Stomping at the Tower.....

So these are my Stomping at the Tower shoes....all of these months I was not on. Facebook...( I had a broken laptop)...I have been trying to do what I can to resist....whether it be marching around the Trump Tower in my favorite Pussy Shoes...or knitting pink hats....for the next big March..( because you know it is coming )....going to Die Ins ( because really a Die in is my speed for protest work....a tired grumpy nurse can always lay on the ground willingly....) and I make tea for my friends and coworkers and I have long talks with my son...I try to stat focused and keep peoples spirits up ...keep them focused as well....I make phone calls to DC when I can...even though I have doubts that anyone notices....I am stunned that more of our elected officials in DC, Dem and Republican are not speaking out against this horrific leader....I feel like this must be what the 1930s in Germany must have been like...it is a nightmare....but Silence is not an option...running and hiding...not an option....If we don't fight back now....it might be too late...There are lives at stake...Millions of lives...We can not abandon each other or what made this country once great...Huddled masses must come together to fight this monster...We must be creative...peaceful...and take care of each other...we must not give up. Ever. We are all we've got. 

The "Good Luck " Hurricane and Trump's First Evil Pardon...

So this weekend...214 days in Trumpland Hell....Mr.Trump sneaks off to Camp David...clutching hand of small innocent children ( their mother Ivanka nowhere to be seen...) and reporters yelled to Trump ..."Any Thoughts on the Hurricane Harvey bearing down on Texas ? " ...He yelled back "Good Luck...sending them Good Luck"....Lordy folks facing a Cat 4 Hurricane roaring towards the Texas coastline and that is all he can say ??? I have a rotted potato in my fridge that would have had a better response....seriously Good Luck ???

It is now the next day...we will see if the folks had any Luck....or if any died...and what the real damage is....gee I sure hope it does not interrupt the Mr.Trump's golf game....12 hours later the Storm is now merely a Cat One...but the rains keep coming and the flooding is real....extensive...as is the damage....

So while the Hurricane was bearing down the Shithead in chief took the time to Pardon Sheriff Arpaio....( please do read ALL the fine stories from the AZ newspapers, there are hundreds about his Concentration camps and other atrocities )....I can not really rationalize what his thinking was , as a Hurricane was blasting the Texas coast, he felt compelled to "pardon" this repugnant bigot....that was his priority...so does that make him evil ? Mentally ill ? Soulless.. I do not know.

And before the night was over he also put forth his pathetic Transgender Military ban....which I have no words for how Un-patriotic that is....

So why did he do all of that last night....I think he was tired of the relentless Friday Night News Dumps that always target him..and the Russia Investigation...
.so he went into a revenge frenzy...like a small child at a birthday party who feels forgotten ..so he feels compelled to make himself the center of attention , even if it means smearing cake on the walls and shitting his pants....

I have no kind thoughts today....I have anger, angst, and a foul mouth....I have prayers for Texas...and worries for my friends there....I am playing #LaundryMusic ( resistance music ) on Twitter while I do laundry....We need to keep spirits up...and take care of each other...and try to find a way to end this horrific presidency...there is more work to be done....

Trump's Rallies Gin Up the Hate

What people do not realize is that Trump has ginned up the Hate in our country. He has targeted so many people, mocking them and degrading them. Women, disabled, injured Vets, immigrants, refugees, people who are struggling and poor, working poor. The rallies which he held during the election are still being held whenever his ego needs a boost. He has encouraged violence at his rallies, and for anyone to be shocked at what happened Charlottesville, they need to only watch how he eggs on the crowds , spewing hate and venom. He is not a leader, he is a Bully. This past week, watching how he would not distance himself from the violence, his "Both sides " statement left so many of us sick, disheartened. Yet on another level, now there are no questions about Who or What he is. And those young men carrying torches and chanting " Blood and Soil" are his people, they are his fans, his base. So yesterday he would not acknowledge the 40,000 that came out to protest Hate in Boston, he at first Tweeted praise to the police, to try to intimidate and let people know he did not support the people marching. It is worrisome none of the GOP are speaking out about Charlottesville, or speaking out against Hate or Trump, does that mean they support Nazis and White Power ? Time will tell why they have not spoken out, a lack of courage might just be the explanation. This week Trump goes to Arizona, it is up to use to keep our eye on him, to not turn away.
