 What happens after the Blitzkrieg?

Let's assume Trump is going to win the presidency again. I know, bite my tongue.  But, when you look at the polls, it's a dead heat.

The GOP blitzkrieg has begun: a tactical and coordinated effort by his conspiracy theorists, liars and felons to spread false and misleading information.

The rest should be easy. It worked before and the believers he fooled before seem to have increased in number. The proverb that says  "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" isn't working on these people. They just don't feel any shame no matter how many times he fools them.

So what will America be like under his autocratic dictatorship this time? Most of his worker bees are either in jail, on their way to jail, or won't take a chance on anything that may get them close to a jail! The "old reliables" are probably still hiding in the weeds and ready to give it another go, but they will be few in number.

No, the ones to save his butt this time will be the hard core voters, the domestic terrorist groups, and the - God forgive me for saying it   -  evangelicals. Never has there been a bigger gunnysack full of misguided, misinformed, misfits in recent time!

The earth will rumble, the mountains will slide into the sea, the oceans, lakes and rives will dry up, old women and men will bury their life savings in the hills, little children will hide in their root cellars, other nations will close their borders to all Americans as they try to escape, stock markets will deal with only those who have billion-dollar portfolios, people of color will be re-classified to 3/5 status and women to 4/5 status as human beings, mile-high walls will be built to keep all immigrants from entering the country, schools will be under the control of the American Republican Party, and so on. . . 

But, hey. . . we'll still have Rip-Roarin' Rally Night in the Rose Garden every Saturday with the Commander-in-Chief on center stage performing his latest lies and cross-burnings.

It's gonna' be great.

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
