TONY SAYS:
So, listen to this horseshit. Independence Day, right? The day we celebrate freedom and barbecues… turns into a goddamn disaster movie in Texas. Flash floods, you know? The kind that make you think the freakin’ ocean decided to take a day trip inland.
Twenty-four dead, minimum. At least twenty-five girls missing from some summer camp – Camp Mystic, they call it. Sounds like a place where they teach you how to make friendship bracelets and get swept away by raging rivers. Fuckin’ poetic, huh?
Trump called it “shocking” and “terrible.” Shocking? The guy's seen more scandals than a hooker's got crabs. Terrible? Yeah, well, life’s terrible, Vinny. Get used to it.
Anyway, Abbott, the Texas governor – another one of these politicians who’s all smiles and handshakes until things go sideways. He's sayin’ the feds are helpin’. Probably sending down a couple of guys in suits to take notes and maybe grab a free steak dinner. You know how it is.
This Lieutenant Governor Patrick – he's the one spouting off about the river risin’ twenty-six feet in forty-five minutes. Twenty-six feet! That’s like, three stories, maybe four. Imagine the fuckin’ force. It’s enough to sweep away a whole lotta things, believe me. Including, apparently, a bunch of teenage girls.
He’s tellin’ the parents, “If we ain’t called you, your kid’s okay.” Which is, let’s be honest, some real smooth bullshit. What the fuck kind of reassurance is that? It's like telling a guy his wife is fine, she just "went away for a little while," and oh by the way "her car's in the shop". Fuckin' lowlife.
They got choppers, drones, rescue teams – the whole nine yards. Four hundred, five hundred people lookin’ for these girls. Like a goddamn army. Reminds me of that time we were lookin’ for Paulie’s uncle's car after he "borrowed" it. Took forever and we still didn't find that goddamn Buick.
They even got these "high-profile tactical military vehicles." Sounds fancy, right? Probably just beat-up Humvees with some extra camo paint. The army's got a lotta shit they don't know what to do with.
The problem? No fuckin’ phones. Telecommunication’s down. So, how the hell are you supposed to find these girls? It's like playing hide-and-seek in a blizzard, blindfolded, and everyone's wearing camouflage. Makes you wanna just grab a glass of wine.
This whole thing… it’s just… sad, you know? Makes you think. One minute, you’re having a good time, next minute, you’re…gone. Like that time I almost drowned in that lake up in the mountains, just before I met Livia. Close call. Really shook me up.
So, yeah… Texas. Flash floods. Missing girls. Dead people. Another day in paradise, I guess. Fuhgeddaboudit, unless your kid is one of the missing ones. Then, I’d say you best get yourself a good lawyer. Capisce?
