Convoy
« on: March 07, 2022, 08:43:08 AM »
Seems the trucks are circling the DC beltway, and the front truck caught up with the back truck last night... 62 miles...
 
Anyone see anything on the news?
 
I hope they start slowing down today.

What articles I have found say that it is about 'Rona restrictions.
 
It's about a LOT more than that...

Where's the eleven long-haired friend of Jesus in a chartreuse micro-bus? It's not a convoy unless there's eleven long-haired friend of Jesus in a chartreuse micro-bus, dammit!

I feel bad for the convoy. With everything going on in the world, they are going to be "section B" news instead of front page news.

They were destined to be section B news from the start.  In fact, they might not even make it into section B.  Even on a slow news day.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

This. I think Big Media realized that ignoring the convoy would be more helpful to their interests than trying the usual racism/insurrection/muh-covidz playbook. After all, they've ignored the March for Life for some decades now...

They'll become front page news when it becomes political useful for the dems.
Wouldn't be surprised if someone in the media calls them "Putin's Convoy" at some point, they are getting fuel from Russia after all. And they're trying to put Trump back into power!

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
