Doesn’t look like the ‘People’s Convoy’ is leaving MD any time soon. Probably waiting for JFK Jr to show up.

Guy at People’s Convoy in Trump/Kennedy shirt says Putin is “a good guy,” and when he handed Trump the soccer ball at presser, it “had so much info in it to take down everybody that Putin’s been getting all the intel on for years. It had a lot of data.” From Andrew Callaghan.

The People's Convoy is growing increasingly upset with Beltway drivers, so much so that organizer Brian Brase told truckers tonight they could escalate their complaints about commuters being "bad actor" by "flood[ing] 911." "DC traffic does not like us," he said.

The lead organizer of the People’s Convoy on Thursday evening suggested to frustrated truckers that they “flood 911” with calls amid increasing tensions with Beltway commuters. “The point is, as I understand, that it can get difficult; you’re talking about a lot of people. You’re talking about a big convoy,” organizer Brian Brase said. “And you’re talking about areas that simply do not like us.” He continued: “Remember if you got a bad actor, you got somebody acting dumb... #77 with the mile marker and report the vehicle!” The crowd then shouted back at the convoy leader, claiming Maryland State Police weren’t answering their calls. “Didn’t answer,” a trucker yelled. “If they don’t take care of it, then we’ll just flood 911,” Brase responded to a cheer from the crowd. “So they can answer the phone tomorrow or enjoy 911 calls. How about that!” Reached for comment by The Daily Beast, a Maryland State Police communications official said: “They certainly do not go unanswered. That is for sure.” The official added that the 911 number “should be reserved for emergency use only.” (The official confirmed that a driver flipping a trucker off is not an emergency.)

On Thursday, a trucker said of their daily Beltway laps that metro commuters continue to flip them off. “We go around the Beltway—birds are flying,” the driver said. “Birds are flying everywhere.”

I'm sure they are getting the same treatment that I'd get for blocking traffic and being assholes.

open up those weigh stations.

Must have come as a bit of a distinct shock, eh?

That's mean, and mean people suck.

Oh wait, the truckers suck even worse. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute here. You came here to annoy the people who normally drive on the Beltway every day, amirite?

You came here for the specific purpose of pissing those people off. Right?

And now your feelings are terribly hurt because those drivers actually DID get pissed off, meaning you were sort of kind of almost a little bit successful, but you don't like that either so you have to call #77 or 911 or ANYTHING AT ALL?

Why don't you cheer and laugh, and pretend you won? If people are flipping the bird, your goals are met and you can go home now, instead of crying like little babies.

Jeez, these people make me ashamed to be an American driver.
