Reality is that thousands of smiling "bros" attended the weigh in at the Lincoln Memorial with the Washington monument in the background. As the steroid laden gladiators traded menacing words and stares, the crowd cheered.
Reality is that the child who inhabits the White House demanded that the tarp that covered the removal of his name from the facade of The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, stay up. And so it has.
Reality is that the G7 leaders agreed to delay the start of the summit so he could stage his circus in our Nation's capital.
Maybe a lightning strike tonight? Come on Mother Nature, work with me here. Surely there must be consequences for the known and unknown acts of this villain. Now that would be a reality that would restore some sanity instead of waking up every morning wondering if he launched the codes.
Back in 2006, the film IDIOCRACY was considered absurdist satire. The movie imagined a 2030 America that elected a former wrestler named Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, a president who governed through spectacle, yelling, product placement, and entertainment.
One of the film’s final scenes involves a public execution staged as a monster-truck gladiator event called the "Extreme Court." At the time, it seemed hilariously over the top. But here we are 24 years later, witnessing a UFC cage match on the South Lawn, surrounded by mega grifting--merch booths, crypto promotions, kickbacks, celebrity fighters, fireworks, motorcycles, and a president who may or may not “launch a nuclear weapon as a festive personal milestone” (thank you for that one, Mary)
The White House promoting a human cock fight / birthday/ grifting extravaganza just proves that Idiocracy wasn't satire. It was prophecy.
Crass, corrupt, and cruel are perhaps the words written by Senator Booker that I would wholeheartedly agree with in describing the atrocious spectacle on the grounds of our White House. May the rains turn the area of "The Cockfight" into mud and destroy every steel timber erected to pay homage to a false, lying figure, trump. You've so aptly described the myriad of happenings today, Mary, and now it's Mother Nature's turn. Have at it, Mother!
I just signed and commented about the "Triumphal Arch" on the National Parks page. The site is open to comments until the end of Monday the 15th.
Praying to the Universe for bugs and thunderstorms tonight in DC.
lightning and thunder would be ok, too
Ooh, yes. Bugs, please. Big ones, and lots of 'em.
The whole trump era will need to be covered in a tarp.
"Reality declines to attend." But does it?

Couple of things:
"The only thing missing is a QR code projected onto the Washington Monument."
Mary, please don't give him ideas...
"an effort to rewrite the nation’s history with a white-out pen."
Did you, perhaps, mean "rewrite the nation’s history with a White-IN pen?"
