What if there's Bad Weather on Trump's Birthday?

You may have heard of the Wayback Machine on the internet. 

Today I'm previewing the Wayforward Machine to see what could happen on Trump's Birthday bash featuring a UFC cage match on the White House Lawn.

Saturday.

Weather news, "The East Coast from Maine to Florida is bracing for a significant weather system and Washington DC residents are being warned to stay indoors Sunday."

Sunday. 

10 a.m. NBC News report; Golf ball sized hail is coming down before the first UFC fight gets underway. The president keeps looking up in the sky as his handlers desperately try to escort him away from the makeshift arena to find shelter.

Combined with the 100-degree heat and excessive humidity the sudden storm hit with a ferocity that hurled the billionaires in special seating across the makeshift cage like vultures caught in a hurricane."

11 a.m.

ABC is reporting massive damage to the UFC structure after the arena roof was carried away in 90 mph winds and was last seen heading for Mar-a-Lago.

11:30 a.m.

CBS reports that the once in a hundred-year storm is already causing flooding and the massive hole on the east side of the White House is rapidly filling up. Construction workers who weren't given the day off from work on Trump's ballroom were seen wearing life jackets and franticly trying to escape a watery grave.

Noon.

NBC is warning Washington DC motorists to avoid driving anywhere near the White House as a state of emergency has been declared by authorities. The flooded roads are also carrying bits and pieces of debris from the makeshift arena site. Hundreds of Chinese-made metal folding chairs are thrashing in the turbulent waters. Audience members can also be seen clinking to the chairs for dear life.

1:00 p.m.

Breaking News from Reuters; An angry President Trump has refused to let his big birthday bash go by without witnessing some fights. He's gathered his cabinet members in the Capitol Building rotunda and is making them fight each other on a makeshift stage provided by the Republican Party. More to come in the evening news.

5:00 pm.

UPI sources are reporting harrowing stories of survival as thousands of MAGAnuts lie about how brave they were hanging onto the arena roof enroute to Mar-a-Lago and grasping onto flapping metal chairs hurdling down Pennsylvania Avenue.

6:00 p.m.

The Associated Press is confirming a report that there are men in white suits posted outside of President Trump's bedroom. After trying to bribe him to come out a SWAT team rammed the door in and caught Trump eating the Epstein files.

As it Stands, I hope you enjoyed this satirical hit job as much as I enjoyed writing it.

MAGA Takes on Mr. Potato Head Cognitive Test

Cognitive tests are the latest rage in MAGA world.

Trump's cult, inspired by his PERFECT cognitive record, are seeking out ways to tease their tiny brains to prove they're not stupid. Most failed the new test but still claim their stable geniuses.

This new cognitive test, which was taken by all of Trump's cabinet members, is the Mr. Potato Head Challenge. No. It's a real thing. MAGA minions want to see how fast they can assemble Mr. Potato Head. 

The inspiration for this test comes from a Singapore teenager, Caleb Seah, who actually set a Guiness World Record for putting Mr. Potato Head together in 4.63 seconds.

In a case of life kind of imitating art Trump adopted this challenge exclusively for members of his regime who hold positions of power.

The competitors sat in a tight circle around the resolute desk tensely holding their raw potatoes waiting for the signal to start the time clock. 

Robert F. Kennedy was immediately eliminated when he ate his potato before the start signal.    

Spectators sat in awe as mad Markwayne Mullin mutilated his potato, growing increasingly angry when he couldn't put Mr. Potato Head's hat on.

A bug eyed Kash Patel was cursing out loud as he tried to figure out where all the parts of Mr. Potato Head should go. To no one's surprise he came in dead last in the test.

There were groans of disgust coming from the audience as J.D. Vance tried to bury his potato in the White House couch without assembling it.

A savage and highly competitive Pete Hegseth tried to make Mr. Potato Head stand at attention despite the fact he couldn't figure out where to put his legs.

Sean Duffy was warned about putting Mr. Potato Head in a MAGA clown car for extra credit. 

Judges disqualified Linda McMahon for not being able to read the rules for the test. 

A mothering Susie Wiles patiently helped Trump assemble his Mr. Potato Head. 

The remaining cabinet members continued to try and assemble their Mr. Potato Heads long after the test was concluded.

As it Stands, what do you think? Should the Trump team take regular cognitive tests like their beloved master? 

Trump's Fantasies Have Become America's Reality

Every night the president of the United States churns out his fantasies on a website for far-right lunatics like himself. 

It's his website, ironically called Truth Social, featuring bizarre AI slop that bears no resemblance to reality, and lurks in cyberspace like a crazed predator.

America's reality is that we have a malicious narcissist in the Oval Office and everyone is afraid of him. His constant lies throw the country (and world) into a chaos that only a madman with no guardrails could cause. 

Congress has been reduced to a cluster of cowards so afraid of Trump their willing to violate the Constitution and do whatever dear leader tells them to do to keep their jobs.

Americans are faced with daily depredations against the rule of law by a president so far advanced with dementia that he falls asleep in the middle of White House meetings. His words are slurred and he has trouble pronouncing names and places. His bruised hands are not from shaking hands with people. He has medical problems beyond being bat shit crazy.   

Despite the struggling economy Trump is busy putting his names on everything from airports to highways. 

He's currently in the process of building monuments to himself in Washington DC and some red states. His gilded age inspired ballroom is an ode to his royal fantasies. Construction of a triumphal Arch (the Arc de Trump) for a conquering hero; plans have been drawn up and are resting on the resolute desk with stacks of other fantasy projects.

In statements only a malicious narcissist would make Trump has made it clear that he owns the Supreme Court and judges throughout the nation. His distain for the Constitution is no secret, but lawmakers still bow down to his highness.

One of the First Felon's fantasies that really cracks me up is that everyone loves him! No. Really. He posts memes to that effect for the benefit of his cult followers. 

Another vomit-worthy fantasy of his is the claim to be a Man of Peace.

The wars that he's supposedly stopped increases every time he goes on a rant about how he should have gotten a Nobel Peace Prize for his peace-keeping efforts. The very idea that Trump promotes peace clashes with reality as we watch the Trump/Epstein war against Iran drag on.

Unfortunately, I suspect the worst is yet to come. It's not like Trump is going to suddenly recover whatever sense he ever had. Doctors will tell you that's not the way this works. He's going to get worse. You can bet on it. 

I'm waiting for the Kalshi Prediction Market website, which his drug addled son Don. Jr. who is a financial advisor there, to take wagers on daddy Trump being canonized by Pope Leo. 

As it Stands, it's Trump's alternate universe and thus far we've all been a captive audience.

Trump's Favorite Corrupt Tactic: 'Move Fast and Break Things'

Since Trump's daddy gave him a fortune to play with Trump has been breaking building laws with impunity. 

From using illegal immigrants (Polish citizens) to build Trump Tower, to going ahead with construction sites before they've been approved by the city and state, he's defied building laws from the start.

You might say it's his real brand. Act now and go to court later. When Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of cheating on real estate transactions and cooking the books, he tied the case up in the courts until he became president and made it go away.

That tactic of building first and facing consequences later recently surfaced when Trump started construction for his big, beautiful ballroom next to the White House this year.

Trump tore down the former East Wing before anyone could stop him and is busy going ahead with the construction of his gilded fantasy despite a court case against the illegal construction. 

His lawyer claimed it was too late to stop the construction because it's so far along. It's a feeble argument and Judge Millet rebuked Trump's lawyer Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Yaakov Roth.

"Let me ask you a straightforward question: that this court, the Supreme Court, no court could stop the building of this ballroom?" asked Millet.

"Yes," Roth replied. "The project is well on its way, with more than 3 million pounds of steel rebar now on site" he told Millet.

"If the government decided to move very quickly to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty there's nothing that can be done?" Millet asked Roth.

"I think that's right, yes," Roth replied, in a moment that sparked audible gasps in the courtroom.

Beyond a standing issue question, Roth argued that blocking the ballroom construction would pose a national security risk that outweighs the concerns raised by the plaintiffs.

That's right. It's a national security risk if Trump's billionaire buddies can't safely play in a gilded ballroom straight out of the corrupt 1920s.  

The Trump regime is asking the appellate judges to throw out a lower court judge's order halting the ballroom's construction after U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled in March that Trump has gone beyond his authority in building the ballroom.

The appeal was successful and the appellate panel allowed the construction to continue. Which brings us to the current court case to stop construction. The court appeared skeptical that Trump has the authority to build the ballroom in the first place.

Who knows how that will go? One of the judges is a Trump appointee so anything could happen.

As it Stands, Trump is basically a smash and grab guy - like a jewel thief - and he's got away with his corrupt tactics since daddy first put money into his tiny, bruised hands.

The White Trash House: 100 Porta-Potties on the White House Lawn Seems About Right

No one knows why 100 porta-potties sprung up on the South Lawn of the White House yesterday.

From what I read the long line of porta-potties are some sort of misunderstanding, or something. I suspect they arrived too early for Trump's UFC match. However, no one seems to want to take credit for their sudden appearance.

Here's what we know.

Trump is planning to have a violent spectacle on his June 14 birthday. It involves setting up a temporary arena on the White House lawn where UFC fighters will beat the snot out of each other in a display of savagery for the First Felon's amusement.

Organizers claim the performance will be a grand patriotic spectacle. The whole bizarre performance literally stinks. Think about the smell of 100 porta-potties lined up on the lawn near spectators. It's going to be ugly. Especially if it's a real hot day and the gnats are out in full force.

When the porta-potties started springing up like decaying mushrooms workers on the UFC stage were confused.

Political commentator Johnny Palmadessa documented the unexpected sight in an Instagram video. "It's metaphoric for anything because, you know, it's some sort of misunderstanding having 100 dumpies on the front lawn of the White House, and that makes sense. That adds up."

His followers quickly turned the portable toilets into a metaphor for the regime itself. 

Quotes: 

- "Nothing says classy like porta potties on the White House lawn. Here's hoping for steamy weather," one wag wrote.

- "Trump has turned the White House into the White Trash House," another viewer suggested.

- "But it is fitting for this shitty maladministration," another viewer summarized.

I agree with them all. Nothing says America is great like Fights on the lawn and porta-potties. Trump's birthday bash coincides with other Freedom 250 events put on by a core of election deniers and Trump minions.

To round out Donnie's Special Day millions of Americans across the nation will be protesting in a NO KINGS parade against him and his treasonous regime.

As for the early appearance of crappers no one will take credit for them. So, they stand silently near the giant hole being dug for a ballroom like MAGA sentinels waiting for Trump's birthday bash.

As it Stands, I'll be providing updates on the NO KINGS protest in future posts.

No American President Has Ever Done What Trump is Attempting to Do this Time

Welcome back. 

Today I'm going to discuss Trump's attempt to avoid being audited ever again by the IRS. His insane lawsuit also includes his family and companies never being audited again.

Wow!

What led to this MAGA-sized lawsuit? Trump's first step was to sue the IRS for $10 billion, alleging the IRS and the Treasury Department failed to safeguard his tax records after a former contractor, Charles Littlejohn, leaked his confidential tax returns to news outlets. Littlejohn also exposed nineteen thousand other Americans finances. 

Check out the following sleight of hand. Acting Attorney General, and Trump's personal lawyer Todd Blanche, files the lawsuit then - within 24 hours - he tells reporters that the lawsuit was going to be settled out of court. Smooth, eh? 

The real reason the original lawsuit was dropped was that it was unconstitutional. Even Trump acknowledged that it was unusual to be on both sides of a lawsuit.

Trump's second step in the corrupt settlement contains an unprecedented provision.

* Blanket Tax Immunity for past filings. The IRS is "forever barred and precluded" from pursuing, prosecuting, investigating, or prosecuting any outstanding or current claims, audits, or related reviews against Donald Trump, his family, his trusts, and his affiliated companies.

In May Mr. Smooth, Todd Blanche, announced that the Justice Department was setting up a $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" for Trumpies who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Then this happened.

On June 1st Blanche told lawmakers on the House Appropriations Committee that the Justice Department IS NOT moving forward with its $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund because it became a major obstacle to the GOP agenda in Congress.

That claim immediately came under fire when Congressman Grace Meng asked Blanche to put his commitment in writing. "Why do I need to put something in writing if I'm telling you what we're doing?" Blanche said. The answer to that was no one trusts Blanche's word.

Blanche's testimony came a day after the Justice Department said it will stop work on the fund following a district judges' temporary decision to block the establishment of the program.

Despite these apparent setbacks don't think for a moment Trump is going to give up establishing a slush fund for his supporters that easy. He told reporters that the fund was a "beautiful" thing and we'll just have to see what happens.

Alert! That means further assaults against our democracy are still on the table.

As it Stands, what concerns me is that I don't think we've seen the depth of his depravity yet. Even this latest attempt to make taxpayers give criminals money doesn't mean we've seen the worst of him. With over two years to go we're sure to see other examples of how low he'll go.

I'm Back! There's a Lot to Talk About - Pull Up a Chair

           How time flies when you're having fun.

I went on a blog break Sunday, April 19th, 2026, to build up positive vibes during a rough PTSD anniversary. Now I'm ready to join in on the fight against the current authoritarian regime being led by a lunatic smelling up the White House.

Current Questions

Is Trump going to get away with forming a slush fund for Jan. 6 rioters and other Trumpies seeking what would be taxpayer payouts for criminals? We're getting a missed message on this subject. Most Republicans are claiming the slush fund is a NO GO, but Trump is still talking about why there's a need for it.

For the record the Justice Department has cancelled plans to create a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund," according to an article in Time on June 3. I don't believe that for one moment. Just wait.

On that same day (June 3rd) Trump injected more uncertainty into whether the regime might try to revive the fund in the future. Trump told Time, "As far as I'm concerned the fund is a beautiful thing." There's currently a DOJ purge going on to vacate seditious conspiracy convictions of the Jan. 6 leaders and members of far-right groups and the DOJ removed hundreds of news releases related to the prosecutions from its website.

What is the real status of Trump's illegal war with Iran?

I'll put it this way, no one seems to know the answer. It depends on who you ask. According to Trump we won the war. The Iranian's disagree and have shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Despite a supposed cease fire, the two sides have been bombing each other nearly every day with no end in sight.

The House passed a largely symbolic war powers resolution over Republican leaders' objections that it would "weaken the president's hand" in negotiations. Even if the Senate agrees with the House, it's a waste of time and taxpayer dollars because Trump will simply veto it. Meanwhile we'll have to wait until Trump decides to wrap up the mess he started.

Meanwhile Israel and Lebanon signed up to a fresh U.S. brokered cease-fire to clear the path for negotiations toward a comprehensive peace and security agreement between the two countries. That truce didn't last six hours before both countries accused each other of violating the agreement.

As far as the U.S. vs Iran war I suggest taking out a coin and tossing it in the air while calling heads or tails.

Are Trump Loyalists Bill Pulte and Todd Blanche going to be confirmed by the Senate?

 Bill Pulte, the regimes chief housing regulator, has been appointed by Trump to temporally take over as national intelligence director after Tulsi Gabbard's departure. He has zero experience for the job. He'll keep his position as chief housing director where he has weaponized the department to go after Democrats mortgages in a fraudulent conspiracy.

If confirmed as intelligence director (and don't be surprised when Trump nominates him despite what he is saying right now) Pulte's prime mission will be to harass voters by posting his thugs in election places during the midterms. He easily ranks as one of the most corrupt lackeys under Trump's tiny pinkies. I suspect his confirmation will be chaotic and there's a chance he won't get the position. We'll see soon enough.

Todd Blanche has been kissing Trump's ass since he was his lawyer in criminal cases before getting reelected. He's been the leading Trump loyalist suppressing the Epstein files. He's lied under oath. He's currently serving as a go-between Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's co-conspirator and Trump. She was transferred to the Club Med of prisons and is getting favors none of the other prisoners are getting.

If this isn't an obvious sign of collusion, I don't know what else it could be. Trump's minions in the Senate will probably prevail in confirming him regardless of his corrupt dealings.

As it Stands, I want to thank all the readers who checked in and read my past posts with regularity while I was away. Peace out!

Remember When: Dec. 16, 2021 - As the Coup Spreads: House Freedom Caucus Plans to Infect State Legislators

Editor's Note: While I'm on break, I'm recycling past posts that I hope you find enlightening and entertaining.

They're coming.

And they're crazy.

The House Freedom Caucus is coming to a state or city near you soon.

Its membership is devoted to Trump and overthrowing our republic.

The House hate group was launched in 2015 because some of the craziest Republican members didn't think the party was conservative enough. You won't find their definition of conservative in any dictionary, however.

Simply put, the new conservative's rhetoric and tactics has been cemented in the last five years under Trump's direction.

Currently Mark Meadows - Trump's former chief of staff and one of the original assholes to form the caucus, is busy helping the group to expand into state legislatures.

Meadow's efforts come amid his battle with Congress over his active role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

The Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI), a D.C.-based nonprofit founded by former Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., whose leaders include Meadows and attorney Cleta Mitchell — who aided Trump's failed legal efforts to overturn the election — is funding the group's expansion to Georgia, where seven Republican state lawmakers announced their launch on Tuesday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

This effort in Georgia is just the tip of the iceberg. 

CPI announced in a press release that it will launch the "State Freedom Caucus Network" across the country and provide each state freedom caucus "with the tools and resources they need to mirror the success of the House Freedom caucus."

It's just another scary chapter of "As the coup spreads" in America's ongoing battle to preserve freedom.

As it Stands, as history shows us the so-called Freedom Caucus was the first step toward paving a way for Trump's reelection with lies and misinformation.

Remember When: Dec. 28, 2021 - Unfinished Business: Report Exposes Connection Between Trump Organization and Russian Alpha Bank

Editor's Note: While I'm on break, I'm recycling past posts that I hope you find enlightening and entertaining.

As the year grinds to an uneasy end, the ghost of Mueller's investigation in 2016 has emerged with bad news for Trump.

If you recall, in Trump's desperate waning days of office, he directed AG Barr to conduct one last fraudulent investigation by appointing John Durham to discredit intelligence agencies who were looking into the Trump Organization's ties with Alpha Bank, a major Russian bank with ties to Putin.

Durham came up with a bullshit story about a cybersecurity Teck expert who turned over information to the DOJ regarding the suspicious relationship of the two entities that was false. He charged the expert for spreading lies, and the case was forwarded to the courts.

That's not the end of the story, however.

You see AG Garland discovered Durham's scheme after investigating it further and put out a memo stating it was a legitimate investigation and needed to be pursued.

Ignoring the memo Durham churned up a 26- page report afterward featuring a fraudulent version of what Garland reported and released it to the press in October.

The defense team for the cybersecurity lawyer who was indicted in September by Durham asked a judge last week to set a trial date sooner than the prosecutor wants - while disclosing evidence recently turned over to them that contradicts the charge.

The newly disclosed evidence consists of records of two Justice Department interviews of the former F.B.I. official whom Mr. Sussmann (the cybersecurity lawyer) is accused of lying, each of which offers a different version of the key interaction than the version Durham came up with. That official is the prosecution's main witness.

The defense team for Sussmann have accused Durham of putting forward a misleading portray in his indictment by selectively excerpting fragments of their clients' emails, omitting portions that showed their clients enthusiastically supported the final analysis.

Sound familiar? It should. It's the same tactic AG Barr used when "releasing" Mueller's Russia Investigation results.

So, what did this bogus last shot by Trump cost taxpayers? Are you ready for this?

Durham's sham investigation into the Russia probe cost $3.8 million (so far). He spent $2,8 million on travel, salaries, benefits, IT services and litigative support from October 2020 through September 2021.

After the court settles the case - likely against Durham - the question remains. What is Garland going to do with this damning evidence of Trump's collusion with Russia?

As it Stands, Garland turned out to be a big disappointment and didn't pursue this case - and other criminal charges - until it was too late.

Remember When: Dec. 29, 2021 - Just What Does 'Normal' Mean Anyway?

Editor's Note: While I'm on break, I'm recycling past posts that I hope you find enlightening and entertaining.

I was talking with some friends and family the other day about normality.

The conversations went something like this.

"Remember when mass shootings weren't the norm?" 

"Nothing is normal anymore."

"Who can recall when it was normal for civilians to walk around without military flak jackets and assault weapons in public?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

What does normal mean?

According to Merriam-Webster the definition is: 

(As an adjective)

1. - Conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern

2. - Occurring naturally

3. - approximating the statistical average or norm

Normal as a Noun

1. - a form or state regarded as the norm: standard

2. - one that is normal

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've come to the conclusion that normal is a myth that we create that makes us feel safe or good about things we grew up with. 

Have you ever noticed how normal is often referenced to something in the past? 

Today normal is abnormal. We see and hear people every day who live in an alternative universe where Trump is still their president.

Normalcy is a mystery among scholars and scientists. 

Quote

Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

- Ellen Goodman

Quote

Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.

- Jodie Foster

Quote

Maybe your weird is my normal. Who's to say?

- Nicki Minaj

As it Stands, I don't believe in normalcy - it's a social construct made up to keep people in line.

Remember When: Dec. 22, 2020 - People are Getting Numb as the Grim Reaper Walks Among Us

Editor's Note: While I'm on break, I'm recycling past posts that I hope you find enlightening and entertaining.

I saw it in Vietnam.

People who treated thousands of deaths like an ordinary occurrence, reducing all the pain and suffering into a military data bank to study.

Now, in the face of the biggest mass casualty event in American history, COVID-19 stalks the streets, yet many people ignore the virulent virus and try to go on like nothing is happening.

Despite warnings from the CDC, people are still making holiday plans, ignoring face masks, or debating how seriously to take the virus, or whether it's all a hoax.

How to explain this? 

I just don't get it. 

Psychologists who have studied genocides and mass disasters claim something happens to the brain when fatalities reach high numbers.

What happens, according to experts, is that the deaths have been hidden from sight, even from family and friends. 

The causalities become a mountain of corpses and people find it hard to focus on individual bodies.

As we track the virus's progress in daily bar graphs people begin to dehumanize the victims in apparent apathy.

Another explanation for ignoring the Grim Reaper; instead of a single discrete event - like the twin towers collapsing on Sept. 11, 2001, the pandemic has unfolded as an invisible, slow creeping, chronic hazard.

Over time, our brains gradually tune out the danger. 

This is a time when empathy is crucial to helping others cope with the challenges from COVID-19 and a crippled economy. 

All Americans have a duty to recognize science if they want to save our society, our friends, and family. Let's not pave the way for the Grim Reaper any longer.

As it Stands, I still remember all the people who ignored vaccines and face masks who died because of their ignorance. It was a sad chapter in American history.
