5 Boats Sink At Trump Boat Parade In Texas

"The weather was calm, the atmosphere festive. Which made it all the more surprising when several boats sank Saturday at an event put on by Trump supporters near Austin, Texas.

"Decorate your boats in patriotic colors and fly as many Trump flags as she can handle!" the Facebook page for the Lake Travis Trump Boat Parade encouraged. "Let's really make a statement!"

The statement wasn't what they intended. When the hundreds of boats started moving together, their wakes created unexpected turbulence. Before long, the Travis County Sheriff's Office had received 15 distress calls. It received three more reports of boats taking on water from a local towing company.

"Almost immediately upon the parade going into motion, TCSO began receiving distress calls from boaters," the sheriff's office said in a press release. "The distress calls varied and included: boats taking on water, stalled engines, capsized boats and boats sinking."

Most of the boats taking on water were able to be towed before they sank to the bottom of the lake, the sheriff's office said. Ultimately, five boats did sink during the event. Three of those were recovered, but two remained submerged Sunday. "-NPR



"One of the boats inundated with water was carrying several pro-Trump flags, including one with the message "Make the liberals cry again.""

Yeah, let's have these clowns with Trump's "herd mentality" elect our next President.

What could possibly go wrong?

I'm just a simple country boy, but they taught us in high school that any boat can sink in water if it has a leak.

That applies to Dems and Repubs equally.

However, it is true that Biden voters are calm and logical as they demand free things while looting and burning their towns.

Thousands of thousands boats take to the water resulting in boats being crammed together due to the large numbers and only 5 have problems? This is what clown uses in an attempt to distract from HCQ studies showing it works?

Again, johnny, you need to learn to read.

The boats had no l e a k s, dummy. They were swamped by the dimwitted not understanding that you can't behave like the laws of physics don't apply to you. They can't grasp the consequences of their foolish chest pounding and partisan grunting.

And there weren't just five boats with problems, Tool. You need to learn to read as well. There were many boats with problems. Most were just lucky enough to be towed to safety by the sheriff before they sank. Trump supporters are lucky no one died, boats being the only casualties of their mindless jingoism---this time.

This is a case of Trump supporters swamping themselves from ignorance, same as they are swamping the entire country politically.

My post demonstrates how our own ignorant Trump supporters swamp the board and themselves with too much dimwittedness and repetitious threads that should have been combined into a single thread about HCQ.

johnforbes continues to demonstrate his Trump "herd mentality" by droning on about uncontroversial issues, pretending they are interesting and relevant. He pretends that science showing HCQ can be a treatment for those already sick with COVID somehow makes Trump right about recklessly prescribing HCQ to the masses as a prophylactic. He wasn't.

And johnforbes just can't let it go. So he continues to embarrass himself and Trump by providing the evidence Trump was wrong and actually criminal in his self-serving behavior. It's the cost of indulging one's irrational obsessive/compulsive behaviors instead of getting treatment for them.

johnny, none of the other boat 'parades' that day had any 'leaky' boats sink. These boats sank when the parade started to move, not when they were standing still.

Regardless, why would you think leaky boats start to sink when they begin to move forward--exactly the time they DON'T sink because they drain water out their drain plug holes when under way, dimwit.

It was clearly stupidity, ignorance, and jingoism that sank those boats, just as it will sink the country.


You're really crabbing here.
#127485
johnny, you are parading your Trump-supporter gross ignorance.

Read the article. It wasn't any leak that sunk the boats or had anything to do with a rising water level in the BOATS. (Not "boat" you dishonest partisan turd.) The boats were swamped by the ignorant operators. Just ask the county sheriff. It's in the reports.

The boats were fine until Trump supporters grabbed their figurative pitchforks and torches and mindlessly took off to slay the perceived monster.

It never bodes well when a mindless reactionary mob thinks they know what needs to be done. (Just look at the devisive President they naively voted for.)

lake travis, beautiful shore line overlooked by an oasis of delicious mexican delights on a gazillion decks. and i swear no drunk cheap beer drinking boaters were drunk during this drunken red polyester hat flag rally. ruining the view of naked people with stink boats goose throttling, auto-swamping, banging gunnels, and creating give-a -fuck-about-others tidal waves, backing into their own wake. i can only imagine the horrific scene. it's bad enough on nice summer day without a planed idiot roundup.

all boats are trying to sink, all the time. if ya' can't control your sink, watch your plimsoll line and look at boobs, stay off the boat.

Why must johnforbes always resort to lies about me when he can't refute my arguments?

Of course, I have NEVER had any "anti-HCQ argument". johnfibs simply made it up.

My position has always been the same---HCQ should be tested for efficacy and if shown to be useful, it should be used in treating COVID. If shown to be ineffective or too dangerous, it should not be used to fight COVID. That's what intelligent people believe, contrary to johnforbes' position which is to have it prescribed because a dimwitted politician wants to look like he's doing something when he isn't.

My only "anti" position on HCQ is that brainless asshole Presidents without any medical training SHOULD NEVER PRESCRIBE HCQ to the masses the way Trump did. And he STILL SHOULDN'T. I am always consistent because, unlike johnforbes, I always follow the science.

johnforbes follows an obese, ignorant politician without any relevant credentials. This is because he is a dimwitted Republican drone who cheers on his party no matter how insane and unAmerican the Party positions are.

I don't understand why Johnnie is flooding the board with these hydroxychloroquine posts?

It's settled already....the FDA issued guidance and they said hydroxycholoroquine is not effective in treating people with COVID-19?

Although I appreciate the flood of Elkin's commentary, there is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.

Alas, in Elkin's case, it leads to ignorance of the many, many studies which have trickled in since the erroneous decision Elkin cited.

There are few articles about HCQ in the biased press these days, but why is that?

Because almost TWO BILLION PEOPLE GOT EARLY HCQ AND THEIR MORTALITY RATE WAS OVER 70 PERCENT LOWER.

and we have it putins sound bite du jour. yesterday's, the day before, and before, and the month before, and the month before that...
go take your bread box full of hqc, and then go lick a dock head door knob. i'll wait for the doctors to tell me what is best, not a fat russian cheeto colored asset.
#127536
well john i did read a few. till my eyes turned watery, and drool started appearing on my desk. most of what i read is: the studies were incomplete, marginal at best, or stopped. your link site reminded me of cheap directional site of questionable origins similar to anti war campus flyers of yesteryear. why are you still trying to sow discord? let the scientist direct this. not your emotions or glamour studio 54 bankrupt lying egomaniac. he is not working for america. does not believe in america. and you know it. he has shown you from day 22,000 ago, to be a loudmouth-grandstanding, fools-fox, fucking your planet. AND you have helped sell it. sham on you! you do know better i'm guessing. or you are just another butina in drag. so go have a nice cuppa...
#127597
Diver, that is true.

But HCQ is what you use just after getting diagnosed with covid.

The 100 + studies show that it works early.

Instead of arguing pointlessly against a drug which works, do some reading and educate yourself.
#127601
Nobody is "arguing pointlessly against a drug", dimwit. You are arguing pointlessly FOR a drug no one is arguing about.

If the science says it works, then you can be sure doctors are using it.

And if they aren't, then you yakking at them to give it to you isn't going to do anything for you.

Start posting about something that matters for once. Stop your pointless partisan yammering about nothing.
