Have You No Sense of Decency, Senators?

Ol' Mitch McConnell





Ol' Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in 2016 that any U.S. Supreme Court Justice lost during a Presidential Election Year would be replaced by the new president.

Ol' Senator Graham said the same thing, and Ol' Senator Cruz also said the same thing.  Can you believe it?  Well, as it turns out, nobody else can believe it either.  These fine Southern Gentlemen were just shuckin' us, folks.  They have switched from  hyperbole to hypocrisy in a southern boy minute.

Hypocrisy is the trademark of these three senators, and in due time we will see how many more are lurking in the right-wing ranks of the U.S. Senate, as well.

Literally moments after the passing of  Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Ol' Mitch fired off a tweet that read "there will soon be a nomination on the floor of the U.S. Senate for Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court to replace U. S. Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg."

That was quickly followed by a tweet from the president that read, "We are obligated to confirm a replacement as soon as possible."

HYPOCRISY!  

There is no other word to describe it.  And there are no lower low-lifes than the Republicans in the U.S. Senate who decide to go along with this travesty of justice.  

Joseph N. Welch, Chief Counsel for the U.S. Army when it was under investigation for communist activities by Sen. Joseph McCarthy, said to McCarthy, "Have you no sense of decency, Senator?"  The U.S. Senate needs someone to step up and utter those words to the Senate Majority Leader today!

The year 2020 has witnessed a presidential impeachment in the U.S. House,  an outrageous vote of "not guilty" in the Senate by the GOP Members who closed their eyes and ears to the evidence, a deadly coronavirus pandemic that has killed nearly 200,000 Americans due to the negligence and lies of our president, and now this:  a complete lack of ethics and rule of law as they gear up for a Supreme Court nomination and confirmation that they, themselves, vowed not to do during an election year.

Where does one go when they are already "in the darkest place and time?"  What has happened to "the greatest nation on earth?"

And most important:  Are you supporting this carnage?

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
