Still struggling to catch my breath...

Treason's greedings, fellow Dot Calm readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders -

I'm still trying to catch my breath and get back to blogging now that I've finally got my dad home; I've had some work changes, and I've been going full bore on my volunteer effort--as if I didn't have enough to do--so my plate has been uber-full lately.

Yes, I've still been updating my m00bies page...

https://dotcalmsvids.blogspot.com/

...uploading vids from The Resistance--and shooting verbal rubber-bands at the tangerine shitgibbon and the rest of the traitors in the GOP and NRA on Twitter--has been all I've had time for lately, given how overloaded I am.

That said, I can't resist making one little teeny tiny post right here to all our precious friends in Russia...

Dear ones, if only you knew how that rat-bastard Putin is stealing from you.

Day in, day out, you work your asses off, and for what? A pittance? A hole in the wall to live and just enough money to buy just enough vodka to numb the pain until the next morning begins the drudgery all over again?

Putin is the richest man in the world because he's stealing YOUR money...YOUR wealth...YOUR future. He is destroying YOUR planet so that he can pocket a few more rubles today while you and your children and grandchildren wither away and die tomorrow.

But don't believe me...

Just look at my country's Republican party, which is using Putin and his oligarchs as fucking role models.

Look at Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben "Dr. McSleepy" Carson's taxpayer-funded $31,000 dining room table. That's a year's salary for many Americans--in fact, it's more than twice a year's salary if you work the $7.25/hour minimum wage. For 40 hours a week for 52 weeks per year, minimum wage comes to $15,080/year.

Look at Interior Secretary Ryan "stinky" Zinke's taxpayer-funded private jet trips--one trip alone cost over $12,000. And look at his $139,000 door. How on earth does a door even cost that much--is it stuffed with money for insulation?!??

Loot at EPA-destroyer Scott Pruitt's $43,000 "cone of silence" phone booth. It would be "Get Smart" laughable if it weren't such a goddamn waste of OUR money.

Look at Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin's $800,000 taxpayer-funded private jet travel, or now-fired Tom Price's $1M private jet travel. These men are supposedly millionaires and billionaires--they should be paying for their own goddamn private jet flights.

And look at tRUmp's and his kids' constant extravagant trips, including tRUmp's weekly $3M golf vacations. How's that swampy drainy thing workin' fer ya, MAGA morons?

This benighted administration is flushing OUR hard-earned money--the money that SHOULD be keeping US alive and well--right down the big Jacuzzi for their own vain, ephemeral little pleasures.

And the administration isn't the only set of grifters--the entire Republican party in Congress is just as bad. tRUmp's excesses have merely turned on the spotlight to show us what all the sleezy, slimy, little cockroaches have been doing when we weren't looking.

And your boy Putin has been doing a lot worse for a lot longer and without any oversight or opposition that he doesn't poison or run over with cars or push out of high-rise building windows or drop off skyscraper balconies.

One evil, vicious, greedy man and his buddies, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, living it up like kings--lording it over you, laughing at you--while you slave away every day trying to make ends meet.

We're wage slaves, all of us--wanting only to earn an honest day's pay, watching our ability to survive and live like decent folk...maybe be able to retire someday...slip away from us because the rich and powerful are yanking it all away to make themselves even richer.

And they're using propaganda to get us to blame the poor, people of color, women, LGBTQ+...anyone but the real culprits.

Don't let them--any of them--get away with it. There are millions more of us than there are of them, and we're all fucking pissed.

Like I've said on Twitter: they think my dad, with his $5,000, is far too wealthy and that they, with their billions, are far too poor.

I call BULLSHIT!

Sharpen up your pitchforks, folks, and get ready to light your torches--looks like we're going in.
