The Clown Convoy Has Been Sent In

Oh my. It turns out Trump and MAGA were serious when they said they were going to combat the influence of Taylor Swift with... Kid Rock. https://t.co/6OL7d1d3Gc

Trump just announced that he is holding a major fundraiser for his campaign in Nashville, TN on February 22, and the headliner is none other than, you guessed it, Kid Rock himself. The advertisement lists several Tennessee elected officials planning to attend as well, including Senators Marsha Blackburn and Bill Haggerty, and most of the congressional delegation. Getting a chance to see Marsha Blackburn dancing to 'American Badass' might alone be worth the price of admission, until you see those prices. 

I guess they are saving Ted Nugent for the bigger events.

 Now we know where Ted is. He’s on a ranch in Texas.

Truckers Convoy was supposed to be an army of truckers who were going to repel a migrant horde conducting an invasion at the border. Instead it was a handful of drunks who rolled into a ranch in TX to listen to Ted Nugent, Sarah Palin, Lara Logan & J6 defendants.

Dripping Springs is just south of Austin. Eagle Pass is about 4 hours south of Austin (IIRC; I drove there once for a law firm about 45 years ago). Not close to each other, IOW. Which might explain this:

This very disillusioned participant with the Trucker’s Convoy said she just realized that the people who organized it don’t really care about America and are just grifting con artists. Go figure. pic.twitter.com/xCVmsQXPia

She’s not wrong. This the same group that feared “infiltrators” when they got to the border. Which may explain why they’re not getting closer to the border.

If the Border Patrol can’t get to the border, I never understood what these clowns were going to do.
