Totally Bizarre

Is now normal in DC

This country and our elected leadership have certainly had issues over the years that we have grappled with. But I always thought there was a level of serious statesmanship that existed in the many stately buildings around our Capital City. Real thought and debate mattered and there was at least some decorum. Even during Watergate. All of that seems to be gone.

This version above of Trumps AI image has cropped out the young woman in a bikini on the right. No one seems to know who she is. Apparently Trump thinks hot tub parties in front of the Lincoln Memorial are cool. The only splashing around in the historic reflecting pool that I found humorous was Forest Gump going after Jenny, just after he gets hugged by Abbie Hoffman at a Peace rally. Fictional “reality” we can live with and enjoy.

The images now coming out of DC go from sea shell messages by the former FBI Director

To this one that was copied by someone in very large graffiti numbers in the reflecting pool.

Which was quickly covered up…and now the hunt is on for the nighttime artist.

To the Muppets who have gotten in on the act. Are Burt, Ernie and Big Bird going to be arrested ? I think Jim Henson would probably approve.

It all really feels like pages from Hunter Thompson in Rolling Stone back in the 70’s.

Gonzo journalist Hunter was portrayed by Johnny Depp in a gonzo film. I may have to re-watch this one and see how weird it feels now….

Mad Magazine did not know how right they had it in 1971.

When the material coming from the mid night tweets is already bizzaro…how do you make decent thoughtful satire out of it ? Way over the top is the new normal in DC.

Peace y’all.
