Washington Road Rage: Baby Shot In Head During Horrific, Alleged Road Rage Incident
http://www.inquisitr.com/2019822/washington-road-rage-baby-shot-in-head-during-horrific-road-rage-incident/

Grass by Carl Sanburg
Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; I cover all.
And pile them high at Gettysburg
And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.
Shovel them under and let me work.
Two years, ten years, and the passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?
Where are we now?
I am the grass.
Let me work.
(Sadly, DU blockquote won't retain the indentation.)

He has been in office 6 years and hasn't done it yet, but that is part of his diabolical secret muslin plan
