5 trucks with Freedom Convoy USA as they rolled into Las Vegas. Organizers recommended truckers who'd planned to meeet them join one of two other convoys and that they'd disperse the $6K+ raised in Maryland.

THAT went over real well with these disappointed RW grievance, conspiracist types, some of whom promptly turned on their own organizers.

"The action infuriated many supporters, who immediately began posting angry comments.

“They hope a simple apology post will get people off their backs but you and I can’t let this one go,” wrote one. “This is no small candy bar stolen from the store this is a very elaborate panzi scheme.” Said another: “We The People demand answers. Answer the questions.”

The People's Convoy's doing much better, but that also means a lot more people to grouse. In a group that size there have to be some sure the Kuwait invasion is a Jewish World Conspiracy plot to stop them.

Apparently, the lack of attention on these so called 'Conveys' is failing miserably to generate any newsworthy reporting in American media.

This is upsetting a lot of big babies who aren't liking it the scope of reporting (those wanting to hijack the convoys (and resulting news cycles) for their own purposes).

This is an especially tasty and ironic treat for the rest of us to enjoy (their anger) and goes to show that when it comes to other more newsworthy events, and when it comes to history, that no matter what they say, no matter what they do, they can't even scratch the record of history. How many times has this happened and yet, they still try and fail miserably to divert the scope of history?

And my incessant whining about how put upon I am as I take time away from my job (with no repercussions) to moan about how horrible those damned commie liberals are as my freedom to be an entitled white person is being removed, even though I can’t really articulate one single freedom I had 2 years ago that I don’t have now.

Dammit.
