The White House finds its national emergency!
In light of the most recent and to date most blatant grab at fascism (see thread), consider:

Swarms of cicadas emerging in Midwest

CHICAGO - Coming soon: Brood XIII. It sounds like a bad horror movie. But it's actually the name of the billions of cicadas expected to emerge this month in parts of the Midwest after spending 17 years underground.

The red-eyed, shrimp-sized, flying insects don't bite or sting. But they are known for mating calls that produce a din that can overpower ringing telephones, lawn mowers and power tools.

Brood XIII is expected across northern Illinois, and in parts of Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. Cicadas live only about 30 days as adults, and their main goal is mating.

It will start with Faux News "journalists" talking about an "invasion" of "a close relative of locusts" who will "disrupt daily life" through "acts of terrorism." Then the Junta will declare a national emergency "for the duration" which, somehow, will never end.

appearance and incredibly loud and scary noise, they will carry on in a rather Clintonesque matter during their stay by fucking fiendishly and nightmarishly in a liberal sex fest that would put sodom and Hope Arkansas to shame to ensure the attacks will occur in the future. Back to you blonde woman in the studio.
