Just sit here typing to each other?

We all spend a lot of time here doing.. well, ya'll know what.
Crying, bitching, commissuraaating....etc etc etc...
And that is fine.

BUT.. we gotta fight back... Me TOO !!!!


SO I suggest---

Get out and contact your reps and tell them to fight against this coup d'etat and every single nominee il duce puts up for his cabinet.

Call the White House
Call Attorneys General
Write letters to editors.
Contact broadcast media.
Join groups fighting the coup.
Contribute $$ if you can.
Post on social media.
Join protests, marches, strikes, boycotts.
any other type of civil disobedience. .
PROTEST any way possible...

Anything else you might think of...

I can not believe what I'm hearing. The GOP is corrupt. Elaine and Mitch need to go.
We spend 60 billion a year in the black budgets. Then the trusted(?) representatives don't believe them. Any hearings?

As a member of the loyal opposition, it seems the elected GOP Senators and Representatives that do not review the CIA allegations have their heads (multiple choice answer) in the: 1) sand or 2)up their .....

Their fear of critically reviewing what the CIA has presented, means (to me) they are afraid of what may result from the knowledge of what the CIA has to say. Unless I hear otherwise, it means they could not handle the loss of power. What corrupts, power? Power corrupts absolutely.

As I write this note, I've been listening to Rachel. What she has to say is inflammatory.

But, you listen to the OLD CROWS.

With tRump and the GOP, we are in for a roller coaster or a period of instability, which will probably result in a recession/depression. Peoples IRA and other plans will plummet.
