McCarthy, Scalise, and Stefanik (assumed). . . Top Three House GOP "Big Lie" Believers


Rep. Liz Cheney has been removed from the third highest GOP position in the U.S. House of Representatives by a voice vote and a "here's your coat, what's your hurry."  She had the audacity to say that the 2020 election was not stolen from the former president. She told reporters this morning that she "will do everything she can to make sure that Trump never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office."

When Trump responded with a promise that he would find another Republican to run against her in her 2022 primary in Wyoming, she said, "Bring it on!"

I just don't think these wack-a-doodles who are carrying the flag of lies for their former president know which direction the sun comes up. There are approximately 100 Republicans in the U.S. House who have said they are ready to march in defense of the "regular" Grand Old Party.  That's a good-sized crowd!

If Elise Stefanik is voted in to replace Cheney, that will put the top three House leaders in the Trump camp. They will continue to spread the word that the election was stolen and the "Big Lie" is alive and well.  This will make an excellent recipe for a "civil war" within the Party.  All because their former president is making Kool-Aid in 55-gallon barrels and rolling them down the halls of congress! 
 
McCarthy told the media on Monday that the Party must unite and accept Trump's "Big Lie."  Last week, Sen. Graham said, "the Party cannot move forward without Trump."

Today, as McCarthy exited the White House, he said, "I think everybody has accepted that the election was won by Biden and is a done deal."

Tomorrow. . . Who knows what they'll say?

The remnants of the Grand Old Party are struggling to pull itself together, but more than 150 members of the "original Party" are threatening to either kick the extremists out or they will start a new Party. That will take some doing. . . and probably an internal civil war like no one has even considered yet. 

However, they should also be well on their way toward plans and policies for the 2022 mid-terms. There will be votes to whip, More lies to tell, more visits to Mar-a-Lago, and bodies to count. At the same time, there will be civil war plans, uniforms to design, MAGA/Cheney caps to consider, skirmish lines to draw, and - again -  bodies to count.

The Trump acolytes have their hands full, but just maybe that will be a good thing.  Now if we could just find something out of the country for Trump to do...for the next eight or nine years!

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
