Time to start inspecting trucks. A lot of fertilizer can be packed in a big rig.

If Putin has threatened to put us in our place, from past behavior, he has already made the orders.
Without going nuclear, a trucker protest for no real goal or reason other than right wing nonsense, sounds like a great way to sneak in some big trouble. This way Putin could deny involvement while making his terse little smile. Like poisoning someone with polonium and denying any responsibility.

I am hoping that the organizers of these things are getting some serious scrutiny and the investigators are using judges not put in place by Trump to ask for warrants.

is keeping an eye on the leaders of this bizarre protest. Let's hope that one of the truckers slips up if they are planning a terrorist attack.
