80% chance of rain Sunday night in DC. Expect the birthday boy (the bestest one) to be charging ahead with war proclamations, full speed on his Trash Social in the wee hours of Monday morning, Good News Barbie at the ready with her printer. Also a 65% chance of gnat swarms. Ya can’t spin that.

So fitting.

I too "hate to question the wisdom..." because trump has none to question.

Boy howdy, I love it when you vent in your clever, yet sensible, way!

I truly appreciate that: “(I am NOT going to make a Stormy Daniels/half-cocked joke here so you will have to insert your own.)” states it is not a joke and simultaneously, most certainly, IS a joke.

Also, excellent writing as always. You bring both clarity and levity to the daily barrage of doom. Keep up the good work.

You nailed it sir. Accelerating through the red lights, indeed.

Ludacris, abysmal, absurd. What a shambles, what a mess.

Where is the exit ramp? How does this end?

It ends when we end it.

55 million Americans live within 200 miles of DC.

When? When do we go?

All we have to do is stand there. No signs,no costumes no shouts. Silent.

The world will know why we are there.

A guy named Coach here on Substack turned me onto the 55 million 200 miles from DC bit. The rest is my spitballing.

When is both my and Coach’s question.

When?

I love your idea. I live over 1000 miles from DC but I will be there with you. When do we go?

Thanks for the thought experiment. Ugh.

I hope more people come to appreciate you as a writer, and not only for your TV, film, comedian and NFL-9years-2rings achievements.

…and I write to you from six blocks north of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., where it’s 95 degrees outside, sun mixed with clouds, hazy and, not to get too meterologically technical, gross. If we wish, we’ll be able to view the light show for the UFC circus from our apartment building’s rooftop. I don’t think any of us will do that. We’re too busy bargaining with the spirits for rain this weekend. Lots and lots of rain. To cool off, of course. To cool off.

I hit like, but I really don't. It's like watching a slow motion accident and you're going to get caught up in it. Oh crap, we are caught up in it.

What was RFK’s bizarre behavior at DHS? Did I miss something?

It has thrown the entire Middle East into chaos. And imagine, Trump trying to get any Arab country to sign the Abraham Accords. What a joke.

Trump will have to deal with the power brokers of the Arab governments. I worry about the fanatical relationship Pakistan has with Iran, because Pakistan has nukes. All it takes for every thing to get really bad is a nation like Pakistan or North Korea setting off a few EMP's above the Iron Dome and then slide a couple nukes into Israel. I remember being a kid in 1967 and the newscasters talking about the war in Golan Heights. I see now so many years later Israel has re-occupied the Golan Heights.

Israel is no one's friend but Israel.

I'd also opine that Trump has been "army shopping" looking for broke and or developing countries that have somewhat functional ground troops and armies to send into Iran. I wonder how that's going for him?

Personally, I think JD Vance should lead the infantry and tanks into Iran personally mounted on a white steed whilst clad in a Crusader fighting outfit with sword and lance. THAT would impress me. I'd want to watch it in real time. I'd also pay big Pay per view

charges if Marco and Vance were in a last man standing cage match this Saturday. I was planning to attend the big UFW or whatever it is fight but once Milli Vanilli dropped out of the concert, that was it for me.

Heh, heh: “Insert.”

Excellent!

Big Bouncy Castle wouldve been a good move for Trump.
