Yes, brakes can be released manually, as you note, or even trucks that need to be towed (broken down or in an accident) could never be towed.
I know you’re talking about the MAGAts, but I still think that about the events of 1/6. When the traitors were storming the capitol, hit 'em with water from a fire truck. In that weather, they would have rethunk their actions. plus, bonus fun of watching them fall off the wall.
Meanwhile, the “Trucker for Trump” whose idea this was has already chickened out.
Damn bills to pay! Getting all in the way of my retribution!
That makes sense—though I’d bet those with the means bought at least two pairs. One to ‘preserve,’ and one to wear to rallies to make the other morons envious.
Not only is it still there, GoFundMe says it does not violate the terms of service.
In the aftermath of Trump being slammed with a whopping $355 million fine for fraudulently inflating his assets in financial documents by a New York court, MAGA supporters started raising funds via GoFundMe to offset the fine for the billionaire mogul.
The page, launched by Elena Cardone, the wife of real estate mogul Grant Cardone, has since raised over $500,000 and counting. However, several individuals took to social media to call out GoFundMe, saying that the fundraiser violates their policy. Some even put up screenshots of the company’s terms of service in a bid to draw their attention to their complaints.
In response to the callouts, Jalen Drummond, the director of public affairs at the company, told Newsweek, “This fundraiser is currently within our terms of service.”
So, I checked their actual terms of service. Damn. It really does seem like it is not a violation. Still it’s tacky. I guess that means it’s also fitting.
The preserved one can go on the shelf next to the Nazi and KKK memorabilia.
He’s an excellent student of the master, I’ll say that for him. According to your link, he claims that he was just reporting what “people were saying”. I will expect a full-scale trucker boycott in two weeks.
“Behold, The Terrible AI Cartoon That Explains The World As MAGA Sees It.”
A Wonkette posting, but it contains a link to and stills from the cartoon.
Part of me wants to laugh uproariously at the insane preposterousness. In particular, the clueless irony of MAGAts pointing to images of a burning Constitution and trashed Capitol is richer than any dessert.
But another part of me wants to curl up in a ball at the thought that many of my fellow Americans eagerly devour this shit sandwich like a fine steak, really believe the world is like this, and have both the ballot and deadly weapons.
I got a shiver on reading that in the video “all of the bad non-MAGA people spontaneously combusted as soon as Trump was re-elected.” I know that even these yahoos know it’s a fantasy, but it’s their fantasy that everything would be better if everyone who’s not a straight pure-white Christian* rural dweller was gone.
When you’ve got people who’ve created and nurtured such a massive outlandish strawman of millions of their fellow Americans, so they can feel free to deem them mortal enemies and still consider themselves good Christians, it puts me in mind of a line from “Hunt for Red October”: “This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.” Maybe not quite so cataclysmic, but some of these lunatics will not be content to fight such evil schemers as they believe every non-straight, non-Xtian, urbanite, etc. to be with mere ballots or in the political arena.
*They’ll generously include Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and the like while the battle for a Christian nation is on, but if they ever won they’d turn in a trice on anyone not sufficiently fundamentalist or evangelical as themselves.
Isn’t memorabilia something you hold on to for the sake of the memory? For the magatflatearthers, I think it’s more like regalia.
A link behind a paywall, sadly,
I was trying to avoid linking to the “artist” behind the video, but needs must. Linky.
Thanks. After watching that video screed, I understand why you wished to avoid it. FWI, I did post in reponse to his Xit (pronounced [shit] of course), the following:
That was 3 1/2 minutes of unadulterated falsehoods. Do better. Be better.
Do you really want to see it? Just the stills made me throw up in my mouth a little a lot
Well, I did watch it. The funniest bit of the visual aspect of it was the obviously CGI of a drag queen that looked like a cross between the clown from It and a Disney villainous step-mother.
The Alabama Supreme Court ruled Friday that frozen embryos are people and someone can be held liable for destroying them
Good luck finding IVF treatment in Alabama.
What’s next? Every sperm is special (cue Monty Python)? Masturbation is a felony?
Makes sense, given how irate it makes god.
Now now, we’ll have none of that Popery here! Sperm are only sacred once they’re in a woman (of all things!).
Yes outlawing masturbation would primarily affect the activities of men who, unlike women, actually matter. So such legislation probably wouldn’t get far.
So, if you have a rack of test tubes in the passenger seat, you can drive in the HOV lane?
