Dump Trump!!!

 two zeroes and a flop

Operation Dreadnaught is a go!!!

I know.  When you think of the United States, you automatically think of high ideals.  But especially when I think of Donald Trump and JD Vance, nothing could be further from the truth.  Especially when they berate Volodmyr Zelenskyy, president of Ukraine.  These cretins should be out.

Oh, if dimwittery is your style, Trump placed 25 percent on Canada and Mexico. (then changed his mind - twice!) That should be your 'style'.

News flash!  If your gas depends on Venezuelan oil, be prepared for a 25 percent tax hike!  I thought prices were supposed to go down?!?

It's only been two months now, but Trump's got his dirty fingers over everything already.  If you are (or have been) a government employee, YOU may have seen Donald's hands in the cookie jar.  Go to https://www.ap.org/contact-us/news-tips/ , or https://www.theguardian.com/help/ng-interactive/2017/mar/17/contact-the-guardian-securely, then go to SecureDrop, and follow the instructions.  I can't absolutely guarantee your privacy, or but the Tor network is damn good.  There are two avenues:  1) AP  or 2) The Guardian.  Good luck.

If you aren't a government employee, but you know someone who is, gently nudge him/her to do the right thing.  Don't worry if she/he initially says no.  Trump'll do something to screw up, and you will have done something to plant a seed.

If neither of these is true, you can still advance this cause.  If you have a Republican or squishy Democrat as your member of Congress, get on the phone and tell them you won't put up with this BS any more.  Tell them that you SUPPORT transgender people. Period.

A friend of Anonymous.

BTW, especially if you are a newbie, or if you've been away for awhile from white/gray/black hat stuff, it makes a GREAT deal of sense to do a refresher course online.

Even if you're fairly good at this, the gummint has protections galore.  But you CAN beat the Trumpophiles.  You can find them at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organizations_designated_by_the_Southern_Poverty_Law_Center_as_hate_groups.  Of course, if you can deem yourself an expert...   😜

ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors, who gave me a breath of fresh air.  Unfortunately, most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure BS. Fortunately, though, Ed saves the day. I may not see every line from side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him. 

By the way, if you're free, Ed broadcasts live on 1) most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm and 2) most Wednesday afternoons at 12:00 pm (Eastern time). (other time zones will vary)  (APPROXIMATE) If you click on in the times indicated. you'll see a little circular bloggette in the upper corner indicating "Church Without Walls - live" and today's date.  Click in this area, and with luck, you'll be in!  The correct address will be:

ezs note:  Here in Connecticut, things are really OK for me. In this state, transgender men and women can live in relative peace. Even with Trump coming into the White House, there is a solid wall protecting me and others.  However, I realize that things aren't so lucky for others.  Not all Republicans are so dense - but they make up a LARGE majority.  Which is where YOU come in.  At the VERY least, you should call or email YOUR Congressperson.  If he/she visits your area, go if at all possible and SPEAK.  

Why?  Because it's YOUR right - don't throw it away!
