Probably letting folks die so that Trump looks bad. Wouldn’t put it past teamsters of the Dems.

If I was Trump I’d do what Regan did to the flight controllers. Tell them to show up at work or be fired and then hire non-union people.

Compare the actions of Frente Amplio

To that of the Cajun Navy.

When will Trump demand they get back to work (via Twitter)?

The trucks are there. The supplies are there. The fuel is there. Put our military in those trucks, armed and with orders to shoot to kill if interfered with and you will see progress. Send military police, by any means necessary, to each driver’s home and arrest them if they refuse to willingly go to their duty site.

Yep. There are truckers here in the States that would do it as well. Of course those guys would need military support and protection because the union goons would try and stop them.

That was my first thought when I saw her shirt. Probably sent to her by U.S. democrats or media.

Exactly!

You’d get union thugs killing people in this situation though.

I’d hold the union leaders directly responsible

If their members go postal, they would lose everything.

Let them know it up front. Their family would become homeless.

The flight attendants, though union, were still Federal employees.

The trucking companies are private firms, with non governmental workers.

What a pathetic display with that tshirt.
After 911 I remember flight attendants wearing tshirts that said, “Help us we’re dying at 30,000 feet.” Because ‘Bush wasn’t working fast enough to protect them from terrorism.’

Martial law now!

Sounds easy enough.

Now think the political ramifications through.

Stupid liberals, media and half of the talk show hosts...

They should pack up and go to P.R. and take Antifa with them, plenty of space for everyone to build their own ‘island’ heck maybe even Bill Clinton will come and look around and have an ‘island’ of his own like Epstein!!!

For Christ’s Sake, when does a state of Nation stand up for itself? They can’t fend for themselves, they can’t build to withstand the local weather, now they can’t clean their own roads or even deliver food and supplies that are delivered to them?

And their incompetence is OUR fault?

Just die already, and let someone worthwhile clean up, rebuild and then we
can deal with them in the future.

Truman seized control of the rails and steel mills in the early ‘50’s. There is a precedent, of sorts.

REALLY???

Who owns the trucks???

Are the drivers private citizens???

Send the military police to each drivers home to arrest them.
What laws have they broken?
Reminds me of when the Brits were in the US colonies.

Do you believe in this?

Give the Cruz bitch EVERYTHING they need, food, trucks, gasoline, supplies, etc.

Then, pack up all our guys and bring them home.

Let HER show an ounce of leadership and implement all the supplies, and rebuild her own damn island.
