took the country hostage so he could run a con.

And then one day his name popped up in some files...

No one could save him, not even Susie Wiles.

Epstein files, that is, pedophiles, traffickers.

Well, the first thing you know ol' Don starts a war,

kinfolk said, "yay, we can rip off more!"

Said, "our killer drones are gonna make the news!..

Just keep on yappin', Daddy, keep 'em all off guard-

and have a little snooze while they wrestle in the yard."

Dream of reflecting pools, triumphal arches...

Actually, nothing quite so ‘glamorous’. They are providing one porta-potty for every 300 expected (hoped for) attendees. That could get interesting.

Cut the classist stuff. There's a lot that sounds like contempt for poor people in the comments. Tacky is the gold bordello oval office. A sofa on the porch is making do. Pickups may die in the yard with no money to fix. I hate the trashy white house, too, but hillbillies aren't the problem.

Sorry if this comment lands wrong. I don't mean to offend, just to inspire a little reflection.

Listen -- I was born and reared ( 1944 - 1962) in a little crossroads cotton picking town in deep South Mississippi. I know white trash when I see it. I mean, I'm like James Carville -- I have a PhD in WhiteTrashOlogy -- some of my favorite cousins are white trash and they all vote for Democrats. I've been in West Virgina trailer parks with more class, more education, better grammar, and with much nicer people than this crowd of thugs, pot heads, and Trumps.

swimming pool having a Wesson oil wrestling match. How about a demolition derby or
maybe add some buffed up Adonis types oiled up and in tight tights doing Greco-Roman
wrestling; the winner gets to stand before his Emperor and tell his SIR story with tears in
his eyes.
I think I am tuning out this farcical $hitshow and going with local festivities with people I know.

They'll be percolating in the 90 degree heat and should be pretty ripe by the start of events!
LOL - I'm trying to envision all those invited attendees (125,000 of them!) wearing their "Sunday best" and navigating the mess.
