No trash bags? What are you going to do with all those plastic food packages when you’re done?
They do have trash bags on the list, at least.

They start in California, not? Give them Marijuana laced brownies, then after they crossed the state border hint to the authorities that drug smugglers are on the way.... :twisted:

I love how they think stickers saying "no mandates" or "free the people" aren't political...

No, they are saying DO NOT HAVE STICKERS like those, because they ARE political.

"Please note - Complete details regarding stopping points will be released in route - areas are intentionally non-specific due to the need to maintain operational security ...."

:rotflmao:

I do love it when conservative groups think they're doing something so important that they must shroud their plans is secrecy. :rotflmao:

This "convoy" is full of militia types ... only they would predict the need for operational security.

But their "goal is to ensure a safe, 100% lawful, peaceful journey ...".

How many firearms will be needed to maintain this "safe, 100% lawful, peaceful journey"?

Have they rented port-a-potties? Or are the requested donated buckets expected to do the job for this enormous convoy?

That was my first thought when I saw buckets with lids on the list. Brought back memories of Moo and Gasman setting up camp liberty two before they were evicted by the city for squatting.

Have they ensured that their trip does not cross borders into states where firearms are frowned upon without red tape?

Stinks of being the rule made to be ignored, which the lawyers say it might be good to point to later when the whole thing goes sideways and we need to say we tried.

So what happens after the entire collection of trucks and truckers disappears in the middle of the desert, lost without a trace?

The more I learn about this planet, the more improbable it all seems. :confuzzled:

You know, when the Taliban march on a city, they just bring a head of cabbage, a bottle of water, ammo, and a prayer rug.

Ask the Taliban or Hamas: either are highly motivated by failed fellow terrorists... :blackeye:

Cue "The Office" jokes, because it is a Convoy of One:


I started to research whether commercial-truck convoys were illegal, but I got bored.

I've been on that highway before, with the clouds looking just like that. It makes the hills look almost blue.

Pretty much what I expected.
Mainly yahoos in pickup trucks adorned with American flags, Trump crap, etc as they play out their part of the American Taliban.

I hope it all continues to be a nothing burger convoy, but by the time they all get to one spot it will be hundreds.

So pretty much Ottawa for the last 3 weeks. :lol: :lol:

I’m sure all those Canadian “truckers” with Trump flags accomplished a lot. :bored: :bored:

JUST IN: Ahead of trucker convoys arrival in DC, SECDEF has approved the provision of 400 DC National Guard personnel, 300 Nat Guard troops from neighboring states & 50 vehicles to support the DC Police at designated traffic posts thru 3/7.

If we don't do precision bombing with military ordnance, leaving massive craters in the Beltway, dropping those brick, sound-dampening walls into messy piles all around our nation's capital, and adding a generous measure of collateral damage, destroyed homes and cars and such, dozens of civilians dead and injured ... then the terrorists win.

These punks want to be tough, want to be in charge, they think they're the Wicked Witch of the West?

Cool story, bro. Drop a house on 'em. I'm feelin' ornery today. :boxing:
