D.C.’s Kayfabe Conspiracy: A Tag-Team Smackdown
Welcome to The D.C. Smackdown, where Democrats and Republicans fake a feud like WWE wrestlers and reality TV stars, staging votes, protests, and wars for epic drama! The Continuing Resolution (CR), “No Kings” protests, a bizarre U.S.-Iran “war,” Trump’s impeachment flop, and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) are scripted spots in a billionaire-orchestrated conspiracy. Elites, with media as announcers and X as the crowd, manipulate tension to distract while the wealthy cash in. Step into the ring!
Act 1: The CR – The Opening Promo
The Work: In October 2024, Congress passed the Continuing Resolution to avoid a shutdown, a high-stakes “save” (The Wall Street Journal, October 2024). Billionaire-backed lobbyists secured defense payouts in secret talks (OpenSecrets, 2025).
The Smackdown Spin: House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries hyped “fiscal duty,” while X buzzed with #ShutdownShowdown takes (X analysis, October 2024). The deadline scare was kayfabe, amplified by media to grip viewers (Media Matters, March 2025).
Act 2: No Kings Protests – The Riot Angle
The Work: On June 14, 2025, millions joined “No Kings” protests against Trump’s policies, sparked by his $45M military parade (NPR, June 2025). Rep. Ro Khanna rallied progressives on X, while Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended Trump (X post, June 2025). Police in L.A. used tear gas after attacks, escalating chaos (CBS Los Angeles, June 2025).
The Smackdown Spin: The parade was a kayfabe prop to provoke protests, with police clashes as a “riot angle” fueling X outrage (X post, June 2025). Media hyped the chaos, distracting from OBBBA talks (Media Matters, March 2025).
Act 3: Iran’s Worked Shoot – The Fake War
The Work: On June 21, 2025, Trump’s B-2 bombers hit Iran’s nuclear sites, but Iran claimed they were evacuated, with no uranium found (BBC, June 22, 2025). Sen. Rand Paul and Rep. Thomas Massie slammed the unauthorized strikes, while Sen. Lindsey Graham backed Trump (The Hill, June 21, 2025). Iran’s counterattack hit an evacuated U.S. base in Qatar (NPR, June 23, 2025). A ceasefire followed (The New York Times, June 23, 2025).
The Smackdown Spin: A “worked shoot” saw Trump and Iran stage a war with no damage, hyped by media to bury OBBBA scrutiny (X post, June 22, 2025). Billionaires ensured minimal impact for investments (OpenSecrets, 2025).
Act 4: Impeachment Flop – A Shocking Swerve
The Work: On June 24, 2025, Rep. Al Green’s impeachment push over Trump’s Iran strikes flopped, 344–79 (AP News, June 24, 2025). AOC and Rep. Sean Casten’s fiery X rants fueled “no war” hopes, but Jeffries stayed silent, and 128 Democrats joined GOP, including Paul and Massie, to kill it (Newsweek, June 21, 2025; X post, June 24, 2025).
The Smackdown Spin: AOC played the babyface, Trump the heel, with GOP critics’ flip as a swerve. The rejection shocked X, expecting impeachment, like a Real Housewives twist (X analysis, June 24, 2025).
Act 5: The OBBBA – The Title Shot
The Work: OBBBA passed the House (215–214–1, May 2025) and Senate (51–50, July 1, 2025, VP JD Vance’s tiebreaker), adding $3.3T in debt and cutting Medicaid for billionaire tax breaks (Wikipedia, July 2025). Sen. John Thune pushed “cuts,” while Sen. Chuck Schumer’s weak opposition hid concessions (The Hill, July 2025).
The Smackdown Spin: OBBBA was the main event, with tight votes as a nail-biter. X roared with #BigBeautifulBill outrage, fueling the kayfabe (X post, May 2025).
The Conspiracy: A Billionaire-Backed Title Reign
The Angle: Dems and Reps are tag-team partners in The D.C. Smackdown, with billionaire donors scripting votes, protests, and a fake war—CR’s payouts, “No Kings” chaos, Iran’s “worked shoot,” impeachment’s swerve, OBBBA’s $3.3T grab—for climactic drama (Wikipedia, July 2025). Lobbying shaped outcomes, media hid donor wins, and X outrage fueled the kayfabe (OpenSecrets, 2025; Media Matters, March 2025; Journal of Political Psychology, 2024).
Clues:
- Bipartisan Sync: CR and impeachment aligned too neatly (Reuters, June 2025).
- Billionaire Wins: OBBBA’s tax cuts favored the wealthy (OpenSecrets, 2025).
- Media Kayfabe: Protests and Iran strikes buried OBBBA scrutiny (Media Matters, March 2025).
- X Heat: #NoKings and #BigBeautifulBill posts drove the script (X post, June–July 2025).
The Motive: Billionaires, with media as announcers and X as the crowd, script Smackdown to distract while they profit. The fake war and protests kept us hooked, ensuring elite control.
The Next Pay-Per-View: The Next Spot
Will Trump cut a crisis promo? Will Dems stage another swerve? The kayfabe rolls on, with billionaires calling the shots. Stay tuned, America—you’re the fans, not the bookers!
