Its All George’s Fault

When did it become a sin for children but fashionable for politicians to lie?

Lying today has become so blatant the politicians don’t feel obligated to deny

But kids on the other hand are expected to toe the line anytime they fib

A stern look from parents or teachers can easily result in a false ad-lib

Loss of privileges, being grounded, or banished to their room seem to always be the results

“But why” is the response as the punishment is doled. It now seems flagrant lying is only reserved for adults

Politicians for years have engaged in this practice. George Washington really didn’t chop down the cherry tree.

Politicians now just look you in the eye, tell their falsehood, and state “they’ll guarantee”

In the past 40 or so years Presidents (and numerous other politicians) have lied to the American people with a straight face

The citizens swallowed the fabrications since it probably didn’t directly concern them rather than calling the bald-faced liars a national disgrace

George H Bush’s “read my lips; no new taxes” was cast into the pool and the people bought it hook line and sinker

Bill Clinton literally came next with his famous “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” causing massive eye rolling with any normal hormonal thinker

George W. Bush a couple years later declared “I’m a decider and I decide what is best”

Such as destabilizing the Middle East in the quest for weapons of mass destruction for which he became obsessed

“You can keep your doctor” stated Obama looking straight into the camera while shoveling out his healthcare plan

The plan that forced people to not only buy his health insurance but to pay for others because you can

“Mexico will pay for the wall” was the rallying cry for Trump in his first campaign

The wall was only partially built and Mexico paid for it with illegal migrants with the number approaching ungovernably insane

So when Biden pardoned his son after saying he wouldn’t, he just added to his already large sackful of lies

He felt obligated to break his earlier statement as his own party had seen to his demise

Kids today have a hard time understanding the value of truth

Apparently it’s okay to openly lie as an adult but not as a youth

So whether it’s George with his hatchet or Joe with his various money laundering schemes

Lies only matter if you’re under twelve or so it seems

An Easy Path To Bipartisanship

Much has been made about the lack of bipartisanship in Congress. The Democrats are too liberal and the Republicans all sit to the right of Genghis Kahn

The ability to achieve anything is accomplished only through threat of government shutdown on a conclusion forgone

The hand wringing is only getting worse as those elected want to control all the balls in their sandbox

Control the box, enrich yourself with pet projects, pork for the large donors, and insider trading upgrading your portfolio of stocks

No one reaches across the aisle, offers a workable solution, or considers the voters

This selfishness has only created chaos at the southern border, the murder of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian soldiers and the blowing of Taps for gasoline motors

However, there exists a pathway to this elusive bipartisanship. It’s simply called shoot a liar

The rules are clear cut. Take any official regardless of party affiliation, caught in a provable lie and throw their name in a rotating bingo cage. Once a year draw a name, stand that person in front of a firing squad and open fire

The day that miscreant is called would be tax day and a homeless vet gets to draw the name

When the person is notified they’re included in the cage they’ll be given a chance to come clean or deny the blame

The name then stays in the cage until their name is drawn, or they “fess up,” resign and disappear

So round and round the cage goes and whose name is drawn nobody knows creating huge Vegas betting odds and loser tears

Once a name is drawn it’s too late. There is no jury trial just a videotape of the proven lie

Then a quick march over to the execution wall as that person chose deceit and greed over truth and its now time to die

Like rats leaving a sinking ship, Washington’s swamp would in no time resemble a ghost town

As both politicians and various influencers climb over each other’s backs before they’re lying at the base of the wall facedown

Those left would strive to work together as America was founded on truth, compromise and individual rights

The day of the lie would be over, Congress would quickly learn to work together and that is what unites
