Hope y'all are proud to have your movement led by a guy who's literally a criminal scumbag.


Who are you even talking to? I doubt there are many truckers on this website. It's not "our movement" - but they have every right to protest, wouldn't you agree? Sure you would.


Right to protest? Sure. Right to block traffic for hundreds of thousands of everyday workers? Hell no.


That is within the right to protest. Now could they be arrested for breaking the law. Sure.


Idiots think they can just decide what their rights and the Constitution are. Sorry, but welcome to reality - rights and the Constitution have real meaning. It is not a right, nor Constitutional, to intentionally use a bunch of big trucks to clog interstate highways as a political stunt. That is illegal, even if it is a "protest."


Of course it is illegal. So was the march on the Edmund Pettus bridge which shut down traffic. So were MLK's marches in a number of cities. So were the anti-South Africa protests in the 1980s. So was Occupy Wallstreet. So were the BLM marches over the last couple of years. So were the anti-Vietnam war sit-ins.

That's not the point. Of course they will be arrested. They have a right to their protest. That right comes with getting arrested. That is the American tradition.

That is unless you want to take the view that all of those protests should not have happened.


There is a difference between a scheduled point to point protest march lasting part of a day and a plan to occupy and obstruct transportation and commerce for a week or weeks. There is also a huge difference between protesting racial oppression and the racist police state of 1960s Alabama and protesting basic traditional public health measures that don’t harm or discriminate against anyone. This is a more extreme action and it’s for the stupidest cause.


No there is not and that is the point. You have to be ok with a KKK/Nazi rally if you are okay with a BLM rally. Not okay in the sense you agree but ok in the sense that it has a right to occur. Where is the evidence that this is anything other than a march? They have no plans to block traffic for weeks.



Lol no we will take your position and demand the police go in hard on these anti American rallies. These people do not believe in the USA and wish it destroyed. We will not sit on the sidelines and let them destroy the country.


Interestingly, this exact statement resonates on the other side... They think the same of you: "These people do not believe in the USA and wish it destroyed. We will not sit on the sidelines and let them destroy the country". You are destroying the country by supporting the mandates that divide and segregate people and deny them the rights over their bodies

Funny how the right wing encourages RUNNING OVER people blocking traffic to protest for racial equality and against police brutality, but will throw support behind blocking traffic to protest against lifesaving science to beat back a deadly pandemic.

This does not in any way, at all, suggest that the right wing is racist and hypocritical. No no, I'm just saying it's a funny coincidence.


some people got hurt during the clearning of Ottawa protests, and the scary part is that they are apparently going after the private citizens who donated small amount to the protest cause and freezing their personal bank accounts. I hope it's all rumors and not true, because if this is what emergency powers can do, it's truly scary.


Let me get this straight. The truckers illegally blocked cross-border highways to protest stupid stuff. The Canadian government tolerated it for weeks and asked them repeatedly to move on. The truckers did not move on, and instead continued to illegally block shipping to both the US and Canada. So finally the Canadian government came to clear them out, after giving them every opportunity to leave. And since the traffic blockade is illegal, the government froze the funding to that illegal traffic blockade. ...And that's "truly scary?" Is that tyranny? Or is it totally predictable and did you just not get the outcome you wanted?

This sounds a lot like what happened with the CHOP/CHAZ protests in Seattle! I am positive you support them too, and believe that the police are tyrants for clearing out CHOP/CHAZ, right? Or is that totally different because you disagreed with the reason for their protest?

Sad.


They know that, any idiot with google maps knows this. Maybe they are not coming to "block the beltway"? Maybe you are all getting sold BS rumors that they are trying to starve DC?

I don't support the mandates, but I also don't support people blocking interstate and inter country commerce. So which side am I on?

That's fine! That's what the Mall is for. I don't have to agree with them to support their right to protest lawfully.

Blocking regional highway traffic to punish everyone around you? Nope, go to jail.


+1. The forced Birchers hold a big shindig on the ?all each year and no one cares.

But protests are subject to reasonable time, place and manner requirements. That’s not just me. That’s the law. On the mall with a permit is reasonable. Blocking a major traffic artery is not. FAFO

Just read up on this.

When a trucker blows his horn, its literally a neo-Nazi symbol!

Wow - conspiracy theorist much? You just completely made up that entire absurd scenario. Zero facts. Try to get this through your thick head: Youngkin has nothing to do with any of this. And they haven’t even arrived, so you have no clue how he’ll react. How about you have another drink and wait and see what actually happens - if anything at all? Oh, and we’ll be awaiting your apology when it becomes obvious what a wack job you are.


This is the way your father talked to you, isn’t it? I envision the dad from that old Twisted Sister video when I skim your posts.


And this is how I envision you when I skim your posts:

The side that expresses their grievances in reasonable, legal ways. AKA, the people I can agree to disagree with and don’t hold personals animosity towards.

This sounds a lot like what happened with the CHOP/CHAZ protests in Seattle! I am positive you support them too, and believe that the police are tyrants for clearing out CHOP/CHAZ, right? Or is that totally different because you disagreed with the reason for their protest?


1) this isn't "stupid stuff", it's very important to many many people around the world to maintain their bodily autonomy. Are you sure you are pro-choice? CDC acknowledged that vaccines do not stop transmission back in August 2021 and yet the vaxxports and employer mandates started to roll out shortly AFTER this announcement. Science much? Vaccine trials didn't include Covid recovered and yet these shots are mandated for them to keep their jobs and continue attending college classes. Even boosters are pushed on young low risk students who were already double vaxed and even recovered from Covid on top of this. Science?

2) It was easy to just let people have a choice over their bodies, these weren't your insurrectionists trying to overthrow elections or anything like this. These are the people who want to maintain their bodily autonomy and not be forced to take medical interventions they do not want, and that do nothing to stop this pandemic in any way. Yet Trudeau decided to be stubborn about it, because optics.. or whatever, you tell me. And just like DC Ottawa certainly has its other streets making it impossible to blocade it, someone made a comment here about how DC has all these ways to avoid the beltway.

3) CHOP/CHAZ had been around for some time before it was cleared, and it was cleared when murders started happening. Likewise, these were residential areas that were pretty much taken control over, vs. Ottawa place where the protests took place was a non residential government building area from the looks of it.

I am the PP you are respondiing too and it really seems your reading comprehension skills are lacking. I was simply responding to those posters who wrote that Younkins somehow would support a blockade of roads in Virginia and would actually help the truckers because it would make him look good to the GOP base and he would be happy to pi$$ off NOVA and so on and this does not make sense to me. allowing gridlock on the roads in NOVA and helping the truckers would end his career as fast a lightning. maybe you should have a drink and relax and read posts more carefully


DP. VA has a one term limit for Governor. And realistically, Warner and MCKaine are popular and not going anywhere. He’s trying to establish a national reputation for a run at POTUS. Sticking it to NOVA and supporting truckers would absolutely advance his career. Shutting truckers down loses the Trumpy base.
