So, you're saying you don't want those RAGBRAI dollars. Welp, we're more than happy to stop spending that money all the way across your state.

LOL at these prices they’re really owning the libs in their gas guzzlers

They are afraid to ride bikes because they'll quickly be run over or have heart attacks from using their bodies for something besides using their bodies to trample freedom & independence.

I know this will shock everyone here: they ride bicycles in Iowa.

Why would Iowans be so worried about the ballroom too?

God is love and not involved with any of this.

But RAGBRAI is a pretty big deal

Just look at all these people not riding bikes in Iowa

Honestly we probably don't deserve it. I love RAGBRAI (I bike from home to the start every year) and love that we have it, but as the state continues to get redder, dumber, and more hostile to cyclists in general, I'd love to see it move to, say, Minnesota.

*Edit - teh spnellig

It can't do that; then it would be RAGBRAM instead. It could move to Illinois, though.

Also, as a Georgian I feel like I should mention that BRAG exists.

Because they're deeply stupid people.

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

We only do things that everyone is happy with, which is why we stand in bulletproof boxes to talk to you

There is also a Colorado one too, which seems crazy. Ride the Rockies I think it is called.

We don't ride bikes in Iowa...

We crank our hogs! Ain't that right boys? 🔥💀

We live in the stupidest fucking timeline.

idiots out wandering about.

We may not have universal healthcare, or low housing costs, or even affordable groceries, but our strong Orange Man can get himself a ballroom and ban bike lanes.

Because it is built on earth shatteringly large corruption of the President of the common country that influences Iowan lives quite substantially ... oh you meant why someone in Iowa should think it is important to construct that monument to corruption? What do I know, watch some Republican ads, maybe they can tell us.

Your loving God watched every child rape happen and did two things to protect the kid - Jack and shit.

My god is love and is not to involved with any of that.

A Mel Brooks movie reference in my morning Lemmy scan? How dare you make me laugh before my coffee!

yup, done it. It's awesome

simultaneously all-powerful but also unable to help with anything.
its easy to trace a line from this level of cognitive surrender to the exact same ignorance and arrogance the current administration thrives on.

RAGBRAI, yes? Awesome!

Since 1973, RAGBRAI, Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, has been a celebrated tradition, bringing thousands of cyclists and spectators together for an unforgettable journey across the state. As the oldest, largest, and longest multi-day bicycle tour in the world, RAGBRAI is more than a ride. It’s a festival on wheels, a showcase of Iowa’s hospitality, and a driver of local economic and tourism growth. Each year, riders from all 50 states and upwards of 20 countries come to experience the charm of Iowa’s small towns, creating lifelong memories and meaningful connections.

But yah, the politician is clearly not lying, and knows what's up.

Just heard it now in this post and now I wanna do it

I absolutely loved when it came through my neighborhood in Madison County, they got treated to a full on country church picnic with homemade food and deserts 💜

Current admin started a war: this is not love.

Whenever I see political speeches with all these sign waving people behind the speaker, I automatically think it's North Korea style propaganda. It looks entirely staged with the exception of the defensive glass box used to protect against American assassins because apparently Americans are now wanting to get rid of this government. And these politicians clearly know it. They know it so well they create this farce of a show.

Lol I swear it's like my username is the actual answer to all the world's problems.

The shitty trump impression is so dorky.

Such vitriol. And for what? Love? May your harvest be bountiful

We don't ride bicycles in Iowa.

I don't grow or raise any produce in my house. I guess everyone should abandon food and starve.

You trying to use logic against maga arguments? Happy first birthday yesterday.

FBI, open up! You want a job?

like I said, you have the perfect mindset to fit right in with the current administration. you must be having an absolute blast!

the self-infantilization continues, how embarrassing.

Manifest Destiny, Eugenics, ElcaineVolta, etc

me: people can believe whatever they want

you: there is an ultimate truth and those who don't conform to it are inferior

They're going to be riding soon, once they all realize that the gas prices are never coming back down and this isn't temporary.

enjoy the tiny cage you've voluntarily put your brain in.

more like you've outsourced your own mind at a time we need people pulling their weight.
if you ever feel like no one takes you seriously, that is why.

This photo is obviously AI.

Athletic Iowans. Something maga usually isn't.

I thought it was from Catch-22

its alsow here the OLDEST senator is, chuck greasly.

they all likely paid to be there.
