Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog. I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation. Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear. Bear in mind my spelling. I am, after all, only a fly.
Republican Meeting
Political party are not, at least officially, held in the big building where I seek crumbs and listen to policy being discussed. But inevitably folks from each party will gather in a room, maybe before some scheduled meeting, or after such a meeting is adjourned. I seldom bother to fly in because a)they have no crumbs, having snacked at a prior meeting and b)what they talk about is very boring.
This past week I chanced to enter a room seeking crumbs and a few Republicans were in the room, discussing things I thought were very interesting that yon reader might want to know about.
"I'm telling you, Mitch, Liz Cheney is going to lose her seat and there's more," one guy was saying excitedly. "The people are not happy about where this party is going."
Another man jumped up and began to shout. "They think we've let them down. "
The first guy pounded human fist on the table and began to yell again. "Mitch, the base of our party will no longer be fooled by a Mitt Romney or a George Dubya Bush!"
This Mitch guy, who kind of resembled a turtle, just stood silently blowing face winds up his face, a form of human exasperation.
Mitch raised his hand to silence the angry men. "We've gone through this before. We'll get through it again," Mitch said to quiet the angry Republican attendees.
"Not this time," an angry voice at the back shouted. "Do you know what the base has planned to show us their power?"
Mitch put both of his hands on the table, took a sigh, and asked what.
"They are planning to boycott their jobs," the voice said, from a guy who I have seen before, used to be a wrestling coach, is on TV a lot.
"They say that but we all know these people don't do things together. They talk a big game."
"They're mad, Mitch," the wrestling coach went on. "They elected Trump and they will elect him again if given a chance. They call Republicans like you RINOs. And you know damn well your wife is all involved in Chinese businesses. Romney's involved there too and rumors are the Bushes have ties to China. They think we're like the Democrats....which....dammit.....WE ARE!"
"Boycotting their jobs won't make the left wingers like the Trumpsters," the Mitch guy said. "When they can't get a cup of morning coffee because some nonsense baristas don't show up for work, they won't blame us."
Another guy, quiet sort, didn't know his name, piped in. "Senator McConnell," he began, "I have been to many of these meetings and they have leaders and have a rock solid plan. No buses or Ubers, no waiters or waitresses. They plan on staffing hospitals enough to keep them open but few cops in the street. All across this country, Senator, and yes they've got plans to blame BOTH political parties for allowing China to run our country."
At this point I had to fly out to attend another scheduled meeting which I knew would have crumbs.
But a nation boycott your job day? They can't very well fire everybody. It will be chaos.
Yon human readers, be aware. Some of you are tough and fighting back.
And all with no reward of a single crumb.
