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.

IF this "science" was ending the pandemic (which it didn't) or was truly lifesaving (mortality figures in 2021 were not indicative of this compared to 2020 when everyone was unvaxed) then I don't think you would need to shove it down people's throats. And this isn't about USA at all, it's worldwide.

oh no, i guess paralyzing the beltway will solve all your problems! but whatever you do, don't let black people block traffic while protesting racial equality!

But that's exactly the point - YOU were just fine with "black people" blocking traffic in protest. But "white people" blocking traffic in protest?? OUTRAGE!! You're a complete hypocrite.

Nope, try again. I never ever said I was okay with anyone, white or black, blocking traffic in protest. Are you saying you oppose the truckers if they block the Beltway?

Absolutely! Just as I opposed BLM blocking highways, roads, and people just trying to live their lives and go somewhere. Remember that? Did you speak out then?

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?

No, silly! The dopes pushing this hysterical narrative are clearly getting their information from credible sources. No way are they taking absurd Twitter rumors as gospel. That would be SO out of character.

He says they're coming to protest on the Mall. Nothing about "blocking traffic" on the Beltway. He even states they've acquired the proper permits, etc. So what, exactly, are you objecting to?

What mandate does the Federal gov have right now that he is opposing?

"I'll give you an analogy of that of a giant boa constrictor," Bolus said to Fox5. "That basically squeezes you, chokes you and it swallows you, and that's what we're going to do D.C."

"We will be along the Beltway where the Beltway will be shut down," Bolus said, according to Fox News.

When asked about how the road blockage will affect local commuters, Bolus responded with less sympathy.

"As far as if they can't get to work, geez that's too bad," Fox5 reported.

He is running for MD governor. It's a stunt. He's an attention whore.

The truckers have been invited by mayor Pete.

LMAO. As of three hours ago:

"Convoy Organizer Who Promised to Choke D.C. Like a ‘Boa Constrictor’ Departs With Single Truck
The movement to replicate the Canadian trucker convoy in America is off to a sputtering start"

Bob Bolus left PA with only one truck and he was driving it. After delaying for hours, waiting for more to show up, he left trailed by seven mini vans and pick up trucks. Rolling Stone has a reporter following them and interviewing them at stops.

Now he’s backing down from this. I think he is realizing he isn’t getting the number of drivers he thought he would. Saw the “caravan” on the news. One semi with a pick up truck covered in flags following him. Pathetic!

That was supposed to happen today and as far as I can tell by online posts, no one showed up. DH is out of town and is driving home tonight so I’ve been following closely. It doesn’t look like any traffic was affected.

About an hour ago I got back from crossing town twice to go and pick up my kid from GW via the National Mall after he finished his classes and didn't see any signs whatsoever of a trucker convoy. Neither going there nor coming back. Nothing on Constitution, nothing on Independence, nothing around the Washington Monument. Nada. If it was supposed to be today it was a huge flop.
