My DU Friends, We Missed an Important Anniversary

Sept. 5, 2020: the MAGATs had a boat parade in Texas and it was like a kiddie car ride gone amok.

Several boats capsized and the sheriff of Travis County had to come save the MAGATs.

Here's a pic:



I'm not sure I've ever laughed so hard. I have fond memories of that MAGAT stunt, witnessed from my computer room in NJ.

I was prompted to remind you of the anniversary because I heard there was an attempted trump boat parade at the NJ shore today but there was only one boat. So much for the "parade."

However, they did better with their parade down Ocean Ave. I heard they were in Avon, Bradley Beach, Belmar, Asbury Park. That's if you want to call 15 jerks in pickup trucks with trump flags a "parade."

MAGA is lacking in basic nautical skills or judgement

It is very well done, however, so I confess the YouTube comments clued me in.

It seemed like a very plausible commentary from someone who sunk their magat boat, LOL

Good lord, it is hard to tell "the Onion" from a Trump speech anymore,
and there ARE actually MAGAts wearing diapers claiming that
"Real Men Wear Diapers"...

hard to tell what is real and what isn't,
and KUDOS to the mockers

It’s unfortunate that there were no sharks on hand for this event.

Knew I had seen this recently, but had forgotten the wonderful moniker that should henceforth be the official name of this waterborne idiocy, until it sunk that is.

Does anybody here know?

I don't think there were any sharks in that lake, were there? So nobody got eaten? Just electrocuted?

It was relatively easy to make, too. Some of them are real challenges. The next one, about Alito and the SCOTUS, took months to complete. This one about Lake Travis took less than ten days from start to finish.
