The MAGATs are trying to start a panic.

I have a small shop and in the last 2 hours, 3 of my MAGAiest customers have come in to stock up on supplies "Because of the teamster's port strike". One had just been to Costco and he said the shelves were bare of meat and paper products. He was delighted by this. I just said, "They have other ports you know." Fuck that Trumper Teamster boss and his bullshit October surprise.

Strike was announced months in advance, everyone is stocked up. There will be little economic damage unless it goes on for more than three months.

The International Longshoremen's Association is not part of the Teamsters.

Yes. I just read on a family text chain that in South Carolina people are hoarding toilet paper and paper towels again. Not because of Hurricane Helene, but because of the strike.

Just goes to show you how much Fox and company are destroying the country with its endless fear mongering.

R2 - correct - Harold Daggett is apparently the head - he started in 1967 (!) and made over $750k as the head. Apparently he drives a Bentley and also has a yacht.

He was previously associated with the mob - but that's also when the mob had significant ties with the ports in the 70s and 80s.

Not sure what his motives are - or the timing. He backed Biden in the last election but has also met with Trump. So who knows.

But he sure looks like a 78 year old boomer grasping on to his power and title. Probably corrupt to the core - but for whom?

Predictable. My deranged pothead MAGA brother sent his usual apocalypto email. We must stock up now on TP and bottled water! Food will vanish by Halloween !Between the Chinese communist paid dock strikers and the nuke hurling genocidal Jews...THE END IS NIGH! Of course it's "nigh" every week. Fire up the bong. Wash,rinse,repeat,delete.

“They said on Fox that you might have to smear shit on your face. Or dip your hand in gasoline and light it on fire. But standing on a Bible. We need the Bible in schools, don’t you agree? Sure you do…🔥 “

There are journalists I trust on social media saying that this strike has nothing to do with Fat Donald.

Furthermore, major strike impacts won't be happening until after the election.

Former whore, now MAGA Christian evangelical lunatic, Stevo Bobbio (Sonder Steve on Instagram) believes in this as he does many other conspiracy theories. He seems to be of very low intelligence.

They'll take any reason to call Kamala/Dems communists, socialists, part of the new world order, Soros puppets, and all sorts of other bullshit that acts as a dog whistle for the MAGA faithful.

Who needs any support or standard of living, when we can just bully people who talk about things we don’t understand?

every day i wake up hoping that america is - figuratively - on fire

Honey, Charmin and Bounty are made right here in the USA.

In Mehoopany, PA, to be exact. So there will be asswipe and paper towels. And diapers.

Good let the MAGAts max out their credit cards with their prepper fetishes. That's less money to Dump/GQP.

And it does provide economic stimulus to these white trash areas.
