Democrat Rep. Ruben Gallego (AZ) called for seizing the trucks of protesters headed to Washington, D.C., and then giving the property to businesses looking to grow.
“Perfect time to impound and give the trucks to small trucking companies looking to expand their business,” Gallego tweeted in response to the following news headline: “Trucker convoy could shut down DC Beltway tomorrow.”

Hi.
Scratch a democrat on the surface to reveal his inner tyrant.
Example:
The J6 protestors are still in jail for trespassing.
DC is mostly democrats.
5.56mm
The wonders of Communist indoctrination bearing its fruit.
San Jose Calif politicians want homeowners to voluntarily ‘take in’ homeless persons.
NO MENTION of ANY recompense for food/utilities/damages/etc.
The county/city cannot build homeless facilities fast enough-—and the more you accommodate them, they more that show up.
So: Fill out this questionaire: ???
I would take in :
A. A serious drug offender who steals to support their drug habit.
B. I would take in a sex offender of who attacks victims of all ages.
C. I would take in a chronically mentally ill person whose family has known for years that they (he or she) is very dangerous.
D. I would take in a person with a life long criminal record who cannot be trusted.
E. Anything else you can think of.
YUP-—Sign me up for helping.......
NOT !!!!!
so, is this guy one one of those “moderate” Democrats the fake stream media keeps lying to us about?

Great, they can give them to illegals and terrorist Afghans that we flew in, no drivers’ training needed! Watch the fun ensue.
An inch of snow shuts down DC for a week.At this time of year DC isn’t working anyway.
Right biotch?
I’m guessing he’s far from being alone in that thinking....he was just stupid enough to say it out loud
I don’t think these drivers work for a trucking company. They are independent owner operators..USA Trucks or TMC are not going to let drivers use their trucks for protest.
You would think that someone in a position of trusted authority who publicly promotes multiple felony thefts would be held accountable ...
Sue the racist bastard. For inciting criminal behavior.
Where was the son of a bitch when the cities were burning and businesses were closing
You want my truck?? Come and get it ...you little Bit$h...WTF
It will not be possible to vet all the “legit” truckers and trucks. Feds will be able to insert themselves into the convoy at any of 100s of on ramps. Then they’ll uncover their sides, showing giant confederate flags, etc.
Be smarter than a buffalo.
——————
IIMO, Most citizen Patriots won’t fall for obvious DS propaganda such as Nazi flags and the lying media telling its lying lies. I’d also venture to say that only snowflakes would be offended by a confederate flag.
The USA is NOT Canada. We have moral and Constitutional standing regardless of what the DS tries to intimidate us with (like the J6 intimidation arrests).
There is no maybe about the convoy being infiltrated by bad actors, but they’ll show themselves soon enough - they can’t help it.
Based on his Marxist leanings, he needs to donate 110% of his income to his Republican opponent just to be fair.
You want my truck?? Come and get it ...you little Bit$h...WTF
Inside every Democrat is a screaming fascist yearning to be free. Too bad there are the pesky little problems of the First Amendment which includes the right to petition the government for redress of grievances, and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment which prohibits the arbitrary taking of private property. The Congressman seems not to have even a passing familiarity with either provision. My fear is that some federal judge may decide that just as the First Amendment neither protects the right of someone to yell fire in a crowded theater, nor does it protect the right of the truckers to protest a policy that impacts their lives in such a direct manner because the increased traffic that may result from a large caravan will cause unnecessary traffic problems. If the First Amendment is found not to apply, then there may be no due process issue involved in simply seizing private property of a “domestic terrorist” and giving it to someone else.
The fact that infiltrators are expected, will let everyone know they have to watch and listen for the bad guys. Chatter will identify anything suspicious quickly, and that driver will be stopping somewhere if only for a minute.
About 18 yrs ago I was trucking west one winter night on I-74 between Champaign and Bloomington, Il, when a clever plan developed to get a bad driver in a car off the road. The guy was possibly under the influence of something but was not driving eradically. He just wouldn’t get out of the ‘hammer’ (fast) lane.
He would drive along side a slow truck, and hold up traffic. If the slow truck slowed way down, the nut would stomp it up to the next slow truck and drive along side it. He would even drive in the fast lane to keep from being passed, then move to the slow lane if someone tried to pass on the right.
I was about a mile behind and heard the whole sequence, and flat as it is through there could see it unfold:
The dude caught up to a couple of slower trucks that purposely ran side by side, which forced him to pass on the shoulder (emergency lane), but that didn’t work because a truck in front of the truck in the right lane moved over too and slowed down. Now there were three trucks side by side blocking this dude at 65 mph. They slowed to about 50, as other trucks came up from behind. He had nowhere to go, as there was several inches of snow off the pavement (pavement was dry).
All this chatter had been monitored by a state trooper who came up, with discos on, and blew by me in pursuit. The chatter alerted the trucks to move to the slow lane, and let the trooper through.
If the trooper hadn’t come, the plan was to ‘escort him’ up the next off ramp. There was one trucker involved that said he had done something similar in the past. He calmly directed the whole thing, and was the truck that blocked the emergency lane.
