Trumpsters, Get Yer Gun...

Michael Caputo, Department of Health and Human Services Communications Official promoted a wild left-wing conspiracy that tells us if President  Trump is not re-elected and you own a weapon, you had best buy lots of ammunition now, because it will be hard to find after the election.

That, coming from a mega-millionaire, right-wing lobbyist, and  self-appointed political analyst.  He is, since the Trump take-over, a typical rich, white, hate-filled, egotistical, and ruthless garden variety Republican.

Caputo is a walking, talking clone of Roger Stone and other neo-neanderthal types that have found a new home in the Trump Swamp. They have slithered into the Trump theatre of threats looking for a chance to hatch their authoritarian ideas.  Their goals are far from what a rational-thinking citizen would visualize for America, and they are neck-deep in an unquenchable thirst for money, power, and self-glorification.

BREAKING NEWS...
Even before I can finish writing this, a news update appears on CNN saying our villain-of-the-week has apologized for his hate-mongering conspiracy theory and, due to health reasons, may consider stepping down from his position in the Health and Human Services Department.  It is important to note that Caputo had absolutely no known skills for this elite position Trump handed to him.  (I'm betting it's a "mental" health reason.)

But, that is how Trump checks out these characters:  First: he is looking for absolute loyalty, second: how much money they have, third: how much money they will donate to him, and fourth: can they fake making it look like they know what to do.  Of course, it's a given that they will also be male, old, white, and mega-rich.

That is also why more than thirty of them have come, flopped, and left in less than four years.  Some just disappeared, some were booted out, and some are in the "big house."  I've heard, by the way, that these numbers set an all-time record!

So, we wait and see how Caputo gets out of this predicament, and his prediction that another Civil War will happen if Trump loses. 

It's kind of a damned-if-we-do and damned-if-we-don't kind of deal, isn't it?

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
