The People's Convoy

Replace them with whom? There’s a trucker shortage as it is. And how exactly does an owner-operator get fired? They’re like 10% of all truckers, do you realize what happens to supply chains if 10% of truckers stand down? Fucking chaos. Originally Posted by Jacuzzme

You guys are overestimating how many truckers are part of the tantrum. Goods will still be delivered even if this fringe minority choose not to work. Just watch reality unfold this week.

Who knows how long it will be by the time they get to DC. Not to mention the people who support them that show up.

6 miles of traffic?? Oh boy- like a normal drive M-F on the parkway.

Exactly - their goal isn't to fuck up the supply chain. They simply want to protests the government by peacefully exercising their first amendment rights. Anyone who has a problem with that is a fascist.

Although personally I think at this point they are better off staying out of DC during the State of the Union. I think Senile Biden wants to create a scene and narrative

Stay out the entire week and instead go on strike. Register conservative voters. Be smart and be safe.

Well, looks like 2 of the U.S. convoys have fizzled out. The PA guy who showed up all by himself and one Cali convoy that gave up as it hit Missouri after its numbers dwindled. They never got anywhere near their 1k-2k truck estimates. And some of the folks that donated to it are very, very unhappy about how it was run and how the money will be spent.

One guy had his rented truck disabled by Penske.

But the other Cali one is still en route and in Oklahoma so far and the the TX one is forming.

You going to join, B-square? You're a Canadian trucker now and all...

Been jonesing for my daily People's Convoy fix. Where's it at, berry?

They're meeting with Ted Cruz and riding around the beltway indefinitely to abolish all mandates, right?

Don't tell me you've lost interest.

Heard a rumor that Biden asked Putin to invade Ukraine so that gas prices would rise and the truckers would burn through their funds faster. Some say, many people actually, many are saying this is the old inflation, fake war misdirection one-two razzle dazzle.

Others say they won because they put the fear of God into Joe and he removed most of the fearsome mandates.

Still more say that the plan to slow down traffic on Day 4 of this "epic" battle against The Man was hampered by... wait for it... the rain.

A sad trucker is upset that he was getting the middle finger so often while in a convoy Cruising with Cruz on the Beltway.

It's the Beltway. You're in a pile of trucks taking up space on the Beltway. You're with Ted Cruz.

Expecting kudos instead of protected expressions of free speech?

Breaking news

People's Convoy supporters are protesting at Fox News headquarters and outside a domicile in the Greater Pittsburgh Metro area complaining about not getting any news coverage.

They convoy has now "escalated" to driving into DC directly instead of the Beltway because practically no one is paying attention anymore.

Sad. If you can't handle stress on the Beltway, trade in your truck for a vespa and head to California because you may as well be jacking it in San Diego

I think Crobsie did a good job humanizing the folks he talked to and spent time with as part of this article, despite disagreeing with much of their politics and showing just how disparate and diverging the motivations are behind this protest.

Still unclear to me why this has been abandoned for more discussion of Hunter's laptop. The irony is, I've been purposely poking to try to get more coverage and convo, with obvious barbs and opportunities to tee up counter responses. But it seems like all the attention drifted from this from the talking heads of this forum like they're members of the MSM trying to kill a story after they beat their hyperbolic war drums about this being the next big thing.

Where's the conviction? The support? The unity with fellow lovers of freedom?
