You may have heard that the D.C. truckers convoy, having made it all the way out to the Pacific Northwest only to turn around and head back East, made it back to Washington this week. But if you live in the D.C. area, you’d be excused if this was news to you, since the whole operation seems to have just fizzled out.

The truckers were planning to sneak into downtown Washington the evening of the 19th, according to Zachary Petrizzo of the Daily Beast, but apparently couldn’t get their act together. Instead, they wound up simply brawling with each other around their campsites at the raceway in Hagerstown, Maryland, which has served as their base of operations.

Seems like they can't get their shit together in a neat pile. Fighting, arguing, and general discord at their planning command and control center. Clip at site.

1. Yup, I live in DC and these motherTruckers are not making any impact here

Nobody knows what they want.

5. The bottom line of course for them...

"We ALL know who the real president is"

[COL Mustard]

7. Yup. It's Joe Biden...

And I'm damn glad he is! And the difference between me and them is that I can criticize him (or the administration) when I think they screwed something up. You'll NEVER hear a T***p-lover criticize him. It's all just a cult of personality at this point. I'm so glad though that JRB is President.

8. WTOP really did a good job with keeping us informed during the last one.

And Pentagon management pushed out notices to us ahead of time so we could plan accordingly if we needed to telework.

2. We are definitely getting into the phase: EAT YOUR OWN.

Bon Appetit!

[C Moon]

3. Probably a lot of "Who made you leader?" going on.

10. Watch them fracture....

The "Peoples" Convoy begets the Convoy of the "People". Then The REAL "People's" Convoy splits off. And on and on. Humans. They're so predictable.

[SergeStorms]

17. The Judean People's Convoy?

SPLITTERS!

[Tennessee Hillbilly]

11. I wonder if they've noticed the price of diesel

These back and forth cross-country trips may be eating into their savings

[SergeStorms]

19. There's plenty of people.....

even stupider than the "Peoples' Convoy" who'll contribute money wherever these dimwits want to go.

These are the cream of Trump supporters, mind you.

[IronLionZion]

22. They claim to have millions in donations

[wryter2000]

12. Who would have guessed?

They're a bunch of disagreeable assholes.

[Initech]

13. The sooner these dipshits go away the better!

[Grokenstein]

14. The spin in their press release is hilarious. (Reddit)

15. In other words - They're broke financially and in spirit - but mostly money

[Lonestarblue]

16. These misfits need to grow up and home and get a job. There are plenty of openings.

[PortTack]

18. This is the reason there will be no civil war...at least the.shooting kind they want

Can’t follow orders
no chain of command
Every person for themselves
No real cause

And these are just a snippet

20. The article says their funding source has cut them off. Nt

[Vinca]

21. They must all be rich to be burning that much diesel fuel for nothing.

[Johnyawl]

23. They rolled through the PacNW...

...and didn't even make the news.

(I don't watch Fox or Sinclair so they might have gotten a mention there that I missed.)

[SWBTATTReg]

24. Fighting, arguing, and general discord at their planning command and control center.

Funny, isn't this what republicans are doing too? Fighting, arguing, etc.?

Serves them right. Not everybody can be a cook in the kitchen, and what we have here is thousands of little donald tRumps running around yelling nonsense as usual and claiming that they alone, can do it all, etc.

Idiots.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

25. Who the hell is paying their bills?

Gas and even more so diesel is at an all-time high yet they can afford to galivant all over the country.

26. *LOCKING*

Host consensus is this OP doesn't meet the criteria in the SOP for this forum:

Important news of national interest only.

This would be fine in General Discussion.
