Rolling Thunder Biker Group Vows Mass Protest In DC If Arrogant Little B**** Pelosi Attempts ImpeachmentFrom the right wing Daily Wire:
Artie Muller, 74, who served as a U.S. Army sergeant in the Vietnam War and is listed on the groups website as a co-founder, spoke at the National Mall on Monday and posited that Pelosi should be ousted from Congress for the series of investigations she is involved with. He stated, I would like to see Nancy Pelosi and her hypocrites work on the POW issue instead of bulls***ting [and] aggravating the President of the United States, whos doing a fantastic job.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Muller said the White House has not contacted the group, and Trump wasnt entirely accurate. Technically yes and technically no. We have chapters in Virginia and Maryland that will do it, but we want them to stay the fk out of the Pentagon parking lot, Muller said.
Muller said during the 2018 event, Pentagon officers refused to let bikers into a section of the parking lot where food and water were waiting. He viewed it as a power trip. Its their part to say, Fk you, were in charge, he said. For the final ride this year, he said large numbers prevented problems. They couldnt fk with us. We had too many people, he said.
Listen to Mullers voice.

(1,706 posts)I was once riding my bicycle on a beautiful Virginia Parkway when just part of rolling thunder went past . I had to pull over and cover my ears it was painful and the ground shook. Fuck these loud m-fers. I hope the event is over. These bike should be outlawed for noise violations.

(4,516 posts)There is so much said about us that became truth because the idea was repeated so often people bought into it even though it never was true.
I think we thought of them as men who avoided the draft. So many of us came home and joined the anti war movement.
Also biker gangs do not represent us. Most bikers never wore the uniform yet they support wars they never had to take part in. Most are chicken hawks. Nancy would have those bikers shitting in their pants. They are all talk with loud pipes.

(16,926 posts)While most did "grow up" from their time in the "experience" - some are still struggling with a misguided life and choose to share their discontent with the rest of society.
Thank you for your service - and congrats on finding maturity and a sane outlook on life.

they stayed at the same resort we did. didn't actually ride their motorcycles that much, but they sure do love stickers and vests.

(2,992 posts)My father served in Vietnam. I thus understood his disapproval of Bill Clinton, even if I disagreed with it.
But he was very enthusiastic about Bush Jr, who also took steps to avoid Vietnam.
Veteran support of Trump is even more perplexing. Bush Jr at least served in the military.

(2,992 posts)but not all of it. Clinton is as white as Bush and Trump.
I think it's more a matter of tribalism. People are either "us" or "them." People of color and women who don't defer to men are obviously more likely to be seen as "them" by such people, but those categorized as "the far left" are also "them."

(107,956 posts)In fact I know a few bikers. Most are good people. Most are also not young people.
The bad ass shtick projected by some is not that convincing knowing what I know.

(22,363 posts)Looks like the American right wing is copying their buddies in Russia again:
For example:
KYIV, Ukraine An unruly, Vladimir Putin-loving biker gang is ratcheting up tensions between Russia and Poland.
Officials and ordinary Poles are up in arms about high-profile plans by the so-called Night Wolves an infamous Russian motorcycle club known for its pro-Kremlin stance to roll through the central European country next week on their way to Berlin.
The 3,700-mile ride from Russia to Germany is the hyper-patriotic gangs way of celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Unions victory over Nazi Germany, a point of pride for most Russians.

(10,495 posts)I represent a biker CLUB who had members arrested in Waco at Twin Peaks. They were there to attend a legislative update on police profiling bikers when they were ambushed by law enforcement. 9 dead and 20 plus wounded, 177 arrested and charges later dropped against all of them.
This club was formed solely to adopt foster kids, that is all they do is work with these kids. There are religious clubs, classic motorcycle clubs ... You cannot paint them all with the same brush!

(33,327 posts)Can I ask you a MC question? What's with the "property of..." vest that I've seen biker women wear? My feminist wife and daughter were asking me to explain it this weekend and I couldn't.
Dustlawyer
(10,495 posts)Some clubs, including the Bandidos, use the property of so and so. I can only guess it is to keep them from being messed with, hit on etc., from brothers or others.

(84 posts)I am a Vietnam veteran , I don't understand alot of my fellow vets run around in gangs and acting tough, if their so bad , then they ought to be able to stand on their own. I don't know how they went to that war and turned into a fucking hypocriteal republican, especially these kind of republican that are around today.....
