D.C. trucker convoy fail

Julio-César Chávez @JulioCesrChavez 1h
Bob Bolus is on the highway headed down to DC.

We have driven up and down the line, His 18 wheeler is the only one in the convoy followed by four or five pick up trucks and SUVs (that we can tell). All other 18ws passing him

His claim of having 25 trucks driving down is false


Julio-César Chávez @JulioCesrChavez 1h
I fell back right now to count everyone in the convoy.

as of 11 AM, assuming everyone driving close together on the right hand lane is part of this convoy, there are:

1 18 wheeler
2 pick up trucks
7 sedans/SUVs






Julio-César Chávez @JulioCesrChavez 1h
I just watched the one of Bob Bolus’ own work trucks pass him on the highway and continue driving

Because they are Staged events that should go unnoticed.

They may intentionally hold back on toilet paper deliveries and instigate the next shortage.

Joe's Union truck drivers should put these roque independents out of work. Society did nothing to these freaks and they have no right to disrupt anything.

8. 😂 Apparantly the CA convoy has a paranoia problen! ANTIFA, FBI, CIA

The convoy believes they're "being spied on"..

Caroline Orr os monitoring them & her Twitter thread is hillarious.
They ain't gonna make it, all I can say.

"Some of the US convoy channels I’ve been monitoring have taken a turn towards paranoia, and there’s a lot of discussion tonight about the convoy being a trap and/or getting infiltrated by the CIA or antifa. I saw multiple comments saying “it’s glowing.”

"What are the odds of US law enforcement/FBI seeding these groups with theories that their events are secret FBI events so they don't go to them? Because that's what I'd do if I worked in the FBI and was in charge of monitoring a bunch of paranoiacs"

misbegotten socialist when he was in office. For the life of me, I can't figure this guy out. He's so nice to us, his family is lovely but he must be a big pain in the butt for everyone other than us. But he and his family pitch in and roll our garbage/trash barrels down for pickup every week.
