THE WALL, by Pink Floyd, may be played at the US/Mexican border.

How many times have you had this thought recently? I have thought is would be a great idea since last Feb when I went to the protest at the border when the moron came to check out the prototypes. I made a bumper sticker of it over two years ago too.

"Speaking to AFP, Waters explained The Wall is “very relevant now with Mr. Trump and all of this talk of building walls and creating as much enmity as possible between races and religions.” Waters noted the the album is “about how detrimental building walls can be on a personal level, but also on broader levels.”
In July 1990, Waters actually performed the entire album in Germany to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall."

"Waters has long been a critic of Trump’s policies, having displayed images of the then-Republican presidential candidate at shows with the words “charade” and “joker” across Trump’s face. The phrase “Trump is a Pig” has also been projected at Waters’ gigs."

Revenge is so sweet, thank you Cohen!!!!!!

Cohen wants to testify before Dem House on TV in Feb since he wants revenge on tRump. This is like the John Dean and Nixon moment in Watergate. When Dean told us about Nixon and the tapes we finally knew that not only did he know about the crimes, but he ordered some of the crimes. The US public opinion finally turned against Nixon and his base, and that pressured the GOP at the time to turn on Nixon finally.

The fucking moron's base will get a few seeds planted in their tiny, little minds that their dear leader not only knew about Russia's crimes but worked with Russia and this continued after the election. When others testify, like Don Jr, more and more of his cult will turn against him.

The Dems said they would do this and they are keeping their word. We do not need to wait for Mueller's report to hope for his base to wake up to the truth. This IS scaring the fucking moron and he will be angry and dangerous more than he ever has. Find a good spot to hide but keep the party hats near by. Independence Day may be sooner than July 4th.

This is basically a summary from the beginning of Nicole Wallace's show today when she discussed the news with pundits.

If the GOP blocks Mueller's report the Dems can have him testify

to Congress and tell them what the conclusions of the investigation are. Rep. Nadler (Judiciary Comm)just told this to Chris Hayes.

This is one option to get around the GOP blocking Mueller's conclusions from being released to the public and them.

Rep Jackie Speier and others are sending trash they collected to tRump in DC

"Buckets of locally sourced San Francisco trash are heading President Donald Trump's way.
On Saturday, Reps. Jackie Speier, D-Hillsborough, and Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, and volunteers from the San Francisco Dog Owners Group weathered winds and heavy rain to clean up trash from Ocean Beach and Lands End. After a day of collecting trash, Speier and Huffman left two bins behind, labeling "Trump's Trash." They told KQED they plan to bring the trash to D.C and drop it off at the White House."

Speier told KQED it was a stunt — a stunt to "equal President Trump's stunt."

"I'll tell you what's not a stunt," Huffman said. "It's the diapers and the coffee cups and the burrito wrappers and the trash that's piling up in [National] Park Service facilities all over this country because of what President Trump has done. His actions have real-world consequences."

CNN is running Border Security ads paid for by tRump now.

I just saw an anti Pelosi, anti Dems, etc. ad and couldn't figure out what it was about since the midterms are long gone. It turned out that it was paid for by Donald J Trump. So I guess now he is wasting money on ads for his wall/shutdown. I am sure the 800,000 people who aren't getting paid are thrilled by this.

The accused American spy held in Russia has a criminal background

and has had financial crimes in his past. Putin may have dirt on him the Wash. Post reports.

"The Marine Corps found Paul Whelan, the American citizen detained by Russia on espionage charges, guilty of attempting to steal more than $10,000 worth of currency from the U.S. government while deployed to Iraq in 2006 and bouncing nearly $6,000 worth of checks around the same time, according to records obtained by The Washington Post."

"Whelan’s financial problems potentially would have made him a prime target for Russian intelligence services."

"All intelligence services routinely look for people in financial distress who they might recruit or blackmail. An active duty Marine traveling in Russia would have quickly caught the attention of Russian intelligence services, said Dan Hoffman, a former CIA officer who served as the chief of station in Moscow".

"Whelan’s family has maintained he is innocent, and that the Michigan resident and former policeman was in Moscow for a friend’s wedding when he was arrested by members of Russia’s security services in an upscale hotel not far from the Kremlin."

Brown bids farewell to CA...

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/03/us/california-governor-jerry-brown-farewell-tour.html

"Mr. Brown is making the most of it. He is using his remaining days to offer warnings about the future of California and the planet and lessons learned from a half-century in public life, and to talk about a legacy of fiscal restraint — he arrived eight years ago to a $26 billion deficit, and is leaving a $14 billion surplus — and opposition to Mr. Trump. He also delivered some not-so-veiled admonitions for his successor about a recession that he suggested had already started, and a looming assertion of power by interest groups and newly liberated Democratic lawmakers enjoying near historic margins in the Legislature."

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
