Let me just say that it is wonderful to see DU having such a good laugh

[malaise]

since afternoon.

A shout out to all the hilarious threads and posts about the lake rehearsal for the sinking of the Con's ship of state. Can't remember the last time we had such a good time

[Walleye]

1. Schadenfreude is a dish best taken cold.

Having worked and played on a few boats myself, gotta admit I got a good laugh out of it. It is a metaphor for the incompetence. You can’t keep a boat afloat on pure bullshit.

[sarge43]

24. It's one of those events that can make you rethink agnosticism

A benevolent higher power had to plan that.

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. How true.

Circling the drain is a beautiful thing, unless you're the one doing the circling.

[lunatica]

12. Well we're smarter about things like

not shitting where you eat. Or cutting our nose off to spite our face.

Just saying...

[ARPad95]

3. It's great!

[Enterstageleft]

4. I'm enjoying it too.

I've posted a few remarks, having fun at the fools expense.

[Totally Tunsie]

5. DAMMIT! We've earned it!

[Brother Buzz]

6. An occasional dose of Schadenfreude is good for the soul

[ananda]

7. I just live a few miles from Lake Travis.

I posted it on FB and my friends and family
also had a good laugh.

[malaise]

10. As many others have noted

What a metaphor

[Lonestarblue]

18. Hi Ananda. So do I.

And I had a good laugh. Such a perfect metaphor for Trump’s ship of state.

[dvan]

40. Hi Ananda and Lonestarblue!

I live in old Lakeway and am happy to know I’m not the only one who couldn’t stop laughing when I started seeing the social media posts about the boat parade. Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long, long time.

[WheelWalker]

8. To see karma unfold in real time is a truth to behold.

Blessings.

[MyOwnPeace]

9. You got THAT right!

Some brilliant posts for sure!!!! Some of them will surely go WAY over their heads for understanding, especially if they're standing at the bottom of the lake!

[malaise]

11. Heheheehhehe

but still it appears that there were no rules just typical Con chaos

[Wounded Bear]

13. Indeed! nt

[Delarage]

14. The only thing that could top it off is a hurricane wiping out Mar-A-Lago

or lightning hitting the Trump Hotel

[soldierant]

66. Lighning, by all means.

Hurricanes have such a wide swath that innocent people get hurt in large numbers.

[Delarage]

72. True.

Lightning or maybe an extremely localized tornado or sinkhole. Actually, a sinkhole opening up and dragging them all off to Hell would be very appropriate

[malaise]

73. That would make the boats sinking look tame

[Illumination]

15. It's so tragic to see people with those silly red hats on in distress! Just breaks your heart!...

[leftieNanner]

67. I Know!

I ran around my house looking for life jackets, or ropes, or rescue rangers or something.

Alas, I was too late.

[Illumination]

68. Well like they say, it's the thought that counts! Wonder what happened to the boats. It would be

unbearable if they were ruined! Please don't feel badly. You did what you could to help. Besides, these Trumpsters are beyond help!....

[leftieNanner]

69. The other minor problem

is that I live in Oregon - not Texas.

[Illumination]

70. LUCKY YOU! Good thing! You would have had PTSD to last a lifetime after seeing that!...

[malaise]

71. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

You can dive the treasures they left underwater

[Skittles]

16. agreed

it is true treasure to laugh out loud these days

[Trueblue Texan]

17. amen, hallelujah to that! nt

[Blue Owl]

19. I'm relaxing with a hot cup of Sanka

Just kidding -- it's actually Kona!

[Dave in VA]

20. Anyone written a song yet?

The Ballad of the Battle of Lake Travis...

Everybody join in!

Sing along, now!

[consider_this]

21. Boats n ho's -NSFW

[consider_this]

22. well, I did a lame parody of

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, here:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=14029988

[malaise]

23. I was looking for your thread to post this

Thanks

[ALBliberal]

25. DU is my lifeline. Laughs and threads (so I don't actually have to watch Trump) along with excellent

sources. Love you all DUers.

[Chili]

26. almost as funny, in a way...

were the nutcases who actually thought that it was a real Antifa attack on the boats. Did you see those? I mean, how... don't even know what to say to that. The man running for congress in FL who claimed to be the Vice Admiral of the Antifa Navy - - actually got a semi-threatening reply, among other more clueless ones.

[ResistantAmerican17]

27. We don't need no stinking plugs... plugs are for libs!!!!

[denem]

28. How oarfull.

[3catwoman3]

44. Ahaha haha haha!!!

[duhneece]

29. I like boats that don't sink. nt

[kairos12]

30. Thread winner!

[kairos12]

31. They sank because they

hate bail outs.

[malaise]

32. DUzy

They love bail outs but only for themselves.

[Hekate]

33. I seem to have missed the fun while away. Someone please tell me?

Gods know I need a laugh.

[malaise]

34. There are several hilarious threads about the boats sinking in Lake Travis today

The MAGats with big boats made huge waves and sank four lil MAGat boats,
There were threads with The Metaphor, hilarious posts,, songs, videos and much laughter.

Here is one of more than 20 threads

[Hekate]

35. Thank you!

[Major Nikon]

36. ...

[BamaRefugee]

38. Great!

[H2O Man]

37. Recommended.

[Warpy]

39. I wouldn't be laughing quite so hard if those louts hadn't been on a lake.

There are going to be charges filed and lawsuits enjoined, from what I understand about what happened.

Still, it's a hell of a lot easier to be swamped in a lake than it is in the ocean.

I just hope those drunk shitbags lose those big boats they were roaring down the lake at full speed in.

(I had an overdose of drunk, rich shitbags in oversized stinkpot yachts when I lived in Mass.)

[hibbing]

41. Agreed, it really floats my boat n/t

[malaise]

47. DUzy

[KY_EnviroGuy]

42. It was McTrump's Navy doing tactical maneuvers in preparation for an antifa submarine invasion...

of Lake Travis, sinking thousands of beer bottles to confuse their sonar.



This week featuring Capt. Mnuchin as Capt. Binghamton.....



It was a time for good humor, Malaise......

[malaise]

50. Hehehhe for

McTrump's navy

[KY_EnviroGuy]

KY

[malaise]

55. Hehehehhe

So cute

[3catwoman3]

43. Pinboy3niner would have enjoyed...

...the wittiness of many of the comments.

Boater suppression, in one of the first threads, was brilliant.

[malaise]

48. LOL

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214029354#post76

I loved boat by mail as well

[eleny]

45. I have some mjor catching up to do tonight

[NBachers]

46. The Sinking of the Klannish Armada

Here's the Antifa Navy's proud SS George Soros:

[malaise]

49. DUzy - Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah for the Klannish Armada

[KY_EnviroGuy]

54. Follow-up investigations revealed ships as well.....

KY........

[DFW]

51. As Gordon Lightfoot might have sung:

The water was cold, but hot images told
Of the beautiful women he’d fondled.
At twelve o’clock high, with two yachts racing by,
Came the Wreck of Ship Magadonald!

[malaise]

52. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[marble falls]

56. None of those boats sank, they were using alternative bouyancy.

[NewJeffCT]

57. I temporarily changed my Twitter handle for this

For those without Twitter - it's "Antifa U-Boat Commander"

https://twitter.com/NewJeffCT

[malaise]

60. Nice

<chuckle:

[Kid Berwyn]

58. They got swamped.

Ahoy from the Motor City!

Back in June, a flotilla of the have-mores motored down the Detroit River to send happy turdday to Demented Donnie.



From the banks, a city expressed their very best wishes...



One sign summed up the day’s sentiments...



Another shared a pet name for The Donald...

61. Great photos

They speak for me

[XanaDUer2]

59. I wonder if some of the boats were rented?

Nt

[malaise]

insurance fraud

[Stargleamer]

63. Haven't had this much fun since the Bowling Green massacre! N/t

[malaise]

We should list the MAGAt Alternative Fact Fables - that would take days

[Heartstrings]
