Trump and Orban. . . a marriage made in hell


Donald Trump believes he is capable of greatness. He believes he can stick an eight-foot long two-by-four in between a large rock and the world and with a hefty pull he could leverage the world twenty degrees to the Right. 

He believes he can do all of this without objection from the American people. He believes he will harness the power over people to lead them like sheep to be sheared and left to shiver on the cold snowy meadows of November. 

He is visiting with Viktor Orban, a Hungarian lawyer and Prime Minister of Hungary in Mar-a-Lago. Orban moved Hungary from a democracy to an authoritarian country and has the admiration of Donald Trump. Trump has told Orban, "You've done a good job, and you're respected all over Europe. Probably, like me, a little bit controversial, but that's okay," 

This, then, is the platform that Trump has been working from for several years. He is determined to rid America of its democracy and give himself the power and longevity he believes he so richly deserves. This is the candidate - riddled with serious character warts and bumps, felony convictions, psychological liar, et al - that the GOP/MAGA political party has chosen to be America's next President. This is the death they have chosen for us!

And the only real complaint they have about poor Joe Biden is he might be too old to last another four years. I thought that's what we had Vice-Presidents. There is no way I will accept that there are so many who agree with this insanity that Trump can be that close in the polls. 

Or, am I that far out of step with the politics in America?

Is America about to be controlled by an authoritarian mad man and his flying monkeys in the ranks of QAnon, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and the like? 

God, you can make up my bed now. . . I'm about ready.

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
