President Beyond Life

Fake It Forever




Some paranoid people have feared The Donald becoming POTUSFL (President Of The United States For Life).  Well, as The Donald once said, "If you are going to think, think BIG."  Why not POTUSF (President Of The United States Forever)?  Other than the fact that neither POTUSFL nor POTUSF make a very pronounceable acronyms, the concept of president for life (a.k.a., king, emperor, chairman, premier, god, 'who's your daddy') has been around for a long time and often used.  A very contemporary 'who's your daddy' version is Vladimir Putin's hopping between president and prime minister while having the laws changed, moving power to follow him.  China's Xi Jinping has a similar thing going on, coronavirus notwithstanding.

Of course, The Donald would not want to merely follow the example of other leaders-for-life.  Besides, at 73, 'for life' would definitely not be long enough.  Therefore, he may, as a great artist, steal the idea from Whitney (see above) who stole from Tupac (see below) and be president 'forever-and-ever' stealing from Herman's Hermits. La la la

This is not BIG; it is HUGE.  This offers The Donald the power to be everywhere, always, and look amazing at the same time.  Instead of a 73-year-old version, he could be 21 again with the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger (at age 21).  It sounds cRaZY, but what about this POTUS has reminded you of the status quo?

As entertaining and far-fetched as POTUSF might seem, it will eventually happen in some, more sophisticated form.  The electorate's need for entertainment makes that certain.

Setting the Stage

  Unusual Suspects Americans face seemingly insurmountable problems and need someone to blame. We have mastered the world.   America is the most prosperous and powerful country on Earth, and we tend to take credit for that success.   However, we cannot do everything and some things we do have unintended side effects that we cannot control.   For example, we do not treat everyone equally.   While many things point to why, the greater truth is we have not figured out how to make that workable.   We have created a great deal but consumed a great deal to do so.   This has created problems such as pollution, which we have struggled for decades to ameliorate with minimal success.   We invest trillions in our military but cannot stop wars, and we provide others with weapons to fight.   We reached the top but now watch others climb past us.   We are the wealthiest country with the highest debt and have no plan to settle it....

Political Football

Alabama Plays the Trump Card to Defeat Georgia Candidate Trump wearing Georgia Red with Crimson Tide supporters The only thing more divisive than this year's election would probably be the Alabama/Georgia game.  While everybody in the stadium was probably as red as blood, the shades made all the difference.  Mr. Trump sat with the Alabama Tide because one of his Mar  Largo members offered an invite that probably included a campaign contribution.  His support was widely noticed in the Tuscaloosa stadium, much to the chagrin of the Georgia fans, who watched as the Tide kept the Bulldogs from reaching the winning goal in the final minutes while tolerating the constant chant 'Eat Them Dawgs' from Tide fans, who were referring to the rumors of Haitians eating neighbors' pets in  Springfield, Ohio, not the Bulldogs.  Mr. Trump got caught between high Tide and many potential Georgia voters.  It was more entertaining than the halftime show.

October Surprise

 Welcome Back This has been a difficult year for quality entertainment in the 2024 election cycle.  While there have been countless sideshows and outrageous actions, the mood of the audience has turned dark.  One major candidate bowing out due to senescence and another almost assassinated have dulled the audience's senses.  The race is almost a dead heat in more way than one.  What could move the needle in this dark race? The October Surprise Of course, there have been many of these in our history.  It must be the Halloween spirit.  To name a few - The Founding of the U.S. Navy (1775), The Great Hurricane of 1780, The Battle of Yorktown (1781), The Second Battle of Bull Run (1863), Hayward California Earthquake (1968), The Chicago Fire (1871), The Stock Market Crash (1929), The Launch of Sputnik (1957), The Cuban Missile Crisis (1962), Civil Rights Act of 1964 Enforced, The Pentagon Papers – Completion of Study (1969), "The October Surprise" of the 198...
