Dump Trump!!!

 

  It's noIt'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'?

And Trump blames Joe Biden???

But you CAN do something.   Hands Off is a great place  to start.  If you want to get to a really adventurous trek, start your own protest!  It doesn't matter if you're from Akron, Alfred, Amsterdam, Antwerp, or Ardsley in New York - or anywhere in the United States - just do it!!!

ezs note:  The torture and murder of Sam Nordquist is so beyond belief - but it's true.  Normally, I don't like to call for excessive prison time, but in this case, they so RICHLY deserve it.  Lock em' up and throw away the key!!!
