"SNIP......
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said he hopes truckers would come to the United States as soon as this weekend to clog up streets in Los Angeles during the Super Bowl or next month to Washington, the Washington Post reports.
Said Paul: Im all for it. Civil disobedience is a time-honored tradition in our country, from slavery to civil rights to you name it. Peaceful protest, clog things up, make people think about the mandates.
He added: I hope the truckers do come to America, and I hope they clog up cities.

The GQP has decided that's their approach as well. Gum up the works; make things as miserable as possible for all. Hurt the Supply Chain, drive more Inflation.

(8,103 posts)We could be on the brink of a WW, and this ahole is urging truckers to clog up our infrastructure. Can you see this any other way? Even if we were trying to sit out a WW, this would severely impact our nation and its integrity.
Civil disobedience for WHAT? FOR WHAT?? Because we have Covid19 present and we want to stop it? The Trump Party is a vicious, fascist, antiAmerican POS! This guy is an example of a selfish, tRump-sucking, nonthinking piece of trash. White trash, all the way.

(18,714 posts)When BLMs protestors were taking to the streets across the US, plenty of Rand Paul types were all over the rw airwaves encouraging drivers to "run them down". Now some areas are passing laws legalizing that crap. Their hypocrisy is stunning and yet so predictable

What an ignorant jerk apparently voted in by equally idiotic jerks.

(11,767 posts)How will we be able to tell between the protest and just the average day in LA?
They might just be on the 60, the 101, the 10, the 5, the 134, etc...
I guess they can call them all protests.
