Anna von Strudel gets a mention in one of the many Trump crime threads, the convoy nutters flap in the mud here here, bob reports on the mummified remains of birtherati and the droning of the flies buzzing around Rondeau's vomit. Now we just need John Darash and his moribund Christian dominionist National Liberty Alliance to do something interesting. Ok, that's not going to happen.

Apologies for resurrecting a zombie topic, but since this was where we first met 'Santa', I figure this goes here:
(For those who weren't aware: Santa and his son were both facing child porn charges; now it's just Santa)

But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

Not the convoy "Santa." Different name, location, and age.

It's an older guy in Florida with a different name.

I guess the hair and inflammed cheeks made them look alike to me. My bad.

A very cursory search doesn't show anything recent about David "Santa" (and Proud Boy) Riddell. Possibly holding down a cig, beer, and sofa in Ohio (I think) since both his video preacher and convoy gigs flamed out.

I wonder what happened to the elderly couple he was imposing on. I can't recall their name, but they were thinner and better dressed than your typical MAGA. Their son (Dusty?) was a mess.

What happened to that camp site in the woods where they went to hunker down over winter?

Somewhere, in a far distant galaxy, a quiet rumble can be felt then heard, causing residents to shudder: "oh no, not them!"

It is the legendary Eternal Convoy Of Doom, which wends its lonely way from city to town to village to parking lot, unwanted everywhere. Its scruffy, grubby, foul-mouthed members are despised for their messages of "hate not hope!", "fear the future!", "give us stuff!" and for the prayers they loudly declaim to their corpulent orange demigod, portrayed in unrealistic images on their vehicles.

The screeching and raucous music disturb the local peace but are tolerated for a few days by kindly locals, until the stench becomes unbearably noxious. Then the convoy is rejected, ejected. The engines start – most of them – the drivers beg a little fuel, then disappear into the swirling mists of insignificance. The cacophony abates, peace and calm return.

Occasionally, in some unlucky settlement, the convoy ensnares a new victim, possibly a young person ripe for exploitation, usually an old person of limited intelligence and simmering resentment against their world. The new recruit will experience great disappointment.

It was always so, it will always be.


Naah, I don't think I'll pitch the movie.

Would anyone recognize them as different from the other homeless living out of their cars?

It would make a great TV series. You just need a catchy title, like The Driving Dead

No. That's what they looked like in DC. Except they probably had more access to drugs.
