This Made Me Burst Out Laughing
There was a big boat parade today on Lake Travis to support Trump. What you would expect to happen when a bunch of drunk Trump supporters board boats has happened. The Travis County sheriff is reporting “many boats in distress” and “several boats have sunk.”
Yes, I spit my Kentucky Derby mint julep all over my keyboard laughing at this one…LOL.
I think the local authority bailing them out verges on socialism. They need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and figure it out.
Elect a clown, expect a circus.
1Y’all Qaeda parading on the water for Donnie find themselves
under water.
Laughing too hard to type, back to you, El Jefe. Did one of the boats sink due to the weight of the guy holding all the beers for the other stable jeniuses?
2On this weekend after the breaking story in The Atlantic, we can see what some real suckers & losers look like!
3Heretic here, on this one.
A telephoto lens compresses distance. For example, a boat down in the wave trough and the wave crest in front of it looks like they are on top of each other, ie, looks like the boat is taking on water. Plus, boats usually don’t stay level when taking on water. If these photos are trick photography, they distract from all of the legit trump dickery.
Don’t kill the messenger.
4MAGA row your boat ashore. Alleluia.
5No maritime safety expert, but even I can see why the boat i the second photo got into trouble.
Not enough flags.
6As I said in an earlier post, this proves some shit does float, but it still smells like Trumpf.
7Also, a couple of weeks ago, on the large river that flows through Portland towards the Columbia River, another Trumpf flotilla caused several large wakes and overturned some non-trumper boaters. They had to be rescued. Payback in Austin is all good.
I’m ashamed to admit it, sort of, but laughter was my first response, too. People who don’t know the rules should stay off the water. That said, I hope everybody survived, although I’d imagine there’s a lot of money lying at the bottom of Lake Travis this evening.
8Thank you – I felt a little guilty for laughing. I tried not to – but …
9We’re they boating, surfing or having a baptism?
10Donnie and the Y’all Qaeda Navy team up to take the “G” out of MAGAt:
Make America Sick Again
Make America Sink Again
Oh soap. That’s MASA, rhymes with massah, and sorry po’ white folks, that’s what the .01% intend to have you saying. Soon. Just ask the Lake Travis boat race to the bottom participants. Dumb dopes seriously thought their water logged rafts and auction caulked derelicts would share space with the big boy boats. Grab a clue, morons. Donnie could care less about you than the .01% will once they’ve picked your carcass clean. Real “friends” don’t swamp their friend’s boat, morons.
Much more “winning with Donnie” and it’s time to drop his butt in a body of water, then hold an anchor pitching contest. Hope you can rise your boats to the occasion, boys.
11Let’s admit it: We do want them to go jump in a lake. And they did!
12John, hate to break it to you buddy, but your photographic knowledge is on par with your boating knowledge and search skills. But maybe a camera person from CBS Austin will hold your beer while you type to find fake news sources to support your “fake news” projections.
ROFL Y’all Qaeda sunk their own boats in a false flag operation. Points for that one, John.
13Funny how so many economically anxious folks have (or had) such expensive boats…
14Yesterday, Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger III, the pilot who landed a jet aircraft intact on the Hudson River so it floated until every passenger was rescued, said Trump is unfit for office & should be voted out. He knows what we need to do in an emergency situation.
Then, we have people who believe another four years of Trump is a good idea, supporters who can’t even keep their own boats above water. They created their own emergency, and want more of it.
15When marinas send us their people they are not sending us their best…
Also METAPHOR ALERT!
16Mari #5: Hilarious, thanks!
I heard people were cited for drunkenness and not having life vests. MAGA says we don’t need safety laws!
17Never really a coxswain during my time in Big Gray and Underway, but I’ve seen better boat-driving from drunken monkeys.
Hey, if nobody gets the COVID from this episodic farce, can we recommend it as prevention?
18The happiest day is when you buy your big boat. The second happiest day is when it sinks and the insurance pays it off.
Kinda like declaring bankruptcy on a failed resort.
19And all the cool kids (ok, at least the grad students in my old department) are calling it Dumbkirk.
20Repubabon @ 14 Look at the parade of $20,000-$40,000 bass boats heading in and out of Dallas or Houston any summer weekend. How many bass does it take to equal $20,000?

I really don’t care, do you?
No masks were lost
Freedumb riders called socialist 9-1-1!
22First, our thoughts and prayers to …
+1 on “I like boats that don’t sink.” Losers. Weak.
23I suppose life vests are akin to face coverings, did not see anyone wearing one in the photos on various news sites.
24I saw it called the “Derp Flotilla.” I do love Dumbkirk though.
25After trump’s slander of the military it’s probably just as well they didn’t need to call the Coast Guard.
26Klannish Armada
27Jim Wright of Stonekettle Station dubbed it “MAGAglugluglug”
28Flags. Water. Ignorance. Money. Glub.
29Hope their heavy artillery all sank to the bottom of the lake.
30@Henry–Kudos to you! I was trying to think of something related to the Spanish Armada. “Klannish Armada” is perfect! Wish I’d thought of it, but glad that you did.
31Judging from the pics and videos, 96% of those ‘captains’ wouldn’t know how to tie a bowline knot, let alone operate their vessels in a safe and prudent manner.
Typical of most inland freshwater boaters. At the bottom are most of the jerkwater bassboaters, then various speedboat types, who spend/finance $25-100K+ for some fiberglass, horsepower, and a set of keys to light it off with. Then proceed to be aquatic assholes.
There’s some sarcastic rumors about these ‘Trump’s Armada’ yoyo’s being in for insurance troubles. Could be, marine insurers have gotten real sticky the last decade or so *.
A nice ‘surprise’ may be that most of them have it bundled with their auto and home insurance, heheh… reckless with one, reckless with the rest?
* I only carry $1mil in marine liability insurance now, no vessel hull/equipment coverage; insuring a big older sailboat in hurricane territory is simply cost-prohibitive today. And I’m a trained mariner w/certs [for 50+ years].
