I completely forgot about the trump boat parade where all the poors in little boats got wave rocked by richer supporters and got their boats sank while the rich didn't even acknowledge their struggles...

Like, give the best writers in Hollywood a blank check and a year in the writers room, and they couldn't come up with a better analogy of what it's like to be a Republican.

It was straight out of Arrested Development.

Much like the press conference at The Four Seasons (Landscaping).

It was titled #Dumbkirk

Is there a link or video to this anywhere?

The Travis County sheriff's office said it responded to "multiple calls of boats in distress throughout the parade."

And of course they let the tax payer pay for it.

Well duh, what else are public funds for if not cleaning up after their betters /s

Those poor fishes.

When I think of a trump train I just think human centipede.

Bunch of ass sucking, shit eating, weirdos.

Man fuck Glen Youngkin and his weird little vest

Really wish the DNC hadn't tried to run the "does being anti Trump work when trump isn't running" experiment in my home state. They completely misread the room about what matters to Virginia and why they were gaining footholds there. Turns out: swing states are swing states because people are conflicted on the issues. Terry McAuliff didn't do anything to say what he was or what he was about. Making it all about the cult of personality meant traditionally disenfranchised voters weren't given any reason to care one way or the other. All they saw was two white dudes saying Glen Youngkin was identical to Trump. That only fed the portion of Virginians who were voting about the cult of personality and that, DNC, was not a crowd you wanted to mobilize, you complete fucking idiots

Is that boat identifying itself as a train? I thought repubes were against that kinda stuff

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

[–] jontree255@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

It’s a cult. You’ll never be able to make sense of it.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yo, dipshit, that's not a train, that's a motorboat

One is what Vance wishes Chairry and her friends would run on him, the other is what he does with particularly naughty pillows

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

Thanks, I hate it.

🎶 train on the water boat on a track 🎵

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yesterday, I learned the difference between a train and a boat...I wrote this song before that.

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I don't think we want to run a train on trump.

[–] jontree255@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Glenn (and Trump) seem to forget that the only reason he won was because Dems ran a dogshit candidate. Now that they’re not I don’t see VA going to Trump.

Glenn Youngkin is a spineless opportunist who thinks he knows better than everyone else because he has money. Remember that when he tries to run for President.

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Fun fact: there are more trains in the lake than there are boats on the tracks.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 1 points 1 month ago

I was asked to join a few guys running one of those again but I was not into that.

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Dude, at least tie some boats together in a line. I'd accept that as a train.
