Schrödinger’s Senator gives America the bird.
Schrödinger’s Senator, the physics paradox known in this dimension as Rand Paul, a conman from the multiverse where anything is possible including being elected in the 2016 Goat Rodeo and being elected to the Senate or both or neither can happen at the same time or never has apparently materialized in Ottawa Canada?
The demonstrators have displayed Confederate flags, Nazi swastikas, and desecrated war memorials, so you know that they are ¡GASP! our MAGA/anti-vaxxer Republicans.
Meanwhile, Canada politely has something to say to Rando and others:
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Canada’s public safety minister said Monday that U.S. officials should stay out of his country’s domestic affairs, joining other Canadian leaders in pushing back against prominent Republicans who offered support for the protests of COVID-19 restrictions that have besieged downtown Ottawa for more than a week.
And now, a round-up of how well loved this caravan is:
- GoFundMe is refunding millions of dollars donated to Canadian protestors
Its policies prohibit it from supporting vaccine misinformation or political events where there’s a risk of violence. (Buzzfeed) - Ottowa’s police chief says it will take 1,800 more police officers to end the protest, which has paralyzed the city for 11 days. (NYT)
- The convoy is galvanizing the far-right worldwide. (Politico)
- A group in the US is planning to carry out a very similar protest in Washington DC next month. (The Guardian)
Send fake Libertarian Rando a an air-horn blast thank-you note when your city turns into deliberate gridlock because just like the rest of the GOP, he wants to kill us all with the Trump-Virus.
Mock Paper Scissors 
If I remember correctly Rand and his wife invested $15,000 in a pharmacal company that is making Covid remedies / treatments. So keeping the virus spreading and getting people to reject vaccines increases his wealth. Great conflict of interest from someone whose job is to do what is best for the country, not his wallet.

This seems to be the misleading right wing media’s favorite trick, using mislabeled pictures and videos to try to prove false their points. If they would report the truth they wouldn’t need to do this.

At this point they cannot report the truth. Their conditioned viewers don’t want it and won’t stand for it.

It’s screwing up imports here in Buffalo because these guys are supposed to be crossing the border with things we need here but they won’t do it because they refuse to get their stupid vaccinations. Our local congressmen worked so very hard to get the border open so that people could go back & forth to see their loved ones & so that imports/exports could flow freely & now these assholes are fucking things up because they’re …. assholes. Ya gotta wonder who’s behind all this & who’s paying these guys to sit in downtown Ottawa, because truckers don’t get paid if their trucks aren’t moving.

Hello Polly. You have a great point. I am hearing from people in Canada that there is a lot of dark money from the US and online Russian propaganda involved in this. These truckers are displaying the confederate battle flag which makes no sense.

I have heard that this started with U.S. truckers wanting to cross into Canada without complying with the vaxx requirement. So – astroturf spreading like kudzu?

So the GOP MAGATs are protesting AGIANST strict border control. It’s almost as though they think borders are only for brown people.

This is Koch vengeance for the call for Canada to prepare for the end of American democracy. It stinks
Trudeau needs to get the RCMP on this NOW. Track the money, that’s the key.

I was just reading this article on the subject. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/08/canada-ottawa-trucker-protest-extremist-qanon-neo-nazi Seems this was the brainchild of a conspiracy Qanon person and they are now seriously well funded, a lot of it from the US. The smart thing the police did was take their fuel and try to stop more fuel from being delivered. The trucks run out of fuel, and this will be over quickly.
