Dump Trump!
bankruptcy after bankruptcy!
Uh... had enough???
It's only been a few weeks 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/ , then go to SecureDrop, and follow the instructions. I can't absolutely guarantee your privacy, but the Tor network is damn good. 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. Thanks.

Helping Trump In His Time of Need... (video)
ezs note: I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors and got a breath of fresh air. Most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap. We may not see every line 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 on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm (Eastern time). Look for :
