Who are Trump's Poll Monkeys?

Political Cartoon by Darko
 
 
 
The woods are frightening, dark and deep,
but he has many lies to keep,
and miles to go before we sleep,
and miles to go before we sleep.
 
 
    America finds herself in a deep, dark and scary wooded area, and it's about time she readjusts her actions on just what to do about this horror.  Continually tossing hand grenades at the president and his gang of deplorables seem to be getting us nowhere.  These "poll monkeys," who help the president's approval numbers reach 43%, must get our immediate attention.  Most would agree if we could remove his support system, he would give up because he operates on an ego that is juiced by his adoring fans.  And, he would be rendered impotent if he had no one to cheer at his never-ending, lie-infested, campaign-style tweets and rallies.  

   Think about it.  Roughly 43% of those who were polled think we are living in a land of sunshine,  free wine, and roses.  Do these people live underground and do nothing but contemplate the lint in their belly buttons?  We hear noise from them, such as,  "just try to impeach the president and we will begin Civil War II."  Or, maybe threats like, "We're armed and ready to fight!"

   This is the attitude that permeates the air these days.    These are the people you see at Trump rallies.  They are the folks that sit behind the president at his rallies, or those who roam the audience with conspicuous side arms, Confederate Flags, and displaying nauseating signs of what would happen if someone declared opposition to their "leader."  All of this should remind us of something that happened many years ago in Europe.  Those thugs thought their "might was right,"  too.)  

   This isn't America any more.  This is a nation that has stumbled and is having trouble getting back to its feet.  And, it is a nation that should have been able to rely on its congress to right the ship, but its congress is only interested in protecting their own butts - and butts of their all-important political party!

   Trump's poll monkeys are easy to spot:  They see no evil, hear no evil, and certainly will never speak of evil.  Watch for them the next time the president needs a big shot of "ain't I great" and stages another "love me" rally.

   Believe me, they will be easy to spot.

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

It's immoral to even let him run for office. . .

  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
