Just another Tuesday...just another Congressional hearing of a lying, unethical, traitorous tRumPEWtinist...

Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!

Todaze post is the only one I'm going to do this week--I have a schedule conflict Thursday, and I also need a break.

Until then, follow me on Twitter, dear ones. I had a hiccup for a couple hours this evening where Twitter wouldn't let me tweet that I thought might've been a time-out for me being a potty mouth. Hehe! See, I was cussin' out all the commie GOP traitors giving cover to dumbald tRump and his boyfriend-and-owner PEWtin. If these assholes don't want to be sworn at, then they should fucking honor their fucking oaths of fucking office and fucking do their fucking jobs. Fuck 'em!!

See you next week. And, until then, don't forget to use Resistbot early and often!

- Dot Calm's shadow

FUCK "Predisent" tRump
and FUCK all the FUCKING COMMIES
in the GOP who fucking cover for him!

I wonder whether he won't come for us to rescue his bitch tRump should tRump get so desperate that he needs to invoke martial law to stay in power.... The really awful part? Countless innocent Americans will die if PEWtin pulls such a stunt, and guess what--Republicans wouldn't give a shit! They'd be perfectly fine with it, just as they're perfectly fine with selling us to PEWtin and signing the oath with OUR blood.

Grist: 'I had a meatmare': Why flesh haunts the dreams of vegetarians
...A lot of it comes from guilt over having eaten meat in the past; a lot comes from never being allowed to forget that "everyone" eats meat and that you're "weird" for not eating it; a lot of it comes from being perpetually surrounded by meat; a lot of it comes from always needing to be accommodated, which is never the case for meat-eaters; &c.

MoJo: The Most Shocking Revelation From the Sessions Hearing
...Spoiler: it's that tRump and his administration are shockingly incurious about PEWtin's interference in our election. The entire GOP is fine with making America a client state of PEWtin's Kremlin. And you wonder why I curse the commie bastards...!

tRump has to ignore the Russian hack
of our election because it casts his "victory"
into doubt.
What's really weird?
Bernie and bros
have to ignore the Russian hack, too,
because it casts Hillary's "defeat" into doubt.

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
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!
