The Battle of Lake Travis--an alternate theory

While it is generally believed that the Antifa submarine fleet is principally responsible for our overwhelming victory in the Battle of Lake Travis, in which the Magat Armada was decimated, new evidence has come to light suggesting that Seal Team Antifa planted canned-soup mines along the Armada’s expected trajectory causing significant damage (and, mercifully, no loss of life). Just utter humiliation.

Scroll down in the Tweet thread to get the Seal Team Antifa theory. Evidently, navy beans work best.

The straw that broke the camel's back.

This is it.

We have often speculated about what it might take to sever Donald Trump from his irrationally-devoted base. Was he right, we wondered, when he said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a single voter? Was he right when he proved he could brag about grabbing women by their genitals and not lose his base? Was he right to assume that lying to the American people—over 20,000 times and counting—wouldn’t cause him to lose his loyal base of support?

For nearly four years it has appeared to us that Trump couldn’t lose his base no matter what he said or did. I think that changed today.

I would be willing to bet that 80% or more of Trump’s supporters (especially the Proud Bois, the Bugaloo Boys, and his vigilante wannabe warriors) are either ex-military, themselves, or closely related to one or more persons who served in the armed forces. What you CAN NOT do to those people is piss on the graves of their honored dead. THAT crosses the line.

Trump was on the right track with these folks when he was defending the statues of their honored dead (their exceptionalist history), but the recently released Atlantic article, unless denied and debunked, paints Trump into a corner that will significantly damage his standing with his militant, white, poorly-educated, and highly-patriotic base.

You can’t call our war heroes losers. You can’t ask why they bothered to fight if there was nothing in it for them. You can’t call them suckers and refuse to honor their sacrifice just because you don’t want to get your hair wet. You especially have no right to hold such beliefs if you are a five-time draft-dodger.

Trump just crossed the line with many of his most devoted supporters, and I imagine that Trump’s support will dwindle SIGNIFICANTLY as a result.

Drink more red wine and green tea.

Get more sun and more Vitamin D. This is super-important. Here’s why:

Understand the underlying problem. With COVID-19 the problem is bradykinin. The excessive presence of this protein in the body explains nearly all COVID-19 symptoms.

This is a medical breakthrough (discovered only recently) courtesy of American scientists at our federal Oak Ridge laboratories.

My Biden-Harris song. It feels good to listen to this one occasionally.

Enjoy!



I have “high hopes.”
