Midnight Meme Of The Day!

by Noah

I have a thought. I have lots of thoughts. That's why I do these memes for you every day. But, here's my thought for today:

Since our NRA graft-taking politicians so strongly feel that "Thoughts and Prayers" are enough for our children, not to mention the rest of us, I propose that we immediately disband the Secret Service and the United States Capitol Police, the two main agencies who are responsible for protecting politicians in Washington and elsewhere. My reasoning is simple. If our Congress full of NRA graft-taking scumbags in Washington thinks that "Thoughts and Prayers" are all the action "we the people" need in a country full of AR-15 toting maniacs, then that should be good enough for them as well. After all, it's a concept that's worked so well to date!

I know the politicians will disagree, though, just like they think they're entitled to taxpayer funded healthcare but we and our children are not. They also think they are entitled to all sorts of things they think we are not. For example: Secretary of State Rexxon Tillerson thinks there should be no fracking anywhere near any property he owns, but it's fine for our neighborhoods and our favorite beaches, fishing streams, parks, and schoolyards.

In light of other recent Washington actions, shouldn't my idea be acceptable to Congress? Our current politicians do seem to be undermining and cutting out a lot of departments in Washington, things like the E.P.A., Education, The Interior Department, and others that make our lives better, so why not the Secret Service and the Capitol Police as well? Do we really need both of them and prayer, too? Seems awfully wasteful and redundant to me! The politicians we send to Washington constantly go out of their way to extoll the power and value of prayer. Hey, they must know something, or else why would we have elected them? Since they claim to genuinely believe this, they could even legislate or decree a monthly National Day of Prayer for themselves. That costs nothing! Zero taxpayer dollars! It's, in fact, cheap in very way imaginable. Talk about common sense solutions! Any American who wants to participate can, although, no doubt Señor Trumpanzee will take note of those caught not praying and label them godless, unpatriotic, and un-American.

Let's try it. What's the worst that could happen?
