How The Congressional GOP Is Annihilating Our Democracy

Minority Leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, said, "The attack on our Capitol was provoked by the president."  He also was quoted as saying, "Trump was practically and morally responsible for the Capitol attack."

Today, however, he is rethinking his story and is opposing the commission's investigation of the entire matter.





Minority Leader of the House, Kevin McCarthy, had an "expletive-laced phone call with the then-President Donald Trump while the Capitol was under attack. He was begging Trump to tell the rioters to stop the attack and go home.

The response from Trump was, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are," according to lawmakers who were briefed on the call afterward by McCarthy.

Those who could see Trump during the attack said he was in a "joyous mood"..."like he was happy and excited."

Today, these three pillars of leadership have decided they want nothing to do with the newly-formed commission to investigate the insurrection on our Capitol.  They have found that the commission will have subpoena powers to call anyone in to testify.  Of course, the quotes (as shown above) will make them all look guilty as sin. Ah, and there be the rub!

In order for the commission to begin it's work, both houses must vote to give it the green light. It is unfathomable that the GOP leadership and many of their members in the U.S. House and Senate could stop this commission from doing their job.

Instructions from McCarthy and McConnell have already gone out to their members saying how damaging to the Party it will be if the investigation comes to fruition.

America, we are watching the total annihilation 
of our rule of law and system of justice
by the Grand Old Republican Party of Trump!

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
