Hey now, I will give him some credit.He can definitely sword dance -- and flag dance.

The rest, not so sure of. Do you notice he is always flying solo?

It is even mean of me to take pot shots at some dude who has likely mental illness.

Way sure I did not sign-up for that.

So they only answer legal questions? No representation in court? Not writing papers to be filed for them? $30 a month for stuff they can look up? Do they give them chapter and verse of the UCC for their $30?

And that guy has the most irritating voice I've heard in a long time.

No one anymore at the protest corner at the D.C. gulag. Sad. It was fun for a time with music and stuff. Now nobody there manning the site. Local authorities still keep the barricades in place. The vigil for Ashli and the J6 detainees.

1791 Storm Trooper is still on the scene vigilantly -- stoned outa his mind. :popcorn:



But then sometimes they show up.

Cross posted in Canada thread.

Report finds that Trudeau acted appropriately by invoking the Emergencies Act during the Freedom Convoy protest.

Lots of criticism of Doug Ford’s government.

Welp, UPDATE.

Nothing happening. This disintegrated in a manner I didn't expect. I have a youtube sub account subscribed to all the prolific previous streamers from the convoy. It's all dead. They are still out there. "Santa" still rambles on for an hour+ every two days --

You get OeroExpress going on about whatever he is feeling about transgender people.

Stoner 1st Responder Media is still a stoner.

Rinse, repeat for the whole lot of them...

etc, etc.

Thx neonx. I guess the convoy achieved all its objectives which were … ah, um, I couldn't remember what it was about so I looked again at page 1 of this thread and … I still don't know.

It apparently was not left wing or right wing, no, all christian dominionists were welcome. It wanted the government to honour the constitution, whatever that means (probably including those special parts about enforcing the supremacy of protestant christianity). Oh, and the election was rigged.

It seems that ultimately it was simply a flocking event for elderly Trumpistas, where they could bask in the agreement of like-minded assholes.

LOL. It wasn't just elderly Trumpistas. They were all a bit wack-a-doodle in the head.

I, too, can't remember what their mission was either -- it was so vague. Also, too, it seemed all white. :shrug:

When they went to Washington D.C. and made their so cleverly arranged traffic stoppage on the freeways surrounding the city, I was lmao. DId they make the national news? Nope. Were the cops nice? Yep. Leaders still got ticketed and warrants put out for their arrest.

In D.C. proper, no you cannot camp on the Mall. And no, you can't sleep in your vehicle. You can come and protest anything you want, but there are basic rules.

So then they leave and go hide in the woods. :lol:

I dunno, I'd hoped I think for a bigger flame out. There is old 80s Def Leppard song, "Rock of Ages" with a lyric "It's better to burn out than to fade away." -- The convoy just faded away. :shrug:

Yes, you're right about the not-always-elderly. And their lack of melanin.

I agree, it's disappointing how too few stupid right-wing nutjob stunts end in a spectacular crash and burn as we'd wish (because :twisted: ).

And how many never actually happen. Such as Kraptain Karl's krappy American Muppet Force never actually tried to encircle state Capitols (I think he was saying "we'll be protesting until they give in!" but actually nobody, not even he, turned up, iirc). And his Armada never set happened - I'm sure I wasn't the only one hoping to see these nutters go out in their little boats, get seasick, very bored, and start arguments and fisticuffs. Somebody would probably have been hurt, perhaps a few drowned, which wouldn't actually bother me greatly (on the FAFO principle, or simply "actions have consequences").

He is back to driving his rig to make money. I guess the grift dried up. :shrug: He still can't (or won't) find a barber to trim/groom/clean-up the horrid messy beard he has. :cantlook:

I am not going to post all 3 hours of stoner BS. But here is the end. If you are on your computer skip forward or back from where I marked it if you wish.



It must be nice that none of these people have had to work for the past couple years. AND, look at how respectful the DC law enforcement has maintained their protest area during these two years.

Okay, I do it for the people so you don't have to.

I went and investigated what the Convoy is up to. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The players still post vids but they are not anything to do with any organized movement. I scanned and searched for a video to post here, but there is nothing worthy. It's a very sad parade.

Sorry peeps.

But, I'm gonna give you one, just so you know I love you. Golden Chariot rides again.

Yes, but see, you know I love you. Plus, you can skip through and around in that video. The GC was on a Walmart mission for supplies. He even bought DIAPERS. (but he notes he doesn't know sizing not being a father himself). This is quality TV! And I appreciate knowing that I have not missed being in a Walmart in several years.

I could have done you worse. Santa droning on-and-on for more than an hour. Or crazy dude Josh/Oreo also every show is more than one hour of nothingness.

This was obvious with the Bundy cult and has gotten worse. Anyone with a phone and an inflated view of self is a "journalist" or a media star, and every mundane thing they do must be preserved for history. (Until the law wants it, then DELETE DELETE DELETE).

"For completeness," this convey protest grift was in response to/in support of the original 2022 Canadian protest, which actually was protesting ... requiring cross-border truckers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

That was part 1. Part 2 was sitting in lawn chairs and hillbillying the National Mall while hassling educating passerby. And doing drugs.

And poop buckets. Very important component of the movement.

You know, those are very good points. So, thank you for sparing me losing 58 minutes of my life for not having to wade through it.
