Capitol Hill prepares for possible trucker protests with Jan. 6 security failure top of mind
Fox news ^ | 02/23/2022 | Chad Pergram

The trucks appeared on Capitol Hill early Saturday morning.

Not 18-wheeler rigs, barreling down across the Canadian border from Ottawa. But perhaps in anticipation of those vehicles arriving.

They were big trucks. Dump trucks. Garbage trucks. Snow plows with salt spreaders. Some emblazoned with the Architect of the Capitol stenciling on the side. The trucks blocked off portions of Pennsylvania and Maryland Avenues on the west end of the U.S. Capitol. U.S. Capitol Police then stationed some other cruisers with lights in other locations around the Capitol complex.

"Due to the Truckers Convoy, the following road closures are in effect until further notice," read an advisory from U.S. Capitol Police (USCP).

After what they’ve done to the patriots who protested the the Jan. 6, 2021 Big Steal, I wouldn’t go back into D.C. I would just advise the truckers to drive in a big slow circle of the D.C. beltway in VA and MD. The D.C. courts have no jurisdiction in those states.

Truckers need to be aware of Capitol Hill police waving them through and up the stairs into the Rotunda.

She should just call out the Capitol police and let them kill a couple unarmed women.

All security is subject to failure.

What we all hope for is that politicians in every country learn that barring people from engaging in their traditionally accepted manner of earning a living or forcing innocent mentally competent adults to put something into their bodies is not acceptable.

They probably won’t have to even ask them questions. Whenever the Feds try to pass themselves off as regular people, they always cluelessly overdo it and look humorously dorky.

The cuffed shorts, matching Raybans and wristwatches from the protest last summer (that never happened), for example.
