Meet Joe. You don’t really want to. But it’s visiting time at the old folks home, and even in the senile wing it's nice for them to see a few pink blurs making noises that they can no longer understand.
You’re a good, Christian American, so you want to do the right thing. Spending a little time making friendly noises isn't going to hurt. Also, Nurse Kamala is there. Looking over his shoulder. She's a "coloured" woman so you feel you should humur her too. Also, Joe could get a promotion. Yes, even at his late stage of life and mental competence. So he’s not a complete nobody just yet.
Nurse Kamala certainly hopes he gets his promotion, because it could be to "President of the United States." Yes, I know, that’s crazy, but it's not just in Joe's imagination. It’s 2020, you know, a pretty weird year, and you really shouldn’t be so naive as to expect things to make sense anymore. They won't.
Nurse Kamala has a beautiful smile. She flashes it at you as she bends over to change Old Joe’s bib. She’ll deal with his colostomy bag later.
Old Joe likes Nurse Kamala. He thinks she is his old friend Barack, the "mainstream African-American" guy who was "articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking." Old Joe hung out with him for eight years straight. But Barack never visits him anymore. Golf, I think.
Nurse Kamala has been detailed to look after Old Joe for the next few weeks. The best personal care. She's good at that and has a long track record of it.
Whether Old Joe gets promoted or not, the time period she'll be looking after him should be pretty much the same length. Nurse Kamala has little doubt of that.
A few months back, Old Joe’s family were extremely worried about Nurse Kamala. They hid a mini video camera in his room and saw something like this:
But they didn't call the police. They decided it was probably just a new massage therapy that all old White folks can look forward to some day.
Plus Nurse Kamala and her best friend Nurse Hillary knew all about their "Ukrainian banking arrangements," so there was no need to say anything to anyone about anything. Was there?
Joe used to be quite a guy back in the day, and there’s still a little twinkle in his eye. But while that twinkle is fading into a soupy blur, the one in Nurse Kamala’s eye is growing ever brighter and sharper.
She can’t wait to push Old Joe’s wheelchair into the Oval Office, as she has her own “colostomy bag” to empty. That is her agenda. She is keen to smear that all over the country for the next four or possibly even longer.
Yes, Nurse Kamala is keen to make all the White people remember her. This is because her live matters. Theirs not so much. That's just the way it is now. Get used to it.
You just can't get the staff, or you can if you hire Nurse Kamala.
