Make trump unpresidented again
THIS IS NOT NORMAL
NEVER LET IT BECOME NORMAL
EVER!
DON'T GIVE IN
STAY ANGRY
trump voters stayed angry for eight years,
which is why we are having this conversation.
Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!
So.
Comrade snowflake (aka trumPEWtin) haz a mad on that Hillary won the popular vote by 2.9 million people
--coincidentally, the same number of people who turned out nationwide for the Women's March this past Saturday.
AwwR.
To assuage his delicate, brittle little narcissist ego, comrade snowflake pounded his tiny fists, stomped his ickle feetsies, and whinged that 3-5 million people committed "voter fraud." And spokesnake Sean
Hey, tough guy--bring it.
If, trump, you're so convinced that 3-5 million "illegals" voted for Hillary, then let's have a special election NOW.
If you really were serious, you'd DEMAND a special election NOW.
And you'd make sure that there was no voter fraud (there isn't, except for a mere handful of your very own supporters), no voter suppression (you won't, because you love keeping poor people and minorities from voting), and no Russian interference (you won't, because the only way you can "win" is by cheating--which is how you've done it your whole fat loser life). But if you were serious and did demand and conduct a special election, you and the rest of the country could be 100% confident that the winner won fair and square.
I'm game--and I'm sure that more than the 65 million Hillary voters are game. All the poor rubes who voted for you thinking that you were a populist but who have since seen the light are likely game, too--now that they realize that you filled the swamp with Government Sachs and that you and Paul Ryan are lusting to rip away their lifelines.
Srsly--bring it, asshole.
It would be a lot better for the country than what you ARE doing--instead of marshaling our resources to help solve our REAL problems, you are gearing up to squander billions and billions of our hard-earned taxpayer dollars, to which you don't even contribute, tilting at windmills of nonexistent problems.
Like "Mexican" immigration (news flash, chump, you moron--net immigration into the U.S. is ZERO because O'Bama deported more than chimpie ever did and because Mexicans are leaving rather than coming to the U.S.).
Like building pipelines (cough-DAPL and Keystone XL-cough) there isn't enough oil to fill so that you and your buddy Rexxon Tillerson can profit...instead of building the roads and bridges we NEED.
Like repealing Obamacare so that your top 1% buds get additional six-figure tax refunds and so that, if we 99%-ers get sick, we can hurry up and die quickly--oh, and you'll suck off your evangelical base by making sure that women can't get birth control so that they HAVE to have MOAR abortions so that you can throw them in prison for having had sex because we all know that pure, saintly men have nothing to do with sex and that evil, sex-crazed women get pregnant all by themselves by masturbating, duh.
Naw...you'd rather piss away our hard-earned money--into which you don't even contribute, you fucking freeloader--to give your Teathuglikkkant buds crap-tons of excuses to do even MOAR voter suppression and implement even MOAR austerity measures so that hard-working people like my dad never see a penny of the Social Security and Medicare money they paid into their whole lives and are fucking entitled to.
So, yeah, trump you shitstain--let's have that special election NOW and then see if you like the results any better.
I'd attend that inauguration if I had to walk the whole way. On my hands. With one hand tied behind my back.
Here's a letter to trump that plays on his narcissistic need to be loved:
Dear Mr. Trump:
Watch your back--Republicans will pat you on the head and say nice things to you so they can manipulate you to accomplish their agenda, which is the exact opposite of what you campaigned on, namely gutting Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. When Republicans privatize Medicare, for example, it will eat up nearly half of my dad's Social Security check--and he will receive less medical care than he gets now, and it will be lower quality. That's how privatization works: the government's incentive is to provide services; private companies' incentive is to make money, which means charging the most money possible and providing the least, worst service possible. Then, when Republicans privatize Social Security, my dad's payment will be cut, and his income will fluctuate at the mercy of the rich people running the stock market--the very Goldman Sachs people you campaigned against. Social Security and Medicare keep my dad alive and well--and HE paid into them his whole life. Privatizing these services takes my dad's money, which he worked hard to earn, and hands it over to rich companies that did not earn it so that they can deny him services. Sir, you campaigned on the opposite of this--please do not let the Republicans drag your good name through the mud by doing it.
Ya think he'll buy it?
Want an example of how gullible narcissists are and how flawed their critical thinking skills are?
This one is a lulu...
My poor, deluded, narcissist FUX Noise-imbibing Tea Party Christian friend (and I use the term "friend" loosely) believes that the Women's March is "fascist" and that the marchers were all "brown shirts" paid by George Soros.
If he weren't mentally ill, I'd have asked him how it's corporate--fascist--to protest in demand of equal pay: if the corporations want to pay women the same as men, why not just do it? Why spend all that money hiring protestors to demand it?
And how is demanding birth control and reproductive rights corporate? If the corporations are so hell-bent on providing these vital health services, why not just pay into their workers' health plans or, failing that, donate to Planned Parenthood? How does it make sense to hire protestors instead--isn't that just a waste of money, and don't corporations hate wasting money?
And if the corporations want environmental protections, why not just do it? Why not spend their money making their operations more environmentally safe and friendly? Why not cut out the middle-man, so to speak, and do something impactful rather than just put on an expensive show?
Why not just grant employees maternity leave, paternity leave, and paid family medical leave instead of paying a bunch of women in pink hats to clog a bunch of city streets across the nation?
Why not just sponsor--contribute to--local public schools and colleges? Wouldn't that be a more efficient use of money than staging a protest?
Oh, and if George Soros really paid these 2.9 million people to take to the streets and protest last Saturday, then how much did he pay each of them, and where is the proof? And, since I was there, where is MY cut?
...But then I remember that my poor "friend" IS mentally ill...and I blawg instead.
Here are some of the best signs and slogans I remember from the Women's March on Washington:
- We don't want your tiny hands anywhere near our underpants
- No tweeting til you finish your history homework
- This pussy grabs back!
- I don't have to grab pussy to get it (held by a woman)
- Pin picturing Bernie with the caption "Hindsight is 2020"
- Make the climate great again
- If you're mad about women marching for their rights, what you're mad about is women having any rights
- Girls just want to have FUNdamental rights
- Respect existence or expect resistance
- Viva la vulva
- Trump likes 3 Doors Down
- Shut up--I wear heels bigger than your dick (held by a man)
- Picture of Betsy DeVos next to a picture of a bear with the caption "One of these is a threat to public school students; the other is a bear"
- You think my thigh gap is cute? Check out my wage gap.
- Denial is not a sustainable policy
- We love PP; Donald likes PeePee
- We pay taxes--why don't you?
- You're so vain--you probably think this march is about you
- When men are oppressed, it's tragedy; when women are oppressed, it's tradition
- Make facts great again
- We need a leader, not a creepy tweeter

Consider the preemptive Blogger phuqued-up phormatting disclaimer to be in effect. Grrr.
-- Dot Calm's shadow
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 Rethuglikkkants 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 Rethuglikkkants 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/
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.
AND THE REST!!

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.

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--I know because I've been seeing more and more trump propaganda 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!
