Midnight monday has already passed.

The Dems shot a Republican congressman, they chased down rally attenders, dragged Trump thru the courts for 8 years and then tried to kill him several times. Then there was the Covid hysteria.

There is ample proof that the country will be in chaos this election. Look at the riots when Trump was sworn in the first time he won.

If you are not prepared for chaos you are a fool. My wife asked what we need for the strike. I told here I will pick up some cotton balls and toothpaste. Her family is all panicked.

How many years has it been since the Covid scare? Plenty of time to get something set up.

I’m good to go, both of my wine fridges are at 110% capacity, and October is a wine club pickup month. Tax season is nearly over, too. No more overtime

We have a better chance of Donald Trump swooping in and negotiating a deal here.

We will suffer while the Democrats are gifted a ready-made excuse for a bad economy.

And of course there will need to be a sweet sounding new and costly federal bailout to fix everyone.

I live outside of Mobile, Al. We have a pretty large container port. I was just thinking of the secondary repercussions of this. My son used to work at a trucking company that moved containers locally (there are a lot of companies like this near the port). No way he would not have been laid off during this if he were still there. I hope the company he’s with now does not depend on trucks from the port, but I’m not 100% sure. Lot’s of people will be in trouble from the effects of this strike. There’s a ton of support that serves these ports.

Transportation Secretary Buttplug can't be bothered - he's busy trying to prepare Tampon Timmy for a butt-kickin'.

I am very surprised Biden’s handlers taking a blasé attitude about it - there is no benefit anywhere for Harris anywhere in this situation.
A possible advantage could be a wholely managed scenario and outcome: "During an acrimonious strike, Harris brings quickly brings both sides together. What a leader!"

But I doubt they could set that up. A strike is a strike, usually.

Another disaster that could be avoided if Trump were still Prez.

Biden is not going to break that strike. No way.

they know this can’t be good for Kamala...

Putting my tinfoil hat on here:

Maybe the deep state finally figured out that kamala is a worthless ditz and they are setting all this up to “help” her fail. She can’t handle the flooding in Tenn/NC/GA/FLA.
She won’t do anything to fix the border.
She has no loyalty to anyone and the same works in reverse.

I know the dims live to win and rule, but maybe they have figured that they have a worthless candidate on their hands that they can’t rehab.

Tin foil hat off.

Perhaps the plan is to let Trump win, then engineer the collapse on his watch.

I would not put that past them.

Maybe they figured that between the massive incompetence of Kamala and the sheer hugeness of pissed offness of the American citizen, they don’t stand a chance.

So let Trump win then crash it all and blame him.
I hope he has contingency plans in place.

“I know the dims live to win and rule, but maybe they have figured that they have a worthless candidate on their hands that they can’t rehab.”

Tinfoil hat indeed. They think they can gas-light anything. They’ll just gas-light all the non-flood victims into believing that the flood victims were rescued and safe, and taken care of, when in reality, they cruelly drown them. Then they’ll have all the dead flood victims vote Dem. It’ll be a landslide.

But E5! What if Trump wants to hold a rally for the flood survivors, and make an appearance in their neck of the woods? Simple enough. Nobody will return his phone calls, because they’re all dead, and he’ll be greatly hurt and figure he’s lost the flood zone vote because of the great job Kamala did, and keep on trucking in all the non-flood states.

Maybe they're waiting for Gavin Newsom in 2028.

I doubt there’s “no action,” since there are already reports of the Federal Mediation people trying to work a deal.
