He Says He Just Doesn't Get It



The President has called our injured and fallen soldiers "losers."

Opinion by
John Watson

As Retired General  John Kelly, who later became Trump's Chief of Staff, led the President to the grave of his son, who fell in battle, the President looked across the field of America's fallen in Arlington National Cemetery and said, "I don't get it, what was in it for them?

The President once said to his Trade Advisers, "I've got a bunch of fucking generals who are pussies."

These words are coming from the lips of a man who received six deferments (for a heel spur) from  our military draft during the Vietnam War...and became the President of the United States!

Maybe you don't get it, Mr. President, but we do.  Ask any Gold Star Family member what they get.  Ask any veteran what they get.  Ask any patriot what they get.

This goes way beyond what our president does or doesn't get.  The question needs to be put to those who still support President Donald J. Trump.  And the question to them is simple:  "Don't you see that you, as followers of this uncouth, uninformed, patriotic illiterate, and profoundly narcissistic human being become complicit in all of his human flaws, as well?"

We have gone far beyond regurgitating the evils of this man. The sins of the evil will live on simply by the supporters carrying his banner. 

 

How can anyone chose his character flaws over their country?

How can anyone follow him?

How can anyone?

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
