Trucker grifters planning return to DC protest staging area

The People’s Convoy announced that the trucker protest group will return on Tuesday to Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland, which was used as a staging area for demonstrations earlier this year in Washington, D.C.

During a Sunday rally in Ohio, which was livestreamed on the YouTube page “1st Responders Media,” the group announced that it would return to Hagerstown to protest. The People’s Convoy confirmed on its Facebook page and website that trucks would arrive at the speedway on Tuesday evening.

“May 17th. WE ARRIVE AT HAGERSTOWN SPEEDWAY!!!” the Facebook post reads. “We greatly appreciate them having The People’s Convoy back!!”

According to WUSA9, the director of the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency said authorities are “aware of reports that this demonstration activity may return to our city.”

I know for damn well, if it weren't for some rich bastard somewhere, these people would not have a pot to piss in.

3. Lockdowns are over. Is it a preemptive protest for the coming Covid wave? 🤪

I know, it's just red meat for the RW base of loons, but at some point you'd think they'd realize it's pure theater.

babies, and still not working. They're slowly getting the art of ripping off people for donations for their lost cause. I wonder what excuses / what they're claiming to raise money for now?

Uh, what are they protesting again? The COVID protocols that now reside in the "totally optional" quadrant? They're protesting people washing their hands after using the toilet?

Somehow, I think the financing for these WATBs is well known in certain media circles, but the information is being withheld from the public for some arcane reason. Just my hunch, that's all.
