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 pla ce. If you want to get to a really adventurous trek, start your own protest! It doesn't matter whether it's five or 100,000. It doesn't matter if you're from Amherst, Appomattox , Blacksburg, Bloxom or Boydton in Virginia - or anywhere in the United States - just do it!!!
By the way, the second nominates her/himself to knock off the Republican troll, offer your services 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!!!
