All hands on deck, the ship's going down. . .


A Farewell to the Republican Party of Trump

 Blood on their hands and hate in their heart
The nation be damned, they'll tear it apart!
They're neck-deep in trouble and struggling to live.
Their future is shaky, they've nothing to give.

It's all hands on deck, the ship's going down.
Not enough jackets, who's going to drown?
Each man for himself  - it ends with a yell!
The Party's kaput - they'll all go to hell.

They woke up in Hades, soaked to the gills;
No fancy dining and no fancy frills.
democracy haters who fought the bad fight,
now roasting their butts by hell's fire light!

(Not good poetry, but I'll claim it)
John Watson


The Republican Party of Trump is, for all intents and purpose, kaput. They have given it their all, but their all was too small. 

What did they have to offer America? A constitution that they had torn into shreds? A democracy that looks an awful like the autocracy Russia's Putin brags about? An election that isn't really the voice of the voters? An earnings gap between the haves and the have-nots that is wider than the Grand Canyon? A tax system that excuses the rich from paying their fair share? The nation's Legislative and Judicial branches that makes decisions based on corporations and money?

The Republican Party of Trump was designed to lose. It could not see beyond its own selfish wants and its own deplorable hatred of anyone who didn't look like them, think like them, and play like them. They are an assortment of bigots, racists, narcissists, and pathological liars.

America's founders allowed for their kind of treason. They wrote into the constitution the guard rails to keep the traitors on track - or pay the price.

Let's not take our foot off the gas pedal now. We have exposed this crop of would-be coup attackers and we must see it through to the obvious conclusion!

"When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action. When you desire a consequence you had damned well better take the action that would create it."  "We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us." "We are free to choose our paths, but we can't choose the consequences that come with them."

Evidently, the Republican Party of Trump doesn't subscribe to the consequences of anything foreign to their thinking.

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
