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“Trump rescinded an executive order by Obama to ban gun sales to mental patience.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.

This country needs more Critical Thinking and less reading personal opinion into unverified News!
