CSI: American Carnage (Thursday, April 23, 2020)
WASHINGTON – Donald leans back in the recliner in the Executive Lounge, secure in the knowledge that the growth rate of the mold breeding in the rear area off the bathroom has been retarded. Hector is back from the shop and is silent and plugged into his niche. There is a fine supply of essentials picked up from the Dollar Store and Cinnabon. The lounge has the slightly rancid smell, faint but sweet, of an old laundry hamper sitting near backed up waste in the sub-basement. Hec! Donald shouts. I need something to drink! Hector powers up, unplugs, and fetches a Caramel Dr. Pepper. He hands it over to Donald and returns to charging in his niche. Donald picks up the cell and calls Texas. Dan answers. He says, It is an honor to hear your voice, sir. Donald says, Of course. I just want to say, you’re on the right track. Keep it up. Mitch is gonna keep focusing on the judges. He’s gonna move em out as fast as possible. We got some stiffs lined up for the districts and the circuits. But we gotta get people to move. Move em. What you’re doing is god’s work, Dan, god’s work. That’s what Jeffress says and Paula, bless her, agrees, and the vice president. Dan says, Thank you. I’m thankful that we are now beginning to open up Texas and other states because it’s been long overdue. Donald says, Yes it has. Dan says, We figure only 500 people got taken out so far. That’s out of 29 million! You revise the parameters a little and make it more accurate and you got only 300, and personally, that’s probably too high. Most of these are in the nursing homes, which are breeding grounds for filth, you know, people lying in their own waste, that kind of thing, unable to move. Who knows what killed them, you know what I’m saying? Donald says, Okay. Dan says, And we’re locked down and we’re crushing the average worker, we’re crushing small business, we’re crushing the markets, we’re crushing this country. Donald says, Yeah. That’s not why we founded this great country, which our beloved seniors would agree with. Dan says, I don’t want to die, nobody wants to die but man we’ve got to take some risks! Donald says, Yeah. My thought exactly. Even our beloved seniors, they don’t want to lie in their own filth. I don’t want that. Mitch doesn’t. We are giving them a chance to get up and get back into it. Dan says, No handouts. Donald says, Mitch is making sure of that. Dan says, Bless you both for your vision. Few would understand the way you understand. There are more important things than living. – Thursday, April 23, 2020
