QAnon Vladimir Putin WTF?!

Supporter Of Trucker Convoy Praises Putin: He’s ‘Taken Out’ All Of The ‘Child Trafficking Areas’ In Ukraine

A supporter of the so-called “People’s Convoy” trucker protest told a reporter Thursday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been unfairly criticized for his invasion of Ukraine and is actually a “good guy” because he’s “taken out” all of the “child trafficking areas” in the country.

Speaking with Andrew Callaghan of Channel 5, the man remarked:

“The Deep State has always made Putin to look like the bad guy. But he’s a good guy. He’s taken out all the biolabs, child trafficking areas, adrenochrome harvesting areas.”

The extreme right-wing QAnon conspiracy theory movement preaches that there’s a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophile sex traffickers who extract “adrenochrome” from the blood of children in an effort to render themselves immortal:

Adrenochrome, which has no rejuvenating effects, and very questionable psychedelic properties, would have long faded into obscurity had it not been rejuvenated by the QAnon twaddle. And it is not just innocent balderdash that is being spread, as exemplified by the man who swallowed the adrenochrome theory hook, line, and sinker and attempted to liberate children he believed were being kept captive in a Washington pizza parlor by Hillary Clinton. He brandished a rifle and a pistol as he “investigated the crime,” threatening customers and employees. He was subsequently arrested and sentenced to four and a half years in jail. 

The man at the trucker protest rally also suggested that when former President Donald Trump was given a soccer ball by Putin during a 2018 meeting in Helsinki, it contained all sorts of valuable information:

“If people would have watched when Trump came into office at the beginning, when you saw them hand that soccer ball off, that soccer ball had so much information in it to take down everybody that Putin’s had all the intel on for years, it had a lot of data in it. And that’s what’s going on.”

It’s tempting to dismiss people such as this man as outliers, but keep in mind that tens of millions of them voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 and are hoping they’ll get a chance to cast a ballot for him in 2024.

The end of American democracy will be brought about by willful ignorance.

Member Of US Truck Convoy Whines Motorists Are Giving Him The Finger: ‘Birds Flying Everywhere!’

The so-called “Freedom Convoy” of truckers which began in Canada and has since shifted to the United States (and been renamed the “People’s Convoy,”) has been a miserable failure here in states, as only a few trucks continue to drive in circles (wasting valuable diesel fuel) around the Washington, D.C. beltway.

What’s even more absurd is that the convoy is still protesting since all of the COVID mandates (masks, vaccines) have been dropped, so it isn’t clear what exactly the point of driving around the nation’s capital could possibly be.

However, the few truckers who are still participating are now whining that their fellow motorists aren’t happy to see them and are often flipping them off with a middle finger.

Zachary Petrizzo of The Daily Beast posted a video on Twitter in which one of the truck drivers/protesters complains:

“You go around the Beltway, birds are flying, birds are flying everywhere! That’s the kind of people that live up there, you know? It’s a different world, D.C. is a different world.”

That same driver added:

“We’re trying to straighten [D.C.] out, we’re trying to clean it up, that’s what this is all about, trying to get it cleaned up.”

How are you going to straighten out anything when you’re driving in circles for hours on end? As for getting it “cleaned up,” do the exhaust fumes from those big rigs help clean things up? Hardly.

Wouldn’t it be more productive of the truckers to park their rigs and go visit their members of Congress to discuss whatever grievances they have? Driving around and pissing off motorists is not exactly how you endear yourself to the average commuter.

Twitter users also had some thoughts on what the trucker had to say.

US ‘Freedom Convoy’ Fails Miserably – Disbands When Only 5 Trucks Show Up For Protest

After seeing what transpired in Canada recently, the organizers of what was billed as the “US Freedom Convoy” had very high hopes.

The plan was for American truck drivers to roll into Washington, D.C. just in time for President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday and shut down the nation’s capital as a way of protesting COVID restrictions and other issues that many on the political right constantly whine and moan about.

But The Independent reports that when only five big rigs showed up at a meeting point in Las Vegas, the truckers dispersed and went their separate ways because their grandiose plans fizzled out before they even got to the District of Columbia:

A convoy of truckers who were heading from California to Washington DC for Joe Biden’s State of the Union (SOTU) address have been told to find another protest fleet after theirs fell apart before its first stop.

Organisers of the “US Freedom Convoy” – which had been expecting up to 2,000 truckers prior to its departure from Los Angeles on Friday – disbanded the caravan and cancelled all associated rallies on Saturday after only five rigs arrived in Las Vegas.

“To prevent another rally without our truckers – our team will not be moving thru Salt Lake City and Denver,” organisers wrote in an update following the disappointing turnout in Sin City.

Damn! They expected 2,000 and got a measly five? That’s one hell of a failure.

It didn’t take long before recriminations began online, with many noting they wound up looking like fools for being a part of such a massive letdown:

“I spent days trying to coordinate a rally in support of our truckers,” wrote one Facebook user. “I have three tiny kids and work a full-time job and stretched myself thin then made myself look so stupid. I’m pretty hurt by all this.”

Wow! You mean some right-wing asshats took advantage of people so they could grift and get attention for their bogus “cause?” Sounds a lot like a failed, one-term former president who goes by the name Donald Trump.
