A Fake Story About a Fake President At a Fake G-20 Summit

Here's a fake story about a fake President who calls well-researched news fake....  However, parts of this story are true, and none of the photos have been manipulated.

The President of the United is actually a puppet.  He is currently inhabited by Dominar Rygel XVI, who is the deposed ruler of the Hynerian empire, which has over 600 billion subjects.  The Dominar is known to be selfish, a coward, a liar, a thief, and an opportunist, and he loves to frell....
Recently, the fake President traveled to Hamburg, Germany, via London and Warsaw.  In London, a government ​limousine was waiting, parked at the bottom of the airplane steps.  The fake President wandered off in another direction, seemingly totally blind to the huge armored deluxe sedan that was sitting 6 feet away from him.
   In Warsaw, the pube-hair turbaned idiot was asked if he believed that Russia had interfered in the election that saw him made President.  He waffled - well, he said, he had been told that the governmental spy agencies, about 3 or 4 of them, had tried to say that.  Did he believe Russia had done it, he was again asked.  Well yes, Russia did it.  But, then it could have been Russia, or it could have been any other country or person.  (In America, we know that he famously believes it was a 400-pound man sitting on his bed in a basement - sounds like he knows something, eh?)  The leader of Poland had assured the fake President that he would be greeted by cheering crowds, and he was - by people bussed into Warsaw from all over the country, who were given a daily stipend, and who were supplied with both United States flags and a few Confederate battle flags.  (Disgusting.)
   Upon arrival in Hamburg for the G20 Summit, the man known for owning so many luxury hotels and golf courses around the world found out that he did not have a place to stay, to sleep, to eat, or to relieve himself.  The upper-echelon hotels and motels had all been booked for months.  So the Cheeto-head decided to blame the Obama White House staff, and then threw himself upon the mercy of the German people.

  Poor Angela Merkel!  She had to agree to put up the US entourage in the German Senate guest
​house, with the orange P using the US Consulate staff as his maids and service staff.  The disgrace of having the orange bobble-head stay in the government house was almost too much for Chancellor Merkel to bear....
     And, of course, everyone was waiting for the arrival of Vladimir Putin - especially the fake President.
   Once the P and his Slovenian Slut arrived at the villa, which was built in 1868, he kept saying, "Everything's going to be fine.  Look, they told me the interior is decorated in bright colors, mostly white, so it'll be like we're in DC."
   In the meantime, a great many protesters were gathering for the Summit in the city.  There were many dressed completely in black, covered with long black trench coats, black masks, and black hats.  More than 120 German police were injured by the protesters during the first 24 hours. But there were also more whimsical protesters in Hamburg, too.



   Unfortunately, other meetings and speeches with other members of the G20 governments had to handled first, and the fake Pres looked a little frustrated as time went on without him sighting his paramour.   With the P searching the room for, and finally seeing "his Vladi", Emmanuel Macron seemed quite amused....
Other scheduled meetings intervened, and the P wasn't happy to be told, jokingly, that his pube-hair turbaned hairstyle made others think of swallows' nests - which was making someone else feel hungry...  
​Then the men who like delicately flavored foods shared a laugh, with Cheeto-head on the outside of the joke, as 
usual.

After looking at the scheduled  meeting times, the fake P cuts Chancellor Merkel out of the crowd and tells her in no uncertain terms that he will need more time with Putin.  "Got that?  I need more time with Vladi!"   Merkel was
taken aback.
   
      ​Finally, the appointed time has arrived - the first, openly seen greeting:


And, before their private meeting, a pulse-taking handshake, mentally asking, "Are you as excited as I am?"
   After the meeting originally scheduled for 30 minutes, but lasting 136 minutes (2 hours and 16) - satisfaction is
clearly seen:

    And someone, who shall remain un-named, thought he got the best of it....
   A while later, the P honestly tells Prime Minister Trudeau and Chancellor Merkel that he truly hopes they'll be having a big steak with fries, lots of ketchup, and a chocolate cake for their big fancy supper.
They inform him it will be birds-nest soup, followed by sauerkraut and wienerschnitzel....
​and the fake President is, again, unhappy.​

    After the fancy supper, it was time to get into glad-rags and go to a concert - the P wasn't happy and neither was his purely-dressed baby-momma, because
they knew there would be a meeting between the P's two lovers - and Vladi doesn't like to be the shortest man.  (The orange queef removes his shoes with lifts when they're together.)
   The following morning, the fake President wanted to get word to his Vladi that, even though he spent the night in the same house with his woman, Vladi is the best!
Then the love-besotted "Commander in Chief" fell asleep while dreaming of Vladi's powerful hands while in a public meeting.  Prime Minister May had to awaken him after he farted and then snored loudly.   She, like Queen Victoria, was not amused.
 

    Having shat himself while farting and dreaming of Vladi, the orange P couldn't attend one of the major G20 meetings, having to go back to the German Senate house to shower and change his clothes.  So he sent his daughter, Ivanka Kushner, to sit in his place and represent the United States of America.  Chancellor Merkel looked at Ivanka, and felt ill herself, having to leave the meeting hastily.
      What was extremely amazing to me was seeing the daughter-that-Daddy-lusts-for ​sitting in the meeting for the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative ("We-Fi") that the G20 and International Monetary Fund have set up to assist women start companies in developing countries.  I was amazed because of the world's knowledge that the Ivanka pays her workers in the Far East less than $1 per week for 60 hours of work.
When Ivanka proudly stated that she paid top wages for excellent work in her companies, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde almost swallowed her tongue, and had a difficult time controlling her laughter.  Poor Ivanka didn't realize the joke was on her.

And so, the fake President of the United States continues to see himself as a huge raptor, a man of real instinctual decisions, one who will be remembered in American history as a true giant of statesmanship, an intellectual equal to Aristotle, and a man who is a venerable historian.

Those of us who see what he really is, who do not fall easily under his personal glamour and the thrall of his power, know that he is a puppet of Vladimir Putin and Russia.  And we hear Hilary Clinton calling him a puppet in a Presidential debate - and, then, somehow, hear Dominar Rygel XVI squeal loudly:

The End

Bits and Pieces

We have flocks of birds visiting the feeders, and Bertrando, the squirrel, is sprawled flat across the top of the telephone pole, soaking up the sun.  The skies are blue, with a few high clouds, but the view of the Flatirons, less than 1.5 miles away, is already hazy.  I changed my hair color yesterday - it is now a deep burgundy, with purple highlights.  I'll keep it this color through the summer, and then go back to being a grey, almost totally white, haired old lady again.
   It looks like a very interesting field building up for the Belmont Stakes on Saturday - Patch, the one-eyed horse; Tapwrit, Lookin At Lee, Epicharis, Irish War Cry, Hollywood Handsome, J Boys Echo, Senior Investment, and, possibly, Gormley.  The post position draw will be held Wednesday.
    One of my client's said she'd be staying at home this summer - she told me that in mid-May.  I dropped her off at the airport the third week of May, and picked her up the last week of May; then she flew out on 1 June, and back yesterday.  I'll take her to the airport on Friday, and she says she thinks she'll be back around the 24th of June...  Of course, it isn't "really" summer until June 21 - but I always think of summer as June, July, and August...  I'll have to see what happens in later months.  The client's gentleman friend, who is also a client, left on 31 May and returns 7 June, only to leave again on 9 June, with his lady friend.  I know he has to be in California in late June - but don't know when he'll return from the 9 June trip.  Gotta say that this job is always interesting, and never the same any day!  The first client's daughter, who is currently living with her Mom, will be going to a wedding the last weekend of June - and I have been asked to care for the family house and critters for that weekend - but the Mom said she'd be back then - but that's the weekend the gentleman leaves for California - I'll just have to wait and see what happens....
    Beatrice, my roommate, is African-American.  Her maternal grandmother was a Louisiana Creole named Annie DeClouette.  I'm working on her family tree, since we've received her DNA results from 23andMe.  I've been able to trace her DeClouette line back the Governor of Bienvienido, Cuba in the 1700s.  Her paternal line I have been able to trace back to a slave named Priest Trickles, who was born in South Carolina in 1820.  We're heading down to the African-American History Library in Denver today to do more research...
    Foals are popping out all over the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island.  Although we have lost two of the babies, 51 have been born so far (as of yesterday evening, anyway).  The latest was a chestnut pinto sired by Hoppy, and out of Carol's Little Freedom.  Thetis and Wild Thing's bay pinto colt (born May 14) is as bold as brass - and bugles challenges to the tour boats full of tourists.  He certainly give pony lovers' their money's worth!  I also double-checked with the intrepid photography couple, Steve and Darcy Cole, who told me that my buy-back filly, Surfer Princess, has apparently settled into Tornado Legacy's herd.  Her previous best buddy, Badabing, is now content with Ajax.
    My heart goes out to the people of England - first the vehicular attack outside of Parliament, then the suicide bombing outside the concert in Manchester two weeks ago, and now the vehicular attack on London Bridge with three men then going on a stabbing rampage.  Most of my ancestors were from England, and I love that small strong country dearly.  London is one of my favorite cities to visit and explore.  As the old World War signs stated, "Keep calm and carry on," is the country's mantra - and it's perfect in these times of escalating terrorism.
    And, again, the current President of the United States is a complete and total asshole.

Mens Modern Pentathlon

Well, the Mens Modern Pentathlon produced a few surprises yesterday.  David Svoboda, of the Czech Republic, took the Gold; Cao Zhongrong, of China, the Silver; and Adam Marosi, of Hungary, took the Bronze medal.  It was the first time anyone of  Asian ethnicity had achieved a medal in this competition.  The real fireworks were provided by Hwang Woojin, of Korea, during the equestrian phase - both on the horse, Shearwater Oscar, and on the ground.  As the pair entered the start box, Hwang kept shortening his reins, kept leaning forward, and kept his spurs in the horse's ribs.  Not a good idea.  The horse was getting very contrary signals from the rider, and acted out accordingly.  I would expect any horse to dump me if I had been riding the way he was!  He did, eventually, re-mount, and rode the course....  The only American male finished in the 32nd spot out of 36 competitors - and one of them did not finish the competition.  Today, the women compete, and I will be watching how they all ride.
   Lovey is laying up against my left forearm while I type this.  Nedi is sunning on the patio.  I need to remove all my overnight stuff from the car before I head back to Rosie and Remy's.  I did do something foolish yesterday - don't I always?  I was rounding up Shady, who didn't want to come inside, from the neighbor's back yard.  Keeping an eye on the black cat, I walked right into the side of a tree limb - took some skin off my scalp, bled quite a bit, and knocked myself flat my butt.  Luckily Shady paused at the time I fell, and I was able to get him back inside the house.  But this morning I still have a swelling the size and shape of a hot dog on the right side of my head....  Tsk, tsk...  And, I get to sleep in my own bed tonight and tomorrow night - oh, joy!
  I hope you enjoy tonight's Closing Ceremonies of the Olympics from London...  The next Olympics will be the Winter competition in Sochi, Russia.

London, the Arts, Ramsah, and Books

It's been 25 years since I was last in London - I don't particularly like crowds, but if I could see the Equestrian events at the Olympic Games this summer, I'd be there.  I did have to laugh as I read that, with over 237,000 people arriving at Heathrow Airport yesterday (most of them Olympic athletes), one bus load full of athletes got lost on its way to the Olympic village.  One has to wonder how much training the bus drivers have received - I know that cab drivers in London have to study for years to get licensed....
   This weekend, besides the Queen City Horse Show in Denver for Saddlebreds, Peruvian Paso Finos, Arabs, half-Arabs, Sport horses, Fresians, half-Fresians, Hackneys, etc., there is also an open air Arts Festival taking place in Boulder, on the Pearl Street Mall.  Artists from around the world, and several local talents, are participating on Saturday and Sunday - with items ranging from paintings and photography, to wood and metal sculpture, weaving, ceramics, glass, and jewelry.  At the moment, our forecast calls for very hot, very dry weather for the area - so if any one goes to either event, please stay hydrated, and avoid excessive over-heating.
   The past few nights, I have been in the back yard between the hours of 10 p.m. and midnight, and have been happy to see momma raccoon and 4 youngsters searching the yard for edibles.  Last night, I was trying to observe Ramsah when the cute critters appeared; and I had to walk forward and convince Momma  that Ramsah was not to be thought of as a potential meal.  Nancy has been managing to keep Ramsah's weight between 10.8 and 11.1 pounds; last night she was at 10.8, and then Ramsah had urinated under Nancy's bed - Nancy grabbed her, causing Ramsah to squeak, and then Nancy panicked, so I was called from my bed to check Ramsah, while in my nightgown.  Ramsah was OK - but she had either not quite finished urinating when Nancy had grabbed her, or she just finished relieving herself in the grass out back when Nancy let her go. In any event - Ramsah was OK, but had pee on her hind-end - whether from stepping in it, or being pulled through it by Nancy, or having laid in it, I don't know.  I do know that I am losing my patience with Nancy, and I don't want to do that - but recently, I can't even go to the bathroom without her phoning me, and if I don't answer immediately, she lets herself into the apartment, calling my name.  I am not happy with this development.  I am going to have to set some rules down and enforce them.
   Today is the day I don't walk Rosie and Remy - my kits have been running in and out of the back door since 6 a.m. - and the only thing I need to do today is return some library books and grab some new ones to read.  (I do have 5 new books on order, and they are in the process of being shipped here at the moment - but I still need something to occupy my mind....)
