Trump says our navy has Venezuela "surrounded" -- problem, uh, it's not an island

And remember fun seekers, Friday is "E" day -- the day the DOJ is legally obligated to "release" the Epstein files! This will likely be a farce on high.

I will not be watching Trump's speech live. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to hear the laughing from anybody who is foolish enough to watch it even miles away. I wonder what the broadcast networks will do if he rambles on for hours. There may be a surprise "network connectivity" problem that knocks him off the air.

I've got it. The #YouTube Academy Awards could be hosted by a humanoid robot AI, since by then most of the actors will be fighting against AI replicas of themselves anyway! I wonder how YouTube will handle ads, since Premium subs aren't supposed to see any.

An enthusiastic observer of YouTube buying the exclusive rights to air the Oscars from 2029 (just after the 100th anniversary) to 2033, was quoted as saying this is so great, because you could have a six hour ceremony hosted by Mr. Beast!

You don't need a crystal ball to know that Trump's speech tonight is going to be a historically notable train wreck.
