Remarkable!

At our old place, I left birdseed out in front every morning. Soon enough, I noticed I had customers! Birds would sit on the power lines along the street and wait, every morning. Sometimes I’d see 16 or 17 of them all in a row up there, waiting for me and my birdseed! There were black phoebes, house finches, mourning doves, and a blue jay or two.

My husband said that when he’d sit outside, reading, on the deck, he’d hear the distinctive black phoebe chirp and sure enough there’d be one on the chimney, sitting and waiting - and, I guess, alerting. He said he thought I was being paged. Just on a hunch, I went out front and sure enough, the place where I always dropped birdseed was empty! I was being called to resupply!

Amen! What a great graphic!

Says it all and sums it up.

Yep.

I have also heard "Jabba the Barr."

I apologize for not knowing who came up with that. But I know greatness when I see it!

So basically we should just shrug and "let this one go"

to use the phrase The Asset used while leaning on Comey to turn a blind eye to Mike Flynn’s betrayals?

I’m just concerned about what will be in the history books. We have it in the books and on the books that Clinton was impeached basically for lying about a sex act with a consenting adult. The Dem-controlled Senate did not vote to convict, so the CONS who owned the House weren’t able to remove him from office. And, granted, with the GOP owning this Senate, even if this Democratic House impeached, we’d likely see the same outcome.

But that impeachment stuck. It’s there on President Clinton’s historical record - for all time. For a comparatively insignificant offense - basically because that’s all they could get him on after a four-year inquisition and 60 or 70 million taxpayer dollars going through everything they thought they could find, short of combing through his bellybutton lint?

So what’s the choice then? Must we let trump skate? With no such blemish on his record in the history books? Without that punitive asterisk by his name that denotes his inclusion on that particular “wall of shame”?

With all due respect, my friend, I can’t agree. I don’t think we should just let that one go. Or let trump skate. And yes I know the cost could be high in the next election.* This wasn’t some stupid peccadillo with a consenting adult. He and his were in bed with the fucking RUSSIANS (also known as a HOSTILE FOREIGN POWER)

* I put an asterisk in to add one BIG point about why now is not necessarily, and need not necessarily be, a history-repeating-itself scenario. Conditions are different now. It’s been said that if Nixon had had a Pox Noise behind him as trump now has, he’d have survived Watergate and served two full terms. I think that’s a fair assumption.

But guess what WE have? A reawakened, organized, and energized grassroots platform. A “supergroup” so to speak, of activated forces under the Indivisible banner. The Indivisible movement is well established by now, flowering in every Congressional district in America.

We’re really on it, in my Individible group. We issue directed and well-researched “call to action” emails every week. We meet with our somewhat unruly Congressman every month. We have two “Postcard Parties” a month to put our directives to our House and Senate Reps in writing, we partner with the larger neighboring Indivisible Oregon chapter in multiple ways, and we even have one of our own running for school board next month. Our Direct Action committee chair has been reaching out to other progressive groups and he reported to our leadership meeting yesterday that the reaction is enthusiastic across the board. They want to team up with us. Eager to do so. We’re not rolling over and giving up or going back to sleep.

And similar stuff is going on from coast-to-coast. Indivisible has been publicly credited for the successful blue wave last November that washed 40 republi-CONS out of the House of Reps and gave Democrats the majority again. In our little neck of the woods, we bolstered the re-election of Governor Kate Brown and flipped a state House district in our own backyard.

Dems didn’t have a powerful backing infrastructure during the Bill Clinton persecution, until it was already underway and grassroots efforts started sprouting to lobby Congress to move on. That eventually crystallized into what we now know as MoveOn.org.

So we have tools now. We have muscle now. We also have a track record of the old slogan “getting things done”. Flipping the House of Reps and an army of other improvements at the stage and local level across America, for example. The “Big Woke”, as it were, is on OUR side this time.

Sorry about the length...

Well, isn't The Asset the same guy who is known to have kept a copy of Mein Kampf

at his bedside?

Indeed.

Well he's got some abominations against children going on

against children at the border. Right now.

I hate this!

My poor planet...

Awwwwwwwwwwwww...
