Every year, my neighbors would get on his Harley with a giant American flag and a Stop Hillary (or Obama) sign and participate in Rolling Thunder where people would crowd the overpasses of I 66 and cheer and the riders went to the Pentagon and Lincoln Memorial. That guy never was in the army. The racism he believed in is not an American value. Now, since The Jan 6 insurrection, truckers display upside down American flags. The Pentagon parking lot is barred to them and the bridges are monitored. They cant act like big heroes now. They can just show their trucks are big. Hagerstown is a long way from the Lincoln Memorial.

(50,237 posts)Interstate 91 in southern Vermont and about 6 people cheering them on from the overpass bridge. I was hard pressed to see more than 1 truck in the picture, although I suppose one of the pickups that ordinarily travels on the highway might have been in it. Totally, totally stupid. At this point they're protesting nonexistent mandates.

That's around $5,000 each.
They've been at this over 2 weeks.
After expenses, they will be barely ahead of what they would have had if they just worked.

(5,871 posts)I knew one of Putin's pretexts was that the Ukrainian government was a bunch of Nazis. Of course the only fascist in this equation is Putin.

(45,380 posts)so Qidiots are using the fact that Putin targets liberal cities as proof that he's taking out liberal elites in their high rise apartment homes.

Its just like the 9/11 "Truthers". Whenever you'd show them evidence they were totally wrong about a point, the comeback would always be "They're lying". Because you can refute ANYTHING simply by saying that.

liberal elites made sure the wake from wealthy MAGAts' large boats washed over the smaller boats because that's how evil we are. It's just like those anti-vaxx idiots who got Anthrax poisoning at a conference but it was a special deep state strain of Anthrax that shows up only on COVID tests and has COVID symptoms.
