So, would a dictator really be so bad?

The End May Be Here In 32 Days!

Let's try to look at November 5, 2024 as the end of a democracy or the beginning of a Trump/Vance disaster. Let's pause and try to be adults about this. Practically none of us has ever lived under a dictatorship before and I, for one, have no idea what it will be like. Maybe the "big guy" will finally loosen up and treat us okay. Maybe he will be so happy to finally get his long awaited crown and scepter that he will be nice guy. Maybe? It could happen. He might be a completely different guy as a real dictator. After all, he's only "played" a dictator - he's never really been one before.  

We need to give him some time to get into the job. He might have to learn a few "on the job" secrets. I'm betting he's never really jailed an Attorney General before. He probably hasn't even exported a group of immigrants before - much less two million. And what about jailing all of his political enemies? I bet no one has done that before, either. 

Then there is that tricky maneuver of cutting off everyone's Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, Food Stamps, and tax cuts to the middle class. Holy Cow! Who's ever heard of firing the entire Justice Department before? This guy can probably do it all!

No one can say he won't be fired up and on-the-ground- running when he gets to the Oval Office. 

Everything looks  like "a go" for the "big guy."

Now, I suppose that crazy Harris will show up at the front door of the White House with all of her belongings in the moving van and want to unload. . . right now!

To be adults about this, I suppose we'd have to let her in. 

Just to show her I don't mind her being here, I'll show her around after I've rolled out the spectacular new red carpet and handed her the "keys" to the world.. . . and my undying gratitude!

Meanwhile, he is welcome to run his dictator schtick past us again, only in his new country of residency.

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
