Also: McFail’s Navy, and “Klan overboard!”
Seen elsewhere: “While I as Vice Admiral of the Antifa Navy would like to take credit for this attack, it was actually caused by rich douchebags in giant boats, speeding by smaller one and swamping them in their wake. If there’s a better metaphor for the Republican Party, I haven’t heard it.”
cordially,

Such a large group, all so unaware of flotsam and jetsam ...'seamanship' ??
--maybe confusing these within their all-round-gravitas? The event kinda buoys my spirits anyway, (both these races-to-the-bottom). ;*>

Re: “Metaphors are wonderful things” —Charles Pierce
To the tune of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” by Gordon Lightfoot
THE WRECK OF THE ‘SS FULL MAGA’
The legend lives on from Bowling Green on down Of the big lake they called Sinky Trumpy Lake Travis, it’s said, never gives up her dead When the lakes of September turn bumpy With a load of full bores, twenty six thousand tons more Than the ‘SS Full MAGA’ weighed empty That good ship and true painted red white and blue When the waves of November came early
The ship was the pride of the north Dallas burbs Sailing back from a rally in Irving As motorboats go, it was bigger than most With a captain and crew - more than twenty Their MAGA hats on, but of masks, they had none When they left fully loaded for Austin And later that night when the ship’s bell rang Could it be the blue wave they’d been lost in?
With covfefe strong, all the boats sailed along Flying Trump flags from every railing The waves rose up high but they zoomed right on by All the libtards alongshore, a-wailing And every man knew, as the captain did too, Twas the witch of November come stealing! Kamala’s her name and they see her dark flame Lighting up the skies o’er Sinky Trumpy
The boats were too close - two or three feet at most And the big waves began now a buildin- The little boats sank, people fell in and drank The dark waters of gloomy Lake Travis When suppertime came the old man came on deck sayin Magas, it’s too rough to feed ya But at 7 pm when the hatchway caved in, he said Magas, it’s been good to know ya!
The captain, he cried out to call 9-1-1 But his iphone could not get a signal He sent off a text and he tried WhatsApp next But the good ship and crew were in peril And later that night when his lights went outta sight Came the wreck of the SS Full MAGA Does anyone know where a Trumper can go To find someone to hear his sad saga?
The searchers all say they’d have made it that day If they hadn’t drunk so much Sam Adams Of twenty white men, none that knew how to swim We searched for ‘em deep in the fathoms They might have split up or they might have got swamped It might have been sharks that have got ‘em Now all that remains is the faces and the names And the Trump flags stretched out on the bottom
The legend lives on from Bowling Green on down Of the big lake they called Sinky Trumpy Lake Travis, they said, never gives up her dead When the waves of November come early!
