1. Good of them to let the Capitol Police know.

They’re not going to disrupt anything except traffic along the way. I hope people are brave enough to disrupt them all along the way, but I know that’s easy for me to say.

5. Commercial trucks are very big, and my car is very small. Chances of my trying to "disrupt" ...

… a convoy: zero.

Also, have you ever met someone who got pushed off the road by a hostile trucker? I have. She was on the passenger side gripping the window frame when the car rolled. She lost a lot of her right hand.

15. I wasn't forced off the road but I was almost sandwiched

between an 18-wheeler and the car in the next lane when the truck driver decided I was in the way. No signal, no notice of any kind, just started pulling into my lane. TG the car on my other side saw what was happening and sped up so that I could pull in behind him. I'm scared to death of trucks and give them wide berth.

20. Yeah, sanity is no longer anything you can count on.

Maybe tire poppers.

2. More of Putin's little helpers

[rockfordfile]

4. I agree

[Walleye]

6. We need to start pounding them with that. Are they on Putin's side or the United States?

During the Cold War you didn’t attack the president unless you were a commie.

3. have fun smelling each others' fumes all the way across America

7. DC Police Traffic and DC Police appreciate the heads up

Idiots. This guys is 'running' in Maryland for Governor. Be interesting to see how they make it through the bad weather that's starting next week.

Selfish little brats.

[Budi]

8. Maybe the weather will stall them.

This may be to the north a bit but thiings can change

[Ohio Joe]

9. Denver is just a few miles away...

Interesting

10. I'll alert the Missouri Highway Patrol then. What's the purpose of going to Wash. DC, if anything,

to solely disrupt and cause nothing but trouble and interfere w/ my rights too as an American citizen.

And by the way, I do want to know the state of the union, and with your ridiculous truck convoys who have ignored pleas to stop w/ the honking etc., that is, peaceful demonstration (no horns) seems to be out of the picture with these over-the-top protesters, who seem to be making up reasons as we go.

And what the hell are they protesting for anyways? The mask edicts are slowly going away, COVID vaccines are still being administered, but seem to be trailing off (but I suspect that this will migrate to an annual tradition).

If anything, the blaring of hundreds and perhaps thousands of truck horns is definitely disturbing the peace and infringing on rights of citizens to listen to what's being reported on (a component of the freedom of speech). I don't recall pulling in front of a truck recently, and then slowing down. I don't recall carrying a sign protesting the slow delivery of some groceries that I was waiting for, at my grocery store, I accepted it. And remember, all of us have gone through the COVID 19 journey together, not just you, so if you want to whine, go elsewhere. Don't screw around w my life because you have issues and can't obviously handle them.

11. Why do they all look like Rasputin

[DET]

16. True

I usually think serial killers, but you have a point.

[Budi]

12. Temp drops coming next week. Keep those trucks running 24/7

[AngryOldDem]

13. This should be interesting when they get to Indy.

Major construction on I-70 through downtown. It’s not the straight shot these jackasses think it is.

[global1]

14. Didn't We Just Have A Shortage Of Trucks And Drivers.....

Wasn't that part of the problem of why stores weren't stocked with supplies and ships were waiting to be unloaded in ports.

And now all of a sudden - we're going to have trucks and drivers forming a convoy and crossing this country?

They have time and energy to protest (whatever they're protesting) - but they can't do their jobs and get needed product to the stores.

They're not doing their job to help our economy.

This is what should be communicated to the American People.

17. Lol. Start in LA? When, 1am?

Maybe they'll.be able to get out of California if they start around Barstow (when the drugs kick in) or Needles. But if they try to start "a Convoy" anywhere west of the Cajon grade, they'd be stuck in a traffic jam they caused for days just trying to get past the weight station in Riverside.

That is if they have more than 10 privately owned trucks and a few dozen pickups. I-20 and I-40 have enough congestion on normal days year-round.

Anyway, CHP will shut that shit down because 1) it's f'n dangerous to drive the passes with basically an empty 18 wheeler, especially when there a high probability of Santana winds, and 2) MAGA idiots can be expected to drive unsafe and be pulled over as soon as they start hazarding the multitude of other drivers who are on the freeway minding their own business.

Road rage is a serious problem here. Driving through LA and Riverside County isn't like driving on the 40 east of Flagstaff. It's more like driving the Beltway loop.

18. And before long Faux will announce which "reporter" will ride along

to provide up-to-minute updates for their "patriotic" viewers.

[Leith]

19. This will be hilarious!

They're taking the central route! They're going to have winter weather as soon as they get to Utah, and it's going to be horrible crossing the Rockies with all those empty big rigs. I lived in Indianapolis for a winter and it was co-o-old. At that time of year, even I-40 wouldn't be easy.

Not that I want them warned or anything.

[Chainfire]

21. There is a cure for law violating tractor trailers.

It is called the D-8 Caterpillar tractor. Just push it to the curb...I think that a small fleet of these common pieces of construction equipment would be just the trick. Let the trucker work out the damage with his insurance company. They will push 80,000 pounds around like it was a pull toy.

[Tommymac]

22. Looks like they may take I-68 to avoid PA Tolls. Good Luck with that.

If so they will be going through Garrett County, MD which has the absolute worst weather on the East Coast, and over a mountain pass near Frostburg, MD that has thick pea soup killer fog very often this time of year.

To Make DC at noon they will be driving it at the worst time of the morning. There is also a major Weigh Station on top of that pass - it will be busy to say the least.

Then they'll drive down I-270 from Frederick, MD during the morning ... BWAAAAHAAAAHAAAAHAA

And this leader wants to be Gov of Maryland????

Dumbass

[Initech]

23. Just reported this to Twitter as threatening violence.

Fuck these assholes!

[Emile]

24. Now we have Americans mimicking Canadians. How copycat of them. I

remember a time when the world copycat us.

[lindysalsagal]

25. Because disrupting congress worked so well last time...

These people need a hobby.

[GoCubsGo]

26. Unauthorized vehicles are not allowed anywhere near government buildings.

They haven't been for decades. Not since the Oklahoma City bombing or 9/11. These assholes might disrupt the Beltway, but they're not going to get anywhere near the Capitol, or any other federal facility, in order to disrupt the SOTU address.
