Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!
Happy St. Paddy's Day Eve--ho ho ho!
We have a lot of material to get through today, dear ones.
Before I check in with my outrage dial, which is set to 11, let me remind you about taxmarch.org, where you can sign up to march on Washington, DC, on Tax Day, 15 April 2017, to protest orange twAtler's hiding and lying about his taxes.
SHOW US YOUR TAXES, DONNIE, OR WE AIN'T PAYING OURS!!!!!
And now, the outrage dial...
Can you believe how heartless orange twAtler and the Teathuglikkkants are?!?? Paul Ryan was positively gleeful at the CBO report that trumpcare would throw 24 MILLION innocent Americans off their health insurance and thus off health care.
And you wonder why I call Republicanism "the culture of death."
But it-snot even enough for them to kill--they prefer to kill slowly, maximizing the amount of pain and suffering in their victims. Like their zeal to shutter Planned Parenthood and make sure that every poor rural or young woman squeezes out a constant stream of poor babies she can't afford until she dies of breast, uterine, ovarian, or cervical cancer she can't afford to see the doctor for--as if ERs treat cancer!! No Planned Parenthood means no birth control for these women--that means no condoms, which means more STIs...STDs...and AIDS.
They even want to repeal mandatory vaccination, which means we can kiss our herd immunity goodbye...which means that anyone who's immuno-compromised (e.g., with HIV+/AIDS) or allergic to the vaccines or their ingredients will be susceptible to polio, measles, mumps, rubella, human papilloma virus, and everything else floating around out there once it all comes roaring back.
Srsly--how heartless and cruel can you possibly get?!??
But wait--there's still moar!
Orange twAtler's budget is all about death.
He wants to ramp up our already bloated, wasteful "defense" budget--but not scientific research that could actually save lives in the long run, oh no--so that he can kill innocent people abroad just as soon as he decided whom to attack (Eye-ran? North Korea? Gina? Who cares--they all look the same to him).
And while he robs us of $3 MILLION every weekend he goes golfing at his fake plastic "resort" in Florida and $15 MILLION for every month his illegal immigrant fake plastic "wife" hides her ass from him in NYC, his budget defunds MEALS ON WHEELS!
You read that right: that asshole trump's budget includes ZERO dollars for Meals on Wheels!!
WhaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!??
chump's "ploy" is to fund everything he likes and to pretend everything he doesn't like--like programs that actually keep real, hardworking Americans alive and well--is "waste."
Well, TRUMP IS A WASTE--of oxygen, junk food, attention, adult diapers, and everything else he can get his grubby baby hands on to squander.
Srsly--what a piece of shit donald john trump is!!!!!
GRRRRR!!!!!
Friends, we HAVE to fight these sadistic, evil bastards. It's OUR lives on the line. Maybe they won't get you and me in particular on the first pass they make, but, I promise, if we sit idly by while others get the axe, they'll get US sooner or later.
Just ask the trumpanzees who voted for chump and who now stand to lose their health care.
On that crappy note, dear ones, let me slawg on with the blawg.
Don't forget that tomorrow is St. Paddy's Day...relax, have a potato! Oh, and let's all have a snort or three of Fireball...while we still can.
*hic*
My dad and I are going to enjoy our Fireball with a nice big serving of vegan corned tofu, cabbage, and vegetables (you can make a surprisingly convincing "corned beef" broth using prepared stoneground mustard, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, Pick-a-peppa, a crap-ton of freshly-cracked black pepper, generously-sprinkled garlic powder, and bay leaves) and nice dense, vegan gluten-free Irish soda bread (recipe courtesy of my bestie, who's Black Irish, like Barack O'Bama!)...warmed up and slathered with Earth Balance...yum!!
Don't forget to wear green (or at least drink until you turn green!).
Also, don't forget that I lurves ya madleh!

From the Mailbag--outgoing, in this case
I wrote a pro-ACA, anti-trumpcare letter to my Republican
-- Dot Calm's shadow
Hey, Republicans--first fix the ACA you broke; then transition to Medicare for all!
Republicans bear responsibility for the failure of the ACA to live up to its promises.
Specifically, Marco Rubio's poison pill in 2015, which reneged on the government's contract with insurers to compensate for losses in covering the high risk corridor, drove United Health, Aetna, and other insurers out of the exchanges; drove smaller insurers bankrupt (closing their doors forever); and drove premiums up by the 400% we saw in the news.
The Obama administration used a Republican idea straight out of the Heritage Foundation and validated by Republican Governor Mitt Romney to craft the ACA, the idea behind which was to have everyone buy insurance so that everyone's insurance prices would ultimately come down. The government's intent was to buffer the insurers against high-risk corridor losses until more healthy people could sign up.
So, Trumpcare cannot work without the highly unpopular individual mandate or the government subsidy for high-risk corridor losses until everyone signs up. It seems to me that the first way to improve the ACA is to implement it as originally intended--as designed by the Republican Heritage Foundation.
And there's another wrinkle.
America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) recently published an infographic illustrating how each insurance dollar is spent: it shows that 80% (the minimum mandated by ACA) is spent on health care, but the other 20% is spent on CEO compensation, profit, and advertising expenses that Medicare, which is our largest insurer, does NOT have. In fact, Medicare only spends 6.4% of its budget on overhead.
So, in trying to justify rising insurance costs, AHIP seems to have unwittingly made the case for Medicare for all.
Certain entities of our society must never be allowed to operate for profit, including insurance, health care, pharmaceuticals, education, and prisons. Profit drives these entities to provide the least possible service for the highest possible cost, and privatization denies Americans access to these entities' decision makers for recourse like we have at the voting booth.
If you really want to improve American health care--which costs more but provides less than any of the single-payer systems we see in Canada, Europe, and the rest of the industrialized world--please first implement the ACA as its Republican designers originally intended; then help the country transition to Medicare for all.
You will save not only money but millions of American lives as well.
I have yet to get a meaningful reply.

Moar M00bies!
Russia, Russia, Russia! All fishy roads in chump's world lead to Russia.
Here's Randi Rhodes's take on chump "leaking" two pages of his 2005 tax returns. I stayed up til 1:00 watching a video someone posted of Rachel Maddow's entire show on YouTube just after it aired (it got taken down shortly thereafter...ah well) and reached some of the same conclusions Randi did: chump himself leaked the returns; it's NOT illegal for David Cay Johnston OR MSNBC to publish them once they received them, since they didn't solicit them; they're "favorable" in the sense that they show him paying the Alternative Minimum Tax, which is closer to 25% (which is less than the 28% I pay, and I sure as fuck don't make a hundred million dollars a year), rather than the 4% he'd pay without the Alternative Minimum Tax--which he wants to repeal, BTW; they're favorable in the sense that they show him making over a hundred million that year; and the real scandal is that chump does want to repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax so that he can legally skip out on paying his taxes! I disagree that chump trolled Maddow (and you'll see why if you scroll down), but I do agree that Maddow primed the pump by mentioning so many of the other places where "client" copies of tax returns could turn up...which makes a nice, subtle reminder for any other concerned citizens who should, say, want to pass them over the transom to David Cay Johnston...
But wait--there's moar!
Here are links to Rachel Maddow's blog (http://www.msnbc.com/maddowblog) and to David Cay Johnston's DCReport (https://www.dcreport.org/).
But there's still moar!! Democratic Underground ran a great piece today saying that what Rachel Maddow did was "crafty AF" (link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028795078):
"HERE'S WHY RACHEL MADDOW HIT A HOME RUN TONIGHT.
For those who believe that Rachel Maddow's report this evening was a bust, I have to say that I couldn't disagree more. Consider this: her objective was not to break news, but to *shape* the news. Here's how she did do that...
1) She made the White House bark and roll over like a dog, forcing them to release the same tax return paperwork she had in advance of her show hoping to take the wind out of her sails. It did not. Instead, she made them do something they were never going to do until she made them do it. This made it a news story worthy of coverage by The Washington Post and others. In short, she has put the subject of Trump's tax returns back on the front burner. For the moment anyway, she is driving the news cycle.
2) She used what will probably be reported as her best ratings night in the history of her show to recap all the great reporting her team has done over the last week and a half about all of Trump's corrupt business dealings and connections to Russia and crooked banks. By doing so she has educated the public about the importance of making Trump's tax returns public and re-ignited the public's desire to see it. Don't think this won't have an impact on future polls when people are asked if they want to see Trump's taxes.
3) When the White House lied and said obtaining and publishing such documentation was illegal, she pointed out how such a lie underscores the probability that Trump has something to hide. She also correctly stated that the first amendment makes it is perfectly legal for her to publish such documents and legal for a journalist to obtain such documents provided s/he does not solicit that material. (See the Pentagon Papers case.)
4) She then, while talking with her guests, made it a point to underscore the fact that Trump would have had to release part or all of his tax returns to various financial institutions in order to apply for loans and such. By doing so, she was informing the public that aside from the IRS, there are others who have copies of Trump's taxes. And thus, she just sent an army of people who might have been connected with those institutions to go looking through their back files to see if they might actually be able to find some of that tax info and share it with the media.
5) She purposely asked questions of her guests that were designed to inform those who might have access to Trump's tax returns exactly what kind of additional tax documents the media would need in order to connect Trump to some of the allegations she has brought up in her reporting. She did this without literally soliciting the information, but by generally educating the public. Needless to say, a lot of journalists including Rachel will be keeping a close eye on their mailboxes in the coming days.
In the end, by cable news standards, The Rachel Maddow Show is a shoe-string operation. She does not have an unlimited budget and a large team. In fact, a close examination of her reports will show that she is, in large part, aggregating the work of other journalists who may not have the reach that her show has. Her recent ratings success can be attributed to her focus and her tenacity. Her strategy is simple. Stop letting Trump drive the conversation and focus on uncovering his corruption.
I tip my hat to Rachel tonight. She took what some people would have considered nothing and made something valuable out of it -- a stick in the eye to Donald Trump. Let's see if it bears fruit."
https://www.facebook.com/jerome.vivona/posts/10211727550606442
I agree--I think Rachel Maddow did a brilliant job of relentlessly tying the tax returns to chump's Russian connections and stoking the demand to see the rest of the chump's tax returns.

14 March 2017 entry
Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!
Happy Pi Day--ho ho ho!
Here in the mid-Atlantic, winter storm STELLAAAAAAA!!!!! only dropped a few dainty inches of snow. However, since it was very wet, very heavy snow, it was a pissah to shoBel. Took me two hours to clear my own short driBeway and--with the help of another able-bodied neighbor--that of the lovely elderly lady across the street from me. Thing was, I heard the lady shoBeling as I was shoBeling...she was making a path to her mailbox...and when I saw her get close to that nasty pile of condensed sludge left by the plows at the base of her driveway apron, I waddled over as fast as my yellow Wellies could carry me (I walk like the Swamp Thing in them bootz). Her next-door neighbor spied us and came over and helped us, and the three of us made quick work of her driveway. Then we cleared his driveway apron. So, even though I was out there hard at it for two hours, it really wasn't two hours-worth of shoBeling.
In honor of Pi Day, my dad and I bought a bake-at-home apple pie--the kind with only the ingredients you'd use yourself if you were to bake a pie from itch (I don't because I apparently have a phobia for rolling out stuff like pie dough, cookie dough, etc.). So, by the time you read this, my dad will have chowed down on hot vegan apple pie a la mode (with So Delicious vanilla ice cream made from coconut milk--which is w-a-y better than any dairy ice cream I've ever had). Yum!
Before I slawg on with the blawg, let me talk about something extremely disturbing that's been sticking in my craw: orange twAtler's dismantling of the State Department.
If you've been tracking the story, you already know that trumPEWtin has fired ALL the truly non-partisan senior diplomats who have protected this country's best interests for the past 40+ years--and you know that he's going to replace them with moar moronic, ignorant, know-nothing right-wing partisan hacks who can't even spell "State Department."
Friends, once you flush that much institutional memory down the toilet, there is no way to get it back unless trump were impeached and removed from office tomorrow and we could get these people back on the job before they find other work or better things to do with their time.
Once they go, they're gone.
The implication?
Assuming we finally do defeat the orange menace and get a sane, rational, human back into the White House, it will take us another 40+ years to rebuild what chumpco is throwing away today.
Let that sink in for a while...I'll wait.
In firing Ambassador Daniel Fried and his colleagues, trumPEWtin has guaranteed that the State Department would have NO institutional memory and thus NO way to fight against Russia's agenda to weaken the United States in particular and the West in general.
Perhaps the trumpanzees think this is a good thing--perhaps they enjoy sucking PEWtin's ass--BUT I DON'T.
One addition to the excellent interview: Ambassador Fried mentions "liberal democracy" more than once without defining it. Here's the definition from https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/liberal_democracy:
In other words, "liberal" means "officially recognizing and protecting individual rights and limiting political power by rule of law."
THIS IS WHAT TRUMPEWTIN, THE REPUBLICANS, THE TEA PARTY, THE EVANGELICALS, THE WHITE NATIONALISTS, AND THE CORPORATIONS THEY REPRESENT ARE FIGHTING AGAINST!!!!!
Get it?
They ALL want America dismantled--our Constitution shredded and the shreds burned beyond recognition--and our government turned into a "Christian" theocratic, fascist dictatorship.
I'll say it again...
Where Ambassador Fried says that PEWtin "only" wants to take us down a notch, the Tea Party, Republicans, evangelicals, white nationalists, and corporations are already colluding--whether they realize or admit it or not--to dismantle our entire system of governance and replace it with a Christo-fascist dictatorship.
They were already vote-suppressing, gerrymandering, propagandizing, discrediting, and doing everything in their power--before PEWtin ever said "boo" to orange twAtler--to discourage participation in our elections.
They've already done everything in their power to hide or condone institutional abuses, deny accountability to the public, and transform private debt into public tax burden and public labor into private profit.
PEWtin's involvement only turns that dial to 11.
The last thing ANY of these tiny-minded, selfish little men can stand is INDIVIDUAL rights and freedoms--and the RULE OF LAW.
Why?
The Tea Party, evangelicals, and white nationalists can't stand individual rights and freedoms because recognizing and protecting individuals levels the playing fields and removes the unfair advantages that these sick, insecure, reality-denying greedy bastards arrogate to themselves.
If you recognize that women are not lesser humans than men, you have to treat women fairly. You have to recognize and enforce their right to bodily autonomy. You have to pay them equal work for equal pay. If you recognize that LGBTQ+ are not lesser humans than cis-males, then you have to grant them equal access to marriage, housing, and other societal benefits that cis-males take for granted. Same for Black and Brown Americans and immigrants--if you recognize them as equal to whites, then you can no longer murder them with impunity. If you uphold the First Amendment, you have to recognize that other Americans may have a different religion from you or no religion at all, and you do not have the right to force your religion on them or shut them down.
And so on.
The racists, bigots, and misogynists in this country--all those poor, fearful, insecure, petty men with penises as microscopic as their intellects and all those poor, fearful, insecure, petty women who would rather be "protected" by their predators than stand on their own two feet--would rather die than accept other Americans as being their equals. So, despite their populist rhetoric, they long ago climbed into bed with the very corporations and institutions that exploit these "others"--the enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is why all the ammosexuals who hate liberals with a seething passion because they think liberals are "commies" suddenly LURVE communist Russia and have bigger hard-ons for PEWtin than for Ivanka. They are too angry to know or to care that they themselves are next in line for the abattoir--they're happy as long as they can see these innocent "others" suffer. The rank-and-file trumpanzees have been brainwashed to think that the only way they themselves can have any rights is to deny those same rights to others. They are too consumed by hate to realize that we ALL can live better lives if we stop blaming innocent others and start fixing the system of capitalism and oligarchy that is harming us all. These poor useful idiots have no idea what "liberal" means...or why they themselves benefit from living in a "liberal democracy"...
The Tea Party, evangelicals, and white nationalists can't stand the rule of law because enforcing accountability and the rule of law sets hard limits on just how badly these heartless, greedy, cruel bastards can harm the rest of us. The rule of law stops them from oppressing the rest of us to their evil hearts' content. Regulations keep their beloved corporations from poisoning and killing us with their pollution and deadly products. The rank-and-file trumpanzees have been brainwashed into WANTING Wall Street and the corporations to impoverish and kill us all--trumpanzees included. Meanwhile, the rich and powerful--and the Republicans who represent them--are so consumed by greed that they want ALL the money NOW, just like the giant that tried to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs in Jack and the Beanstalk. They're over the moon that all their FOX News, Breitbart, and Infowars propaganda has worked so well to brainwash the trumanzees to hate themselves and other ordinary Americans so much that they'd rather dismantle everything that makes America truly great and hand over every dime to the rich because they're too brainwashed to realize that THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
So, long before our electile dysfunction was a twinkle in PEWtin's eye, the right-wing fanatics and fascists--our very own countrymen whom I work my ass off to protect--have been equally hard at work discrediting and dismantling our institutions. Their goals are far-reaching and cross-cutting, touching every aspect of American life from religion to education to health care to economy. They won't stop until they've burned it all down and installed an American Saddam Hussein in its place. And PEWtin merely wanted to weaken the United States and the West.
With allies like the Tea Party, evangelicals, white nationalists, corporations, and fascist Republicans, PEWtin stands to succeed beyond his wildest dreams, just like Osama bin Laden did when the Twin Towers fell and Bush declared war on Islam and the truth--and when donald john trump became ISIS's top recruiter and crusader for alternative facts.
And with friends like the Tea Party, evangelicals, white nationalists, corporations, and fascist Republicans, who needs enemies?

Here's the Baku hotel story I mentioned last time. Friends, this shit is straight-up ILLEGAL! DAMN, I wanna see these criminals land up in PRISON!!!!!
ICYMI, here's a second chance to hear Randi explain Michael Flynn's role as a foreign agent. Conjecture: Flynn was pissed that he got fired, so his contracting company dumped all the CIA stuff onto WikiLeaks. Friends, it's neither impossible nor even improbable...
...and here's what Randi means when she says that the Flynn Intel Group website is...questionable (as in, DON'T visit it unless you want malware installed on your computer!):
...the gray "?" means DO NOT visit this site!
GAWD, I lurve me some Kate McKinnon!!!!!
Please watch this video, friends--you'll understand exactly what's at stake. You'll be shocked--shocked, I tell you.
Even with the fake plastic Ivanka wig, ScarJo is just...stunning

SOPROUD: TDL
Until further notice, the purpose of this blog is to provide tools to help protect and preserve our rights, our liberties, and our country from the wrinkled fat orange clusterfuck that is Donald "dickless LOSER" trump. As I track down more information, I will continue to refine these tools.
If you value my work, please support me on Patreon: just point your browser to https://www.patreon.com/ and type "Dot Calm's shadow" into the search box at the top--thank you! Even a dollar a month from 20 people would really help right now--it would cover part of my Internet. Show me that there's more out there than just a lonely chorus of crickets!
Action List
PROTECT yourself financially, reproductively, and medically.
1. If you need a loan, get it NOW--rates have already gone up; they went up at least three times the first week or two after the election. MOVE your retirement out of the stock market and into a stable fund that is guaranteed NOT to lose your principal--if you're not risk averse, keep your money in stocks until after the inauguration...but move it out ASAP afterward because, once chump and the teathuglikkkants deregulate Wall Street, we are in for a bust that makes chimp's Great Recession look like O'Bama's recovery. Thom Hartmann, Randi Rhodes, and their guest speakers agree that the Rethugs and chump will crash the economy by deregulating the stock market so quickly our haids will spin. The boom-bust cycle repeats every 80 years or so--as long as it takes for the last people who remember what a depression was like and fight the greedsters to die off. We're phuqued.
2. If you're a woman of reproductive age or a man who knows and loves women of reproductive age, stock up on as much "Plan B" (the "morning after" pill) as you can afford NOW. Plan to take one pill either immediately after unprotected sex or the morning after unprotected sex, and plan to take another pill 24 hours later. No matter what else you do, STOCK UP NOW on Plan B because even the best contraceptives fail, and you won't be able to get an abortion once chump and the teathuglikkkants take over. Men, get yourself snipped while you still can, too.
3. If you're a woman of reproductive age and don't already have an IUD or contraceptive implant, get yours NOW. Mirena has progestin, not estrogen, and can reduce your period; the copper ones without hormones (like Paragard) can cause cramping and heavy bleeding that doesn't go away until the device is removed (think having the second day of your period for a year at a clip). Of these two IUDs, women seem to prefer Mirena, but the device can still fall out. Cosmopolitan has a great discussion on these and other IUDs, what's involved with getting one (not a big deal, but you'll bleed for at least a week afterward), what's involved with having one removed (also not a big deal, but you'll bleed for at least a week after). "Managing Contraception" has an article on Mirena (not scary). If I were you, I'd skip the Skyla--it only lasts 3 years, so you wouldn't even be done with the orange fuckwad's first term if you get one. Planned Parenthood has a video about contraceptive implants and great information about all forms of contraception. And if you think you might need a do-it-yourself abortion some time in the future, go talk to Planned Parenthood NOW and see if you can stock up on mifepristone now--the options for DIY abortions at home using substances like vitamin C seem promising to desperate women but don't have any scientific backing. You can also try womenonwaves.org and womenonweb.org.
4. Don't take any new drugs approved after 2016 without doing your own research into whether they're safe and effective. Republicans are weakening the FDA to the point that it will no longer be able to verify that new drugs will work and not harm us.
Now, do your daily actions, make your daily calls, and do the rest...
DAILY ACTIONS!
Go to Michael Moore's FaceBook page and do whatever is on his to-do list:
https://www.facebook.com/mmflint/
Here's a list of short-term actions you can take right now!
1. If you can, sign up for the 29 April 2017 People's Climate March. I called into the telecon Monday evening and found it very useful. Two things stuck out: People's Climate Movement is rather new, so it's small and not yet well funded. However, they're working with the other climate organizations to build the movement and fight trump's disastrous Big Oil, Big Destruction, Big Money, Big Death agenda.
2. If you can't make the climate march but can come out a week earlier--Earch Day, 22 April 2017--then please sign up for the March for Science. The climate telecon had nearly a thousand callers-in, some of whom lamented that it would be really difficult to attend both marches. I know it took me a week to recover from the Women's March, and I'm local. PCM suggested combining with the science march, but the science march wasn't interested, seeing the protection of science as a separate issue. I disagree in the sense that we have trump's disastrous Big Oil, Big Destruction, Big Money, Big Death agenda BECAUSE of all the climate SCIENCE DENIAL. So, I'll be one of the many PCM callers-in contacting the science march people to try to get them to combine with the climate march.
3. Go help NASA archive their data--wiki wiki! (Read about it here and click through to the links if you're too lazy to check the archive of this blawg for a direct link.)
4. Go call trump's businesses and make them pass along your comments to him! Here's the link: https://whitehouseinc.org/...have fun, kidz!
5. Contact Nordstrom's and Neiman Marcus and THANK them for dumping trump! Amazon may be caving, too, to pressure to ditch Breitbart, so keep bugging Amazon and the rest of 'em to do what's in EVERYONE's best interests--not just in the best interests of white supremacists, haters, bigots, and racists--by signing this petition and boycotting the offending advertisers: https://actions.sumofus.org/a/
6. If you haven't already, go check out the Indivisible guide: https://www.indivisibleguide.
DAILY CALLS!
CALL your U.S. Senators and Representatives DAILY at their LOCAL offices. SHOW UP in person if you can. Call each day with ONE issue--and KEEP CALLING. The staffers track your calls by issue, so don't give in to the temptation of giving them the whole laundry list all at once. Here is our list of demands:
0. Call your members of Congress now and demand they block trump's cabinet of swamp monsters in its entirety (from The New York Times):
1. DEMAND they support Barbara Boxer's bill to ABOLISH the Electoral College--popular vote only. DEMAND paper ballots only, and DEMAND audit trails be published in local papers. DEMAND they LET ALL Americans vote (undo voter roll purges and other Black voter suppression) and MAKE Election Day a national holiday for all. And STOP gerrymandering.
2. Demand that your elected officials FILIBUSTER ALL trump's SCOTUS appointments. Supporting Citizens United or opposing the rights of women, immigrants, non-whites, non-Christians, LGBTQ+, and the poor are UNACCEPTABLE. This is NON-NEGOTIABLE.
3. DEMAND trump's impeachment--DEMAND he be investigated NOW for corruption and conflict of interest. DEMAND to see his taxes. trump has already committed impeachable offenses, so DEMAND that he be held accountable NOW.
4. REMIND them THEY'RE FIRED if they don't obstruct, obstruct, obstruct trump and the Republicans from Day 1. If they resist, REMIND them that Hillary WON the popular vote by nearly 3 million.
5. DEMAND restoration of the Fairness Doctrine--DEMAND fair, fact-based, accurate media free from the false equivalencies and unchecked free coverage that foisted trump on us.
6. DEMAND that they UPHOLD AND EXPAND on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Dodd-Frank legislation. BRING BACK Glass-Steagall!
7. DEMAND that trump undergo psychological evaluation for fitness for office. Known narcissist, Dr. Sam Vaknin, explains that trump is a narcissist--and that DISQUALIFIES him for the presidency--in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5he5hXp-rU.
8. DEMAND a SPECIAL PROSECUTOR to investigate FBI director James Comey and Donald trump for interfering with the election.
9. DEMAND the Army Corps of Engineers go to Flint to dig up and replace all the poisoned pipes.
10. PRIMARY ANY AND ALL fascist Democratic DINOs who vote FOR ANY of chump's nominees. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!
AND THE REST!!
SIGN UP for daily headlines from Daily Kos, AlterNet, and "Democracy Now!" SIGN petitions. ATTEND town halls and protests. The Guardian is independent news you can use; Jeremy Scahill's publication "The Intercept" is another high-quality resource of investigative reporting you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere. GET INFORMED and GET INVOLVED!
If or when trump really does set up his Muslim registry, SIGN UP! Trevor Noah suggested this to be funny, but it's gone viral because the racist bigoted assholes can't deport us all, now can they? If I can do it as a proud anti-theist atheist, then so can you as whatever religion or lack thereof that you are. Keystone Progress has a page where you can pledge to sign up: Pledge to register as a Muslim if Trump creates a registry.
VOLUNTEER for and DONATE to all the organizations that D. LOSER trump is targeting. Get on their mailing lists and donate as much time and money as you can to Planned Parenthood, NRDC,
ORGANIZE to TAKE OVER the Democratic Party: FIGHT trump and the Republicans, CLEAN UP Democratic Party failures, WIN the midterms, and apologize to Bernie and America for failing. Today, that means signing up for the JUSTICE DEMOCRATS and volunteering and donating whatever time and money you can!
PROTEST all media that inflicted trump on us--BOYCOTT their advertisers and TELL them why. This includes FUX Noise.
GRAB the pussy-in-thief by the wallet: BOYCOTT businesses that sell trump products and TELL them why.
JOIN SOPROUD by joining organizations working to protect our future! SIGN UP at http://workingfamilies.org/ and find an emergency meeting near you! DOWNLOAD and FOLLOW the Indivisible Guide for instructions how best to resist trump by interacting with your elected officials in ways that will get their attention.
And don't forget to SUPPORT those in The Resistance who support YOU (like me)! If we all chip in a buck o' five, WE CAN DO THIS THING!!!!!
Boycott List
Boycott media!
Don't bother with these media outlets any more unless you want trump propaganda--these media outlets have whored themselves out to trump for access for the low, low price of "fancy" cocktails and a "fancy" dinner, consisting of Donald's shriveled orange acorn dick, at chump's "fancy" (aka FAKE PLASTIC, just like everything else about trump and his FAKE PLASTIC family) "resort" in Florida. What an upstanding, responsible response to trump's denying press conferences since 27 July 2016...retch. So much for comforting the afflicted, afflicting the comfortable, and speaking truth to power to keep that power reined in and in check...!
- Axios
- Bloomberg
- Breitbart because duh--according to AlterNet, Howard Dean Lends Voice to Consumer Activist Group Hitting Breitbart in the Wallet—And It's Working
- CNN
- FOX because of course
- MSNBC (includes Joe Scarborough, but Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes may still be OK as long as their corporate overlords allow it)
- NBC (they also have the reality TV show conflict of interest--and they just hired a couple of FUX Noise escapees, so beware a hard swing to the far, far right)
- POLITICO--their top editor(s) went and paid to party with trump, so now more and more trump propaganda has been showing up there, to my infinite disgust
Boycott vendors that support trump, sell trump shit, and otherwise pander to hate!
Boycott Victoria's Secret--they kick out shoppers who are guilty of shopping while Black!
Here's a twofer: let's save our money for when dump tanks the economy and grab the trumpussy grabber-in-thief where it hurts most--by his wallet!
Want to boycott trump? There's an app for that!
And here's a list of trump companies.
There's also a spreadsheet of trump supporters and vendors that carry trump merch that includes the vendors below.
Don't forget New Balance, who praised and supported trump: 1 (800) 595-9138.
Here's the list from Mindy Fischer, featuring 28 vendors that sell trump merchandise. BOYCOTT them all and TELL them why!
