'Birds flying everywhere!' Convoy trucker bitterly complains about Beltway drivers giving him the middle finger
Brad Reed
March 10, 2022
A member of the "People's Convoy" that's been circling the Beltway around Washington D.C. is not happy about the reception he's received from local drivers.
In a video posted by The Daily Beast's Zachary Petrizzo, a convoy driver complains that other drivers along the Beltway are giving him obscene gestures as they pass by.
The driver went on the say that "we're trying to straighten [D.C.] out, we're trying to clean it up, that's what this is all about, trying to get it cleaned up."
The convoy was inspired by a trucker protest that occurred last month in Canada against the government's vaccine mandates. However, it's not clear what this particular protest is about since the Supreme Court struck down President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate, and indoor mask requirements throughout the United States have been completely lifted in recent weeks.

(53,776 posts)OK, buddy, keep repeating that as you aimlessly drive around.
How do these idiots think they're accomplishing anything by doing that?
They need to go home and get to work as trucking companies need drivers desperately to relieve that backlog of containers in the ports. They also need to stop copying the Canadian truckers who didn't accomplish anything either.

(82,849 posts)When these mental deficients go into more liberal enclaves, snorting and spewing their bullshit, they get met with extended middle fingers.
What happens to more liberal folks who venture into their territory with a bumper sticker of mild support for a liberal cause or candidate? Getting flipped off is probably the least of our worries.
