Unfit, Dangerous, and No Moral Compass

An Opinion By
John Watson
You would have to be deaf, blind, and dumb to approve of the corrupt workings of this president.  And yet, his followers are fully prepared to go to the ends of the earth to support him.  

 It is a "done deal" that this president will one day be no more.  He will either be voted out of office or he will leave of his own accord, but he will be gone. America - sleep better, knowing that! 

 What, then, will happen to his followers?  Will they patiently wait for another one to come along and tell them racism, bigotry, white nationalism, corruption, and pathological lying will be okay again? Will someone tell them to link arms and lay siege to America? Will it again be okay to blanket our streets with hate and carnage? Will another authoritarian rise up and call his minions to do his evil bidding?  Evil begets violence, and more violence begets more evil.  America has seen their worst nightmare in 244 years and we can only hope we have learned from it.  

 America was given a nearly perfect blueprint for a nearly perfect union.  We cannot be the generation that misuses, mistrusts, or mishandles their dream.  And we cannot let those among us who wish to do harm to that dream every gain another foothold!
Stefanie Lindquist of Arizona State University has written, "After his joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, President Trump was barraged with criticism from both friends and foes.
 Standing next to Putin, Trump repudiated U.S. intelligence that the Russians interfered with the 2016 election.  Some have since questioned the legitimacy of his presidency, forcing Trump to backtrack several of his statements."
Thomas Friedman, A New York Times columnist, claimed that "President Trump's interactions with Putin were a violation of the president's oath of office."  In a tweet, former CIA Director John Brennan reacted by claiming that "the president's performance 'rises to and exceeds the threshold of 'high crimes & misdemeanors.'  It was nothing short of treasonous."

The most precious thing we can leave to the next generation is something better than what we found.  We are living in a wicked nightmare that we must resolve.

 I will fight with every fiber of my being to not leave this for my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to deal with.

 This president's corrupt administration will end.  Hail to the new president!

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
