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

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?

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.

Again, what do you base this information on? Do you have any proof they are trying to block the interstate or the beltway and cut out DC from getting any resources? A convoy of trucks can cause traffic, it doesn't mean that traffic stops cars from going in and out, we deal wtih this every single day FFS. How many times did you have to avoid the beltway and take the alternative route because it was unusable? And will teh truckers protest on a highway and just sit there? I would think their goal would be to protest around the National Mall where all other protests take place, not sit outside of the beltway honking at the suburban residents who have nothing to do with politics.

It's not about Left and Right, it is purposely politicized this way for various reasons, but there are many people with opinions that do not follow these lines. I am not a republican and I oppose the mandates. I also find that vaxxports are a form of segregation and must be stopped. Nobody should be forced to take any medical interventions for the wrong reasons (to keep a job, college spot, attend school, participate in activities, go dining/traveling) People should take them when and because they want to take them to protect themselves based on their consent.

Ah yes, the mandates. Please point to the specific mandate in the United States that denies you the right over your own body?

6 week a portion bounty in TX. Which is only 2 weeks after you miss your period. But, many women don’t have regular periods and don’t know. Texas will force you to give birth.

Seems like that denies women right over their own bodies.

He won thanks to educated suburbs who were tired of Covid school closings and the perception that dems was not listening to parents. At the end is a plutocrat who got the votes riding the anger waves of COVID snd culture wars but he is there to do the bidding of the rich and of business. Closing down the beltway and crating s mess like Canada could make him look good to the three crazies from border with Kentucky but would make business really angry, as the soccer mom from London county whose law firm partner husband cannot reach his office in Tyson’s. I just don’t see how it would make him look good

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.

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

First of all, it's "YOUNGKIN." Secondly, you're only perpetuating this bizarre speculation that Youngkin has anything at all to do with this. He hasn't invited the truckers here. He's not conspiring to "support a blockade of roads." Again: how about produce some facts before frothing at the mouth about something that hasn't even occurred?

Blocking traffic I generally don't support beyond a slow roll, but if they want to park up on the Mall, block entrances to buildings, etc. I'm all for it.

So, you want them to block access to the free museums in DC? The ones I take my kids to?

Are you aware that this access is blocked for all the children in NYC ages 5+ who are not yet double vaccinated? Are you ok with this? Are you aware that child vaccines are not yet FDA approved and are under EUA and cannot be mandated?

totally ok with it. a non-vaccinated 5 yr old can wait 4-5 months before visiting a museum in NY, until it is safer for him/her to do it without getting exposed to a virus that can have serious consequences.

DP. So you're not daring to send your unvaccinated 5 yr. old to school are you?? So very risky!

DP. Umm... most BLM protests and certainly Occupy Wall Street, CHAZ, etc. were *not* "scheduled point to point protest marches lasting part of a day." Surely you can grasp the parallels here. You can't applaud and encourage some protests (because you agree with the cause) and then turn around and insist other protesters be arrested (because you DON'T agree with their cause). Plenty of BLMers blocked major roads and highways. CHAZ and Occupy Wall Street were days/weeks long disruptions. Truckers driving to town is not "extreme action" compared to those. If they do something illegal, they should be arrested - as should ANY protesters committing illegal acts. Did you complain about these idiots blocking traffic (and worse)?

What criminal behavior have they engaged in, other than that of your speculative fantasies? Have they hurled Molotov cocktails, bricks, and frozen water bottles at police?

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.

DP. It is absolutely true. Funny how none of those measures were suggested to clear BLM protests and riots, as well as the CHAZ/CHOP debacle.

What if they never would be vaccinated? Did you stop to think why they withdrew the application after the initial trials? I listened to the entire FDA panel on EUA shots for 5+ kids and it didn't inspire confidence in me that it's the intervention needed for this age category due to low risk and inability to quantify the benefit. It was also concerning to hear that we won't have long term data until we literally start giving it en masse to our little kids. There was no emergency from listening to this entire panel

+1. This might be one of those things where we learn that it doesn’t make sense to vaccinate kids until they turn 5. Do people really support masking kids from age 2 to 5?

Lunatic control freaks do.
