Dump Trump!!!

 


Arcola, IL


It's now past 100 days.  And, oh how "wonderful" we all must feel.  Judges are reversing Trump  at breakneck speed. But have no fear.  Trump is ignoring them.  And a certain judge is jailed (with ridiculous trumped-up charges).  Canada, Greenland, and Panama are in Trump's trigger.  We transgender folks are in Trump's trigger also.  And immigrants?  Bye, see ya later (or not!).  Even citizens are not safe.  And the Dow Jones?  Can you sing free fallin'?  You wanna see a movie, just to relax?  If it's produced anywhere outside the United States, you'll pay a 100 percent tax!!!  Oh, yeah - he's gonna get a 400 dollar graft - uh, 'gift'  of a 400 dollar 747 from Qatar! 




And Trump blames Joe Biden???, 

But you CAN do something.   Hands Off is a great place  to start. Indivisible  is another great place.  If  you want to get to a really adventurous trek, start your own protest! It doesn't matter whether it's  five people or 100,000. It doesn't matter if you're from ArcolaArenzville , ArrowsmithAshland or Astoria   in Illinois  - or anywhere in the United States - just do it!!!   

   


By the way, the second  nominates her/himself on the anti-trans bandwagon, offer your services in opposition  immediately!!! I can't make any promises, but the sooner you're working, the better the chances!  Oh, if no one sticks their toe out, YOU can do it!!!





T.A.C.O. Trump!

Leo XIV (Robert Prevost)

 


Leo XIV (earlier, Robert Prevost)

Well.

After Pope Francis was laid to rest, over a billion Catholics - and just as many interested non-Catholics - were buzzing about, wondering who the next Pope would be.

Who would have guessed that his childhood would be spent in Dolton, Illinois???

Well... the cardinals did have some idea.  When Donald Trump was elected to the presidency in 2024, his was a presidency by fiat.  No matter how people grumbled, (and believe me, I did) our voices were those in the wilderness.  

Then came Leo XIV.

Before Leo, JD Vance (Trump's veep) was arguably the boss of bosses.  Well, not any more.  He isn't even a part-time mail room boy any more.  When Leo talks, Catholics listen.  Especially when he was born in Chi-town!

It's only a day now. We have yet to see.  But whether you're a practicing Catholic or a popcorn-eating observer, this could be very  interesting. 😄
