American Dreams are for Losers...

 
 
   America is changing.
 
   There was a time when congress could vote on a bill and it would pass with an astounding majority.  A margin so huge that it would be "veto proof," which meant that should the president put his veto stamp on it, congress could override the veto and it would become law.
 
   Today, under that same scenario,  all of that wacky voting stuff is evidently unnecessary for our current president.  All that is needed is for the president to announce that the bill is not needed and deserving only of a trip to the waste basket.
 
   The bill in question?  Additional sanctions that were to be placed on Russia for their meddling in our 2016 presidential election. 
 
   Think about this for a minute.  It means that more than 95% of the U.S. House and Senate voted to add the sanctions.  Sanctions for  meddling in an election that, reportedly, benefited this president. Meddling that had been accepted as the truth by all thirteen of America's Intelligence Agencies. 
 
   And Russia's meddling in elections is, reportedly by those same intelligence agencies,  still going on in America, Mexico, and many other countries.
 
   What is our president thinking about?
 
   Tell me which countries deserves sanctions more than a country that is ripping up our democracy -  and doing so, seemingly, with the approval of our president?  A country that appears to have a "blackmail grip" on our president?  A country that has helped divide this country like it has never been divided before!
 
   Our "American Dream" is not just dead...it is worse than that...it has been stated - in so many words and ways - that those dreams are only for losers. 
 
   We have an Administration that casts aside that which does not suit them, and they do it with absolute impunity.  They rule as if they won "dictatorial empire of the galaxy" and "rule by lies" is the new norm.

   Donald Trump, who lost the popular vote by roughly three million, allows his narcissistic mind to believe he earned the crown because he hit a home run,  when we all know he was born somewhere between third base and home plate.  Actually, it was a bunt, at best,  but how he made it to home plate is not what's important right now.  The fact that he and his staff are on a rampage to destroy home plate, dig up the dirt, and ravage the rule book is what's important!

   Maybe when the people realize the only "dream" that's left is primarily for the deplorables, they will stand up and decide to do something about it...like maybe vote in November 2018.

The Trees Kept Voting for the Axe. . .

Opinion by John Watson   "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for  the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them."   - A Turkish Proverb   This proverb reflects the idea that the perpetrator of harm may forget their actions, but the victim will always remember.  Whatever your political leaning, I have found this proverb interesting. For me, it has always found its way into different aspects of  political thoughts and discussions. During this particularly stressful election where our very basic needs are being challenged, The perpetrator has quite easily convinced a large group his base of accepting him because he will get them everything their hearts desire if they will but elect him. It has nothing to do with what he can do for them - it has only to do what they will do for him! He wants what he wants and he asks them to supply the votes. What they will get in return is neither inferred nor

  THE RETRIBUTIONIST He is a legend in his own mind He has promised to call out his Flying Monkeys to wreak hell and damnation on the "enemies of the people." They will be driven from the face of the earth.  Who are they?  The news media. Are there others?  Anyone who won't stand with him.  Once again, Trump is ratcheting up his use of the derisive label to attack the news media. Trump tweeted, "The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase, "Make America Great Again." "They can't stand the fact that this Administration  has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first two years," he continued, "They are truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Orwell "1984" Donald Trump is up to his old, untruthful campaign slogans once again. His attack on America'

Confession of a   Social Climber Before I cash in my chips and curl up my toes, I need to confess to a terrible crime. For more than 86 years I have been a terrible liar about an important moment in of my life. As everyone who knows me is aware, I have always said my home town was Fort Benton. But, I hope everyone will find a way to forgive me for that terrible fib. I admit I was a social climber from birth. I wanted the world to know I was from a large city. When I was born, my parents and and older brother lived in the beautiful town of Virgelle, Montana. We also had a farm across the river from Virgelle and south about five miles on top of the river breaks. We lived there for about three years and then moved back to the farm. So, realistically, my home town is Virgelle. My family lived there  before we lived in Fort Benton.  When I started school, we moved into a home in that beautiful, big, bustling metropolis of Fort Benton, where I was educated. I was so happy and just knew I wou
