Convoytus Interruptus

I've been keeping an eye on coverage of the pro-Trump 'Freedom Convoy' which was hastily assembled in the wake of the 'trucker' occupation of Ottawa and several Canada/US border crossings.  An earlier convoy-adjacent rally in DC was a farce drawing about a score of people.  The current incarnation of the 'People's Convoy' is larger, but seems to be stalled in Hagerstown, Maryland- a directionless mob of morons. Once again, the intrepid Zachary Petrizzo of Daily Beast is on the job:

I've made it to Hagerstown where at least 2k people have gathered in town leading up to a racetrack. Streets are packed with people protesting mandates that don't exist. pic.twitter.com/wdYha78syd

All is not well in the People's Paradise of Truckerstan, though:

Out in Hagerstown, there is also apparent infighting and rumors of bad blood between The People’s Convoy and other trucker-led protests. Last night at the 8pm rally, an unidentified organizer mentioned the rumors and called them “not true.”

To heighten both the tension in Hagerstown and the comedic value of this shitshow, right-wing wannabe dirty trickster Jacob Wohl was forced out of the trucker rally for trying to incite them to some sort of action:

Meanwhile, the convoy seems to be stalled for the moment, interrupted if you will, as some sort of vague plan for future action needs to be formulated:

The official guidance from People's Convoy is that they will have a rally today at 5pm, much like what they did in Indiana a few days ago. That seems to be the agreed-upon consensus. As far as tomorrow – still unclear. It's all just "wait for further instruction" type language.

As always, though, heroes arise in dark times, and in Hagerstown, one particular man has ascended to internet demigod status:

Nothing like a nice bowl of ham-and-beans before a long day spent on the road with little access to public lavatory accomodations... 

I'm sure that these morons will be ecstatic about the prospects of camping out in a racetrack parking lot all night, before sitting in Beltway traffic on a day when most government officials are off from work. I just hope that none of them get frustrated enough to do anything really stupid. 

 Meanwhile, government should simply use the tools of mundane bureaucracy to thwart these idiots, making them pull into weigh stations and subjecting them to truck log perusals. These people want to disrupt DC- how about disrupting the disruptors?
