So Canadian Police got a Judgement to remove trucks from blockading the Ambassador Bridge.
As they moved to enforcement a group of 50 protesting citizens, some with their kids, quickly grew to 500 and blocked them.
No truck yet has been removed.

Power to the People!

The GOP - anti-law and order.

None of the protesters were GOP.
They were Canadians.

A little dense, are you, Ward?

I meant YOU and your fellow GOP members, who are supporting these lawbreakers.

Dense describes you, if anyone.
A modern day George Wallace you are for sure.

Maybe you should not have used so much of your stimulus on crack rock, Red. You have gone a bit loopy.

The GOP - anti-economy hypocrites.

"The economy is suffering from the mask mandates. Let's make it worse!" says Rand Paul.

Being compared to George Wallace by Ward is, as is his regular routine, rather ironic.

Ward is the racist here, the one opposing opportunity and lying about his racist proclivities.

But aside from that (rather important) aspect of Wallace, he was by all reports a smart man and a more fair judge than most in Alabama.

The important way in which I am more like Wallace than Ward has been is that I am far more willing to own up to errors than Ward has been thus far,

Trouble is...I see them nearly every night on my tv...goose stepping Chinese troops by the *million*, and parades of big weapons.
We only have small weapons.
Russia has big weapons, Ukraine only has small weapons.
Watch what happens to the People of Ukraine.
That's exactly what's going to happen to Australia, and me soon..."within 5 years" we're being told.
Our only hope is a coalition of nations to stand against China, making it think twice about invading.
As yet there isn't one, one with absolute commitment and resolve.

Oh for fucks sake...

We are your allies, and have been for a long time.

I know, but do you think Joe is committed, with absolute resolve?
The American People committed with absolute resolve to go to war with China?...to save 25 million people in some place on the other side of the world that many have never heard of, and if sank under the sea tomorrow would make no real difference to anything?

A pessimist sees the dark tunnel.
An optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel.
A realist sees the train coming.

I am a realist.

The idiot truck drivers are creating serious health and economic issues for the majorities of two nations. They are anti-modern and anti-science. This has nothing to do with republicans and democrats. The Canadian government is just too slow to react.

It was  Martin Luther King who asked ( rhetorically)

You are going to throw me in jail for sitting in the front of a bus?

These idiots in no way compare to MLK and the civil rights movement.  And, given your usual boosterism for American capitalism and productivity, it's odd you would support the choking off the auto industry and halting production for a week.  25% of US/Canada trade goes across that bridge.

Gary Chambers in Louisiana is my idea of a twenty first century candidate.

His media vision is unapologetic in your face real talk.

Gary Chambers and his infamous lighter are back.

The longtime community activist and Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate made headlines last month with a campaign video in which he smoked a blunt while advocating for the legalization of marijuana.

His latest ad is also a talker. The minute-long spot, titled Scars and Bars, shows Chambers burning a Confederate flag while discussing - and symbolically destroying  -the legacy of Jim Crow.   

Hard to tell where the flag burning will land with independent voters.  That burning, not the blunt, will be the one that polarizes.  That said, I like his style.

Indeed.
Should've jumped all over them when they first started causing trouble.

Interesting discussion of Lavrov - stuff I didn't know.

No idea if the proposed method would work, but the implicit comparison of everybody in the West to Neville Chamberlain (unspoken, but quite clearly there) resonates for me.

Red is pointing out that Barton seems to be missing the fact that Red is a Nazi bent on destroying the United States. It is good someone is burning his flag. More should be doing so. It is a good first step.

The Canadian saboteurs are being safely and carefully locked away.

Those (LGBTQ students) bullied thee times more likely to commit suicide, says the article.
