Truckers, or dudes who play truckers on tv? As Roy points out, their media relations operation seems more on point than their knowledge of how commercial transport works in the five boroughs.
I know next to nothing about the trucking biz, but if you work for some trucking company based in Nebraska, how often do you get a shipment to New York City? Don't you just spend your whole life shuttling between Omaha and Kansas City?
Once again, the Maestro has banged out a piece that takes the breath away.
The initial hurdle for me is this trucker idiocy. After a very modest success in DC -- part of which clearly included making an impression on Roy (sort of how I felt about the tourists crowding Grand Central before retirement) -- and subsequent failures in Toronto, at the site of the Illegal Immigrant Invasion in Texas (itself something of an Edroso Joint® come to life and now this wherein the crackers will be defeated by the GWB -- who in their right mind cares. To quote America's Most Beloved First Lady, when it comes to manly men cosplayers, I really don't care, do u?
But this piece is a gem.
Really, some of these pieces should be collected into, like, quarterly print-on-demand books for sale at Amazon. Roy can become the commie political satirist near-equivalent of Dr Chuck Tingle.
If any of this is in any way "real," they will lose their jobs 2 seconds after refusing the route, to be swiftly replaced, and capitalism will roll on, and the residents of Queens will never feel a lapse in the availability of Snickers ice cream bars at their favorite bodegas.
I strongly suspect any trucks we see in any alleged "convoy" driving around while refusing to make deliveries to NYC are either MAGA truckers on their days off, or are truckers who don't deliver to NYC anyway. No more than a handful of imbeciles are going to turn down money because a judge in NYC ruled against Trump.
You underestimate the number of imbeciles who love Trump.
I see them on TV, hear them on the radio, meet them in real life: They know Trump is an honest man being hounded by partisans for political gain. He's an honest businessman!
He's an honest businessman who has been
Convicted of running a fraudulent university and had to pay tens of millions of dollars AND sign a consent decree that he would never have any business like that again.
Convicted of running a fraudulent charity, and got his entire family barred from being involved in ANY charity. Forever.
Convicted of defrauding banks and other businesses out of tens of millions.
How many times in how many ways in how many states and in how many trials does Trump have to be proven to be a conman before his imbecile followers get it?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: what makes this (ludicrous) position plausible to a lot of people is the fact that he has been criming like this for 50+ years and nobody stopped him. Clearly corrupt players and systems in NY have conspired to protect him, and certainly other wealthy NYC real estate types (looking at you, Kushners). Had he been prosecuted for something years ago, the whole world might have been spared a lot of pain.
Commercial real estate developers in NYC have often made organized crime syndicates look like daycare centers. But from a gangster boss all the way down to a penny-ante conman, most criminals understand rule one is don't draw undue attention to yourself. So ironically enough, if Trump had never ridden down that escalator in 2015 he likely never would have been prosecuted or sued for any of it.
Decades of criminality just ignored, because it's just so COMPLICATED and DIFFICULT to prosecute people who can afford lawyers, let's just meet our quota by prosecuting subway fare-jumpers.
But no, that's not enough, then let's take the criminal and put him on national TV and lie to everyone about his business acumen and treat him as an object of worship.
Yeah, it took a LOT of work by a lot of really smart and powerful and influential people to create this monster. He couldn't have done it without them. It's a shame that his massive narcissism prevents him from thanking them properly, because I'd like to have a list of names.
Don't forget he is also an adjudicated rapist who has to pay millions for defaming his victim. For me, that's really the jewel in the crown of his limitless malfeasance.
Yeah, there are plenty of Trump imbeciles. But exactly how much bread and butter cash are they willing to sacrifice? Some will lose money for him, sure. P.T. Barnum understood this type. But most won't, or can't.
We all have the specific example that sets our blood boiling, but for me it's Trump University. Probably because I'm a community-college teacher who sees working-class folks trying to get ahead with some education, and to see those people as easy marks to be robbed and left destitute takes a special kind of monster.
I once worked at a company that handled correspondence for the US Dept of Ed, and we had to write responses to people pleading for help that they’d taken out student loans for a college that suddenly disappeared with their money and left them on the hook for the loan. These were disproportionately from (at the time) Louisiana “beauty schools,” which seemed odd until I learned that people needed that certification to open a Barber Shop in their neighborhood.
Jesus. And you can bet the small-government conservatives who hate government regulation of businesses were all for heavily regulating nail salons. Across the street from the nail salon is a refinery pumping carcinogens into the air 24/7.
Cruz et al. like to sneer at "Lesbian Dance" majors who want their school tuition money back, when this is the reality. And working class people are the ones who know it best!
Now I'm thinking of Trump University linking up for some reason with Bark Weiss' cosplay college I thankfully can't recall the name of, and now I want to poke my mind's eye out with an imaginary pencil.
Also thinking of the poor bastards who took "get a degree for a job in the new economy" only to get scanned and then have their potential job outsourced anyway.
I would like to believe this, but I live adjacent to upstate NY. And any casual cruise through the countryside will show you hundreds of broken-down single wide and double-wide trailers completely festooned with Trump flags and signs. Trump charges a lot of money for that crap, and these poor assholes put out for Trump while living in squalor.
Oh, sure. Like I said the other day, they'll allow the leopard to nibble on their faces if he devours the faces of the people they don't like. I see the same whenever I'm forced to venture into rural Pennsylvania. But I was speaking about the truckers, I should have made that clearer.
Hey, isn't the Kitchen Table where Real Americans have their tough talk about pocketbook issues? (Am I doin' this right? Can I have my Democratic-party consultancy now?) Anyway, I can easily imagine some tired, long-suffering wife saying, "Jesus Christ, Donnie, you spent HOW MUCH on WHAT?"
My uncle whose generally decent life is a string of (self-inflicted) hard luck stories keeps buying Trump flags to fly on the property line of my mom and dad to piss them off.
You know, I hadn't really thought of Trump in terms of being a Revenge of the Nerds figure before. I mean he's definitely an avatar of resentment, but I always thought of it more in terms of resentment to social change rather than specific hard luck. Interesting.
I know I've said this before, but on our regular drives from Western NY to the ADKs, we gauge the number and age of the MAGA displays, and, anecdotally speaking, they are going down or rotting away. Not much recent swag on display. Tapped out?
Actually, in the wake of the Jean Carroll trial, NY State changed the wording of the laws so that what he did (digital penetration ewwwwwww) is now considered Rape.
This morning at the McDonald's drive thru I followed a vehicle piloted by a large adult toddler who looked like Larry Bud Melman, apparently unfamiliar with the concept of “lanes” or “turn signals,” with, shall we say, “inadequate” reaction time for a driver, with junk piled in the back window, a disabled license plate, and a crooked OAN bumper sticker. [chef’s kiss]
Based on the driving and the open mouthed eating I saw (and he really shouldn’t have been dividing his attention, given his abilities), this person seemed barely one step above “limited.”
It's like some 50's teen romance where Judy falls in love with Teen Delinquent, and Mom and Dad try to set her straight, and she runs off to her room crying, "You don't UNDERSTAND him like I do! Everybody's AGAINST him!"
LOL. It really is. But it's also the mark's resistance to admitting they've been conned. If you voted for Trump in '16 and '20, donated a couple of hundred to his campaign, are on the outs with neighbors and relatives because of your support, an odd quirk of human nature is it's easier on your ego to stay the course than admit you've been played.
Fool that I am, I still hold out hope that there's some kind of exit for these people where they never admit they were wrong (oh no, they could NEVER do that) but they just back away slowly like Peter melting into the bushes. Maybe the sign-off is "Ah, this politics stuff is ALL bullshit!" I'd be perfectly happy if their wise-guy stance evolved into "Voting is for suckers", I'll send 'em that one George Carlin video if that would help.
This "movement" is such obvious bullshit that it boggles my mind that anyone would take it seriously. Truckers by and large cannot pick and choose which routes and jobs they will make unless they want to go broke. Owner-operators (independent) truckers are a tiny minority. It's not a nation of B.J. and the Bear out on the roads in their personal vehicles, picking and choosing routes based on what FOX news tells them. As with any issue, you can certainly find some subset of guys who will actually participate (what a word in this case!) in this fauxcott. But I don't think any city, let alone NYC has anything to be concerned about.
Yeah, well, just you wait. It'll be just like the Siege of Leningrad. Fancy Manhattan elitists will resort to cannibalism at their swank cocktail parties thanks to these brave patriots. 9/11! Never forget!
You mean you can LOOK BACK AT STUFF and actually find out what happened? *gasp* This is amazing!
(Every couple days I stop at one of the c-stores on the way to the tedium mine and get a cappuccino, and I routinely check the NY Pisst on the rack to see what they're bent out of shape over today. For a while there it was "pro-Hamas protests" wall-to-wall; yesterday it was something about migrants and debit cards. No idea if they have embedded video inside the paper of young Black men criming, but I assume they're working on it.)
You saw where an Idaho MAGAt legislator has a bill to stop “ human composting” as a way of dealing with the corpses of the dead, because “you’re eating humans!!”
A moment’s reflection might lead one to conclude every bit of food probably, even statistically, has some atoms that were previously used in a former human.
“We, in the Royal Navy have the cannibalism problem completely under control! And by completely, I mean there’s not much.
And what do you think the Argyles ate at Aden? Arabs??”-M. Python from memory.
Yep. My mother in law used to work in the financial office of a small trucking company, and the way these “independent truckers” are portrayed on TV is absolutely not the way any of this works. But the media coverage just plugs them into a script from an old B-movie western, and we’re off and running.
I’ll pass on commenting on delusional truckers and go straight to the latest from Talibama, where on “Judges Hospital,” the daily soap about a bunch of old white Christofascists pretending to be doctors, they’re telling the wimmenfolk their fertilized ova have more rights than they do. Sweet home, Talibama, where the zygotes are people, too.
This development is curious to me, because, as I understand it, some of the fundies are very much agin any kind of reproductive assistance such as the test tube kind. Elder male kinfolk impregnating girl children is preferable (and God-approved), compared to any kind of science-based intervention.
Well, you know, once that PURE MAN SPERM touches the NOBLE WOMAN EGG, it's a full human being with all human rights no backsies even if it's frozen. I hear work is being done on the TR-15, a fetus-sized assault rifle capable of being implanted in the uterus.
Hey, Doctors of America, you feeling the teensiest bit disrespected yet? I mean, sure, at your income level those tax breaks can be tempting, but are you sure you wanna keep voting for a party that's demonstrated absolute contempt for you and everything you've spent years and years learning?
Red docs are feeling some discomfort as the results of their voting patterns include not being able to have that IVF pregnancy they waited for till they had the house, lake cabin and boat.
What were these truckers hoping to accomplish? Lots of these guys live day to day. They need to get paid.
Truckers, or dudes who play truckers on tv? As Roy points out, their media relations operation seems more on point than their knowledge of how commercial transport works in the five boroughs.
I know next to nothing about the trucking biz, but if you work for some trucking company based in Nebraska, how often do you get a shipment to New York City? Don't you just spend your whole life shuttling between Omaha and Kansas City?
Odd how they squeal about Biden's Inflation and yet are willing to forego collecting a paycheck in the name of petty grievances.
Squeal?? Smile when you say that, padnah.
True dat. Oh, you want to starve to prove a point? Be my guest, be my guest, put your meddle to the test...MFer.
I suppose I could have used "shriek".
I laughed so hard at "cancelled my favorite show, Young Sheldon" it took me a full five minutes before I could read the rest. Well done.
Mine was "you mean he's a servant?" and fortunately it was at the end.
Steve Rubbisher and his five flatmates are envious they didn't inherit a real estate empire.

Thinkin about it
I wonder how the (capitalist) employers of these truckers will be reacting to losing money and customers in the name of supporting Trump?
If any of this is in any way "real," they will lose their jobs 2 seconds after refusing the route, to be swiftly replaced, and capitalism will roll on, and the residents of Queens will never feel a lapse in the availability of Snickers ice cream bars at their favorite bodegas.

It wasn't RAPE, it was SEXUAL ASSAULT (per Rudy). I smell a winning campaign slogan...

When I spot a MAGA sticker on the Thruway, I just have to pull up and get a look. Idiot in the wild.
Based on the driving and the open mouthed eating I saw (and he really shouldn’t have been dividing his attention, given his abilities), this person seemed barely one step above “limited.”
I think the technical term you're looking for is "cognitive bandwidth."
I seem to be "lucky" enough to see Thin Blue Line flags.
Oh yeah. And Punisher stickers with the Thin Blue Line fascist flag added.
Not for nothing, even a MAGA-deluded moran knows that diesel fuel is expensive & driving anywhere unreimbursed would snap them in half financially...
Thanks a lot, Biden! I remember when Trump was President and diesel was FREE!
It's like some 50's teen romance where Judy falls in love with Teen Delinquent, and Mom and Dad try to set her straight, and she runs off to her room crying, "You don't UNDERSTAND him like I do! Everybody's AGAINST him!"

Hell, for a couple of hours during the Super Bowl, these lunatics persuaded themselves that they loved SAN FRANCISCO.
As opposed to that cesspool of degeneracy, Kansas City....wait, I have to go lie down in a dim room for a bit, it's all too confusing....
Well, it is a cesspool of decadence and hedonism if your kink is BBQ.
"He approached me with the bottle, his hand over the label.
'What... what flavor is it?' I asked in a husky voice.
'Carolina mustard' he said, touching my breast with the basting brush and forcing a quiet moan from me..."
Kansas City is a wonderful city of art deco buildings and public fountains, as well as a cesspool of racism and (formerly?) organized crime. With BBQ!
"Kansas City: come for the architecture and zesty sauces, stay for the Klan rallies and mob hits." Nope, needs workshopping.
They got some crazy little women there...
From what Alex Jones says, I understand the elitists already indulge in cannibalism.

It’s incredible
You bring out the Oedipal in me
