(Full title: “Proposed Iran War Memorial Wall With Off-Ramp Bouquet”)
There’s something stiffening out there right now, but it sure as hell isn’t Pete’s “resolve”, if you know what I’m sayin’.
Along with this particular concept, I’m thinking of something a bit broader in scope, perhaps with the Wall as the centerpiece of a Donald J. Trump Iran War Memorial Park, with the Wall as a centerpiece overlooking a large Reflecting Pool in the shape of the Strait Of Hormuz and, in the Pool – in the spirit of JFK’s Eternal Flame – an Eternal Algae Bloom in loving memory of the 18 (at the moment) brave troops who laid down their lives for Democracy™ or affordability or some shit.
Then, maybe, on the other side of the Reflecting Pool, a small marble amphitheater with a UFC cage for celebratory matches on Veterans’ Day, Fourth Of July, Memorial Day…?

As I post this, we’re still waiting to hear if the Nazi tattoo-wearing, woman-harassing, domestic violence-committing ex-Abu Ghraib prison guard DNC Senatorial candidate is going to stay in the race, or if the DNC will have to drag Susan Collins out of her oxygen tent.
More sexual harassment and abuse revelations about a politician who guarded Abu Ghraib and already had a history of harassment and domestic violence?
Well-lll, shut my mouth.

When I first peeped that aerial shot on Reuters, it wouldn’t leave my mind.
On the one hand, it’s another bucket of your garden-variety shallow-ass Liberal pearl-clutching at seeing the Evil Orange Man giving the job of restoring the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to a company which contributed heavily to his campaign and which promptly turned the project into a National Lampoon movie.
On the other hand, though – the part that wouldn’t leave me after seeing that Reuters foto – on a much deeper level than simply Trump doing his usual nouveau-riche alcoholic country-club vulgarian shit, it was much more symbolic of an empire in rapid decline, possibly even already at the point where the Emperor is appointing his horse to the Senate. It doesn’t so much say something about Trump specifically as it does about American society, culture and institutions in general.

I didn’t even bother to contain my glee as I read the news of US and Israeli stocks of missiles and drones dwindling to rock-bottom levels as the US and Israel pissed it away on decoys, empty buildings and other bum targets in Iran this past March and April.
Still, I didn’t think the US had lost quite that much. I was genuinely surprised – and delighted – to see the front page of the Washington Times the other day. One third gone, no active production lines running, no organized plans to fund more production… oh, holy shit, I can’t pretend I’m not enjoying this. I’m no expert on logistics, engineering, supply chains or any of that other cool shit, but I still feel pretty sure that the next run of Reaper drones will involve rubber bands and balsa.
I hear the UFC matches were pretty good, though.
