I have a helpful suggestion for the "truckers" -- since they are so worried about government tracking, QAnon and other similar stuff.
Yep... nothing more than QAnon supporters and racists... Pa. truck convoy protest fizzles out to a few vehicles https://www.pennlive.com/news/2022/02/pa-truck-convoy-protest-fizzles-out-to-a-few-vehicles.html The Pennsylvania truck protest convoy largely fizzled out on Wednesday in spite of its organizer promising a spectacular run along the highways to Washington. The convoy organized by Scranton-area business Bob Bolus got off to a rocky start in the morning, after he reportedly had to tend to flat tires on his truck. At its departure mid-morning from Scranton, the convoy had eight vehicles, including the 18-wheeler belonging to Bolus and five pickup trucks. “At one point we had 50,” Bolus told PennLive in the early afternoon, referencing the number of trucks in the caravan. But the convoy, which made its way west towards Harrisburg en route to the nation’s capital, never came near having a dozen vehicles, according to journalists trailing the convoy. “People have work to do,” Bolus said when asked about the meager show of participants. One of the trucks in the caravan was decked out with half a dozen or so flags ranging from pro-Trump flags, what appeared to be a “Q” flag referencing Qanon, to derogatory flags targeting President Joe Biden. The owner of a towing service and truck parts business in Scranton, Bolus had hoped to replicate something near what was seen out of the Canadian capital a few weeks ago when hundreds of tractor trailers laid the city under siege, paralyzing traffic in and out. His was the first in what a series of planned protests by truck convoys modeled after recent trucker protests that shut down a U.S. Canadian border crossing and besieged the streets of Ottawa for weeks to protest government pandemic restrictions in Canada. Separate convoys have been planned through online forums, all with different starting points, departure dates and routes to the Washington, D.C. area. It’s not known if any would seek to actively shut down Washington’s streets, but the Pentagon has approved deployment of 700 unarmed National Guard troops to prepare for the convoys. Bolus said his protest encompasses a slew of grievances against what he said was government overreach. His list of grievances included foreign oil imports, pandemic restrictions, the economy and even critical race theory. Bolus also objects to Scranton changing the names of two roads to honor its native son, Biden. “You are not taking any more of our rights away,” Bolus said on Tuesday. “You are giving rights to illegals. It’s ok for them to do but not us as American citizens. We want the pipeline put back into service. We want fuel back in our country. We want to go back to where we were before instead of giving the rights to foreign countries to put the screws to us because they are feathering their own nests.” On Wednesday, the convoy made it to the Harrisburg area in early afternoon, then spent nearly three hours at the Manada Hill truck stop on Interstate 81, before getting back on the road sometime after 3 p.m. Bolus and his small caravan of pickup trucks headed south on Interstate 83. He said he still intended to head to Washington, D.C. Bolus has previously generated news coverage. In 2017, he was interviewed by a National Public Radio station in southern Florida for his participation in a counter protest to a rally demanding a Confederate statute be preserved and not torn down from its location in front of the Manatee County courthouse. In its news coverage that day, NPR noted that Bolus shouted “You don’t like America? Go back to Africa!” pointing both middle fingers to the gathering of people demanding the statute be torn down.
Freedom Convoy ends in failure, heads back to Pennsylvania after getting loss on I-495. The entire thread of their confusion and complaints about Washington D.C. traffic is amusing.
Convoy of truck drivers against COVID-19 mandates headed for downtown Raleigh https://www.wral.com/coronavirus/co...andates-headed-for-downtown-raleigh/20157491/ The Reality: One big rig. Let's hope these idiots don't get lost on the way -- like the Pennsylvania "trucker convoy".
So these clowns actually managed to make it to downtown Raleigh. It turns out it they are nothing more than a bunch of QAnon freaks and Proud Boys in pick-up trucks. Convoy of protestors, including Proud Boys, brings COVID, other grievances to downtown Raleigh https://www.wral.com/coronavirus/co...ther-grievances-to-downtown-raleigh/20157491/
"U.S. Truckers" whining "no one is paying attention to us" while pushing QAnon and white supremacy talking points. But what else did anyone expect. ‘Don Quixote-like quest’: Ukraine attack and easing Covid mandates leave US trucker protest on the fringe https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/27/america-peoples-convoy-trucker-protest
Weren't they bragging that they had support from truckers around the world about "losing freedoms" ??? I think they should pact their bags and go form a "Freedom Convoy" on the border of Russia / Ukraine and then let us know how that went. wrbtrader
They can't even get enough people to form a convoy. SAD. After its ranks thinned, one trucker convoy halts its plan to go to Washington to protest Covid policies. Organizers urged its members still on the road to merge with other caravans headed to the nation's capital. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/26/us/trucker-convoy-protest.html A caravan of truckers that left California for Washington, D.C., on Friday to protest coronavirus mandates arrived in Las Vegas early Saturday with only five trucks in its ranks, the organizers said, prompting them to scrap the convoy and direct members to merge with other anti-mandate groups heading to the capital. The caravan, named Freedom Convoy USA 2022, was one of several in the United States, modeled after the Canadian protests, that drove off this week toward Washington to demand, among other things, an end to the pandemic national emergency that began in March 2020, and an end to government rules requiring masks and vaccinations. According to its Facebook page, the Freedom Convoy’s route started in Los Angeles on Friday and was scheduled to make stops in Salt Lake City, Denver and other major cities before arriving in Washington on March 1 in time for President Biden’s State of the Union address. But it appeared that the group couldn’t hold on to its supporters for long. (More at above url)
Vaccine and mask mandates are fading away... They should change their message and fight for jobs to all those who got fired for no vaccine
