Black to The Future Is A Blast From The Past: Tonight's Drinking Game
Tonight Agent Orange Will Address a Joint Session...I Hope It's Good Weed 'Cause You M.F.'s Will Need It
Black To The Future
One year ago, I wrote a fictitious piece titled “The State of The Union 2025” right after Joe Biden’s State of The Union Address. Understand that when that article was published there had been no presidential debate between Biden and Trump; that would not take place for another quarter of a year. Biden was destined to reelection and Kamala Harris had no inkling of running for president. In fact, it wasn’t the slightest twinkle in her eye (either of them), or anybody else’s.
When I wrote the piece, I received the normal ridicule and insults, but I knew Trump would be president…again. Just as I knew he would be elected the first time. It is written and, thusly, a matter of historical record. Ergo, it is important to understand the prescience of the article. I am not bragging for there is nothing to brag about given the sorry state of affairs, but I am not complaining either because the trajectory of the United States (The “US”) has been leading to Trump for four centuries. Only a complete dullard could not see it coming, or the hopelessly delusional.
Since a State of The Union Address is not afforded a “first term” president, Trump will deliver its doppelganger in the form of a Joint Session of Congress Address. Other than Grover Cleveland, Trump is the only other president who has a “first term” as a lame duck. Uh, maybe; because this shit just keeps getting weirder and weirder and it would not surprise me, at all, to see Trump still president in 2029; whichever Trump it might be.
Therefore, I humbly submit to you that piece written a year ago and proffer you a drinking game to accompany. Peruse the piece and for each item I predicted, have a snort (as in drink). Better make sure I clarify that one. Now, like horeshoes and hand grenades, “close” counts. So, for instance, when I mentioned Elon Musk(rat) being head of the SEC, that counts (who in hell could have thought of DOGE). Point being, I not only predicted Trump’s presidency, I predicted the Rat being an integral part of his administration. In fact, his Ku Klux Kabinet is full of rats.
Have fun, if you can, and tell me how we did, if you aren’t too damned drunk to do so.
The State of The Union 2025
It’s been six days since the 46th president of the United States gave the hallowed State of the Union Address. Some applauded the speech, some condemned it. Some laughed, and some wept (I did both, only because the former caused the latter). Some tuned in, some tuned out. Personally, I almost made it to the end and tho…
Being a white boomer has its advantages: all I heard was "no taxes on social security," and all I saw was Dimmercranks holding their "I'm wid Stoopit" signs, while Trump made them effectively boo little kids with brain cancer and peace talks. Classic, classic shit.
As for the number of correct predictions in the linked piece, I was educated down south. Thanks to unusually close family ties, I can count to 12, 24 when barefoot: doubt that would have covered it, even if I'd had the gumption to try. I don't suppose it would be fair of me to note that prophesying stupefying banality in American politics is not exactly some Jesus-level insight, my dear, now would it?
