It is March 12, 1998 and the world is
panicked as astronomers have found a mile sized asteroid that is projected to
strike Earth. Many experts are calling
this similar to the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs and, similarly, there
could be massive extinctions when this asteroid collides with Earth. Luckily for the citizens of Earth, they have
plenty of time to prepare as it won’t be hitting Earth for 30 years
(2028).
On March 13, 1998, new
information became available and when the new data was put into the astronomers
calculations, they discovered the asteroid would miss Earth by 600,000
miles. Although it’s easy to accuse the
astronomers of the previous day of lying or crying wolf, the fact was that they
were relying on bad data. It’s not that
they misled, they were just wrong. Who
knew that this one day panic would be referenced when those born this year were
celebrating their 22nd Birthday?
Although this is a tale of why you should withhold from drastic measures
until the data is in, history has a way of repeating itself. In a ScienceWorld magazine, which is geared
toward children, it asserts that in the year 2,000, the world will be so
polluted people will need gas masks to go outside even if it’s just to go to
their car. The time period ended up
being closer to the asteroid colliding with Earth but in 2020 people will feel
the need to wear masks to go outside but it has nothing to do with global
warming or air pollution but a virus.
The year is 2009, and a new virus is plaguing the world
known as H1N1 or the Swine Flu. As it
enters into the United States, the mainstream media knows it can’t ignore the
story. Given that the president is a
Democrat and the mainstream media is a propaganda arm for the Democratic Prty,
any talking head or anchor speaking about Ebola is strictly advised to not use
incendiary speech that may cause a panic.
The emphasis is to remain calm and avoid hysterics or hard sounding
words as the key is to avoid a mass panic and hysteria. During its height, the H1N1 virus would kill
12,469 people from April 2009 to April 2020.
The media did a good job with the
swine flu as by 2015, most people had forgotten about it as it didn’t have too
large an effect. This, however, was not
the last health emergency that President Obama would face as toward the end of
his administration he also had to deal with Ebola. Like the swine flu, the mainstream media did
everything in their power to keep the public calm. After all, a panicked nation will always look
toward the head as the culprit.
In January 2020, unlike with the
Swine Flu and Ebola, the President is not just a Republican but the most
conservative president in decades.
President Trump has spent three years refusing to cower and be bullied
by the libelous, scandalous, treacherous mainstream media, liberals, Democrats and
the Deep State of government. This has
driven his detractors crazy and they no longer have a shred of intellectual
activity nor practice any decorum whatsoever.
Since the media is still a propaganda arm of the Democrat party, their
reaction to this new virus out of Wuhan China is to do the opposite they did
with Obama, and do everything in their power to incite mass panic. They want chaos and chaos is what they’ll
get. Not taking a lesson from 1998, the
entire economy will be shut down based on hysteria that is relying on models
that did not pan out.
Throughout history, there has
been a common theme with Democrats.
First, you come out strongly against something and then when you get
proven wrong and completely eviscerated, you exaggerate the opposing view in
order to trick the public into believing that you were the ones with the idea
the entire time and the people that were right at the time are the real liars
and conspiracy theorists. The most
obvious case of this is slavery. At the
time of the Civil War, no Republican owned any slaves. Since every slave owner was a Democrat, the
debate over abolition of slavery was the number one topic among Democrats and
Republicans. Now that there is pretty
much unanimous consent that slavery is wrong and those that would deny that are
excused, rightfully so, from polite conversation, the Democrats seek to
overcompensate for being on the wrong side of history by pushing for
reparations for slavery. The
Republicans, the original abolitionists, stayed with their level-headedness
throughout the 150 years since the Civil War and didn’t agree with reparations,
which forces the Democrats to decry they are the real racists. Republicans normally rest on their laurels
that the facts and data are on their side but when the Democrats control the
schools, the media and culture through movies, they convinced enough people to
forget that it was them that had been pro-slavery.
In more recent history, this can
be seen with the segregation movement.
During the Jim Crow era, it was always the Democrats that advocated for
segregation. Almost every member of the
KKK was a Democrat. Much more Democrats
voted against the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 than Republicans. It was
a Republican, Eisenhower, that desegregated school and the most
conservative president, Reagan, that gave blacks and white White House staff
equal pay. The Democrat Woodrow Wilson
was responsible for the rise in the KKK by showing their propaganda film Birth of a Nation as the first movie
ever shown in the White House. Now 50
years later, it is ridiculous to suggest that blacks are inferior to whites. The
Democrats again overcompensate for being on the wrong side of history by
shouting the need for affirmative action and quotas. In order to make up for discriminating
against them, they want them to have preferential treatment. The Republicans, again, understand that they
were right in the 1950s and 1960s and they’re right now; equal treatment for
the races. As the Republican Martin
Luther King said, ‘Judge me not by the color of my skin but the content of my
character.’ Never did King believe he
should be favored for being black, he just wanted an equal playing field.
In 2020, the internet would
revolutionize information dissemination.
Now, instead of taking years to thoroughly and utterly humiliate
Democrats on being on the wrong side of history, it takes months. The same pattern is playing out with regard
to the Coronavirus. In January 2020, Fox
news reports on news coming out of a market in Wuhan, China of a virus that was
caused by a horseshoe bat. Initial reports are that someone contracted the
virus by eating the bat and it then spread to other people rapidly. Fox News shows a viral video of the contagion
to warn the public. President Trump,
looking at the reports, bans travel to and from China and the media and
Democrats attack him for being a racist and a xenophobe as they always do when
he bans people from traveling to America from countries harmful to the United
States. Media Matters takes it a step
further and calls Fox ‘fearmongers’ for their warning about the Wuhan
Virus. After all, the World Health
Organization (WHO) had asked China about it and China said that it wasn’t a big
deal. Later, the World Health
Organization would tell the world that the virus can’t be contracted from human
to human. After all, that’s what China
told them and communists have never been known to lie.
Just as how Republicans and
Reagan didn’t believe reports out of Chernobyl in 1987, President Trump and
Republicans are skeptical about the information coming out of China. Just like with Chernobyl, the Democrats call
them conspiracy theorists as the claim China has it completely under
control. Quickly, the other mainstream
media outlets begin their gas lighting campaign to shame the public that if you
panic from the virus, you are a racist.
After all, Democrats are just communists in disguise. In fact, some don’t even disguise it anymore
so China is their ideological ally. This
is why they trust every word coming out of China and China said that this virus
isn’t very contagious and not a big deal for it can’t even be transmitted
through the air. There has to be human
contact to transfer it.
It only took two months for the
world to realize that China was full of shit and Fox News and the Republicans
were right again. As is their standard
of practice, the Democrats exaggerated the Republican position in order to mask
that it was them that downplayed it.
They scream that the economy needs to be shut down and people need to be
forced to stay home. Throughout America,
there is a maximum panic instilled and anyone that speaks against it is
considered a blood thirsty asshole who cares more about profits than human
lives. Now, Republicans are asking if it
was really worth this reaction, thus the Democrats can now accuse them of
downplaying it but really, just like always, the Republicans remain consistent
and steady while the Democrats swing from one extreme to the other.
In the middle of the pandemic,
Adam Schiff, fresh off impeaching President Trump over an innocuous phone call
with the new Ukrainian President, releases to the media that he wants to
investigate President Trump for his reaction to the pandemic. Unlike with the impeachment where Speaker of
the House Nancy Pelosi was against it before being cajoled into it by Schiff
and Nadler, she is completely onboard with the scam. Nancy Pelosi calls the head of a mainstream
media conglomerate whom we will call ‘Ted.’
Pelosi starts, “Hey Ted, how are you?”
“Well, my anxiety is really
elevated because of this Coronavirus.”
“That is what I want to talk to
you about?”
“Do you have some good news?”
“Yes, but not in the way you
think. We found that this is an
opportunity to finally take down Trump.”
“Well, we’ve been trying that
for three years and he always seems to get through it.”
“Not this time. People are dying and we’re going to highlight
it. What I want you to do is to tell
your minions to put a perimeter around what people can and can’t talk about.”
“What can they talk about and
what can’t they?”
“They can talk about how serious
this virus is and how deadly it is. They
cannot talk about an overreaction or trying to open the economy. Avoid all talk of the effective treatments
that have already been discovered for it.
If it comes up, just say that it won’t be available till September at
the earliest.”
“Aren’t some of those drugs
already FDA approved and deemed safe for humans?”
“Yes, but we own the FDA and
they will stop it from being massively administered until after the election.”
“You’re going to let people die
to take down Donald Trump?”
“Yes, the ends justifies the
means. You can’t make an omelet without
breaking eggs; any cook will tell you that.”
“How do I respond to people that
don’t like being out of work?”
“Tell them that life is about
trade-offs. Sometimes you have to do
what you don’t like in order to advance yourself. Some people work two jobs. They don’t like it but they do it to feed
their families.”
“Couldn’t you say the same thing
about opening the economy and allowing people to choose if risking contracting
the virus is worth the trade-off of not working and providing for their
family?”
“Given how many people would
take that risk, we had to force people not to have that choice.”
“Alright, I understand.”
“Thank you Ted. Stay safe.”
“You two Madame Speaker.”
Ted writes a memo to the head of
his networks to push what Pelosi told him to.
This prompted a phone call from one of them who we will call ‘Jeff.”
Jeff comments, “Hey, I have a
question. You just talked to Pelosi; did
she enlighten you on any insider information about this virus?”
“No, she just told us how to
frame the narrative.”
“Okay, I mean we should be
encouraged that the models aren’t working.
They’ve been completely off. It
seems that we are acting on conclusions and policies are being based on data
that we find to be garbage a couple days later.”
“We are operating on the data we
have. That’s the only thing we can do.”
“Right, but maybe we should hold
off on advocating drastic measure until all the data is in”
“It’ll be too late by then. Right now, we need to tell the public that
Trump lied and people died.”
“That’s not what happened at all
though.”
“There was a delay in getting
the testing out.”
“That’s because the CDC fucked
up getting the tests out. That is why
Trump had to get rid of the Obama law that private companies couldn’t make
disease testing.”
“We were heavily unprepared for
this pandemic.”
“Because the WHO lied to us.”
“This is what the experts and
scientists are telling us to do so we will listen to them because this is their
area of expertise, they know better than us.”
“You do know these are the same
dumbasses that messed up the test roll out and told us that it couldn’t be
contracted from human to human? Why would
we listen to people that were so categorically wrong just a couple months ago?”
“Don’t let Fox News corrupt
you.”
“I don’t even know what you’re
referring to. I don’t watch Fox.”
“Tucker Carlson had a segment
saying that the experts have more power than they’ve ever had before and
they’re turning out to be wrong across the board.”
“Yea, I would agree with that.”
“It is your organization’s job
to never agree with Fox News or Trump.”
“Respectfully, we are beyond
political squabbling right now. Ten
million jobs have been lost the last two weeks because of data that was wrong.”
“And those 10 million people
have made Trump’s precious unemployment rate skyrocket. Now he can’t tell us ad nauseum how black,
Asian, female and Hispanic unemployment is at all time lows. We tried AB5 but he rebounded from that in a
month. We finally did it. We tricked him into shutting down his
precious economy and destroying the stock market that he built up so much in
the last three years.”
Jeff’s tone turned dire as he
was incredulous with what he was hearing.
He spoke slowly as he uttered, “You love this? You want chaos and panic because it damages
Trump. 330 Million Americans be damned
so long as Trump doesn’t get re-elected.”
“Don’t get sanctimonious on
me. This virus is very contagious and we
took the necessary precautions.”
“It is very contagious but it’s
not as serious as the models or people make it out to be.”
“That kind of talk is precisely
what you are banned from saying on any of my outlets. I’ll make sure you never work again if I hear
a whisper of that. In fact, if people do
say what you just said, they need to be vilified and attacked with great
vengeance and furious anger.”
“Is there no line Ted?”
“No, there isn’t. Not when it comes to taking down Trump.”
The suppressed economic and
entrepreneurial spirit of Americans is still rumbling as they struggle to find
a way to stay afloat amidst the Draconian restrictions instilled on them by the
government. Most small business owners
know that the recent stimulus bill will hold them over for a time period
measured in weeks not months. As they
face the threat, they find that the pressure is opening up new more efficient
pathways to conduct business as bookkeeping can be streamlined. Technologies that they shied away from due to
the novelty of them are now being embraced and they are becoming more
financially literate. As an example,
small restaurants that did not have bars had noticed a trend lately that most
of their business comes through delivery and take out and fewer people eat in
the restaurant anymore. Despite seeing
this trend, they were always hesitant to close the restaurant and go delivery
and take out only as that could prove to be a mistake. It was better to hedge your bets and give the
public an option for both. Now that they
were forced to close the dine in portion, they had to let go of their
waitresses and busboys and only keep their deliverers and cooks. As they looked at their financials during the
crisis, they started to realize that the money saved on not having people eat
in was covering the money lost by not having that option. Suddenly, the idea to re-open if the threat
is neutralized became a tough decision.
Perhaps, they didn’t need so much space and all they really needed was a
kitchen.
In the White House, President
Trump is meeting repeatedly with the Wuhan Virus task force trying to get masks
and ventilators to as many cities as possible.
This is his primary focus but, naturally, other issues do arise. One of his aides is in the Oval Office and
articulates, “Sir, don’t you think we need to start thinking of the economy?”
“I’m not worried about
that. Before this started, the economy
was motoring along. It’s suppressed now
but it’ll be ready to explode once we know what’s going on and solve the
problem of the Wuhan Virus.”
“There is no doubt that some
industries will show that massive boom but others won’t come back at all.”
“Businesses were hiring before
this and giving raises.”
“Respectfully Mr. President, history
has shown that although there is a boom after a crisis, it never gets back to
pre-crisis levels.”
“Just look at the numbers. They are beautiful numbers. 54% were hiring. 24% of businesses complained their number one
problem was finding people to hire.
That’s because the unemployment rate was so low so there was too small a
selection. Any economist will tell you
that a lower supply means higher price; that is why wages went up. You don’t believe me; look at how 31% of
businesses were giving raises.”
“An economy is successful when
it’s producing a lot of stuff. You
brought manufacturing back to America.
We were making stuff again but now we’ve stopped making stuff so the economy
has collapsed.”
“We will produce stuff again.”
“I’m afraid the longer you draw
this out, the harder it will be to get to that point again.”
“I appreciate your input but
I’ve met with some really smart people and unfortunately, this is the best course
of action.”
“May I speak frankly sir?”
“Of course you can. Why do you think I have you as my aid? You should always be honest and forthcoming
with me.”
“With the spending package you
just approved, you made it almost impossible to ever hit those numbers
again. They are already working on a
fourth package. Do yourself and every
American a favor and veto it. Your base
is fed up with the same excuse that you had to do it to help so and so. First,
it was the second omnibus bill because they played you with increasing military
funding. Since they did that, they got
an increase across the board in all the waste they’ve been peddling for
years. We tried to help small business
then you let Pelosi put in all that pork.
Sure, you eliminated some of it, but you should have eliminated all of
it. Now, Pelosi knows how to get one
over on you because you’re not willing to do what it takes to protect the
economy even amidst this pandemic.”
“You weren’t kidding about being
frank.”
“I’m sorry sir but I just don’t
understand. You have always been good
about seeing through their traps. I
don’t know how you missed this one. Open
the economy. I’m begging you.”
“Duly noted but there are other
matters I need to attend to.”
“Thank you for your time Mr.
President.”
“Thank you for your honesty and
advice.”
As he left, he knew that the
President wasn’t going to listen but now he could rest assured that he at least
tried.
The aid wasn’t the only one that
smelled the blood in the water and weakness with the president. A high ranking New York Times official whom
we will call ‘Mary’ was in a staff meeting.
Her tone was somber as she announced, “Okay, as you all know, three
years ago, we were calling people like Mark Levin and Dan Bongino ‘conspiracy
theorists’ for suggesting that there was a FISA warrant out on the Trump
campaign. We have tried to deny it long
enough but with these FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests, it is
undeniable that they were right. They
even released the heavily redacted FISA on Carter Page.”
Someone blurted out, “Yea, and
the recent IG Horowitz report found 17 gross errors and omissions.”
“Yes, but there is good news.”
“For being wrong?”
“Yes, an even more recent IG
Horowitz report found that the FBI frequently doesn’t verify information using
the Woods Procedure before getting a FISA.
They lie to FISC (FISA Court) all the time.”
“How is that good news?”
“Now, we can say that it is true
that there was a FISA on Carter Page but this isn’t an anomaly or an exception;
it’s just what the FBI does. There was no political bias here just the FBI
being the liars that they are and abusing their power by illegally spying on
people like they always do.”
“You’re saying that if it’s a
pervasive broad problem then it’s not a political hit against Trump?”
“That’s exactly what I’m
saying.”
A woman in the group replied, “I
don’t think it’s common practice for an FBI lawyer to change an e-mail to make
it seem like evidence for the FISA when really the e-mail said the exact
opposite. That happened with Carter
Page. They had an e-mail from the CIA
saying that he was a confidential informant for them but they told the FISC
that the CIA Claimed that he was NOT a confidential informant for them. I don’t think that’s normal and if it is;
it’s pretty scary.”
“Don’t get lost in the
details. The general public doesn’t know
this in detail. This is what needs to be
done so that we can still claim people like Bongino and Levin are still
conspiracy theorists.”
The guy parroted, “They got
lucky to be sort of right about the facts but wrong about the analysis.”
“Precisely.”
The woman retorted, “I think
you’re forgetting that the FISA powers have expired and they’re going to vote
soon if they’re going to renew them. If
we put this out there, then they may vote ‘no’ on letting the FBI have this
power.”
“That is why I want you to
stress that it’s lower level officials that did this.”
“That way we exonerate our
contributor Jim Comey?”
“Now you’re getting it.”
“But the Carter Page FISA was
handled at the very highest echelon of the FBI.
We have texts and documents proving that.”
“Again, not something the
general public knows. Don’t make the
mistake the people know as much as you do.”
The New York Times unofficial
sister paper, the Washington Post, is having a similar meeting on a similar
topic. This shouldn’t be too surprising
as the two papers seem to parallel each other often, which has led some to
believe they plan it. An executive at
the Washington Post tells her team, “It’s amazing how much has happened in two
months. With Russian collusion, it took
three years for the conspiracy theorists to be proven right. With the Coronavirus, it took two months.”
A male in the group exclaimed,
“What do you mean?”
“We need to talk about how we
called Tom Cotton and others ‘conspiracy theorists’ for suggesting that Covid19
came from a Chinese lab.”
“We’ve already covered
that. I even remember the date. There was a February 17 article calling him a
racist and a xenophobe for that comment.”
“Back then, our narrative was
the Trump overreacted to the virus. We
and the Democrats were encouraging people to go out and go eat in
Chinatown. From coast to coast, from New
York mayor De Blasio and Senator Schumer to Speaker of the House Pelosi to the
mayor of New Orleans all telling people not to listen to the racist Trump and
Fox News as the Coronavirus is not even worse than the flu.”
“But they are racists and
xenophobes.”
“Not for the travel ban and
closing the borders like we and Bernie Sanders said. We have pivoted away from that now. Yes, they are still racists and xenophobes
but we no longer use this as an example.”
The boy looked confused so a
female co-worker chimed in, “So then what do we do moving forward.”
“We are going to write an
article about the origins of the virus.
We need to get ahead and tell the world that the origin story is shaky.”
“Wouldn’t that corroborate
Cotton?”
“No, Cotton made it sound like
it was deliberate. We are going to
highlight that it wasn’t deliberate wrongdoing by the Chinese. Don’t use precise and definitive terms. Instead of asserting that it may have come
from a Wuhan lab, say that scientists haven’t ruled out an accident at a lab in
Wuhan.”
“They just accidentally released
a deadly virus because of the bats they had in there.”
“Again, you need to ease the
blow. Instead of just mentioning it’s a
deadly bat virus, remind people that the bats were being collected for a
scientific study. People love science
and they are quick to forgive accidents.”
“That is what Cotton said
though. He said it was good science and
bad safety. That’s why Cotton called it
worse than Chernobyl. Chernobyl wasn’t
deliberate either; it was an accident just like you’re saying this might have
been.”
“That is why we are going to say
that Cotton is still a crazy conspiracy theorist. Yes, it might have originated in a lab but
this isn’t anything like Chernobyl.”
“You just said it was an
accident at a facility that led to worldwide health issues. That is exactly what happened in Chernobyl
except the nuclear fallout only affected Europe whereas this affected the whole
world. You might not call it worse than
Chernobyl but your explanation insinuated that.”
“Let the readers decide for
themselves what we’re insinuating.”
Back at the White House,
President Trump is talking with his Wuhan Virus task force. He takes an aside, “Can you believe
this? Axios is saying that we downplayed
the threat. I took action before anyone
wanted to acknowledge this. In fact,
while the Democrats were impeaching me, I was calling a ban from China to slow
the spread of this to America.”
“Yes, Mr. President. We all know that but this is what the media
and Democrats do. They have been so
thoroughly humiliated and proven wrong that they have to go to the other extreme
to overcompensate and make us, by comparison, seem like we were on the wrong
side. They have been doing it for almost
two hundred years so I don’t anticipate it stopping any time soon. “
During the task force, President
Trump is multi-tasking. He’s listening
to the advice going forward in combating the pandemic but he’s also overlooking
briefings on other matters. He picks which course of action of the many
proposed they are going to take and then leaves the room. As he gets back into the Oval Office, he
tells his secretary to get Larry on the phone.
Larry is the aid he had spoken to a couple days ago who was very blunt
in saying that the Democrats were trying to trick him again. At the time, President Trump didn’t want to
hear it but after what he just read, he wasn’t so sure. The secretary had no problem finding Larry
and patched him through to the president.
Larry started, “Yes Mr. President.”
“California Governor Newsom just
said at a press conference that he absolutely sees this as an opportunity to
change the way we do things and put forth progressive policies and increase
spending.”
“He had the wherewithal to
pretend that it was bipartisan but I’m glad you saw through that lie.”
“It’s not just California but
South Carolina Congressmen Clyburn also admitted that it was a tremendous
opportunity to achieve Democrat spending goals.”
“That’s the one I’d be more
worried about Mr. President.”
“Why’s that?”
“Newsom has been attacking you
from the get go. Yes, he was nice long
enough for you to give him a navy hospital ship even though, despite having the
highest population, California did not have the second highest cases or
deaths. The other ship going to New York
makes sense since they lead the pure numbers in both categories but California
didn’t deserve the ship. You also gave
them a lot of supplies. Now that they
are so well equipped, he can go back to attacking you. Clyburn, on the other hand, threatened you.”
“If I don’t give them what they
want, they’re going to investigate and prosecute me.”
“Make no mistake about it, they
will impeach you again over this.”
“The first one made them look
horrendous and distracted the country from stopping this virus. I don’t know if they’re dumb enough to try
that again but then again just when I think they can’t get any dumber, they
oblige.”
“This time there are
victims. With Ukraine, the Ukrainians
didn’t feel like victims so it was a tough sell. Now, you’re going to have tens of millions
unemployed over this. People will be
hurting. There are clear cut victims and
they’re all going to look for someone to blame and for the next seven months,
it’s all going to be you. Then, the
economy will be destroyed because you pushed us off the fiscal cliff with the
two trillion dollar spending package. If
you sign phase 4, then we’re even in bigger trouble than we were and the
recovery will take decades. They’re not
going to look as bad. The only way to
stop them is to stop listening to them and falling for their trap. You’re going to be impeached anyway so just
open the economy so that people can go back to work and the markets can return
to near record highs.”
“That may increase the number of
cases and deaths.”
“Respectfully sir, those numbers
will go up regardless as has been proved by the last two weeks. Everything is a trade off. Either there are a lot of cases and people
die from Wuhan Virus and the unemployment rate is like 20% or people die from
Wuhan Virus and there are a lot of cases and unemployment is at like 5%.”
“Those aren’t very good
options.”
“No, but they are the only two
you have Mr. President. You’ve been
fooled by the so called experts. I’m not
sure how you listened to the UN organization models. They have consistently been so wrong about
climate change and you’ve expertly seen through the bullshit. Then, when the same dumbasses use the same
models created by the same discredited people, you all of a sudden believe
them. Shutting down the economy for the
Wuhan Virus is the same thing that Global Warming Activists have been saying
for decades; we need to do this just in case the models are right. The ‘this’ is always catastrophic
dismembering our way of life and our economy over a hunch. It’s time you use
the same skepticism you have for global warming or climate change or whatever
people are calling it now as you do for the Wuhan Virus reaction.”
“You really think I got
fooled? I don’t think I’m believing
something that isn’t true. This virus is
serious.”
“Yes, it is seriously contagious
and fairly lethal but the reaction is worse because mass hysteria, panic and
unemployment are also detrimental to people’s health. There are two ways to be fooled; First,
believe what is not true and second, refuse to believe what is true. You believe the models that are not true and
you refuse to believe that the Democrats and liberals finally got one over on
you. Quite frankly, sir, you’re guilty
of both.”
“I’ve never been a fan of
Kierkegaard.”
“Existentialism was never my cup
of tea either but, in this case, it fits.”
“I’ve used some good quotes from
questionable characters too. If
something is sage then it doesn’t matter who said it.”
“I would agree.”
“You are definitely in a
minority on this one Larry but that doesn’t mean you’re wrong. I have a lot to think about.”
“I’m glad you seem to be contemplating it more. You’re a brilliant man sir; I trust you’ll
find the right course of action.”
“Ha, guilt tricks.”
“See, you’re already seeing
through people’s ploys.”
“Touche. Have a good night.”
“Good night Mr. President.”
As Larry hung up the phone he
shook his head. Given that phase 3
passed, it may be too late to stop the real travesty to come. He fully expected to see an economy of
negative interest rates like they have in Europe and shuttered at the
thought. He meant what he said about
President Trump being a brilliant man but even he may not be able to get out of
the mess that he created by listening to ‘experts’ who relied on false data and
made highly impactful decisions based on them.
