Interesting to see what the Trump family thinks is great fun. We know about the burnt steaks, the mail order steaks, and even Kimberly shilling steaks, but this is on a completely different plane here. There isn’t any money to be made from this endeavor — unless Mohammad bin Salman or Kim Jong Un have a lot kinkier sense of humor than we know. Without further ado, this is Sunday afternoon hitting a few balls. No, not golf balls. Not pool balls.

What kind of a mind does this? The same kind that pays safari people to provide dehydrated, starved animals for Junior and Eric to shoot at point blank range and then they can pose like Bwana with a dead leopard. If this was actually a fair *game* and Eric and Junior were in the jungle, the leopards would be posing with their dead bodies. But that will never happen, because like all things Trump, life is just a photo op, another episode in a reality TV show.

What’s that you say? Aren’t there ordinances against such things? I don’t know exactly where this is taking place, but I can tell you that even the United States Marines don’t set off cannons lightly. One of my friends was a general in the Marines and they were going to honor his death with a 21-gun salute, but this was in Orange County, California and the County Commissioners objected to it on the basis of noise. I suppose the matter could have been appealed higher up but the family didn’t want to bother. Point being, I don’t know of any locale in the United States where you can just use a bowling ball as a projectile and risk damage to property, government or otherwise, and or harm to wildlife.

Maybe he is reenacting the Civil War, or planning to helm his own unit. Junior lives in Florida so maybe he can form the Deliverance Unit of the MAGA Army. He can be General Trump. General Trump is not one jot more insane than President Trump.

I wonder a couple of things:

  1. How loaded was Junior when he conceived this idea?
  2. Who helped him?
  3. How much MAGA money this cost?
  4. What he’s going to do for an encore.

Playing with explosives when under the influence is, generally speaking, a recipe for disaster. If nothing else, Junior might set a cannon off and not wear protective covering on his ears and deafen himself. Or, he might jostle the cannon and blow up that trailer that’s standing a few feet away. Or, he might start some kind of forest fire with this idiocy.

And like Kristi Noem, he thinks it’s in his best interests somehow to advertise this kind of behavior. I hope that American history records that at one point in time a political movement called MAGA stood for sociopathic deeds and unbelievable excess and then finally it just couldn’t sustain itself any longer because it was so fundamentally stupid. That is my wish, in any event.

    • If HE actually was loading the canon, instead of the guy that appears to own and actually fire the thing, a short load of powder would, indeed, arc that sixteen pound projectile into the kitchen counter on the inside of the camper, creating a better place to get fresh air and wind-blown rain on a regular basis … 🙂

  1. I hardly know where to begin. First of all junior, Mythbusters has done cannon bowling ball stuff ONLY they did things right. Got permits. A safe place. Observed meticulous safety precautions. YOU were just flat out irresponsible, stupid and DANGEROUS. As with a plain old gun, a handgun, rifle or shotgun you never shoot without knowing what’s beyond your target. That’s something even more true (a point Mythbusters made) when you’re experimenting.’

    What if the explosive charge had broken the bowling ball into pieces? So much for that trailer/RV! What, and even more importantly possibly WHO was on the other side of that hill. It’s clear your cannonball cleared it and you were thinking “oh shit” and tried to cover with speculation on it must have hit somewhere near the top of the ridge.

    It takes special paperwork for a civilian to own an artillery piece like that. I’m thinking ATF needs to pay that guy a visit. With formal notice his license to own that thing has been revoked. And tow it away.

  2. “make a Mormon cum.”? SRSLY? Any guy married to two 15 year olds does NOT need your plumber’s nightmare muzzleloader to get his jollies.

  3. I wonder if they bothered, since they lost sight of the ball, to find out if it landed on someone’s car, house or head. You’d think they would have learned about the concept of setting a trajectory before lighting the fuse. But that would require thinking skills that these bozos never had anyway.
