Numb. 1474 All In Da Famblies and Stepfather Of His Country

CLIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES (7/15/2025)

GOOGLE AI Overview(edited for length and clarity - The Proprietor)

Here's an analysis of the headline [TROMPE PRAISING ...] and associated text:

• Trompe: This likely satirically misspells Donald Trump, which is a common tactic in political cartoons and satirical media to allude to figures without directly naming them.

• Nathan Yahoo: This is most likely a satirical representation of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel.

• Xi, 'Bosanaro' [bows and arrow], Putin: These refer to the leaders of China, Brazil, and Russia, respectively.

• "Great Powerful Leaders Good At Getting Their Way, Gotta Watch Out For Each Other": This suggests a cynical view of these leaders, portraying them as powerful and self-serving, with a sense of guarded respect for each other's abilities to exert influence.

• "AND I AM CAPO DE TUTTI CAPI": This phrase, meaning "boss of all bosses" or "leader of all leaders" in Italian, is associated with the mafia and implies a self-proclaimed position of supreme authority.

• "Likens 'Arrangement' To New York's 'Five Famblies'; Modi, Kim Two-Bit Outta-Towners": This likens the relationship between the leaders to the "Five Families" of the New York Mafia, suggesting a criminal or organized-crime-like structure to their international relations. The reference to "Modi" (likely Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India) and "Kim" (likely Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea) as "two-bit outta-towners" further reinforces this hierarchical and dismissive tone, implying they are lesser players in this power dynamic.

• By AL MOBBDUP Special to The Now Dark Times: The author's name, "Al Mobbdup," and the publication, "The Now Dark Times," are also satirical elements. "Mobbdup" hints at mafia involvement, and "The Now Dark Times" is a play on The New York Times, suggesting a cynical and critical perspective on the news and political landscape. 

The image is a satirical commentary on the perceived power dynamics and relationships between several world leaders, using mafia-related terms and imagery to convey a critical and humorous message.

The piece [headlined TROMPE REBRANDS ...], attributed to "GUNNER B. BYGUN Special to The Now Dark Times," suggests a figure named "Trompe" (likely a satirical stand-in for a public figure known for branding and renaming, such as Donald Trump) is seeking to rename Washington D.C. and its monuments. 

The headline also references making a monument "Taller, With Gold Prophylactic Tip," which appears to be a humorous and suggestive element in this satirical context. The article further states, "Says Founders Intent Always Was To Pay All Due Homage, Shower All Honor On Him," and includes the phrase, "FATHER HAS TO HAVE CHILDREN," potentially implying a connection between founding figures and their legacy or the act of creation.

The piece is likely a work of political satire, using humor and exaggeration to comment on current events or figures, specifically those related to branding, monuments, and historical interpretations.

Numb. 1308 Fast Forward Backwards

The prospect of legal challenges to President Trump’s purges may be a feature, not a bug, for adherents of sweeping presidential authority. - New York Times

When OPL’s* dictates† come before court,

those wishing dismissals may come up short.

SCOTUS, from which succor is sought,

moons ago was paid for and bought.

We may see law, i.e. what law’s thought to be,

ignored in favor of what law “ought to be”

in a Christian Republic where what “virtue" prevails

is that of an OGRE‡ who daily assails

all things he perceives as in the way

of him forever having the final say.

If SCOTUS decision isn't what he expects,

he will demand, “WHO got elected?

I got voters, Secret Service escorts.

I am SUPREME over all courts.

My pocket's got codes for nuclear forces.

I got connections to Mafia bosses.

Furthermore, as I told you before,

you mess with me, you get Marshall Law.

As Frank Sinatra might smilingly say,

I don't do regrets. I do it my way."

Numb. 1298 Mafia Donnie

Speaking to the Financial Times, officials said that Trump, then still president-elect, spoke with [Danish PM Mette] Frederiksen for 45 minutes last week, during which he was described to be aggressive and confrontational about Frederiksen’s refusal to sell Greenland to the US. — Guardian

Say I make an offer Danes can’t refuse.

And if they do? I win, they lose.

What happens then, is outta my hands.

Denmark's with Hoffa in Meadowlands.

I’m distressed. I send card wid flowers:

So long, old pal. I wudda built towers.

Numb. 1275 Wiseguys and the White House Gangsters, Presidents, and the Deals They Made

Mafia Don? Trump and other presidents who flirted with the mob

A new book looks into the complicated relationship between the mob and the White House from Roosevelt to Biden — Guardian

According to [author Eric] Dezenhall, “the thing that makes Trump different from all of the other presidents is he’s the only one who has been shockingly open about talking about” his experiences with the mob.

(Readers are invited to wad Kleenex in their cheeks and do their best brand o’ [😉] Don Corleone as they read to their children beside their fireside.)

Donald J. Trump? 

He’s one wise guy.

How do ya know?

Mafia ties.

“Great” presidents —

FDR, Truman —

dealt with the dons.

Listen, it’s human.

Whenever ya wanna

get some stuff done

ya really gotta

know guys with guns.

Sam Giancanna

and JFK?

Shared them a lady,

some people say.

Even St. Reagan,

otherwise anti-mob ,

let pal with “connections”

get on with the job.

Donnie, of course,

dealt in construction,

where knowing bosses,

prevents obstruction.

In the end no one cares

about saints and sinners —

okay, mebbe upstairs —

down here it’s winners.
