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?

Well, we rolled up Interstate 44 like a rocket sled on rails We tore up all of our swindle sheets and left 'em settin' on the scales By the time we hit that Chi-town them bears was a-gettin' smart They brought up some reinforcement from the Illinois National Guard There was armored cars 'n tank...

'Tis a great victory for whiny deluded assholes everywhere!

Yeah, how DARE them truckers try to appropriate Quebec culture! Oops, I think I just oxymoroned. 'Scuse me.

Well, if our local representative of the Knights of the Road's anything to go by, truckers're a pretty horny bunch. Hmm. . . that's one way to get 'em out of Ottawa. Tell 'em there's a bunch of Mexican hookers in Saskatoon!

But. . . but. . . scary trucks!

Hypothetically. If I recollect right, his daddy REALLY knew how to handle terrorists!

Wow, didn't get very far, did it?

Um. . . they were swept under the rug. That's the answer to the question "What became of them?" Duh.

Further, he was not technically fucking at the time.
