The Wooden Elephant of the Grand Old Party of Trump

In the cold, still night of Jan. 20, 2017, the Republican Party of Trump wheeled in their secret weapon against America.

Its purpose was the same as that of the Greeks in 1184 B.C. During the Trojan War, they left in ships, leaving behind a large wooden horse as a victory offering. It was hauled inside the walls of Troy, and Greek soldiers descended from the horse's belly after dark to slay the guards and commence destruction of the city.

Thus was born the Grand Old Party of Trump.

Inside a wooden elephant was the indescribable terror that the nation would come to know as Donald J. Trump, President of the United States! After dark, he climbed down from the elephant's belly, slithered into the Oval Office,  and began his carnage on America.

The Republican Party of Trump would reign for four tortuous years. The stench consumed every nook and cranny. The lies came often and insufferably. The corruption hung in the night air like odorous gases from the swamp where his cabinet creatures crawled into power. Together, they and the wooden elephant's inhabitant had commenced their destruction across America.

Most of us survived the four years, but that cretin from the wooded elephant is still with us.  Why is he still around?  Why is the Republican Party of Trump still worshiping at his alter? Why are they still making pilgrimages to his temple in Mar-a-Lago?

The Party is turning itself inside out in order to appease the man/god.  They have thrown to the winds all principles their Party had held as good and decent.  The Party's leaders and loyal supporters have jeopardized the last bit of respect they once held. The "great Trump" has reduced them to a pile of smoldering elephant excrement.

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury (Donald), not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them. . .
The noble (McConnell) hath told you (Donald) was ambitious:
It it were so, it was a grievous fault." 


We must find find a way out of this maze of deceit that has been constructed by the Republican Party of Trump.  It is tearing our country - and our democracy - apart. Donald seems to still be barking out all of the orders!

Worse yet, they know of their demolition - and appear to care not one whit!

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
