once again, the world’s most gullible imbeciles have been hoodwinked. after listening for months to yammering blowhards on Fox News and Newsmax telling them that brown-skinned commie hordes were streaming by the millions across Sleepy Brandon’s open borders and coming to their home towns to steal their jobs and get their sisters hooked on fentanyl, these credulous numb-nuts decided it was time to get all pro-active and shit.

we’re going down to the border, they announced, and we’re going to fuck these migrants up. they were going down to Eagle Pass in Texas, the site of Greg Abbott’s I AM THE LAW civil-war-cosplay hissy fit, and they were going take matters into their own hands and open up a fresh can of vigilante whup-ass on these swarthy border-crossers.

I’ll drown these illegals with my own two hands if I have to! they promised that a convoy of 700,000 patriotic truckers would mass along Rio Grande and shut that open-border shit right the fuck down — but as with anything planned and executed by these morons, it was a craptastic clown-show.

our good friend Anarchy Princess was on the scene for the start of the convoy, and did the math.

“Guys, this is the fucking convoy. That’s it. Not a semi truck in site. 19 vehicles. Anything other images you are seeing of a large group of trucks is from 2022.”

There's a lot more to this story but I can't make it fit into the 4 paragraphs. There are some choice Tiedrich insults for Sarah Palin, Ted Nugent, and several other has-been wingnuts too. It's worth a click to read the rest of it.

This is what happens when all they listen to is hate-radio and wing-nut news.

1. One article said a person got kicked off the bus. That must be an interesting story.

4. There are lots of interesting details on Meidas Touch's blog

However I can't see any mention of someone being thrown off the bus.
Maybe it's an undercover reporter? I don't know.

19. Thanks for this link, very revealing on-the-ground reporting. I actually felt bad for the disillusioned woman

who was despondent and in tears. It can't be easy to see your whole world-view crumble in front of you - hopefully there will be more to follow. It would be interesting to know what she does next.

23. I revel in her despondence.

She went down there hoping to cause physical harm to innocent people. If she boo-hoo-hoos a little and then goes home unharmed herself, this requires no pity or sympathy from decent people.

2. The man wearing that shirt worships a coward who bought his way

out of military service. He can't be very bright.

[erronis]

16. And I don't think Jesus signed up for the armed forces either.

[lapfog_1]

3. To the moron wearing the "only two defining forces... blah blah"

I doubt very much that Jesus would refer to himself as a "defining force" ( pretty much anti-military in all of his teachings )

Jesus actually DIED for us... Obviously you haven't tried hard enough.

6. So those men in the photo must be veterans, am I right?

They look like they're in their 70's, or maybe even Vietnam-era vets. Why are these people supporting Chump anyway? Why are they wearing MAGA hats?

... the Repukes never did a thing for our American veterans. Chump cheated his way out of being drafted ... but that's another story. They should all be ashamed of him.

7. I'm with FakeNoose 100%..

This Navy vet is waiting for any of these clowns to explain EXACTLY, in detail, what Mango Mussolini has done to honor their service.

[sop]

11. Or honor Jesus.

[Bluejeans]

14. This Air Force vet feels exactly the same!

I'll never understand why so many veterans support Cadet Bone Spurs!

[pwb]

10. Just like the white people wearing Blacks for Trump

tee shirts? Everything with the pukes is staged . I doubt they are real Veterans.

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. And that's why there will never be another civil war

Biden was right to ignore this and let it burn itself out.

[usonian]

9. But wait! That's just the first wave.

The toughest and smartest.

The rest will bring up the rear.

[erronis]

17. The chicken-hawk armchair warriors like Dicky Cheney, right?

[usonian]

18. I was going to say something a bit more rude than "bring up the rear"

But it’s Sunday, what the hell?
I reserve the right to change my mind later.

8. It is all a big money grab going to the red south.

And it always was. IMO.

[sop]

12. The Convoy and The Caravan both kind of fizzled out.

[patphil]

13. Apparently all those truckers decided they would rather use their trucks to pay the rent and put food on the table,

Instead of spending weeks with their empty trucks down at the border on a fools errand.

21. And diesel ain't cheap! Nt

15. Some great stuff there!

20. I see a lot of old white men. Seems that is mainly the MAGA base now.

I confronted one several weeks ago.

He was wearing an old, dusty, trucker hat, with a US flag on it, blasting my state of California, and complaining about LGBTQ people and issues, and not being able to use the restroom in a PRIVATE restaurant.

He tried to record our conversation with his seemingly "old" phone, and was surprised when I wasn't only NOT intimidated but I actually said "Hi" to the camera and waved to his "audience".

Evidently he was used to minorities backing down to his verbal screed and wasn't used to one (me) standing up and blocking everything he said with sound reasoning and logic.

I told him that in the 15 min or so we were going back and forth verbally, he could have walked several minutes to the nearby shopping center (that was still around), and used the... wait for it.... PUBLIC RESTROOM which is available in every shopping mall/center I've been to in the country.

6 minutes to walk there (which was half the distance I walked to the restaurant). It took me about 6 minutes to walk twice that distance from my house to the place. So, I gave him the same amount of time to go half the distance, assuming he walked half the speed I did. If he drove, it would be even faster.

It seems his whole spiel was really complaining about California, minorities, LGBTQ people, and the like, and not about using the bathroom, which apparently he forgot about a minute into his rant, because it was no longer about using the bathroom in a PRIVATE place but about all the other things I mentioned previously.

22. Grreat job my friend! Usually if you debate them, they've got no answers

These MAGAs can't think for themselves. They just get their talking points from Faux Noise and hate-radio.
