The Treasonous Workings of the Dirty Dozen

THE DIRTY DOZEN

OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS


U.S. Senate

Mitch McConnell * Lindsey Graham * Ted Cruz * Ron Johnson * Mike Lee * Josh Hawley * John Kennedy

U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIV

Kevin McCarthy * Jim Jordan * Matt Gaetz * Marjorie    Taylor Green * Lauren Boebert


These are the deplorables of our government.  They have committed atrocities that have amounted to treasonous acts against America, because they carried out their crimes as elected officials of our government. 

There are additional Republicans who barely missed mention here, and I am guessing they are as upset about their omission as the ones who made the list.  Many in their Party believe an honor such as "Dirty Dozen" would be a badge of achievement!

I consider all of those listed above as traitors to their country. They have carried out their activities against America in an attempt to overturn a presidential election in hopes of keeping their Party in power. They used what is now commonly known as "The Big Lie" to convince the American Voters that the former president won the 2020 election.  They each acted - in various degrees - to halt and reassign the electoral college's results to Donald Trump.

If this isn't treason, someone will have to explain to me what treason is.  Any elected official openly defying a national election that was certified to be without fraud by all fifty states is as bad as it gets! Their actions incited a mob of reportedly 10,000 White Supremacists, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, QAnons, and others to storm our nation's capitol.  There were fatalities, serious injuries, damage to the capitol building's windows and doors, and destruction and theft to several offices.

While various law enforcement officials have arrested - and continue to arrest - perpetrators of the mob, the true criminals are wandering the halls of congress. This is not right and we cannot let it continue!

We are either a nation of laws or we aren't. January 6, 2021 will always be a rallying cry for justice to be returned to our government. If these members of congress are allowed to escape prosecution, America can be considered a lawless nation.  

Think about the seriousness of this.  Think about how far down we have fallen as a democracy.  It is mostly true that the Republican Party would rather have something other than a democracy, but we are known around the world as the "shinning city on the hill" of democracy.  We welcome others to our shores.  We aid other nations to become a free democracy.  

Are we going to let this Republican Party change all of that because it doesn't fit their authoritarian world?  If we wanted to live under the rule of one solitary power, we probably would have stayed in England!

I'm sure there is a perfect spot somewhere on this planet for the Party to set up shop and live the life they choose.  

But it ain't here, folks!  Not anywhere west of the Atlantic, east of the Pacific, south of Canada, or north of Mexico.  Because that's where America is, and that's where America will always be!

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
