Imma just leave this here...
25 May 2017 update:
Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!
Friends, I'm still catching up from my trip, but I did indeed start to plan what to write for todaze post.
As the teaser for the article says, not as many have dumped Hannity yet as dumped his fellow perv O'Really?--but it's quite a respectable start, and I'm proud to have been part of restoring a modicum of peace to the Rich family. I hope the respite will be permanent and that Hannity will catch the clue and leave them to grieve and get on with their lives.
Other than those late-breaking n00z items from yesterday, the n00z speaks for itself--including stories and fallout from tRump's disastrous and weird trip to the Middle East and Europe and plenty of late-breaking n00z items from today, which you'll see as you scroll down through the headlines toward the peas.
Hopefully, I'll be even more caught up next time and back to my usual creative, (hopefully) funny self.
Cheers--be good to you; remember to follow me on Twitter; and never forget that I lurves ya madleh!

Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!
Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!
Friends, I'm still catching up from my trip, but I did indeed start to plan what to write for todaze post.
I'm sure I was planning a word on how I'm really not a mean person, but I am doing everything I can to make @realdonaldtRump crack so that maybe he'll resign without our having to wait until 2018. I want him to decide he'd rather run away like the spoiled bully he is than deal with a daily barrage of "mean" tweets from the likes of me. Since he's criticized others for being fat, stupid, inept, incompetent, and hypocritical, I figure it's fair game to call him out on all of those. If you're not convinced that I save my wrath for him and the rest of the evil Republicans who truly want to murder my dad, my bestie, and the rest of my loved ones, just follow me on Twitter and watch how I respond to the average folk--my ordinary American counterparts on the other side of the aisle. "Honest but caring and kind" is what I'm shooting for. I feel sorry for these benighted folks, but they are not my target. Not only would I not be able to change their minds, but they are only the unwitting dupes of the Republicans, who have fooled them into thinking that they're at the table when they're really on the menu. And, as I tweeted to one such deluded girl, I truly wish they weren't. If it were up to me, we wouldn't have Big Money in politics; we'd have free, fair, and fact-checked news; we'd have publicly funded elections with election day holidays and all eligible voters registered and enabled to vote; and we'd live in a society where profit was prohibited from institutions like education, news media, insurance, corrections, pharmaceuticals, and health care. And we'd take care of each other and the planet we live on because duh.
But, hey, that's just me.
And then Montana Republican congressional candidate Greg Gianforte strangled, body-slammed, and repeatedly punched Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs, smashing his glasses and injuring his elbow badly enough to require medical attention.
The Atlantic: A Transcript of the Greg Gianforte 'Body-Slam' Audio
Mr. Jacobs's "offense"?
Asking Gianforte for his reaction to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) score for tRumpcare version ?.? (I lost count, so sue me). Oh, and being a reporter in tRump's America, where comrade tRumPEWtin has branded the media as the enemy of the people and chronically incited/incites violence against members of the media along with anyone else who disagrees with him or who tries to hold him accountable for his malfeasance.
Damn, son--tRumpcare v?.? must be one super-callous-suckilicious bill if Republicans would rather beat up reporters than answer questions about its CBO score. I guess Republicans' tiny little minds are getting short-circuited by all the cognitive dissonance that comes with being "Christians" who get concrete-hard stiffies from a bill that will murder millions of innocent Americans if it passes...
On a happier note, Twitter asked Warby Parker to supply Mr. Jacobs with a new pair of glasses to replace the pair Gianforte broke during the attack--and @WarbyParker promptly agreed. That made a lot of Tweeps' day.
But, before Gianforte's attack on Mr. Jacobs, I was part of a Twitter campaign to #FireHannity for torturing the family of Seth Rich by continuing to spread debunked conspiracy theories to distract from tRump-Russia. Scott Dworkin (@funder) takes this issue personally because he had worked with Seth early on, and Seth's family and his memory deserve better than to be sullied by Hannity's self-serving lies. In a shockingly short period of time, the campaign resulted in four major advertisers dumping Hannity's lying ass before I hit the hay last night. Even more advertisers abandoned the constipated RWNJ today, resulting in Hannity being voluntold to take a very sudden vacation.
New York Magazine: As Advertisers Flee, Sean Hannity Takes a Sudden Vacation
As the teaser for the article says, not as many have dumped Hannity yet as dumped his fellow perv O'Really?--but it's quite a respectable start, and I'm proud to have been part of restoring a modicum of peace to the Rich family. I hope the respite will be permanent and that Hannity will catch the clue and leave them to grieve and get on with their lives.
As one fellow Tweep said, Hannity thinks it's freedom to torture an innocent, grieving family with debunked conspiracy theories, but it's fascism for the free market represented by #LaResistance to impart swift, robust, and meaningful consequences..
I sent Hannity the following link to give him a much-needed clue re what fascism actually is...and it-snot, "Waah waah waah--mean people disagree with me."
He's welcome.
Rense.com: Fourteen Defining Characteristics Of Fascism
Read the link, friends--by definition, fascism is NOT liberal. Fascism is a strictly right-wing phenomenon that RWNJs like Hannity want to subject us all to. His whinging only goes to show that it's a good time to remind ourselves what fascism really is so that we don't get caught up in his web of st00pit...I mean, conspiracies...I mean, lies.
Other than those late-breaking n00z items from yesterday, the n00z speaks for itself--including stories and fallout from tRump's disastrous and weird trip to the Middle East and Europe and plenty of late-breaking n00z items from today, which you'll see as you scroll down through the headlines toward the peas.
Hopefully, I'll be even more caught up next time and back to my usual creative, (hopefully) funny self.

She is NOT a friend of The Resistance--she wants to feed us what she thinks we want to hear along with a crap-ton of fake news and Breitbart-worthy conspiracy theory. Friends, we are better than this--we form our opinions based on evidence, not emotion. Follow @MalcolmNance instead. He loves this country and will not steer you wrong!

So they decided to snuff out the lives of children during the Ariana Grande concert that should have been a wonderful highlight of their young lives. Sick fucking bastards. They make me wish there were a hell so they could fry in it. But it's all good--tRump worked very hard to get an Israeli anti-ISIS operative murdered by Russia and Iran so that even moar innocent people can die in ISIS attacks--yay! Won't that make you sleep better? Yeah, I didn't think so--me neither. On a more positive note, the local Manchester Muslim community wasted no time condemning the attack--unlike American Christians whenever one of their own commits an act of domestic terrorism.

unless, as he says, you're a total globalist. "It's not a parody account--it's performance art!" He also urges us to retweet everything he says unless we want the globalists to win. (Srsly, friends--he's a riot. Don't drink coffee while reading his tweets.)

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
Don't forget to contact these media outlets and their ADVERTISERS and TELL them all why you're boycotting them! So what if we spend a little less money overall? The money we save now may give us enough breathing room to jump ship before trump crashes the economy.
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!
