement on ‘freedom’ really is!
