Ass Clown Special Award

I know I've already posted today for Monday Mountains, but the news has inspired me to present another out-of-cycle Ass Clown Award ... this time, the first-ever special award presented for the second time to the same recipient in the same year.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, it is with a bewildered shake of the head and a growing sense of dread that I present this

Ass Clown Special Award

(First Poison Ivy Cluster)

to

The Arc de Trump

In the latest bizarre twist to the story of The Triumphal Arch No One But You-Know-Who Wants, Der Furor issued this ludicrous "Truth Social" post -

So, consider this: against which enemy would a "triumphal arch" bristling with large numbers of drones and snipers and stocked with large quantities of stored sniper ammunition defend? If you guessed "those opposed to Der Furor's increasingly crazy and dictatorial rule," you win.

There is no conceivable reason why the "U.S. Military" would "strong(ly) request" a vast fortress in the middle of a traffic circle between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. There are numerous military facilities already in DC and its immediate area, including The Pentagon (less than half a mile away!), Fort McNair, Fort Myer, Bolling and Andrews Air Force Bases, the Marine Barracks at 8th and I streets in southeast DC, and the Washington Navy Yard. 

There's only one reason for the "triumphal arch" to exist at all - Der Furor's vanity - and no reason whatsoever for it to exist as a fortified eyesore other than to address Der Furor's fear of the American  people he pretends to lead.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, we present this Ass Clown Special Award, First Poison Ivy Cluster, to The Arc De Trump.

Nothing else needs to be said.

Have a good day. Vote the bums out. More thoughts coming.
