Special effects in movies opened up a world of magic many years ago. We’ve become accustomed to starship fights in outer space, people outracing volcanic eruptions in jeeps, the amazing colossal man ripping up the Vegas strip with his bare hands, you name it. Even the most primitive efforts were wondrous back in the day. How I loved the dinosaurs and flying saucers that Ray Harryhausen created and which sparked my imagination as a child. Now we have artificial intelligence, AI, or A1 if you’re the head of the Department of Education (and woefully uneducated, not to mention shockingly ignorant.) And that provides images, some of which we’ve already seen in our subsconscious minds and wished would be real. The next few clips fall in that category.

Oh, to watch Zelensky punch Trump. Zelensky would never do it. Trump is a fat, feeble old man and as much as anybody ever deserved to get knocked on his ass, Zelensky would not do it. But we can dream, right? And here’s another one.
This next one is not AI. The man is too stupid to know how to close a freaking umbrella. When did the rest of us learn that? Age six, maybe?
This isn’t AI either.
There you have it, America. The biggest laughingstock in the history of politics. If it just stayed comical and didn’t result in lost jobs, tanked 401(k)s, threats to the social safety net, education, health, and everything else you can think about, it would be okay. But this clown is an evil and dangerous one. And remember, a clown with a flamethrower still has a flamethrower.

Friends, thank you to those who have generously contributed. You are the wind beneath our wings. If you want to contribute a small amount, we can use it to defray operating expenses. This is a hard business to be in since November 5. A lot of people are depressed and tuned out. Thank you. Ursula
What’s the name of the cartoon we are now trapped in?
I got banned at DKos for posting a similar video of Zelenskyy punching 47 at the Oval Office.
El Salvador may be your next address.
