Disruption is the name of the game...

DISRUPTION...a lifestyle foisted upon Americans for nearly four years by this president and his administration.  It has been his political strategy from the beginning  and, to  his credit, has worked perfectly for him, his inner circle, and those Party Members in the U.S. House and Senate.

A schism was created within the long-established Republican Party that became the "Party of Trump."  When Donald J. Trump became President, he found it beneficial to overwhelm the existing long-term GOP model of how things were being done and displace it with disruption and deception.

As his corrupt ways of dysfunctional leadership became obvious to Republicans within the Party, they collectively decided that in order for them to "get along,' they'd have to "go along."  A poorer choice, they could not have made.

All the same, disruption has been the name of the game.  If your ineptness is showing, create a disruption to get everyone to look the other way.  If your unwillingness to lead is showing, give them something else to worry about.  If your lack of success is showing, use bigger and more repetitive superlatives to convince them otherwise.

Disruption will styme onlookers who already have a problem keeping themselves informed.  They can only deal in the here and now - and whatever "facts" that may be handy.  They seldom research for the truth.  Whatever will appear on that little screen on their phone must be the facts.

It is no mystery how this president has been able to lull not only his own Party members but millions of his followers down that road to hell in a handbasket.  We can blame the Russians for hacking our systems with false messages and we can blame too much money in political campaigns that befuddled our voting choices, but when the rubber hits the road we can only blame ourselves for being the most naive people on the planet.  There are way too many in the Republican Party that decided to follow this charlatan to the bitter end.

His quackery, deception, outright lies, corruption, immoral convictions, fraudulent dealings, and overwhelming flaws as a human being make it inconceivable that so many followers could stay so silent.  

But surviving that horrible assessment of the man, in itself, may be his most successful disruption of all.

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
