Before 24C

During 24C

This chilling and sometimes rollicking tale, ending in the 24th Century (24C) — after drawing on and projecting the remainder of our 21st century and projecting the 22nd, 23rd and 24th centuries — is based on current worldwide political, societal, cultural, economic, and scientific trends.

BEFORE 24C

By early October 2016 all the pollsters, all the media and all the pundits all but elect Hillary Clinton for president on November 8. It’s a lock, a landslide-a-coming for Hillary, they all chime in.

✓ BYE BYE TRUMPTY declares the N.Y. Slymes [sic] October 15 headline.

✓ HUMPTY TRUMPTY SAT ON THE WALL; HUMPTY TRUMPTY HAD A GREAT FALL, celebrates the Washedup [sic]Postal on October 16.

✓ On October 21, Lizzy (Pocohantas) [sic]Warren declares, Hello Hillary, Goodbye Trumpty- Bumpty!

✓ On October 22, Hillary’s inferior [sic] decorator orders new furniture for the Oval Office, and measures for new drapes.

On November 8, 2016, Donald Trump is elected 45th president of the United States.

A November 18, 2016 article featured in the Washup Postal reveals that one of its keenest reporters spotted Trump having lunch on November 1 with the Russian ambassador in a private room in New York’s Russian Tea Room; that Trump had Russian dressing on his salad; that he had caviar especially imported from The Crimea (which everybody knows was illegally annexed by Russia); that Trump took a sip of Smirnoff Vodka (also from Russia) along with the Russian ambassador.

Surely, concludes the Postal’s bombshell article, Trump’s all things Russian is unquestionable proof that he indeed colluded with Russia to win his election illegally on November 8, and that therefore it is a cakewalk that his impeachment is imminent.

By December 15, Hillary has organized a group dubbed the "NeverTrumpers, which is dedicated to the destruction of what she and her cohorts say is the rigged election of the fake Trump. The group – which is scheduled to meet every Friday evening at Hillary’s house — includes several celebrities and TV personalities. They have their own unique flag — designed by Hillary herself — which features a red skull and crossbones atop a bleeding Trump countenance, under which is the word faker" — all on a black background.

At the beginning of each session, the gathering recites the following (which ends on a religious note):

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the Never Trumpers and our cause for which it stands: one goal, under Satan [optional], with the dedication of bringing Trump to justice once and for all. Amen.

In early May 2017, President Trump fires FBI Director James (Indecisive)[sic] Comey, touching off a brouhaha that hasn’t been seen since Watergate days (if then), and a short-list/long-list guessing game of his replacement. Comey’s testimony to Congress on June 8 only touches off a greater conflagration. On June 7, President Trump names Christopher Wray as the next FBI Director, and he is confirmed by the Senate on August
