Convoy news for {date to be determined}, for DC

Getting closer to the D.C. area, leaders of The People's Convoy say that this time around, truckers will seek to enter D.C. proper with the hopes of occupying the city.

"We are not doing circles around D.C. again," the trucker Mug Pig says. "Hopefully, when we go to D.C., we are in D.C." Fellow convoy leader "Santa" agrees, saying the group will enter the city only once.



Worth noting here: The convoy might be smaller this time around, but they are incredibly violent. The group remains a party to a police investigation over the firing of a gun near Portland and has ties to the extremist group the Proud Boys.

Nobody cares about your stupid convoy. All you're doing is wasting fuel and money.

Shit stains.

Seriously. You could put a lot of well equipped people in the back of one of those things. A lot.

And a few DOT check points could shut that noise down if employed in a timely manner.
