A year to forget and it ain't over yet!
Dateline; October 2017
“I'm a little tired of 2017 if you
ask me,”said Texarkana Hanna as she sipped a fresh mug of coffee
from the club house's new coffee maker. The old one was run to death
during Irma off of my generator. “Now we have another storm brewing
and maybe coming our way. My niece's husband is still in the hospital
in Las Wages, Nevada and my gardener's grandson was hit in the eye by
a package of flying paper towels in Puerto Rico.”
“Things are tough all over,” said
Cap'n Crunch, “but we have to buck up and out ride the evil doers!”
“So, you blame just the shooter in
Vegas? Not the gun manufacturers nor the Congressmen who won't change
the law,” asked Boston Bob.
“There you Liberals go again, trying
to take our rights away from us,” said Run-aground Ralph. “The
second Amendment guarantees us the right to bear arms. We have States
rights on our side, too!”
“Nobody got hit in the eye by a
package of paper towels,” said Indy Cindy. Several members jumped
in with reports...”it was an 11 year old little girl...an 80 year
old Grandmother or a crippled blind boy in a wheel chair.” All
claimed to have seen these reports on social media?
“You can't blame Trump for
everything,” said Ralph. “He went to Texas and came here to
Florida and Puerto Rico and Las Vegas. None of which were his fault!”
“The Las Vegas shooter was insane, he
had to be! We have to keep all kind of weapons out of the hands of
Nuts,” said Crunchie.
“Trump rescinded an executive order
by Obama to ban gun sales to mental patience. How is that helpful?
The hurricanes are worse 'cause of climate change but Trump wants out
of the Paris accords which might be a viable argument but hitting
people in the eyes with rolls of paper towels certainly is his
fault!” Texarkana Hanna was shouting at the top of her lungs when
she finished.
Every Trump supporter demanded to know
where the 'false news' came from. Erie Earl said he saw it on Fox
News show 'Fox and Fiends' and that quieted to rhetoric to a low roar
while all the smart phones were queried.
“FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS,”
the Red side of the aisle chanted. “Those reports have been
debunked!”
“Then why did the Secret Service
hustle a Grandmother and a little girl out of the crowd and onto a
private jet headed to Andrew's Air Force base and the Bethesda Naval
Hospital, why? I saw the video report on Fox News. Both of them held
their eyes as they got off the helicopter, why,” asked Boston Bob.
“...and why did Hillary keep those children chained up in the Pizza Parlor basement,” asked Erie Earl.
That was too far over the top and the
members on the Red side knew they were being put on. After all, one
of their own had entered the Pizza joint armed like the shooter in
Las Wages but discovered that the place didn't have a cellar. Oops,
Fake News! Social Media is full of it.
