Burning Man revelers walk around swamped Nevada desert BAREFOOT with just tins of tuna to eat – as 73,000 are stranded and one person dies

Burning Man revelers have been forced to walk around the swamped playa barefoot and survive on tins of tuna after a washout saturated the dry ground.

Torrential rains overwhelmed the Nevada desert, turning the dust into clay – meaning that 73,000 revelers are trapped until the landscape dries up. One person died in the ordeal, it was reported on Saturday.

Festivalgoers dealing with the treacherous conditions in Black Rock City have also ditched their shoes that keep getting stuck in the mud – while they desperately conserve their food and water supplies.

The portable toilets on the festival site also aren’t being cleaned or emptied because service trucks cannot reach them – creating ‘foul’ conditions in the playa.

Campers have had their tents and structures breached due to the pouring rain, leaving many people tired, wet, and muddy.

There may be no place like home, but President Joe Biden says he cannot go to his.

Unprompted, Biden approached reporters Sunday in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, after he went to Mass at St. Edmond Roman Catholic Church to say he was not on vacation.

“I have no home to go to,” said Biden, who lives at the White House on weekdays and spends most weekends in Delaware, where he has two homes.

…

Asked Sunday if he was saying that he’s homeless, Biden said that was not the case.

“No, I’m not homeless,” he said. “I just have one home. I have a beautiful home. I’m down here for the day because I can’t go home-home.”

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
IMAO art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.

Meanwhile, Oppo headed to Vegas to try his luck:

Adios, self-esteem. I mean, summer!

‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Star Erika Jayne, Secret Service Agents Sued by Fashion Designer Who Says He Was Swindled Out of $787,000

Erika Jayne was sued in federal court Tuesday by Marco Marco fashion designer Christopher Psaila. The designer says the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star used her husband’s Secret Service connections to swindle back nearly a million dollars in credit-card charges that were actually legitimate.

In court documents obtained by TheWrap, Psaila alleges that Jayne’s now-estranged husband Tom Girardi conspired with three Secret Service agents – Robert Savage, Steve Scarince and Kenneth Henderson – to maliciously prosecute Psaila.

The Marco Marco designer says the defendants leveraged their connections, including an American Express employee, to get $800,000-$900,000 in charges reversed by falsely claiming they were fraudulent without doing due diligence.

I’m not even going to pretend to understand this story. Just something about 3 Secret Service guys and a blonde.

If she was lower in the picture, I might be in love.
