Trigger Warning

Trigger Warning. This post is crude and insensitive. And satirical, mostly.

Senate Cloakroom . Night 

Hey, I want to float something while we’re waiting. I’m not announcing; I’m just sorta thinking out loud.

What if we had a National Day of Thoughts and Prayers for Americans who get killed with guns … hear me out … we take a day off work … people barbecue or go shopping … maybe mount a parade with school children marching alongside black and brown people who push shopping carts; there’s floats with Jewish, Muslim, and Sikh Americans worshiping; a float with young folks dancing and then running in circles and falling down; maybe one with nine black people sitting in a prayer circle with a young White gentleman who rises every half block or so and shoots them all. Again, this is just a sampling … there are plenty of options, like movie theaters, white churchgoers sitting in pews, Members of Congress playing baseball … the list goes on … you get the idea.

I know this could take a while to catch on, but if we focused all our thoughts and prayers onto one national holiday, maybe we could stop having our daily routines interrupted without warning, and quit having to put on our sad face and pretend all this is a fuck we care to give.

Think about it. We don’t have to decide today. Let me know if you want to cosponsor.
