Oh boy! The Take Our Border Back convoy is coming through Central Texas tomorrow.

[bluesbassman]

They planned on some kind of rally in the parking lot of the Dripping Springs HEB, but HEB told them company policy prohibits any kind of political rallies. So apparently they're moving it do a new distillery's parking lot where I'm guessing they'll all end up drunk in the tasting room.

Our daughter who lives in Drip called in a bit of a panic because the news and promoters keep saying they "expect" 700,000 vehicles. I told her not to get too stressed, last I heard they had about 20 or 30 vehicles participating.

1. what a great name for a town in Texas

Dripping springs... or Drip.

one might even call it a "discharge" Texas has a drip. so THAT's how those spots appeared on Dumpy drawers hands!

6. Used to be a pretty cool place. The population has exploded and Chip Roy represents it in Congress.

Depressing as hell.

[walkingman]

10. Same applies for New Braunfels - not the same place it used to be....

[limbicnuminousity]

11. Chip Roy represents dripping springs? Seriously?

Chip Roy defends dripping springs and their second amendment rights.
Chip Roy applauds measure to plug holes in anti-abortion legislation with dripping springs.
Chip Roy gives dripping springs a bad name.

they write themselves.

[surfered]

17. Agreed. I grew up a little west of Austin

And Dripping Springs was nice. But if they elected and put up with Chip Roy then they’ve drunk the Kool Aid. The District boundaries look gerrymandered to include that area

2. Ohhhh...yipay, yipayy! Got your confetti ready!? 😉

[LeftInTX]

3. Remind me to stay off 35 tomorrow and 90.LOL

[bluesbassman]

7. No kidding. Those 700,000 vehicles are gonna have a helluva time trying to get up 290!

We used to be in Georgetown. 35 is a nightmare most of the time now, could you imagine a 700,000 vehicle convoy?

[stopdiggin]

4. thought it had pretty much fallen apart ..

I guess the only remaining question is ... How much self imposed humiliation are these chuckle heads capable of withstanding?

[bluesbassman]

9. Well, they're promising them Ted Nugent will be there so the humiliation isn't close to over!

5. Makes me wonder what trucker has the extra money to fuel such a wasteful trip w/ no cargo? I thought

things were tough in this field.

[ProfessorGAC]

8. The Truckers Here At DU...

.agree with you.
One of them commented on this very thing just yesterday.

[SWBTATTReg]

12. I feel for them too, things have been tough for them. Seems like less and less cargo, pricing pressures,

etc. I haven't seen any of my friends lately who work in this field, so thank you for the heads up.

[niyad]

13. I wonder who is fundung them?

[MustLoveBeagles]

16. Good question

[limbicnuminousity]

21. Backed somehow by Bannon if memory serves.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218632967

The relevant tweet says: This is the plan: Steve Bannon has a small army of border fanatics in San Ysidro, CA, Sasabe, AZ, & Eagle Pass, TX.

That's not funding. Presumably whoever funds Bannon is funding this gathering.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Maybe bigger now, but I saw pic with 20 cars and no truck. . . . nt

[B.See]

20. That's because (I read someplace) that

They ended up psyching themselves out via a conspiracy theory that the whole thing was an fbi psy-op designed to round em up (as it were). But then another theory arose that the real fbi psy-op was putting out the notion that the whole thing was an FBI psy-op. That is, until my little dog told me that in actuality, that was, in fact, the real pay-op to undo the previous psy-ops....

[StarryNite]

14. It will probably be on the local news.

Ask your daughter to keep you posted so you can keep us posted about the size of the turnout and what the locals are saying.

18. AS A SOVEREIGN CITIZEN IN THE "MAKE UP YOUR OWN LAWS" STATE OF TEXAS ...

You MUST put up a toll booth.



Props to Blue Texans!

19. Get out the razor wire and the police STOP STICKS!
