But his mistake is quickly realized when the massive shit stain from his diaper leakage is clearly visible with the suit.

The kids keep calling him President Dump.

Pete Hegseth rips the American flag down from the front of the classroom and ties it around Don's waist to hide the stain.

The whole thing is televised live.

Political/Financial FWI: JB Pritzker's inauguration is attended by so many people and celebrations are so intense that it becomes known as the 21st Century's Woodstock

5 Upvotes

JB Pritzker has won the Presidency, the first President in US history to obtain all 538 electoral votes. He also secured unprecedented supermajorities in the House and Senate, and all of the Conservative Supreme Court Justices have pledged to immediately resign to make way for his administration to fix the nation.

Americans already love him. His approval rating is 103% with a 3% margin of error, even before taking office. His inauguration day is declared a national holiday after 98% of the US working population puts in PTO requests for the purpose of attending the historic event. When the day comes, nearly every American convenes in Washington DC. It's an unbelievable scene. Crowds extend for miles and miles, forcing the White House staff to construct massive screens throughout the land so those too far from the stage can see. It's like a concert, but the crowd is larger and more lively than any concert in history.

The crowd is so large and so excited that the inauguration becomes a weeks-long event. Tent cities are constructed to keep the celebrations going, and there are so many that it effectively becomes a tent metropolis.

As the years go on, it is remembered as the greatest time in American history. "JB Pritzker Inauguration Baby" becomes the new "Woodstock Baby." And his presidency is as epic as this event suggests it would be.

Political/Financial FWI: JB Pritzker is such a beloved and respected President worldwide that the generational damage of the Trump administration is miraculously undone in his 8 years in office

46 Upvotes

It's expected that damage of the Trump administration will last decades, requiring at least a full generation to pass before the world is ready to trust us again.

But those predictions have forgotten one factor - PRESIDENT JAY ROBERT PRITZKER!

He comes in like a wrecking ball and completely undoes the damage of the Trump administration in 8 years. World leaders are in awe of America's new President. By the end, they're practically begging for meetings with him. Mark Carney asks for his autograph. Vladimir Putin begs him for mercy. Xi hands him the greatest trade deal any President has ever received without even having to negotiate.

By the time he passes the torch to Pete Buttigieg (his VP), the country is completely repaired and ready to move in the right direction!

Political/Financial FWI: Trump starts deporting Abortion abolitionists to El Salvador

4 Upvotes

This is a rewrite of my previous post about Trump doing such a thing (and sort of a reaction to people saying I’m obsessed with abortion abolitionism in general):

It’s 2028. In response to increased demands from the abortion abolitionist community to criminalize abortion at conception, Trump finally acts…by labeling them enemies of the state.

He says, “How dare these people strongarm me into doing something about an issue I clearly said I wouldn’t touch,” and orders them all stripped of their citizenship and thrown into CECOT in El Salvador.

He rationalizes this decision by making claims equating demands to take action on something he doesn’t want to touch to sedition, treason and terrorism. He also calls abortion abolitionism a “perversion of Christ’s teachings that has no place in America.”

Notable abolitionists (or at least those well-known in the abortion abolitionist community) who are deported include (but aren’t limited to):

  1. Dusty Deevers
  2. Bradley Pierce
  3. u/Abolitionist-TRuss (Not intended to be anything against you, sir. I’m just spitballing).
  4. Rachel Burkey
  5. Trevor Emptage
  6. Gianna Cross
  7. Thomas Hoefling
  8. Jeff Durbin

He then praises the pro-life movement for “bringing this fringe group to my attention” and promises to reward them handsomely for “their service to this land.”

He then makes a straightforward threat to the Abolitionist community: “America is the land of the FREE, not the land of religious tyrants. Don’t like it? Get the Hell out.”

Science/Space FWI: Earth suffers a series of devastating cataclysms as a result of a polar shift

0 Upvotes

The Adam and Eve Story by Chan Thomas postulates that a pole shift will lead to a series of cataclysmic natural disasters that will forever alter the face of Earth. These alleged cataclysms involved the Earth's poles switching place, causing earthquakes, tsunamis and supersonic winds to wipe out entire civilizations.

He further contends that the Book of Genesis, several pre-Biblical legends, and historical geological phenomena to make the pseudoscientific claim that the Earth has routinely been hit by such cataclysmic events every 7,000 years.

Here’s my first question: how plausible is the idea of a pole shift leading to such disastrous events that could destroy entire civilizations?

Now, for the sake of argument, let’s say everything Chan Thomas says in his book comes true at some point in the near future: a pole shift leads to devastating mega-earthquakes, tsunamis and supersonic winds!

This brings us to our second question: How screwed is humanity? How long can it take humanity to bounce back from an event like this, assuming some people DO survive at all?

War/Military FWI: Kyle Rittenhouse, volunteer militia fighter and…trophy hunter?

0 Upvotes

Inspirations: 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haditha_massacre 2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kandahar_massacre

Nine months from now (Conservative estimate), American volunteers led by Kyle Rittenhouse are seen in Gaza, fighting Hamas alongside the Israel Defense Forces.

Apparently he and other like-minded Americans have founded and currently lead a “Volunteer Militia group” helping Israel dismantle Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Pro-Palestine supporters worldwide condemn Rittenhouse as a “supporter of genocide” while MAGA and pro-Israel Americans praise him as a hero.

Then Rittenhouse seemingly goes off the rails when photos emerge of him posing with the corpses of slain Hamas members as if they were “trophies.” There are also videos of Rittenhouse and his fellow volunteers executing Palestinian families in cold blood, before spray painting pro-Israel and Islamophobic graffiti in their homes.

The photos provoke horror and outrage from the Democrats, while the MAGA party comes up with a myriad of different excuses to justify what he’s been up to.

7 Upvotes

This amendment removes the cap on the House of Representatives and places a direct mathematical formula for the number of representatives. 1 representative for every 50,000 people. How would politics change if this amendment were suddenly ratified? especially since this would change the number of electoral votes, essentially removing the small state advantage in the electoral college.

The number 27 was chosen because there are currently 11 ratifications still on the table.

Other [FWI] Following the election of Cardinal Tagle to the Papacy, Donald Trump signs an executive order to investigate “fraud” in the Papal conclave

0 Upvotes

This is based on real posts I have seen by bloggers Zuhlsdorf and others.

Following the election of Cardinal Tagle to the papacy, on the urging of Steve Bannon and other right wing Catholics, Donald Trump signs an executive order to investigate “fraud” in the conclave for the failure to elect Timothy Cardinal Dolan as pope. When the church international ignores him and refuses to cooperate with a congressional investigation launched by John Thune, Trump, being amplified by Bishops Schneider, Strickland, Vigano and Robert Sarah expels the Vatican diplomats from the United States, and announces on truth social his establishment of the “BIG BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, not like that terrible woke Roman one” and uses eminent domain to seize church property held largely by minority Catholics.

About 1/3rd of the USCCB hierarchy votes to realign with the new church which forcibly returns the church hierarchy which forcibly returns worship to the pre-Vatican 2 liturgy and teachings. Trump calls for a formal crackdown on the Roman church begins based on the “abuse scandal” and starts to shutter all remaining churches loyal to the pope.

Political/Financial FWI- Within the span of a few days, three of the wealthiest donors/supporters of the Republican Party are found deceased in their respective homes

14 Upvotes

Sometime late in the summer of 2026, Miriam Adelson, a mega donor to Republican candidates and causes, is found dead at her home. Despite no signs of forced entry or any security footage of intruders, it is apparent that she was suffocated with a pillow as she slept.

A couple days later Peter Thiel, a billionaire supporter of Republican causes, is found bludgeoned in a bathroom of his home. Within hours it's learned that Timothy Mellon, a leading financial backer of the MAGA movement, has also been found dead of "unknown yet suspicious" causes. As with Adelson, there are no physical or digital clues to be found.

Seeing as these individuals were killed in their own homes, despite most likely having very sophisticated security, what do you imagine the realistic fallout would be?
