The current POTUS visits a remote northern Indian reservation. With news crews following him around as they tour the place, the President asks the chief if there was anything they need.

"Well," says the chief, "We have three very important needs. First, we have a medical clinic but no doctor to man it."

The POTUS whips out his phone, dials a number, talks to somebody for two minutes and then hangs up. "I've pulled some strings. Your doctor will arrive in a few days. Now what was the second problem?"

"We have no way to get clean water. The local mining operation has poisoned the water our people have been drinking for thousands of years. We've been flying bottled water in, and it's terribly expensive."

Once again, the POTUS dials a number, yells into the phone for a few minutes, and then hangs up. "The mine has been shut down, and the owner is being billed for setting up a purification plant for your people.

Now what was that third problem?"
The chief looks at him and says, "We have no cellphone reception up here!"

At least that CHIEF spoke the t***h.

Good one Hack, don't worry you'll be fine. Typical government promises, not worth their weight in s**t.

I enjoyed that one Hack.
It rings so true.

Hack, I agree with Fred. You should be in no trouble. The same farcical story appeared a while back during the last administration, with the previous Chief as the vacuous and specious politician. After all, stories about lying and/or hyperbolic statements from politicians are often 'one size fits all'.

BF, I agree with that 100%. Thanks for the reassurance. I did post it in the attic and haven’t heard nothing about it yet.

Hack that was pretty funny and as all good jokes it has a basis in t***h I think there must be a lot of places that don't have cell service based on the political promises that have been made.

You’re probably right DC. That’s a good excuse to use as to why some Americans aren’t getting things they need, or you could get off your butt, and go to those people and make sure they’re understood.

I don't think the problem is they are misunderstood more like they are just being ignored or worse just fooled into thinking someone might actually care what they need when they really don't
