NJ Parkway was blocked also. Is Chris Christie advising them on how to piss off voters? yellowcanine Nov 2020 #6
This is a toll bridge so they should have ID on those cars, at least if they used EZ pass. yellowcanine Nov 2020 #28

Nothing more. Nothing less. It is a crappy form of campaigning. Flags don't win elections and they're not going to make a difference in NY.

I disagreed with McCain on a lot. But he was a warrior. Trump portrays the call of duty cosplayers that have beer bellies

I wasn't luck enough get stuck in this traffic jam, but just seeing this video persuaded me I was a fool to vote for Biden. What was I thinking? If these very fine people are this enthusiastic about Trump, I have to defer to their superior intellect!

Three hundred big, armed linebacker types show up, systematically ask each Trumpanzee if he will voluntarily stop obstructing the way, and with each negative answer, toss the offender over the side of the bridge.
