TONY SAYS:
So, alright, lemme tell ya about this crazy week, see? It’s like a fuckin’ plate of pasta – you got everything in there, good, bad, ugly… mostly ugly, to be honest.
First off, this Trump and Putin thing in Alaska. A “joint press conference,” they call it. Joint my ass. More like a couple of guys comparing notes on how to strong-arm some poor sap outta their dough, capisce? Two big shots, talkin’ about world peace while probably plotting some shit behind each other's backs. These guys are like a couple of spoiled brats with nukes, these two. You gotta watch 'em. Always watch 'em.
Then there’s this charity in Ireland, screamin’ about one of their broads gettin’ snatched in Haiti. Haiti? Fuckin' Haiti. That place is a shithole, even worse than Newark on a bad day. I wouldn't send my worst enemy there, much less a charity worker. She shoulda known better. Maybe she was looking for some cheap vacation.
And the wildfires? Eight hundred structures threatened? Seven percent contained? Sounds like a fuckin’ disaster. Like one of those gabagool fires at Christmas, only bigger, and with way less good smells. Hope they got some real firefighters, not some bunch of pencil-pushers from City Hall. You know how it is, you gotta have the right connections...
Canada’s gettin’ whacked with higher tariffs. Thirty-five percent? Fuckin' highway robbery! Trump's squeezing Canada like a lemon. Mexico gets a ninety-day reprieve. They musta had some kinda deal worked out… maybe a little something under the table. I wouldn’t be surprised, these things happen. You gotta know how to play the game, right?
Somebody saw some lights over Brisbane. Turns out it was a Chinese satellite launch. Like a fuckin’ goddamn fireworks show, but with better PR. I swear, these Chinks are always showing off.
Tsunamis? Russia, Japan, Ecuador, Hawaii… jeez, Mother Nature’s having a bad hair day. She's tired of all our bullshit, I guess. Maybe we deserve it. I mean, it's not like I'm an environmentalist, but you gotta have some respect.
They’re building more of that border wall, closin’ “critical gaps.” More like closin’ gaps in Trump’s brain, am I right? Fuckin' concrete walls ain’t gonna solve nothin’ – it’s like trying to stop a flood with a sieve.
Trump's all upset with Putin about Ukraine. "Disappointed," he says. Like he gives a rat’s ass. He's disappointed that Putin’s not playing along with whatever scheme he got cooking. These guys are playing chess, only with people’s lives.
And that whole Iran thing… missile strikes, protests in every fuckin’ major city… it’s a goddamn mess, a real clusterfuck. Reminds me of that time Paulie Walnuts… nevermind. Long story. Suffice it to say, you gotta be careful who you’re pissing off.
Thirteen people busted for runnin’ a scam center. Could be worse, right? They could be running a chop shop or a loan shark ring. They should be so lucky, these guys.
This whole Trump and Israel thing is about to blow up. The fact that he's even considering joining the fray… that's just crazy talk. It's like playing with fire, and these ain't no goddamn candles, these are nuclear weapons.
Al Gore’s talking climate change again, some summit or other. Listen, I ain't sayin' global warming ain't real, but these eco-freaks… they’re a bunch of crybabies, alright?
So there you have it. Another week in paradise. You wanna grab another espresso? This whole thing’s got me needing a little somethin’ stronger. Maybe a glass of good Chianti… And maybe a little something to calm the nerves. You know, for medicinal purposes, of course. Capisce?
