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!!!

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 if you're  from Scott Township, Conyngham, Fallston , Tamaqua   or Cornplanter Township in  Pennsylvania -  or anywhere in the United States - just do it!!!
