the Canadian Truck stunt was just another grift...

At some point in time, we have to stop giving these people any space .. the crazy's as we love to call them, are nothing but grifters... they have just found another way to part people from money and live on others.. there might be a few who actually believe this crap.. but most are out there for the handouts from crowdfunding..

they are not people of principle suffering in the cold.. have you ever been in a big rig?? they are grabbing money and being the grifters that the grifting group has always been!!

80% of Canadians are vaccinated and 90% of Canadian truckers... so who are these bums blocking product going between Canada and the US.. stealing money out of workers pockets... and yes that is what they are .. bums.. GRIFTERS

We should approach this type of nonsense in a similar fashion in this country.
And if the gun toters want to play that card we shouldn't shrink away from them either. We can defend ourselves too.

Enough is enough.

Outside groups are funding this performance. We now know part of the funds are coming from the Christian Right-Wing and Fox News has been and is serving as the grift's cheerleader, hoping this blockade spreads to American cities.

Because it's all about the chaos and money for criminals, con-artists and political disrupters, money they'll eagerly take from the gullible and misinformed.

Shut them down. Shut them all down.

they are sprouting up everywhere (the chaos driven).. and what was with Lindsey Graham calling for us to be invaded and our cities clogged up by trucks today.. who do these people owe their allegiances to.. it certainly is not to the worlds Democracies.. Kentucky has auto plants.. GM is in Bowling Green or was.. Toyota is there too... why they are not calling Graham out on that on is beyond me..

There is little that can be done, but at least gofundme shut down one of their accounts, they should give the money back as well.
