    Which they have futilely pissed away in impotent, confused poutrage. It's a feature, not a bug.

    The government only steps in because the handful of d*ckheads are annoying a heck of a lot of people who would vote on somebody else if the government doesn't do something about it.

    They are not federal employees. They work for a company or are independent haulers.

    I agree, sort of, The present COVID pandemic is just about over but we still need to vaccinate everybody and get used to doing every 6 mos or yearly, like for the flu, which is what this is, only a LOT more fatal and damaging long term. Other variants are certain to be along and they must not find us unprepared.

    I don't know what you're talking about. They even attacked the free press during BLM protests.

    Yes. Neo-cons can be as wrong as they want to be when it comes to neo-cons declaring they're conservative. That's free speech. Too many people don't understand free speech.

    You're saying US problems at the northern and southern borders is petty compared to the problems at the border of Ukraine?

    It appears you're a neo-con, er, the bulk of your opinions on DP appear to be too far to the right to be progressive.

    Nope. I believe in hard money, strong defense and individual liberty. Ideology not so much. I'm not sure you even know what "neo-con" means.

    They don't. They also don't know what Socialist and Communist mean as well.

    I know what embodies neocon. G.W. Bush (the Bush family) embodies being neocon. The Cheneys embody being neocon. George Will embodies being neocon. The founder of the neocon movement, William F. Buckley, embodies being neocon. Bill Kristol embodies being neocon.

    Like orange is the new black, neocon is the new conservative. Orange isn't black and neither is a neocon conservative. In fact, neocon is the opposite of conservative.

    As I suspected, you are completely wrong except for Kristol.

    You brought up federal mandates. Right now the only one I see is for flyers that's expiring next week.

    Again, they are protesting over a moot issue.

    As long as the federal executive emergency declared over covid remains in effect and Biden renewed it when it was supposed to expire on March 1, it’s not moot.

    Fortunately you don’t get to dictate to others when it is ok or what’s ok to protest

    They started this before 3/1, let alone when they planned it.
