Red will be hitting Biden for not clamping down on mandates and restrictions hard enough no later than Easter. Book it.

About those Canadian Truckers


Ostensibly, the truckers are against a new rule mandating that, when they re-enter Canada from the United States, they have to be vaccinated. But that is not really it. The mandate is a moot point: The Americans have a similar requirement, and, anyway Canadian truckers, the vast majority, according to the Canadian Trucking Alliance, are vaccinated. (The CTA represents about 4,500 truckers nationwide.)
So it is about something else. Or many things: a sense that things will never go back to normal, a sense that they are being ganged up on by the government, the media, Big Tech, Big Pharma.

It is hard to capture how thoroughly Trudeau has misjudged the moment. This pandemic has sucked for all Canadians, he said Monday. As for the protest? It has to stop,declared the prime minister.
If he sauntered down to the mess of rigs on Wellington Street, across from the Parliament building, opposite the mall and the war memorial, if he talked to these people for a few minutes, he would understand  It will not stop.

What is happening in Canada right now is bigger than the mandates.

The convoy is spearheaded by truckers, but its message of opposition to life under government control has brought onto the icy streets countless, once-voiceless people declaring that they are done being ignored. That the elites the people who have Zoomed their way through the pandemic had better start paying attention to the fentanyl overdoses, the suicides, the crime, the despair.

 Or else.

https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/what-the-truckers-want
Trudeau is like Dr. John Snow trying to keep his country healthy, while people like you are putting the handle back on the Broad Street pump. "I don't care how much diluted baby shit people drink! We need to return to normal!"

Of course people want to return to normal. I want to return to normal, and have for about 23 months.  What is wrong is the people who are cynically using that natural desire to score political points at the risk of public heath and safety.
The risk to public safety ?
What is it ?
The facts we know now show the worse danger is not returning to normal.
800000 dead. The best way to return to normal is to beat the pandemic.
We already have.
No, we have not. But since idiots like Robert Lemay are willing to die while struggling to gather enough air to force their dying word "freedom" through petrified lungs rather than get vaccinated mandates will help us get there.

Also petty but:

Gestapo is an acronym that includes police in it, Geheime Staatspolizei, so even "Gestapo police" would be redundant.  It's just Gestapo. 

One may feel SOUP-erior to Greene on many levels.

It did not miss, fucktard. The information punched right through your nasty poisonous lie.

Now you are a leaking sack of vile disinformation running on borrowed time.

So the trump complaints about weak flushes in modern toilets was actually about him trying to flush documents he was legally required to maintain and watching them hang around in the bowl as the bathroom flooded.

Several observers said as much. Given the age of the White House and its infrastructure, you would think almost anyone would opt for a shredder.

The Super Bowl is great for the economy in Los Angeles, and for Inglewood.

Places such as The Golden Bird are going to make a lot of money, and then once people discover how great the chicken is at The Golden Bird then they are going to return.

People can make money in so many ways from the Super Bowl. I had friends who used to sell hot dogs and beer at Angel Stadium and they made over one million dollars for charity to feed the hungry people. They raised money for Canning Hunger. People can earn money for charity at the Rams games too at SoFi.

The only thing, the gentrification is crazy, if you own your business like The Golden Bird then you are going to do great, but if you rent an apartment in the area then you are screwed, their rents are going to rise like crazy.

Of note too, the cops need to work at the Super Bowl and at the games and they need to get comfortable working with crowds, and so then they will be better when they work crowd control during protests. The cops need to have special teams to learn crowd control.

Salute,

Tony V.

Trump tried to flush Mikey, too, but he turned out to be a floater.
