Rolling Thunder Biker Group Vows Mass Protest In DC If "Arrogant Little B****" Pelosi Attempts

Rolling Thunder Biker Group Vows Mass Protest In DC If “Arrogant Little B****” Pelosi Attempts Impeachment


From the right wing Daily Wire:

The executive director of Rolling Thunder, the annual military event that features hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists traveling to Washington to call for full accountability for prisoners of war and missing in action service members, said that the entire membership would arrive in the nation’s capital if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whom he called an “arrogant little b****,” decides to try to impeach President Trump.

Artie Muller, 74, who served as a U.S. Army sergeant in the Vietnam War and is listed on the group’s 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, who’s doing a fantastic job.”


The Washington Examiner reports:

The Rolling Thunder organization campaigns for missing and imprisoned soldiers and decided in November, after a bitter disagreement with Pentagon parking lot officials, to end the national trek to Washington. Trump tweeted last Sunday, however, that the bikers “WILL be coming back” and thanked “our great men & women of the Pentagon for working it out!”

Muller said the White House has not contacted the group, and Trump wasn’t 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 f–k 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. “It’s their part to say, ‘F–k you, we’re in charge,’” he said. For the final ride this year, he said large numbers prevented problems. “They couldn’t f–k with us. We had too many people,” he said.


Listen to Muller’s voice.

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.

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.

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.

the "Vietnam Vets Legacy Riders MC", comprised of a few remaining Vietnam Vets who showed up in vans and trucks, and their kids, who looked to be 30ish, on all-black HDs.

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

our group stayed up later.

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.

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."

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 gang’s way of celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany, a point of pride for most Russians.

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!

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.
