First the class is going to gather at the shore of Lake Michigan and observe Zer0 walking across the lake.

The White House should have had some sort of a media event this year of the pandemic.


It would be nice is some big declas or data dump would come out right before the One’s Show and poop in the punchbowl . . .

Hey a guy can dream.

The fun will be when no one bothers to watch. I conjecture this is a test to see how much draw BO retains.

Lebron? Might he be involved in the NBA restart at that time. They just gave the green light to individual supervised practices so the ball is rolling for that. Maybe he’ll send a video saying buck up kiddos.

I understand the main part of the speech has already been leaked. It says:

“BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP ME!”


I wish queen Xerxes would just shut up and enjoy retirement.

A “Who are these nobodies” rapper festival and “praise worship” of obiwonkenyobi. The designer of the US Stasi state of secret surveillance...of primarily anti-obamaumao Americans who do not support his Marxist gibsmedat concept of the the “fundamental change” of the USA to a non-Constitutional non-Republic that is pure globalist Socialist/Marxist.

The “major” networks carry this so that someone-— “please,anyone— all you Ricans all you homos all you “minorities” who still have not gotten their “rights” but live on OUR tax money”-— please, watch... and vote for the Rapist or any other bizarre sex pervo we put up for a candidate. Such is the nature of the former democrat party.

Bye Bye Miss American Pie. Blacks, Whites and Latinos who have (and had) a future will NOT be voting for democrats.
