Hi there! Well, I must admit that I enjoyed creating one of my characters more than usual today. The ex-president and his minions (more about them in a moment) claimed that 87,000 IRS agents are going to be armed with AK-15 rifles and coming to kick down your doors. That is so outrageous that it is almost funny — until you factor in the consequences.
And someone on the news said that Attorney General Merrick Garland was like a pit viper taking on Trump. But I think he’s more like the big-eyed, unassuming mongoose. The daring little creature takes on the cobra snakes for lunch. No kidding! So I gave our General Mongoose an eye patch. Because clearly, this is not his first rodeo.
In the real world, though, the paranoid branch of the Trump party will be nervously hovering from window to window in their homes with their own military-grade rifles in hand. Just let a stranger come up to the door to ask for directions or the letter carrier in rainy-day-gear make her rounds. Someone will eventually die for Trump’s careless words.
Now about Trump’s minions. Have you ever seen Senator Chuck Grassley wearing jeans? My first thought is the guy is just two years from 90, and yet. there he is — looking like a dried--up Grasshopper, hawking Trump’s attack on the poor IRS employees. Of course, there was the ever-present humongous Texas-sized Slug. Can you guess who he is? And then there is the Roly Poly Southern Crustacean who is pretty disgusting in his own right.
I think I might start off my Magic Realism appetizers this way. What do you think?
Okay, enough of this let's go to our fantasy.
