Leader of DC convoy runs away

The DC trucker convoy is crumbling as their leader announced that he was leaving ...

The group has no leadership, no goal, and no plan for an actual protest ...

They have accomplished nothing but peeing themselves, assaulting bikers, and driving in circles ...

The convoy leader denied running away as he headed for home, as the DC truckers represent how difficult it is for Republicans to motivate their voters when they have nothing but anger and bitterness over previous defeats to fuel them ...

1. Sheesh, I thought they left quite a while ago.

5. Their movement has gone through various phases:

(1) Let's drive to DC and fuck up traffic there
(2) Wait. We'll hang out in Hagerstown first to figure out what we're doing and why
(3) We'll driving in circles around DC
(4) Damn. DC traffic sucks and everybody is giving up the finger and cutting us off
(5) Today we're peeing in our pants to send a message
(6) We'll beat up a motorcyclist
(7) We're pulling guns on each other
(8) Hagerstown doesn't want us to hang out here anymore
(9) Why can't anybody tell me why I drove to DC?

8. Don't forget the Covid outbreak in their ranks

And the humiliation of a dude on a bicycle making them look stupid, more stupid than they already looked.

2. He got tired of floggin' his log, that and the $$ ran dry. IMO.

9. "$$ ran dry"

I might be connecting the dots incorrectly, but if they had money backing from foreign sources like the Canadian truckers did, and that foreign money came from Russian oligarchs via Republicans, and the US, most of Europe, and nations outside of Europe have placed sanctions on Russia.....

Could that be why the $$ are running out?

14. Probably a connection there...

I can't imagine there wouldn't be.

[Baked Potato]

17. I think that could be. Nt

3. In other words his source of income is frozen right now.

Can't cash those GQP issued checks backed by the Central Bank of Russia right now.

4. They didn't need money from Russia.

Plenty of asshole right wingers willing to donate if it means “sticking it to the libs”.

6. Wasn't there a squabble over where the money went?

Wasn't there a squabble over where the money went?

13. When it comes to conservative projects, there's ALWAYS a question about where the money went.

18. This!

Merely amateur cheats looking to break into the bigtime. Go republi-CON!

[progressoid]

7. Maybe JFK jr will appear and lead them.

[Thomas Hurt]

10. IOWs...the money is drying up.

[ToxMarz]

11. I hope the have enough money/gas to get out of DC

for the sake of the poor DC'ers, but only just enough. After that, they can pawn their trucks for bus fare home.

12. Dems should run ads with Ukraine rescue vs trucks driving in traffic

As in, here's what dems do, here's what gqp does.

15. Their donors stopped giving them diesel money

since prices are high, COVID restrictions are over, instead of owning the libs they are mostly peeing their pants.

Daily Beast is reporting they all have given up and heading home. You know, since they accomplished so much with their clear unambiguous goals.

16. They have defueled themselves, and fooled themselves at the same time.

Out of fuel, but not out of fools.

[AverageOldGuy]

19. The only winners . . .

. . . in this farce were the truck stops between California and DC and the working girls in the truck stop parking lots.

[3Hotdogs]

20. Yeah? well fuck yiz all, making fun of them riding around in a big circle. They's practicing

for NASCAR.

And I bet yiz won't laugh so much when ya see their names on the NASCAR TV scoreboard.

21. This TFG supporter is a loser

[Deep State Witch]

22. Bye, Felicia!

Thanks for spending a whole lot of money in Maryland!

[Hassler]

23. The absurdity of these clowns is that truckers have real issues they

Could have drawn attention to, like being overworked and underpaid. Instead they took some dark money for gas and protested things that weren't real. The fools.
