Now trumpers have shut down the Mario Cuomo Bridge (formerly Tappan Zee Bridge)...

[George II]

....that crosses the Hudson River a little north of NYC. There were reports that a "caravan" is headed for the George Washington Bridge, too.

1. They are like out-of-control children

[The Wielding Truth]

2. Why? Is it to stop voting?

[drray23]

3. i dont think the governor is going to go for it...

hopefully cuomo shuts them down right quick.

[brush]

4. These a-holes are going to be so disappointed on Tuesday.

[panader0]

25. I hope they're in jail on Tuesday.

[yardwork]

5. Why do they think this will help elect Trump?

Spoiled brats blocking highways and bridges in NJ and NY, harassing the Biden campaign in TX - who thinks this is a winning strategy?

[Cha]

36. Idiots think it's a "winning strategy".

I don't think it would fly Especially in New York & New Jersey.

[Codeine]

6. Trump voters in New York,

also known as “people whose vote doesn’t matter so haha fuck you!”

[edhopper]

7. fuck them!

Small correction, the Mario Cuomo is a new bridge that replaced the old Tapanzee, which was demolished.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Pretty Much The Same Location

I used Tappan Zee a few times in the 90s. I read that the new suspension bridge was built right next to the old one.
The old bridge, even 25 years ago looked like it was in bad shape.
There were spots where I felt like the rust was what was holding it together.

[edhopper]

23. Yes

Built along side. But it was never the Tapanzee. We do rename bridges in New York, the Tri-Boro is now the RFK Bridge.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. Used That Too

Isn't that the bridge to go from LaGuardia to Manhattan?
Or is that JFK?

[edhopper]

66. Yep

Thats the one.

[MustLoveBeagles]

8. Gee I thought stuff like this was bad

Or is it only bad when a Democrat and BLM does it? Nevermind, I already know the answer to that.

[TeamPooka]

32. my thoughts exactly

[BlancheSplanchnik]

9. Garbage people.

Scum, vermin and parasites, all of them.

[CatMor]

10. What do they think they're accomplishing ...

New Yorkers already hate trump this will only make them hate him more. What idiots.

[Midnight Writer]

72. Exactly. Just a tantrum, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

[madaboutharry]

11. This is what happens when a country fails to properly educate people.

Ignoramuses.

[BComplex]

40. This!!! Yep.

[dalton99a]

12. Goddamn lowlife trash

[OrlandoDem2]

13. Where are the police??

[Volaris]

35. Busy beating BLM protesters for exactly the same behavior on the other side of town.

See my post downthread.

[FloridaBlues]

14. I guess this is their big support plan by jamming highways? Why! So people can't get to destination?

Are the state patrol around to get these people moving ?

[Yonnie3]

15. Ihis is an effective campaign tactic

It will obviously win the votes of those traveling today who have been delayed. They will see the light, change their mind and vote R.

[Arkansas Granny]

16. What point do they think they are making?

[Zoonart]

55. This is, I think, a threat.

See what we will do if we don't get our way?

Maybe I'm wrong, but nothing else seems to make sense.

You are right, seriously what is the point?

[DBoon]

58. They are practicing for their temper tantrum

The one they will have when Joe has a crushing win

[Tree-Hugger]

17. Welp, that'll turn NY red

Not.

[IcyPeas]

18. why/how are there so many of them? I despise these people.

[Newest Reality]

19. Optics?

Just think what independent and undecided voters, as well as uncertain republican voters will think of this as far as four more years goes.

This cavalcade of wing-nuts are reminiscent of Jihadists parading around. The optics could push many people over the edge when they see where the trend of Trump Tramplers goes. It might just appear to very ominous and foreboding.

They think this is a sign of their support for Trump, but they don't realize it may bite them in the ass, especially when it shows that they are only for themselves and their agendas, just like Dear Leader.

[Clearly fogged in]

57. The moments of foolishness that live with us forever.

Good for them.

[no_hypocrisy]

21. Another group shut down a part of the Garden State Parkway earlier today.

Choads. They closed the express lanes that nobody uses on the week-ends.

[Fiendish Thingy]

22. They know they are losing...last gasp death throes of a cult. Nt

[grantcart]

24. Doxx them and cite them with heavy fines.

[GReedDiamond]

41. At about 1:27 into the video, one of these domestic terrorists...

...has the phone number for his business plastered on the back window of his Y'allQueda pickup truck.

"Enterprise Construction Management & Painting" 516 996 2870.

[Zoonart]

26. Okay... so they are on the bridges.

Sooner or later they have to drive off the bridge and cops should be waiting on either side of the bridges to issue them some nice fat citations. They have sort have trapped themselves.

[George II]

31. One doesn't want to mess with the New York State Police. All sorts of violations have been committed

[spanone]

27. NAZIS

[Volaris]

29. I have to be honest, if those folks were BLM protesters, I wouldnt care,

So, giving them a pass here. it's their right to do so.

But since fair is fair, as soon as the sun goes down, I EXPECT the local cops to show up with riot gear and tear gas, and abuse the ever living FUCK outta their Civil Rights.

Because its ALSO what would happen to BLM protesters if they closed that bridge.

[Cha]

45. That's nice you're giving these Stupid

maggots for trump "a pass"..

I'm not.

[Volaris]

54. Il not giving them a pass on their REASON OR EXCUSE for closing the bridge,

I'm sure it isnt one that I would support at all.

But them standing out there is just fine with me. And it should earn the same response from the cops as if they were BLM protesters standing out there.

[Cha]

30. Yes it was Tappan Zee when I lived in

New York. I didn't know it had Gov Mario Cuomo's name now.

Hope the NY Cops get them!

[whistler162]

38. It is the replacement bridge

[Cha]

46. Thank you.. I read about that up thread

after I posted.

[Zoonart]

42. Brand new beautiful modern bridge.

It was built alongside the old bridge which was dismantled and taken away for scrap.

Named for Governor Mario Cuomo. At the time it was being built it was the most expensive and ambitious public infrastructure project
in the country, if not the world. It was completed ahead of schedule and on time under the guidance of Governor Andrew Cuomo.

So yeah... we Democrats actually know what we're doing. America... all this competence could be yours.

[Cha]

48. Thank you for that explanation, Zoonart!

[Zoonart]

52. Sure.

I know it intimately. I drove over it every week for five years to take care of my parents in Jersey.

I watched the entire process progress, weekend by weekend. It was pretty cool They had barges in the river to hold all of the supplies and event trailers for the work crews. They had the largest crane in the country to take apart the old bridge and erect the struts on the new.

3.1 miles long so it was a mammoth undertaking.

LOL more than you wanted to know, Cha.

[Cha]

60. Au Contraire.. I love all those fascinating

details! Mahalo!

I left Upper state New York in 2010 to retire to Kauai.. But in the 12 years I lived there.. I went into the city a few times with my sister, whose daughter lived there at the time. But I remember the name of that bridge.. & asked her about its unusual name.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tappan_Zee#:~:text=It%20derives%20its%20name%20from%20the%20Tappan%20Native,about%2010%20miles%20%2816%20km%29%20north%20of%20Manhattan.

Again, Thank you for your experiences with the Bridges!

[Mossfern]

62. We use it all the time to visit my son and his family in Connecticut

traveling from NJ. When I was growing up, we took the Tappan Zee bridge from Brooklyn and Queens to upstate.
I was somewhat sad to see it go. I loved the low approach where it felt like you were driving on the surface of the Hudson for a while.

I do admit that the Mario Cuomo bridge is very spiffy though.

[George II]

44. They built a new bridge alongside the old one and when it opened in 2017 it was named after....

...very popular Governor Mario M. Cuomo.

The bridge you remember has been demolished (or is in the process) I haven't seen it in person yet.

[Cha]

50. Thanks George.. I remember that

bridge coming into the City because it had such an unusual name to me and I asked my sister what it meant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tappan_Zee#:~:text=It%20derives%20its%20name%20from%20the%20Tappan%20Native,about%2010%20miles%20%2816%20km%29%20north%20of%20Manhattan.

[George II]

56. It seemed like an illogical place to build it since the river is almost at it's widest there....

...but it's also the shallowest.

I used to love coming off the high part of the bridge and then drive over that long low stretch that seemed like it was only a few feet above the water.

[Cha]

67. Interesting! Zoonart has some greatl

first hand details here of the new Mario Cuomo bridge being built along side..

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=14409151

Stupid Maggots messing with a Bridge Again. They learn Nothing.

[Totally Tunsie]

33. Arrest them all and throw them in the clink for a few days.

Hopefully these are the tRump humpers who haven't voted yet. Let them out on Nov. 4 - the day we stop hearing about COVID (per tRump).

[sinkingfeeling]

34. Why aren't they being pepper sprayed?

[Volaris]

39. Cause they're white. Does it even need to be asked OR answered, at this point?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

37. We should spread rumors this was actually a protest against tRump.

KY............ ......... ..........

[Totally Tunsie]

43. You WANT to take credit for this?

Why should we look like assholes?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

53. No, no credit but it might get the cops after their ass.

KY.............

[Totally Tunsie]

68. ...and we STILL look like the assholes!

No thanks.

Besides, how could this mess look anti-tRump? Not enough tRump flags?

(OK - now I know you're just kidding. )

[BlueNProud]

47. Why are they so proud of themselves?

[Budi]

49. "I'm the last thing standing between you & the Apocolypse" ...2016.. hrc

And it's only Sunday~~~

Shut down the right to vote - trumpnazis

[roamer65]

59. God wasn't she right.

I was never a Hillary groupie, but I will never understand why they hate her so much. She would have been a really good President.

[lindysalsagal]

51. The magat ads say liberals are radical, dangerous disruptors

But when we protest we get permits and don't stop traffic.

[Mr. Ected]

61. Thank God for Melania

Her anti -bullying campaign has obviously been a resounding success.

[Totally Tunsie]

71. It certainly reformed her huzzband, didn't it?

Be Best!

[BlueIdaho]

63. Where are Billy Barr's Secret Police?

Or can these lawless shits do any fucking thing they want because they are white?

[Ohio Joe]

64. Wait... They renamed the Tappan Zee bridge?

Born and raised in Closter... I've been gone too long... For a liberal, I sometimes hate change

[George II]

73. Yes. They built a new bridge parallel to the old one and now call it the Mario Cuomo Bridge....

Not sure if it's completely gone yet, but the old bridge is being demolished. Parts of the new bridge opened in 2017.

BTW, my first job out of college (1972) was in Cresskill, by mentor was from Closter.

Do you remember Hoke?

[LiberalFighter]

65. They need to be locked up in the cages along the Mexican border.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

69. You call that a bridge shutdown? Looked like normal NYC area traffic to me.

You wanna shut down a bridge, talk to Gov Chris Christie!

[nolabear]

70. Talk about pointless cosplay.

These are dangerous, immature, tough guy wannabes who are in the biggest, most disgusting circle jerk I have ever seen.
