American Truckers' 'Freedom' Convoy to D.C. to Launch February 23, Organizers Say

[j-mac]

Organizers say the American truckers' protest, dubbed "The People's Convoy," will depart on Interstate 40 heading east from Barstow on February 23.

Truckers headed toward the nation's capital are demanding an end to the Emergency Powers Act concerning the pandemic, and to "restore our nation's constitution." "This is about our rights, as well as the freedom of future generations," organizers of the convoy wrote on Facebook. "It's not about political parties, but more so about a government that has forgotten its place and has no regard for our founding fathers' instructions."

So, here we go....Convoy to take to the road Wednesday....What will the Biden administration do? Will you support them? Or will you call them NAZI's like PM Zoolander did in our neighbors to the north?

Personally I support them....Nothing is more important than the individual rights as laid out by our Founders...And it is important that these American's that hate truckers start to realize that without us, they have NOTHING they need....

It's not like they have to work for a living.

Get your kicks on Route 66!

There really wasn't much to do on route 66

Not really...Done by truckers every week....Takes about 3 1/2 days....

I read somewhere as many as 1000 trucks. Can any Yankee confirm these numbers?

Are they at least going to carry some freight with them?

LOL....I would suspect not...This is not a working type of thing, it is a protest...

Wonder if the police here will knock the crap outta citizens

It's great to see people supporting unions. They need to make a big comeback.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

I support them 100%. I hope the shutdown the 495 for a month.

Anyone have any idea what they are protesting?

It reminds me of this exchange:

They can't do both?

You have alot of trouble keeping up with anything don't you. I'd spell it out for you, but you are supposed to be an adult-

That's probably true. They're SO economically deprived that they're:

1. Not going to carry any freight while travelling cross country to the protest and
2. They're willing to park idle somewhere while they're not being paid to haul freight.

It sounds like they're self-indulgent snowflakes to me.

Big sack of powered charcoal just delivered to the (once) White House an hour ago. Strongly suggests Xiden's handlers are favoring the "PM Blackface" approach.

What's this about tanks massing in Northern Virginia and new signs being painted for The Mall - renaming it Tiennamin North?

OK, you say that hasn't happened.

But can anyone be sure?

LOL....No...Deliveries are in most cases on appointment...This is a protest drive and arrival....
