Bass revealed the plan during a podcast appearance this week, saying MacArthur Park would serve as one of more than 100 community celebration sites during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

“We’ll have a massive watch party in MacArthur Park,” Bass said while describing her vision for the tournament.

And it melted and smeared into an effigy of Karen Bass’s face.

Cake out in the rain = great! :)

My take - I’ll be flying out to LA immediately to join the festivities. My goal is to sit on a bed of toxic needles and get mugged by the local miscreants as I lie dying from the toxins of the needles. While singing my best imitation of Donna Summer belting out MacArthur Park in her famous disco rendition.

She must not care if she steps in a pile of human feces or on a junky’s used needle. She must want to demonstrate her camaraderie with her favorite voters.
