If you take 'em in, they won't be. I'm actually kinda serious. The single home for a nuclear family is a fairly recent thing, historically. It wasn't actually ordained by Gawd.

The trick is to be on the payoff side.

It's all about where it can be done most cheaply. (With plenty of "the payoffs and the ripoffs/And the things nobody saw" mixed in.)

And you might be using gas refined in Texas. The whole idea of "Canadian" or "American" oil & gasoline is a fiction (except for your own targetted gasoline purchases).

Damn! I gotta launch a crypto-currency called "Bullshit." I'll be a gazillionaire!

Crap! I don't know who that is! Shoot me a PM, mentalfloss.

We feel a deep obligation to help our client states as they stumble along the path to civilization. White Man's Burden and all that, y'know. There's more to it than just letting 'em snuggle under our nuclear umbrella.

I read someplace that they were sending a Federal suit to talk to the truckers. Good move. Shoulda been one waiting when they rolled into town, meathead.

My Politics-to-English dictionary translates "resources" to "money." Like I said, ain't real concerned about that. The only thing that wouldn't make a boss cop cry for more money is. . . OK, there's nothing that wouldn't make a boss cop cry for more money.

Fair point. Some speechwriters' heads shoulda rolled for that particular piece of tone-deafness. That and the blatant lie of "we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud" and conflating chemical weapons that we sold to Iraq with nukes.

Credit to Dubya, he was pretty damn good in the aftermath of 9/11. Things went south after that, but remember how the whole world sympathized with and admired the U.S. for a spell there?

I'd be a lot happier if he said "every LEGAL way we possibly can." I won't comment on the money grab. Ain't never been a boss cop in history who didn't need more money "to keep people safe." This quote and the one above, by the way, is from the Washington Post, not exactly a right-wing...

I see some people are surprised by my reaction. Guess what? American cops are really, really good at turning protests into riots so they can break heads. And breaking heads ain't a real good look anyplace except down to the cop bar.

OK. Now if True Dope'd shut his damn mouth, maybe there'd be less uninvolved folk like me, who don't even think much of the truckers, feeling sympathy with 'em. Does that idiot WANT a rebellion? After the attacks on Sep. 11, 2001, President Bush was careful to say that neither Muslims nor...

OK, here's my problem. . . Sorry, True Dope. People have been "blockading our economy" ever since the people of Achill Island in Ireland refused to work for or buy and sell with one particularly vicious piece of scum named Charles Cunningham Boycott. And. . . "blockading your democracy?"...

No idea. Just that seems to be cop behavior a lot. I've said consistently the protesters should be treated according to how they act. If they're not breaking any laws, leave 'em alone. If they are, ticket 'em, arrest 'em, do what's needed. But do it for what they're doing, not for being...

They're being egotistical bullies and quoting non-existent laws?

Maybe it's a leak in the dike. But enough about k.d. lang. . .

So. . . what do they want? Or is this "Bah Gawd, we want you to do some stuff and not do other stuff! Or else we'll drive around, gol-dang it!"

I thought it was about vaccine mandates for truckers. Silly me. Sure it wasn't about wanting Robert the Bruce to be king of Scotland?
