Not much is happening in downtown Los Angeles, so ICE agents raided MacArthur Park. It’s one of the nation’s great urban parks. I’d like to see the ICE-holes pull this stunt in full combat gear in one of New Orleans’ great urban parks: Audubon Park or City Park. It’s July so it’s hot enough to melt ICE agents like the cake in the rain in the venerable Jimmy Webb song.
That’s right, kids, the OG Dumbledore was the first to record this absurd and absurdly catchy song. Did he leave the cake out in the rain? In case you’re wondering about that bizarre line, check out the lyrics to MacArthur Park:
MacArthur Park is melting in the darkAll the sweet, green icing flowing downSomeone left my cake out in the rainI don’t think that I can take it‘Cause it took too long to bake itAnd I’ll never have that recipe again, again”
Told you it was absurd. Oh-oh-oh.
This is what happens when the self-loathing Angelino Stephen Miller is driving the immigration train. Miller tried pulling this shit during Trump 1.0 but was thwarted by John Kelly among others at DHS. Cosplay Kristi is in charge now, so she rubberstamps this egregious nonsense. The sycophancy, it burns.
Ironies abound with Trump 2.0’s immigration efforts. Miller and his ilk claim to hate quotas at universities and corporations but he’s given ICE arrest quotas. Smells like DEI to me.
Was this fakakta raid inspired by the release of the latest damn dinosaur movie, Jurassic World Rebirth? The ICE gauleiters may be familiar with this MacArthur Park parody by Weird Al:
If ICE’s antics were a TV show, we’d say they jumped the shark in MacArthur Park. It’s the incompetence, stupid.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass rightly took umbrage over this ICE and pony show:
L.A. Mayor Karen Bass shared footage on social media of officers, including some on horseback, traversing a soccer field.
“Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through,” she wrote. “The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW. Absolutely outrageous.”
Children in the park were attending a summer day camp around the time of the raid, Bass said.
One of the officials in the raid told the Associated Press that the raid was “going to be more overt and larger than we usually participate in,” though the news organization added that raid ended abruptly with no explanation.”
It looks like this half-baked raid yielded no arrests. The so-called occupation of Los Angeles is nothing but an extended photo-op to placate Stephen Miller, Cosplay Kristi, and the Kaiser of Chaos.
There is one unanswered question: Who left the cake out in the rain, Stephen Miller or Cosplay Kristi?
Repeat after me: Mockery is the best medicine.
The last word goes to Paul Shaffer, Jimmy Webb, Will Lee, and The World’s Most Dangerous Band:
