I was in DC recently and can say no. They were blaming it on roadblocks but there wasn't much happening

They've been traveling the beltway yesterday and will continue to do so today, snarling commuter traffic --they are wisely not going into DC.

And when blood is shed, they will be in the same position as Putin...guilty and with no option to turn back. It always takes the blood of martyrs to be let before the good folk rally to the cause of injustice.

If we had decent Oppostion Party up in DC, the High Ups should be laying down the law and telling the Capitol Police that they WILL be tried for Capitol Crimes if they harm protestors. No more Ashil Babbits with free passes.

They are not "snarling" any traffic. They are driving 50 mph.

This morning, what remains will leave at 9:30 am, so it looks like they don't want to get caught in rush hour.

This board, a very right wing pro Trump board, is showing near zero interest in the convoy. Why do you expect MSM to cover it?

Latest update: they just left the Speedway with close to 130 rigs, only 1 with a trailer. They were followed by RV's, pickups, you name it. The new plan is to only do one lap around the Beltway because they have "meetings" scheduled.

ETA: the lack of trailers is likely from the high winds in DC today.
