"Losers" are Democrats who play by the rules. . .


There are still two political parties in America, 
but one of them is not at all like the other!

It is no longer a choice between a Democrat and a Republican. It is now a choice between right and wrong.

It is simply a fact that one political party has flatly stated they are in favor of demolishing our democracy and forming an authoritarian form of government.  The Republican Party of Trump has shown by their actions that manipulating state election results is perfectly within their rights. They have removed long-term election officials from their jobs and replaced them with loyal Republicans - whether they have experience or not.  The end game, of course, is to win by any means. 

The Republican approach to any election or any manner of governing seems to be to do "whatever works and whatever feels good."  Right and wrong is passé as far as they are concerned. In their new plan book, winning is definitely the only option. Losing is for Democrats who play by the rules.

Republicans like Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Michael Flynn, and current elected congressional members such as Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor-Green, Matt Gaetz, Mo Brooks, Kevin McCarthy, and others are flagrantly thumbing their noses at House and Senate rules. They know it, their fellow Senators and Representatives know it, and the people of America also know of their traitorous actions.

Benedict Arnold showed his disdain for his country and paid the price for it. Today, when a Republican member of our congress does it, not so much! It says we have so much to apologize to Arnold for what was done to him because, according to Republican rule, there is no such thing as treason and no such people as traitors.

So, why have we allowed this destruction of our democracy and rule of law to continue? Our Department of Justice is about as effective as Marshall Matt Dillon when a worn out and thirsty bunch of  Texas drovers  invade his town of Dodge City, Kansas on a hot and dusty night. Kansas rules were meant for Kansans, not Texans. And today, Republican rules are meant for Republicans, not the rest of us. If you don't like it, grab yer guns, pardner!

We had best get our act together before the next election. If the tactics coming from the plan book of Republicans comes to fruition, we will lose everything.

Because they say they ain't aimin' to lose another election. . . come hell or fake elections!

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
