DUMB ASS: MAGA blogger: Boats that sunk at Trump Boat Parade were probably hit by 'terrorists'

During the “Trump Boat Parade” this Saturday on Lake Travis in Austin, Texas, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that they had received multiple calls for boats in distress and that a number of them had sunk.

At least three boats went down in 30 minutes, according to ABC News.


While it’s clear that the boats were likely overtaken by the wake of other boats speeding along the lake, that’s not stopping some from floating their own conspiracy theories about what happened, namely pro-Trump writer and “Christian conservative” Carmine Sabia.

“The likelihood of all of these boats sinking at the Trump Boat Parade by accident is microscopic,” he tweeted. “We are dealing with terrorists.”

Probably bigger boats, carrying more trump flags, with dickhead idiot skippers. That's what you get when you ignore speed and safety warnings.

small craft warnings should have been - and probably were - issued, but no one is going to tell a MAGAt to stay off the water in their dangerously overloaded boats with 3-5ft. waves! Maritime laws are for liberal p#ssies who don't have a great leader like Donald J. Trump to worship. It's abundantly clear to sane people that these morons see conspiracies no matter which way they turn, and absolutely nothing could be their own stupid fault for doing extra-stupid shit.

Chicken noodle, borscht, and French onion proved far less effective. Although the borscht did leave nice stains on hulls.

as they do for virologists. Can't let a little thing like unsafe boating conditions stop the Magatpalooza. And then, of course, they blame us.

I am sure he counts sailors that go down at sea as "losers". "They should have been rich enough to get one of the big boats, they had it coming."

Something goes wrong, and you have a whole list of 'others' you can blame it on!

- antifa
- terrorists
- Democrats
- liberals
- people of color
- etc

Never your own fault though!
Lovely way to live!

Did they think that up by themselves? No, Trump gave them that idea!
(And once you develop that line of thinking, there is little chance of you improving yourself, or becoming more in tune with reality. Sounds like Trump, really. This is TSS - Trump Stupidity Syndrome!)
