700 cities will protest Rosenstein/Mueller firing...

MoveOn has included the firing of Rosenstein in their planned protests across the country if either Rosenstein or Mueller is fired. The protests will occur within 24 hours of the announcement. To see if there is one near you click on the links. This was started in Dec with the possible firing if Mueller during Christmas Recess. At that time 400 cities were ready to take action. Now Rosenstein has been added and the number of cities has almost doubled.

The Dems should be screaming this from the rooftops

but they never learn how to promote anything. The MSM won't give it much airplay since they are all about ratings/$ like they were during the election campaigns in 2016. Nothing has changed. We have our work cut out for us with the midterms. Do not take "the blue wave" for granted. All the elements and factors that got the fucking moron and the GOP elected are still in place.
We MUST all work hard up until the day of the election since NOTHING has changed since the last one. Russia is not deterred and is so still doing what they have been, social media hasn't put any real fixes in place to get rid of fake news and bots, the Kochs/Mercers/NRA/Religious Right are all donating huge sums of money to campaigns, Fux Ruse and Right Wing media is alive and well, gerrymandering is the same except for a few states, MSM still goes after ratings and follows the distractions, the GOP is even more blatantly immoral and the economy is still strong even though this week had a big drop it won't effect people much, etc.

We have to hit the streets and knock on doors, make calls, drive voters to the polls, and donate money in small sums. We can't afford to allow ourselves to become overly confident.

Southern CA is dry and cooking...very bad season

for rain. High temps and dry weather will contribute to another drought and more fires this year.

Nunes said that, "Releasing the memo was just phase one

and next he will be exposing the State Dept.". He said this on Fux Ruse. Does he really expect anyone to give a shit after this over-hyped, distracting nothing burger of a memo which was intended to make Mueller's house of cards go tumbling down?

Once again I ask, "How many GOP reps does it take to screw in a lightbulb?".

Swing a District!

We can win in the midterms but it depends on everyone, everywhere in the country. Check out what is being organized in your specific area.
https://swingleft.org/
It starts with
the House.
Don't despair. Mobilize.

Control of the House in 2018 will be decided by a small number of Swing Districts, places where the last election was decided by a thin margin. Find your closest Swing District and join its team to learn about actionable opportunities to support progressives—and defeat Republicans—in that district, no matter where you live. We can stop Trump and the GOP agenda by working together NOW.

Graham and Flake have spoken out to say

that they are opposed to releasing the memo. Graham said the Senate hasn't even seen it so it it doesn't represent the entire GOP in both chambers as Ryan says it does. Flake is angry since it will cause unnecessary harm to the FBI and our security as a country.

I have been reading and hearing that the Senate has a few GOP Senators who are putting country over party so they have the power to go against the House on issues that require their approval.

Now everyone is down playing the importance of the memo.

They are saying it will not be seen as tumultuous as the W House and GOP have been hyping and were hoping it would be. DISTRACTION!

Nunes MUST GO!

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.
