The Latest MAGA Truckers Protest Dud Lasted Mere Hours

•• Unpredictably short-lived.

It was interesting listening to what problems that are there for truckers going into NYC.

On top of defusing the initial issue.

Remember that Trump is a puffer fish. Always looks bigger than he is. Same for his more rabid admirers.

Apparently, that’s one persuasive grandson…I would’ve thought he’d’ve been proud his grandpa went viral.

Wonder what the grandson’s gonna get for birthday/holiday/graduation…Maybe a pair of Trump Sneakers?

A few years ago a trucker boycott brought the state of Colorado to its knees.

That’s news to the state of Colorado.

I once drove a Chevy S10 pickup truck into Manhattan with Kentucky plates. Back in the 90s. Got stuck in an intersection when the light changed and the horn honking started. Then the honking abruptly stopped. I still believe it was the KY plates that saved me. Don’t mess with a hillbilly, he might have guns. Then the light changed. :sunglasses: That’s my trucker story

Puffer fish are poisonous.

Notice how well the other common names for this toxic fish also describe Trump.

“ Tetraodontidae is a family of primarily marine and estuarine fish of the order Tetraodontiformes. The family includes many familiar species variously called pufferfish , puffers , balloonfish , blowfish , blowers , blowies , bubblefish , globefish , swellfish , toadfish , toadies , toadle , honey toads , sugar toads , and sea squab .[1]”

I love that John Oliver is trying to privatize the SCRAP Act (@txlawyer) . Do he or his writers troll these boards for content? I will wildly speculate and say “yes”.

Is the first phrase a reference to increased incidents of food poisoning in freedom-loving red states? Safety inspections be damned, and all that jazz.
