"Lock Them Up" was chanted by the Kamala Harris crowd

as she kicks off her presidential bid in CA. I get the feeling the crowd wants the entire tRump admin and GOP enablers to get prosecuted (her skill as a prosecutor).

Can Stone be pardoned?

Are there any states who can charge him with crimes like with Cohen and Manafort?

January 23, 2019

Jackie Speier told CNN that Mueller can use the Cohen threats

to start another charge against tRump. Witness tampering is a felony. I wonder if Mueller wants to touch this or not.

NATIONAL CALL DAY today...call the Senate!

Indivisible has organized and planned today as the day for Americans to call for an end to the shutdown.

First, call your two Senators and tell them to reject Trump’s extreme anti-immigrant bill and instead open up the government now! There will be two votes in the Senate this week, one on Trump’s anti-immigrant bill and one on a clean continuing resolution that would fund the government through Feb. 8. We need to make sure that the Senate doesn’t pay Trump’s ransom. Tell them to:

Vote NO on Trump's racist, anti-immigrant bill.
Vote YES on a clean CR.
Then, check in with your House Representative to make sure they know you oppose Trump’s wall ransom. The House has done its job by passing funding bills and sending them over to the Senate, where McConnell has refused (until now) take any of them up. But we’re hearing House offices are getting calls from conservative groups who want Trump’s wall.

Call your House Representative and tell him/her you don’t want your taxpayer dollars going to fund Trump’s wall.

More info at the link.

Rick Wilson said of Stephan Miller,

"You mean President Miller. There is something seriously wrong with him and I think we can all agree with that. Maybe someday he will have a relationship with a live human woman" when he was talking to Chris Hayes. They were saying that Miller is keeping the shutdown going along with Mitch McConnell since his evil plan is to keep certain immigrant children out of the US. The fucking moron can't be trusted to make a deal and not do a complete 180 a nanosecond later despite it being on TV as proof that he made a deal then lied.

If the tRump GOP were a separate party from the regular GOP

and we had three parties, about what percentage of Americans would be in the new GOP super racist, misogynistic, anti Climate Change GOP, the regular, old GOP, and the Democratic Party? Would three parties separate the GOP into the tRumpers and the never tRumpers? Would this help or hurt Dems as the country and world is changing?

My 84 year old, very Dem mother had this idea earlier today.

Ann Coulter will be Bill Maher's guest next week and "Booooo"

came from his audience after the announcement. I never thought he would actually have her on again and have said to myself that if he does, I won't watch. I will stick with the promise I made to myself. Perhaps if she is the first person on and doesn't come back after her segment I could watch the rest of the show. I REALLY can't take her longer than a nanosecond or I explode.

"Maher then mentioned that Real Time had booked Coulter for next week’s episode. When the announcement prompted audience boos, Maher said about Coulter, “Yeah, that’s called a newsmaker. A policymaker. You’ll have to suck on that.”

Reporting back from the Women's March

in San Diego where over 10,000 people marched supporting Democratic issues and denouncing tRump and his actions. The funniest thing I saw was a group of three whole pro-tRump people walking parallel with the marchers. They were like stepford wives...all the same blond hair, all middle aged women wearing American flag shirts. You know, "real" Americans. Pathetic and amusing at the same time.

What did you see noteworthy at the march you attended?

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.
