Originally, this Shade was going to be all about me having some fun with #Dumbkirk. Something about swamp dwellers getting swamped by other swamp dwellers, and then riffing on the theme. But, the whole internet has done and overdone that already. Hell, even the Wikipedia page for Lake Travis included this until some overly officious pedant got all snooty and took it away.
The Battle of Lake Travis
In September of 2020 a parade of boats took to Lake Travis in support of US President Donald Trump. In an epic battle between man and sea the lake capsized multiple boats, signalling nature’s rejection of fascism. The event has come to be known as the Battle of Lake Travis.
Then there’s this brilliant summary.
How does one improve on that?
All I really had to add, was the news of Travis Lake being knighted for service to the Crown in the engagement now knows as: Sir Travis Lake and the swamping of the tRumpish Armada. Lake’s flagship was part of the famous Blue Wave.
In the two days since the swamping of the swamp, there has been no reaction from Mopy Prick, the Orange Sludge Clogging the Drain and current Rezident of the United States. At this moment, he is known to be shaving points from his golf score while furiously thinking of lame insults to hurl at people reporting on his views about military service. We expect him to ignore the loss of parts of his Flotilla of the Morally Flatulent, while blaming President Obama for funding the antifa conspiracy that developed the soup torpedoes used in the incident that didn’t happen.
Some people believe his campaign has gone dark to retool his slogan. They say his new campaign slogan will be: “Vote for the Failure, so You Can Feel Superior — tRump 2020”. However, we think this is unlikely as that contains a four syllable word. A more likely candidate is: “tRump 2020 — Go Down With the Ship.”
Up the Resistance!
