Anyway, the indictments and the excitements promise a busy political season ahead. We can probably expect, in the bread and circuses ahead:

* Putin dragged through the streets of Moscow in March 2024; a new Yeltsin rises from the rank ashes. Biden will turn to Xi (by way of TV cameras), "Mr Xi, tear down that wall."

* RFK regains his voice, but loses his charisma; and has a heart attack, after winning in California on nomination night, when someone yells "Duck!" And someone else screams, "Not another one!"

* An ever-emboldened Trump gets indicted for the 16th time, and his CNN polls soar after he promises to burn Atlanta to the ground. Kemp must pay.

* Biden will turn out to have let the war in Ukraine happen to protect his "interests" there and his son's Burisma doings will be overshadowed by the emergence of Cofer Black as a key player in the planning.

* Obama will be pummeled by spitballs shot from a paper drone, manufactured by "our" special friends from Australia, them finally getting around to responding to O's "in the trenches with each" comment; there'll be a gleeful reaction shot from the Jonas brothers, who disbanded after O's threat to drone them, rather than repeat what they felt about his daughters.

* In a surprise move, Hillary will throw her hat into the ring and win the Demo nom and lose to Desantis in November and martial law will be declared, and Kissinger, the former head of the 9/11 Commission (for a few days), will be remembered for his Chile quote about not letting the people decide, and he will be cloned to save realpolitiks, and we all fall down.

* Ed Snowden will re-emerge on Substack. And then be arrested by the FBI in Moscow and dragged in chains back to the Imperium for a Caligula-like ending.

* Julian Assange will receive 9600 years in prison for doing the MSM's job. Stella vows to stand by him. Turd Blossom will offer to marry her.

* America will see an attempted military coup, but will break out into a massive dysfunctional Civil War, during which folks will find that those 450 millions guns they have sure came in handy.

* The diabolical Chinese will assume the hegemony and the privileged position of controlling the global reserve currency operations. They will demand that North America be returned to the Chinese who crossed the Bering Strait and ruled there as Ind'gens before the blankets and whiskey ruined everything.

Yeah, it's bread and circuses for the juvenile; carnivalesque displays -- why should the LGBTQA+'s have all the fun? Let's all come out of the closet of lost selves. Tim to read Camus: Essai sur l'absurde. It'll be like it's 1999, as they say, all over again, and the AIs were about to take over; everybody's abbie hoffman diving off the balcony at wall street into the mosh pit below where the pork snorkelers are busy feeding their frenzy and the pentagon will be revealed to be a UFO that levitates its own damn self and takes off, and leaves behind a more ideal spot the Nats to move their stadium to, and Jesus will return from rehab in Odyssey House, and....
