oh look, he's calling on his supporters to attack a whole city because of a court ruling...
sounds like a dangerous criminal to me...
Just a preview of what he plans if he is president again. He will call for attacks on all cities where he lost a trial. Except this time he would use the military to attack
When he was president he threatened to withhold federal funds from areas that didn't obey him.
Except this time he would use the military to attack
The US Military has been a growing cesspool of glassy-eyed goons and careerist chumps for decades. I don't even know if he has to win in order to get some Michael Flynn type to do a Yevgeny Prigozhin on DC.
Time to prep for suing him for damages.
Do it, we shouldn't even be sending this much shit by long haul trucking anyway. Let's revive CONRAIL under USPS, deliver more goods by freight rail, and just use small and medium trucks for last mile deliveries. Oh, and demolish urban interstates. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Oh, there's gotta be some kind of "collusion" or "racketeering" charge there.
Bunch of truckers about to lose their jobs.
Afterwards they will complain that they lost their jobs because they are being persecuted for their political beliefs.
Thanks, Obama.
They came here and took my jehb!
Weird, if he didn’t commit fraud maybe he should fight it in court and provide evidence that no fraud was committed…
But I guess rallying his idiotic supporters into trying to economically harm people who he wants to elect him is a strategy. Because anyone with a functioning brain would see that any damage done by this trucker campaign would surely only be felt by the average American.
What a piece of human garbage.

Just on time after the announcement of the building of 6 new ports on New York to reduce truck traffic in the city
All 10 independent truckers, that didn't drive into the city anyway.
No.wait.stop.don't.
There aren't even dozens of us!!
Why does this thumbnail make me so irrationally mad?
He looks like a little kid playing Tonka trucks, like a big one that the kid can pretend to drive.
Is he pushing one out or is one being pushed in right there? Hard to tell from his expression.
Maybe both.
I assume this will work out about as well as the convoy to the border did.
There are tons of truckers that already refuse to go into NY because they're afraid of the driving complication. No one will even notice this piss baby bullshit..
More lost wages? Genius!
Economic blackmail against the largest city in the country will certainly have the desired effect.
i don't even know what the desired effect is. you would think that they want the courts to be apolitical and not bow to outside pressure, and that's what sparked the protest, but now they are politicizing the court decision and trying to apply outside pressure.
there are lots of things this protest could effect, but the court's decision isn't one of them.
i don’t even know what the desired effect is
There is no such thing as bad publicity. Every other article is about that moron. Americans haven't learned one single thing about their own political system in the last 60 years.
People might claim that I'm wrong about that. But if I were wrong, there would be some sign of people starting to work together, no matter the party...
Americans haven’t learned one single thing about their own political system in the last 60 years.
American proletariat doesn't have any direct control over their media. The rich fucks that do are, largely, sympathetic to Trump's message of a white nationalist state that pillages its neighbors for wealth and prestige.
This kind of media isn't due to Big Dumb Americans being too stupid to realize how it helps the Orange Man. It is entirely deliberate, both because it generates a based audience willing to throw money towards conservative causes and because it fuels the Trump campaign by making him look strong and liberals in big cities look weak.
How many hundred million people live over there? Once your country belonged to the British.
My nation never belonged to Britain colonizer.
