monster trucks

Saw three (count 'em, three) black monster trucks with oversize Trump: MAGA and American flags in the truck beds. They still remind me of ISIS, but I haven't really seen too many here in Phoenix lately until today. Are the deplo's feeling the pressure, or are these trucks meant to be threatening?

They intend to look menacing. I worry less about that bunch, though, MineralMan Mar 2018 #3

Expect to see more such demonstrations in the coming weeks. Keep your distance from such people. They are truly dangerous.

I don't think the reappearance of these trucks is a coincidence. They always look pretty menacing.

than I do the ones who aren't making a public show of their idiocy. The ones in the big black trucks with the flags are mostly just blowhards, but use caution. Most of them are armed blowhards. Let them blow off steam in their outrageous way. They're not the dangerous folks, usually.

Mostly, that 6-pack just makes them blow harder.

There are folks you never see, though. They're the ones to worry about. Truly. You never know who they are until they do something outrageous. Then, you get the, "Geez...he has always been a quiet neighbor..." nonsense.
