Is there any chance these truck drivers have a better plan than the brave Canadians who tried the same stunt?

I heard Nancy was going to put up a chain link fence around the whole city...

It may be very hard, I doubt I could do it, but I think any DC protest must follow the example set at the Edmund Pettus Bridge so many years ago. And even that would not solve the problem of agent provacateurs.

Should not go into that shit hole.

Should block the whole dam place along the beltway and lay siege.

Another Trump insurrection in the making.I hope these guys are prepared to do 18 months in jail...with no bail...while awaiting their treason trials.

You'd have no trouble running it if you were under orders from Rat Party Headquarters.

“There are exceptions, such as certain ceremonies and reporting while indoors.”

Yes. But they were outside in the photo, which is what I was addressing.

“I don’t want my civil servants to be warriors.”

Well, there are warriors and there are warriors. I have no problem with uniformed police and firefighters rendering a salute, as they are warriors in their own right.

I agree, this is risky. I don’t know why they don’t just do a work stoppage. They have the power to bring the whole country to a standstill without even leaving their homes.

The Capitol wall and fences will be going back up.

Nancy, just put a fence or wall around the People’s house and be done with it.

Oh wait, fences and walls don’t work?

Except around your SF mansion.

I honestly have no idea of police protocol when it comes to saluting.

However, we (military) salute each day outside while in Physical Fitness Uniform which has no cover other than a fleece watch cap only when below 40 degrees.

It’s generally the norm as you say. However, there are exceptions both outside and indoors.

In the picture in question, is that department’s prescribed uniform without a cover? Is that police officer out of uniform? Is there a ceremony ongoing which precludes the wearing of a cover? There are a lot of unknowns that would need to be answered.

To your second point, I’m not disparaging the work of police in my preference of them not rendering hand salutes. It’s just my philosophical preference as I would hope they wouldn’t need to be warriors and could focus on service. However, I understand that’s not the case.

Biden better stock up on banana pudding fast before it’s gone from DC shelves.

I don’t know if anyone has suggested this yet, but it was done a few thousand years ago. How ‘bout the truckers circle the White House (or all Washington D.C.) for six days and on the seventh day blow their truck’s horns. It worked in Jericho. See Joshua, chapter 6.

Capitol police are allowed to assassinate unarmed citizens at point blank range as long as they're traditional Americans, conservatives, vets, or Truckers.

Two standards: One for the pets of white liberal 'elites' and one for the rest of us.

If capitol police kill a black democrat, common criminal, looter, drug addict, or illegal the cop will go to prison.

So if you're 'protesting in DC ' try to have a drug addicted child molester with you - preferable black - then you won't be murdered by capitol police.

Fascism and totalitarianism one party state (uniparty).

Remember “Women’s March”

“March for ‘Science’”

These weren’t represented as dangerous events.

The truckers should be headed for state capitols. DC will just turn into a Jan 6th or Ottawa.
